In this rebuttal, I will provide an empirically supported deconstruction of Dan’s primary lines of reasoning, in order to assess the validity of his underlying assumptions. My goal in presenting this counter-perspective is not to push back against Dan (in fact, I appreciate the discussion he has stimulated as a “devil’s advocate”), but rather to give fellow advisors a framework for assessing th...

A two-parameter family discrete-time exactly-solvable reaction-diffusion processes on a one-dimensional lattice is introduced, which contains the asymmetric simple exclusion process and the drop-push model as particular cases. The reaction is rewritten in terms of boundary conditions, and the conditional probabilities are calculated using the Bethe-ansatz. This is the discrete-time version of t...

conclusions this study suggested that chlorhexidine had no negative effect on the bond strengths of mta-treated dentin. results there were no statistically significant differences between all the experimental groups. the mode of bond failure was predominantly mixed for distilled water groups and cohesive for chx groups. materials and methods sixty dentin disks with a thickness of 1.5 ± 0.2 mm a...

As we stand at the portal of the next millennium, I am both excited and terrified about the future. I feel that as a modern civilization we may have become intoxicated by technology, and find ourselves involved in enterprises that push technology and build stuff just because we can do it. At the same time we confronted with a world that is increasing needful of vision and solutions for global p...

To design and develop a comfortable driver’s seat, cheaper in cost and adds value to the customer is an important issue in an automotive industry. It is tough to design such a driver car seat. However, taking account all these things many researchers have put effort to design and developed a driver car seat considering various aspects (e.g. Biomechanical, materials, vibration absorption, safety...

Payment channel networks use off-chain transactions to provide virtually arbitrary transaction rates. In this paper, we provide a new perspective on payment channels and consider them as a flow network. We propose an extended push-relabel algorithm to find payment flows in a payment channel network. Our algorithm enables a distributed and concurrent execution without violating capacity constrai...

A modification of the needle-tubing combination for the push-pull machine used for aspiration-irrigation of congenital and traumatic cataracts, is described. The new needle-tubing-handle combination is advantageous in that the incorporated handle makes the insertion and maneouvring in the anterior chamber easier and also the whole combination can easily be autoclaved as silastic tubing is used.
