OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the effect of intracanal antibiotic medicaments followed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the indentation properties and hardness of radicular dentin using a BioDent reference point indenter and a traditional microhardness technique, respectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens with intact root canal dentin surfaces and polished radicula...

Performance of a transverse feedback system with a simple 2-tap FIR filter was experimentally studied in TRISTAN AR. The 2-tap FIR filter eliminates DC components and change the amount of necessary phase shift by the tapposition. An ADC, a 2-tap FIR filter logic and a DAC are packaged in a single-width CAMAC module, which is also equipped with large-size memory, where the bunch oscillations ove...

BACKGROUND The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) is a critical component of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen processing and presentation pathway. TAP transports antigenic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum where it loads them into the binding groove of MHC class I molecules. Because peptides must first be transported by TAP in order to be presen...

We consider a -antenna space diversity system combined with two parallel equalizer branches for the reception of short-burst time-division multiple-access signals. By applying a combination of several recently proposed blind equalization algorithms, we make significant improvement over the burst error probability performance reported to date. This is achieved by starting the two blind equalizer...

The formulas for local root numbers of abelian varieties dimension one are known. In this paper we treat the simplest unknown case in two by considering a curve genus 2 defined over 5-adic field such that inertia acts on first $$\ell $$ -adic cohomology group through largest possible finite quotient, isomorphic to $$C_5\rtimes C_8$$ . We give few criteria identify curves and prove formula their...

AIM To highlight anatomical variation in the mandibular canine. SUMMARY Two clinical case reports are presented to illustrate anatomical variation in the human mandibular canine. Endodontic treatment may sometimes fail because morphological features of the tooth adversely affect the treatment procedures. Many investigators have reported the anatomical variations associated with mandibular can...
