At present there is a degree of uncertainty regarding when, how and in what form gluten should be introduced into the infant diet. For years the recommendations of the ESPGHAN Committee on Nutrition have prevailed, which include avoiding early introduction, before 4 months, and late, after 7 months, and gradually introducing gluten into the diet while the infant is being breastfed, with the aim...

Statistical mechanics deals with systems having a large number of particles. In statistical mechanics, large scale properties (such as temperature, pressure etc) are studied by applying probability theory to a large number of small particles. Hence this is a probabilistic theory and the behaviour of all of the system is studied using the average individual behaviour of particles. With small num...

One of the most attractive problems for post-quantum secure cryptographic schemes is the LWE problem. Beside combinatorial and algebraic attacks, LWE can be solved by a lattice-based Bounded Distance Decoding (BDD) approach. We provide the first parallel implementation of an enumeration-based BDD algorithm that employs the Lindner-Peikert and Linear Length pruning strategies. We ran our algorit...

introduction: early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is required in esophageal cancer due to its invasive nature. the aim of this study was to evaluate early post-esophagectomy complications in patients with esophageal cancer who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nacr).   materials and methods: this randomized clinical trial was carried out between 2009 and 2011. patients with lower-th...

This volume arose from a longstanding conviction that our subjective experience of information technology is profoundly affected by the extent to which we feel ourselves to be really present in the mediated worlds that the technology makes available to us. ‘Presence’ is just this “feeling of being inside the mediated world”. It is a crucial and increasingly necessary element in both design and ...

introduction: prefabricated metal and ceramic posts can be used with different kinds of core materials as an alternative to the conventional casting post and cores. it is unclear how these post and core systems can withstand different kind of forces in the mouth. the purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated, crowned maxillary incisors restored with ca...

introduction: post-operative pain and flare-up may occur in up to 58% of patients following root canal treatment. the aim was to conduct a systematic review and a possible meta-analysis to determine the effect of glucocorticosteroid (gcs) on pain following root canal treatment. methods and materials: scopus, medline and central databases were searched up to 30 th january 2017 with broad key wor...
