AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of direct resin composite restorations (Tetric Ceram-TC) and indirect composite inlays (Targis-TG) after 12 months. METHODS AND MATERIALS Seventy-six Class I and II restorations (44 direct and 32 indirect) were inserted in premolars and molars with carious lesions or deficient restorations in 30 healthy patients according to t...

Motivated by the method for color image segmentation based on intensity and hue clustering proposed in [26] we give some theoretical explanations for this method that directly follows from the natural connection between the maximum likelihood approach and Least Squares or Least Absolute Deviations clustering optimality criteria. The method is tested and illustrated on a few typical situations, ...

We describe an exceptional case of erythroid sarcoma in a pediatric patient as a growing orbital mass with no evidence of morphologic bone marrow involvement, who was finally diagnosed of pure erythroid sarcoma based on histopathology and flow cytometry criteria. We discuss the contribution of standardized eight-color flow cytometry as a rapid and reliable diagnostic method. The use of normal b...

This paper discusses criteria for selecting sensitizing dyes that are appropriate for use in a short red spectral sensitization of emulsions for a color negative film. A film that incorporates a red recording layer with peak sensitivity in the short red region of the spectrum better approximates the human eye’s natural sensitivity to red light, and therefore is capable of more accurately record...

Mice with the X-chromosomal sparse-fur (spf) mutation frequently have urinary bladder stones composed mostly of orotic acid, which was identified by the following criteria: ultraviolet and infrared absorption, spectra, chromatographic behavior, melting point, and reactivity in a specific color test. This clue led to the discovery that spf-bearing mice have an abnormal form of liver ornithine ca...

Changes in the color of teeth to become darker are a lot complaints by public. Bleaching is whitening treatment for that have changed color. Home bleaching can be done at home under supervision dentist using 10% carbamide peroxide period more than 2 weeks. The purpose this study was determine effectiveness as agent with an extended time against tooth discoloration. This type research Literature...

– This paper first presents a ”hidden label” approach for identifying the ownership and distribution of multimedia information (image or video data) in digital networked environment. Then it discusses criteria and difficulties in implementing the approach. Finally a method using a JPEG model based, frequency hopped, randomly sequenced pulse position modulated code (RSPPMC) is described. This me...

in recent years dietary fibers have been considered due to its beneficial effects. since the amount of fiber in dietary diet is usually less than the recommended amount (30 gr/day), fortification of bread with fiber can play an important role to achieve its health benefits. this project was studied to investigate on the possibility of supplementation of flour with dietary fibers. two different ...
