Actinomvcosis is now so widely known as a patilological entity that the presentation of another series of cases should be justified by at least some unusual feature of the syndrome or a contribution to tile treatment of this difficult disease. The fact that over 80 per cent of cases in humans occur in tile gastro-intestinal or respiratory system (Boyd 1943) is strong evidence in favour of infec...

Rhombellanes are mathematical structures existing in various environments, in crystal or quasicrystal networks, or even in their homeomorphs, further possible becoming real molecules. Rhombellanes originate in the K2.3 complete bipartite graph, a tile found in the linear polymeric staffanes. In close analogy, a rod-like polymer derived from hexahydroxy-cyclohexane was imagined. Further, the ide...

While the theoretical implications of models of DNA tile self-assembly have been extensively researched and such models have been used to design DNA tile systems for use in experiments, there has been little research testing the fundamental assumptions of those models. In this paper, we use direct observation of individual tile attachments and detachments of two DNA tile systems on a mica surfa...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphologic surface of gutta­percha cones after cutting with different methods. materials and methods: the apical 3 millimeters of forty standardized, gutta-percha cones size 40 were cut off using scissors or a scalpel against a glass slab. the samples were then examined under scanning electron microscopy (sem) for topographic deformit...

This paper addresses verification issues in combining knowledge bases or theories from different sources. Tile knowledge may be acquired using direct knowledge acquisition or inductive learning methods. Keeping the consistency of knowledge becomes all important issue when integrating two or more knowledge bases. Several independently consistent knowledge bases may give an inconsistent system wh...

Casting Silica at Room Temperature Silica cannot be used with traditional molding techniques because of its very high melting temperature. In addition, conventional grinding and polishing processes limit how small and complex the silica micro-optics can be. Geltech overcame these problems by developing methods to cast net-shape (no grinding necessary) silica-glass micro-optics at room temperatu...
