Despite the urgent need to develop professional ethics regarding information behaviour, several obstacles exist in Japan. The greatest is the lack of individuals’ ethics of responsibility. To overcome this difficulty, we must examine and reflect on the historical circumstances that led to the formation of Japanese core ethics and on the sociocultural context that compensates for the lack of ind...

We derive some of the basic properties of weighted variable exponent Lebesgue spaces L p(.) w (R) and investigate embeddings of these spaces under some conditions. Also a new family of Wiener amalgam spaces W (L p(.) w , L q υ) is defined, where the local component is a weighted variable exponent Lebesgue space L p(.) w (R) and the global component is a weighted Lebesgue space Lυ (R) . We inves...

For any amalgam (S, T; U) of inverse semigroups, it is shown that the natural partial order on S *u T, the (inverse semigroup) free product of S and T amalgamating U, has a simple form onSUT. In particular, it follows that the semilattice of 5 *u T is a bundled semilattice of the corresponding semilattice amalgam (E(S), E(T); E(U)); taken jointly with a result of Teruo Imaoka, this gives that t...

OBJECTIVE Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been accepted as an appropriate root-end filling material in endodontic microsurgery because of setting ability in the wet environment. The aim of this study was to assess the bond strength of root-end placed MTA and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fossés, France) in the absence/presence of blood contamination. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-e...

introduction: in apical surgery, after apicoectomy and retro-preparation of canal, a retrofil material is applied to seal the apical region of the root canal. mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) is the gold standard material for this purpose. changing water/powder ratios of mta affects its properties. the purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the effect of liquid/powder ratio of retrofil...

introduction: osteoblasts and periodontal ligament cells are major cells for wound healing after root end resection. the interaction of osteoblasts with filling materials could play a critical role in healing of surgical lesion. adhesion and spreading of cells on material surface are the initial phase for cellular function. the purpose of the present study was the evaluation of morphology and a...

In this paper, we obtain a refinement of the Young theorem. The Young theorem tells us that the Fourier transform F sends the L functions to the Lp functions, if 1 ≤ p ≤ 2. This theorem has a refinement. For example, F : L → B ∞1, where B pq is the Besov space. In this present paper we shall consider the more refined version of this theorem by using the amalgams and the Besov spaces.

We consider sequences of discrete subgroups Γi = ρi(Γ) of a rank 1 Lie group G, with Γ finitely generated. We show that, for algebraically convergent sequences (Γi), unless Γi’s are (eventually) elementary or contain normal finite subgroups of arbitrarily high order, their algebraic limit is a discrete nonelementary subgroup of G. In the case of divergent sequences (Γi) we show that the resulti...

cytotoxic effects of obturation materials were tested in presence and absence of endotoxin on human monocytes in vitro.human monocytes from thp-1 cell line were cultured. three millimeters from the tip of each resilon and gutta percha points were cut and directly placed at the bottom of the culture wells. cultured cells were exposed to gutta percha (groups g1 and g2) and resilon (r1 and r2). te...
