background and aims. at present, cone beam computed tomography (cbct) has become a substitute for computed tomography (ct) in dental procedures. the metallic materials used in dentistry can produce artifacts due to the beam hardening phenomenon. these artifacts decrease the quality of images. in the present study, the number of artifacts as a result of beam hardening in the images of dental imp...

[email protected] Abstract In this paper, we will address the problem of distributing and scheduling movies on a multiprocessor video server. We will also address the issue of scheduling communication over the multiprocessor switch for the playback of the scheduled movies. A solution is proposed in this pap...

Rewriting induction (Reddy, 1990) is an automated proof method for inductive theorems of term rewriting systems. Reasoning by the rewriting induction is based on the noetherian induction on some reduction order and the original rewriting induction is not capable of proving theorems which are not orientable by that reduction order. To deal with such theorems, Bouhoula (1995) as well as Dershowit...

Radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy are accepted treatments for localized prostate cancer. However, it is unknown if survival differences exist among treatments. We analyzed the survival of patients treated with these modalities according to contemporary standards. A total of 10,429 consecutive patients with localized prostate cancer treated with radical prostate...
