introduction: periodontitis is an inflammatory periodontal disease that leads to tooth loss. recently laser has been introduced as an alternative treatment for periodontitis. the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser with ultrasonic scaler in patients with moderate chronic periodontitis. methods: in this randomized single-blind...

a method for predicting liquid densities of binary mixtures from heat of vaporization and liquid densityat boiling point temperature (δhvap and n b ρ ) as scaling constants, is presented. b2(t) follows a promisingcorresponding-states principle. calculation of α(t) and b(t), the two other temperature-dependentconstants of the equation of state, are made possible by scaling. as a result δhvap and...

We investigate the KNO scaling function of the modified negative binomial distribution (MNBD), because this MNBD can explain the oscillating behaviors of the cumulant moment observed in e+e− annihilations and in hadronic collisions. By using a straightforward method and the Poisson transform we derive the KNO scaling function from the MNBD. The KNO form of experimental data in e+e− collisions a...

We considered folded spinning string in AdS5 × S5 background dual to the Tr ( DSΦJ ) operators of N = 4 SYM theory. In the limit S, J → ∞ and l = πJ √ λ logS fixed we compute the string energy with the 2-loop accuracy in the worldsheet coupling √ λ from the asymptotical Bethe ansatz. In the limit l → 0 the result is finite due to the massive cancelations with terms coming from the conjectured d...

M-convex functions have various desirable properties as convexity in discrete optimization. We can find a global minimum of an M-convex function by a greedy algorithm, i.e., so-called descent algorithms work for the minimization. In this paper, we apply a scaling technique to a greedy algorithm and propose an efficient algorithm for the minimization of an M-convex function. Computational result...
