This paper describes unimodular probing { a new technique that has been used to solve a class of dynamic scheduling problems. In benchmarks a unimodular probing algorithm has outperformed two well-established approaches: backtrack search with local consistency and spe-cialised heuristics, and mixed integer programming (MIP). The problems amenable to unimodular probing involve disjunctive constr...

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most popular example of dynamic probing, a large category soil testing techniques. Understanding and interpretation these tests hampered by difficulties reproducing them under controlled laboratory conditions. virtual calibration chamber technique, based on Discrete Element Method (DEM), may supplement or substitute this complex experimentation. In pap...

This summary is organized into four parts. In the first section (News) I discuss the SuperKamiokande results on atmospheric neutrino oscillations, as well as recent results from cosmology. The second section (Refinements) focuses on electroweak tests, recent results in the flavor sector and in probing QCD, as well as searches for new particles. The third section (Mysteries) discusses issues ass...

OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the efficacy of mechanical debridement (MD) with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in reducing periimplant inflammation among cigarette-smokers and non-smokers. METHODS Cigarette-smokers and non-smokers were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the test-group, participants underwent full mouth scaling and periimplant MD with adjunct aP...
