As the adaptation of titanium crowns obtained by Rematitan Plus investment, specific for titanium, is not recognized to be suitable, this study evaluated the effect of the concentration of the specific liquid and the temperature of the mold of investments on the internal misfit of crowns cast on commercially pure titanium. Individual dies of epoxy resin were obtained, representing teeth prepare...

Data clustering methods have been proven to be a successful data mining technique in the analysis of gene expression data. The Cluster affinity search technique (CAST) developed by Ben-Dor, et. al., 1999, which has been shown to cluster gene expression data well, has two drawbacks. First, the algorithm uses a fixed initial threshold value to start the clustering. As stated in the original paper...

This document contains several sections of the CAST-256 AES Submission Package delivered to NIST on June 9, 1998. All complete submissions received by NIST will be made public in late August at the First AES Candidate Conference, but the following material is being made available now so that public analysis of the CAST-256 algorithm may begin (see, for example, http://www.ii.uib.no/~larsr/aes.h...

This paper examines the migration response to a millionaire tax in New Jersey, which raised its income tax rate on top earners by 2.6 percentage points to 8.97 percent, one of the highest tax rates in the country. Drawing on unique state tax micro-data, we estimate the migration response of millionaires to the rate increase, using a difference-in-differences estimation strategy. The results ind...

Conley and Wilkie (1993) introduced and axiomatized the Nash extension bargaining solution, defined on a domain of comprehensive but not necessarily convex problems. In this paper we present a non-cooperative game that implements the Nash extension solution in subgame perfect equilibria in the limit as the discount rate applied between rounds of play vanishes.

The objectives of this project are; to demonstrate that hydrographic variability in shelf waters can be hind-cast, to a quantifiable degree, using a simple 1 dimensional physical model. To demonstrate that the model can be used to interpret the regional variability of ocean colour in terms of the mechanisms of physical forcing on phytoplankton growth. The effects of tidal front dynamics and the...

The soluble fraction from rabbit brain was adsorbed on a column of phenyl-Sepharose. By applying a linear gradient with decreasing salt concentration and increasing pH, it was possible to separate calpain I and calpain II from each other and from the endogenous inhibitor calpastatin. Both enzymes were capable of degrading endogenously labelled neuronal proteins, including slowly axonally transp...
