The article analyzes how the separation of the teaching of medicine and of dentistry occurred in Brazil. It highlights the role that the institutionalization of dental teaching policies played in shaping a professional identity. Relations are drawn between teaching policies and professional practices to show how their relationships and meanings have changed historically. It is argued that the t...

Self-healing materials attract a lot of attention because of their ability to repair the internal and external damage, thereby extending the lifetime of the material in numerous applications that we cannot repair easily. Diarylbibenzofuranone (DABBF), which is a novel dynamic covalent bond unit, can reach a state of radically thermodynamic equilibrium under air at room temperature without any s...

Autonomous fault detection represents one approach for reducing operational costs in large-scale computing environments. However, little empirical evidence exists regarding the implementation or comparison of such methodologies, or offers proof that such approaches reduce costs. This paper compares the effectiveness of several types of stochastic primitives using unsupervised learning to heuris...

it is disputed whether the law is an autonomous discipline or not? the adherents of the autonomy of law mainly are they, legal scholarship should be about distinctively legal topics and is not or should not be about other topics. the supporters of dependence of law mainly are legal realism, economic analysis of law, law and society, critical legal studies movement. they say the governing presup...

This descriptive study looked into Persian learners’ autonomy and its ties with in-class group dynamics. The participants were undergraduate learners and M.A. students together with their teachers. Data were collected, using a questionnaire, on the participants’ beliefs about autonomy, their autonomous behaviors, and their perceptions of group norms and group cohesiveness. Corresponding teacher...

The aim of the current study was to investigate whether Podcasts would have an effect on Iranian autonomous and non-autonomous EFL learners’ listening comprehension ability at pre-intermediate level. For this purpose, 60 Iranian pre-intermediate EFL learners at some Iranian institutes participated in the experiment of the study. Then they were divided into two groups based on an OPT and a...

A significant portion of bone fractures fail to heal properly, increasing healthcare costs. Advances in fracture management have slowed because translation barriers have limited generation of mechanism-based explanations for the healing process. When uncertainties are numerous, analogical modeling can be an effective strategy for developing plausible explanations of complex phenomena. We demons...

After careful reading of Kavulya [2013], [2] it was the informed view of this researcher, that the methods described in the Doctoral Dissertation could very easily resolve Chronic Performance Problems(CPPs) at Command Centers related to Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems. It is however not possible to use the same methods to resolve Chronic Performance Problems occurring in On-board Mission Criti...

• A novel 3D printed vascular system is proposed to develop self-healing cementitious composites. The developed composites show significantly increased fracture toughness than plain mortar. numerical finite element model shows good accuracy of simulating the influence printing parameters on behavior exhibit healing efficiency, high flexural strength regain by found after epoxy. Cracking one mai...

With the development of autonomous unmanned intelligent systems, such as the unmanned boats, unmanned planes and autonomous underwater vehicles, studies on Wireless Sensor-Actor Networks (WSANs) have attracted more attention. Network connectivity algorithms play an important role in data exchange, collaborative detection and information fusion. Due to the harsh application environment, abnormal...
