statement of problem: bracket de-bonding during initial orthodontic archwire placement immediately after bracket set up or following re-bonding a single bracket can be a clinical concern. purpose: the aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of time on the shear bond strength of a no-mix orthodontic composite adhesive. materials and methods: seventy freshly extracted human upper firs...

Bond failure of a no-mix adhesive was evaluated in 320 patients followed longitudinally during orthodontic treatment. Factors evaluated were the patient's gender, the complexity of the appliance, the bond site location, initial crowding, and caries development. The overall bond failure rate was 7.2%. Bond failures were significantly higher in the mandible, with the second premolars showing the ...

While previous accounts of game have focused on competence necessary to interpret references across media (van Elferen 2016), this expands concept, includes discussion live performances oral traditions.The compositions included in pertain Japanese phenomenon convergence known as mix (S...

We describe a MIX cascade protocol and a reputation system that together increase the reliability of a network of MIX cascades. In our protocol, MIX nodes periodically generate a communally random seed that, along with their reputations, determines cascade configuration. Nodes send test messages to monitor their cascades. Senders can also demonstrate message decryptions to convince honest casca...

The Jakobsson hybrid Mix-net proposed by Jakobsson and Juels, is a very practical and efficient scheme for long input messages. But this hybrid Mix-net does not have public verifiable property. In this paper a new attack to the Jakobsson hybrid Mix-net is introduced. This attack breaks the robustness of the hybrid Mix-net scheme, given that the corrupted first mix server and one of the senders ...
