Wavelets in Field Theory
We advocate the use of Daubechies wavelets as a basis for treating a variety
of problems in quantum field theory. This basis has both natural large volume
and short distance cutoffs, has natural partitions of unity, and the basis
functions are all related to the fixed point of a linear renormalization group
equation.Comment: 42 pages, 2 figures, corrected typo
PLACE OF SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION'S IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER
Shanghai Cooperation Organization is on its way to be one of the biggest challengers of the unipolarity. The article particularly focuses on the security issues of not just the member states but the region as well. Security cases top the agenda of SCO states
Predicting the Impact of Batch Refactoring Code Smells on Application Resource Consumption
Automated batch refactoring has become a de-facto mechanism to restructure
software that may have significant design flaws negatively impacting the code
quality and maintainability. Although automated batch refactoring techniques
are known to significantly improve overall software quality and
maintainability, their impact on resource utilization is not well studied. This
paper aims to bridge the gap between batch refactoring code smells and
consumption of resources. It determines the relationship between software code
smell batch refactoring, and resource consumption. Next, it aims to design
algorithms to predict the impact of code smell refactoring on resource
consumption. This paper investigates 16 code smell types and their joint effect
on resource utilization for 31 open source applications. It provides a detailed
empirical analysis of the change in application CPU and memory utilization
after refactoring specific code smells in isolation and in batches. This
analysis is then used to train regression algorithms to predict the impact of
batch refactoring on CPU and memory utilization before making any refactoring
decisions. Experimental results also show that our ANN-based regression model
provides highly accurate predictions for the impact of batch refactoring on
resource consumption. It allows the software developers to intelligently decide
which code smells they should refactor jointly to achieve high code quality and
maintainability without increasing the application resource utilization. This
paper responds to the important and urgent need of software engineers across a
broad range of software applications, who are looking to refactor code smells
and at the same time improve resource consumption. Finally, it brings forward
the concept of resource aware code smell refactoring to the most crucial
software applications
Erkek üretrası içinde kulak temizleme çubuğu : alışılmadık üretral yabancı cisme ait vaka raporu
Urethral foreign bodies are rare urological emergencies and early management is vital. Mostly, the patient with a psychiatric disorder inserts the foreign body himself for erotic satisfaction. In this paper, we reported a case of a 22-year-old male patient who inserted a cotton swab into his urethra.Üretral yabancı cisimler, az rastlanan fakat erken müdahalenin hayati olduğu ürolojik acillerdendir. Çoğunlukla, psikiyatrik bir sorunu olan hasta erotik tatmin amacıyla yabancı cismi kendi yerleştirmektedir. Biz bu yazıda , kendi üretrasına kulak temizleme çubuğu yerleştiren 22 yaşındaki erkek hastaya ait bir vakayı raporladık
THE EFFECT OF BLOOD CONTAMINATION ON SHEAR BOND STRENGTH OF CALCIUM SILICATE-BASED PULP CAPPING MATERIALS
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different hardening times and blood contamination of MTA and Biodentine, which are widely used for pulp capping treatments in the market, on shear bond strength (SBS) with a self-etch adhesive resin, after different hardening times (24, 48, 72 and 96 hours).
Materials and Methods: Slots with a diameter of 5 mm and a height of 2 mm were prepared in 192 acrylic blocks for this study. Both ProRoot MTA and Biodentine were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and half of the slots were filled with ProRoot MTA and the other half were filled with Biodentine. All the samples were divided into groups depending on four different hardening times and hardened. After hardening process completed, the group of each hardening time was divided into 2 subgroups (n:12) with and without contamination.
In the uncontaminated groups, a self-etch adhesive resin (Clearfil Liner Bond) and a resin-based composite (Filtek P60) were applied on the samples and polymerized. In the contaminated groups, the sample surfaces were contaminated with blood for 20 seconds. After washing and drying the samples, adhesive resin and composite were applied on them. After that SBS tests were performed and the data were subjected to a 2-way ANOVA test analysis.
Results: In the uncontaminated groups, there was no significant difference in the SBS of each pulp capping material depending on different hardening times (p>0.05). ProRoot MTA showed statistically higher SBS than Biodentine in the 72 and 96 hour uncontaminated groups (p<0.05). Blood contamination caused a significant decrease in the SBS of ProRoot MTA and Biodentine (p<0.05).
Conclusions: In this study, it was determined that blood contamination reduces the SBS of pulp capping materials. Therefore, it is recommended to prolong the hardening times of the capping materials and to take clinical measures to prevent blood contamination as much as possible before restorative treatments are performed
