C^l-contact and C^l-right equivalences of real semi-quasihomogeneous C^l-function germs

In this paper we investigate the C ` versions of contact and right equivalences of real semi-quasihomogeneous C ` function germs, 1 ≤ ` ≤ ∞. The C ` -right equivalence implies C ` -contact equivalence for any 1 ≤ ` ≤ ∞ and in this work we show, up to certain conditions, that for semi-quasihomogeneous C ` function germs the converse is also true. As a consequence, we recover some known results about C∞-right and C∞-contact equivalences of C∞ function germs. We note that we are considering semi-quasihomogeneous function germs with no additional hypothesis of isolated singularity at zero.

Restauración onlay usando técnica semi-directa con resina compuesta: reporte de un caso

Posterior teeth restorations have changed the contemporary treatment philosophy influenced by the aesthetic demand of patients, progress of adhesive material science and techniques for preservation and rehabilitation of affected teeth by dental caries and trauma. The development of Onlay restorations with semi-direct technique in endodontically teeth treated aims to preserve the remaining surfaces, to reduce the possibility of fracture and polymerization shrinkage. In addition, better restoration adaptation and marginal seal, resistance to wear and dimensional stability are achieved. This case reports the rehabilitation of an endodontically treated permanent maxillary first molar in a 13 years old- patient who attended the Araraquara School of Dentistry, Brazil, using Miris 2 Composite resin with semi-direct technique and obtaining an aesthetic and functional restoration in a single appointment. The fundaments and clinical guidelines of the procedure are detailed, based on the review of the literature that supports this conservative treatment.

Estudo comparativo da inclinação do plano oclusal de modelos para cirurgia ortognática montados em dois tipos de articuladores semi-ajustáveis

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare occlusal plane angulation measured in two different types of semi-adjustable articulators with that obtained on the lateral cephalometric radiograph. Materials and Methods: 20 patients due to undergo orthognathic surgery had dental casts mounted in two different types of semi-adjustable articulators through face bow transfer from the position of the maxilla and occlusal recording to the mandible. After mounting, the inclination of the occlusal plane in the articulators was measured and compared with the inclination measured at on both articulators and compared with the inclination measured on the lateral cephalometric radiographs and between the articulators themselves. The results obtained werestatistically analyzed. Results: Mean angulation values for the Bio Art (7.55º) and Kavo (-5.70º) articulators differ by 13.25º, which is statistically significant (p=0.00). When individually compared to the lateral cephalometric radiograph (5.075º), the Bio Art articulator showed more similar angulation values, with a difference of 2.475º, while the Kavo articulator presented a difference of 10.775º. Conclusion: Neither of the models of semi-adjustable articulators accurately reproduced the inclination of the maxillary occlusal plane of patients with dentofacial deformities; the difference between the two articulators tested and the lateral cephalometric radiograph was lower for the Bio Art than for the Kavo articulator.

Semi-supervised learning for relevance feedback on image retrieval tasks

Relevance feedback approaches have been established as an important tool for interactive search, enabling users to express their needs. However, in view of the growth of multimedia collections available, the user efforts required by these methods tend to increase as well, demanding approaches for reducing the need of user interactions. In this context, this paper proposes a semi-supervised learning algorithm for relevance feedback to be used in image retrieval tasks. The proposed semi-supervised algorithm aims at using both supervised and unsupervised approaches simultaneously. While a supervised step is performed using the information collected from the user feedback, an unsupervised step exploits the intrinsic dataset structure, which is represented in terms of ranked lists of images. Several experiments were conducted for different image retrieval tasks involving shape, color, and texture descriptors and different datasets. The proposed approach was also evaluated on multimodal retrieval tasks, considering visual and textual descriptors. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
