VAIN: Attentional Multi-agent Predictive Modeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Multi-agent predictive modeling is an essential step for understanding physical, social and team-play systems. Recently, Interaction Networks (INs) were proposed for the task of modeling multi-agent physical systems, INs scale with the number of interactions in the system (typically quadratic or higher order in the number of agents).

Effect of Three Heating Guns on the Temperature of Two Bulk‐Fill Resin‐Based Composites

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of three heating guns—Phasor (Vista Apex, Racine, USA), VisCalor (VOCO, Cuxhaven, Germany), and Compex HD (AdDent Inc. Danbury, USA)—on the temperature changes of two bulk‐fill resin‐based composites (RBCs): VisCalor Bulk (VBF, VOCO) and Filtek One Bulk Fill Restorative (OBF, Solventum, St.

The fractographic analysis of three dentin bonding agents on tooth surface

Dental Journal, 2006
The dentin bonding agent is hydrophilic resin that can strongly bind to dentin surface, both in chemical and physical-mechanical ways. The dentin surface is good for the resin bonding when the surface is in moist condition.

Advancing Adhesive Strategies for Endodontically Treated Teeth—Part I: Impact of Endodontic Irrigation Protocols on the Chemical Composition and Structural Integrity of Coronal Dentin

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effects of four endodontic irrigation protocols on the chemical composition and ultrastructure of coronal dentin. Materials and Methods Coronal dentin fragments were assigned to five study groups: NaOCl (3% sodium hypochlorite), NaOCl/EDTA (3% NaOCl and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), NaOCl/EDTA/CHX (3% NaOCl ...

Probabilistic Agent Programs [PDF]

arXiv, 1999
Agents are small programs that autonomously take actions based on changes in their environment or ``state.'' Over the last few years, there have been an increasing number of efforts to build agents that can interact and/or collaborate with other agents.

Constructive agents nullify the ability of destructive agents to foster cooperation in public goods games [PDF]

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science 34.10 (2024)
Existing studies have revealed a paradoxical phenomenon in public goods games, wherein destructive agents, harming both cooperators and defectors, can unexpectedly bolster cooperation. Building upon this intriguing premise, our paper introduces a novel concept: constructive agents, which confer additional benefits to both cooperators and defectors.

Advancing Adhesive Strategies for Endodontically Treated Teeth—Part II: Dentin Sealing Before Irrigation Increases Long‐Term Microtensile Bond Strength to Coronal Dentin

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the long‐term microtensile bond strength (μTBS) to coronal dentin using pre‐endodontic dentin sealing (PEDS) and post‐endodontic adhesion (PEA) techniques under various endodontic irrigation protocols. Materials and Methods Ten study groups (n = 10) were established based on the timing of adhesive application (PEDS versus ...

Agent TCP/IP: An Agent-to-Agent Transaction System [PDF]

arXiv
Autonomous agents represent an inevitable evolution of the internet. Current agent frameworks do not embed a standard protocol for agent-to-agent interaction, leaving existing agents isolated from their peers. As intellectual property is the native asset ingested by and produced by agents, a true agent economy requires equipping agents with a universal

An agent framework for dynamic agent retraining: Agent academy [PDF]

In B. Stanford-Smith, E. Chiozza, and M. Edin, editors, Challenges and Achievements in e-business and e-work, pages 757-764, Prague, Czech Republic, October 2002. IOS Press, 2004
Agent Academy (AA) aims to develop a multi-agent society that can train new agents for specific or general tasks, while constantly retraining existing agents in a recursive mode. The system is based on collecting information both from the environment and the behaviors of the acting agents and their related successes/failures to generate a body of data,

Evaluation of Polymerization Shrinkage, Microhardness, and Depth of Cure of Different Types of Bulk‐Fill Composites

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to quantify polymerization shrinkage, microhardness, and depth of cure of different types of bulk‐fill composites. Methods Six bulk‐fill composites were tested: SonicFill 2 (SCF), VisCalor (VVC), Admira Fusion x‐tra (AFX), Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF), Fill‐Up! (FUP) and GrandioSO Heavy Flow (GHF).
