  Complete or ultraconservative removal of decayed tissue in unfilled teeth
To test the null hypothesis of no difference in the incidence of damage or disease of the nerve of the tooth (pulp), progression of decay and longevity of restorations irrespective of whether the removal of decay had been minimal (ultraconservative) or complete.
Outcome measures recorded were exposure of the nerve of the tooth (pulp) during caries removal, patient experience of symptoms of pulpal inflammation or necrosis, progression of caries under the filling, time until the filling was lost or replaced.
Due to the heterogeneity of the included studies the overall estimate of effect was calculated using a random-effects model.

Given an input instance, a multiclass hypothesis computes a similarity-score between each prototype and the input instance and sets the predicted label to be the index of the prototype achieving the highest similarity.
Ultraconservative algorithms are algorithms that update only the prototypes attaining similarity-scores which are higher than the score of the correct label's prototype.
We start by describing a family of additive ultraconservative algorithms where each algorithm in the family updates its prototypes by finding a feasible solution for a set of linear constraints that depend on the instantaneous similarity-scores.

 People's Weekly World - Rigged election blocks Iran’s path to reform   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Iran’s ultraconservative clerical establishment has denied millions of voters the chance to continue on the path of reform by rigging the results of the June 17 presidential election.
But the most astonishing result was the sudden elevation of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Tehran’s ultraconservative mayor, to second place with 19 percent.
Ahmadinejad, 49, who was almost invisible during the month long campaign, has risen in the ranks of “Revolutionary Guards Corps,” the armed forces loyal to the clerical establishment.

 H-Net Review: Lisa Krissoff Boehm on Women of the Far Right: The Mother's Movement and World War II
Jeansonne, a seasoned political biographer, is a professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and brings a biographer's eye for detail to his narrative of the formation of these organizations.
Including a full discussion of the women who worked as liberal anti-war activists would have linked the previously unknown story of the ultraconservative women to a more established historiography, and provided a better context for understanding their actions.
Perhaps the reader would also be better able to understand the motivations of the far right-wing activists had the issue of ethnicity been knit more completely into Jeansonne's narration; many of these women must have been at least partially compelled to oppose entry into World War II because of German, Italian, or Irish ancestry.

 Gap Narrows Between Specter, Toomey For U.S. Senate - Politics
To understand the contest, you've got to know the candidates and NBC 10's Terry Ruggles studied both men who want to be Pennsylvania's senator.
Political experts say Bush needs Specter to help him attract moderate voters in Pennsylvania, which could be a critical swing state in the race for president.
Pennsylvania's primary election is being watched across the country because Toomey is considered by many people to be ultraconservative, and the winner of the Republican nomination would determine the direction that Pennsylvania Republicans will take for years to come.

 Why Judicial Appointments Are Important to Working Families
This is all the more outrageous because many of the seats Bush now wants to fill with ultraconservative appointees are only vacant because Senate Republicans blocked President Clinton's appointees to those very same seats.
This includes three seats on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee; two seats on the 5th Circuit, which covers Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana; and two seats on the powerful District of Columbia Circuit, which hears the vast majority of employer challenges to the decisions of the NLRB.
Republicans now are trying to take advantage of their own obstructionism and pack the courts with ultraconservative appointees.

 Supreme Court Shifts Right, Kennedy Moderates Impact of Roberts and Alito
WASHINGTON - June 29 - The U.S. Supreme Court’s first term under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts demonstrated a clear rightward shift on key constitutional principles and other issues, and the cases accepted by the Court for next year’s term could accelerate the trend.
Justice Anthony Kennedy emerged as a conservative swing vote, often joining his ultraconservative colleagues while sometimes preventing them from putting even more extreme positions into law.
Mincberg said the 2006-07 term will offer the Court’s ultraconservatives several opportunities to move the nation backwards on key civil rights, civil liberties and other issues.

 Nets Zero in on "Ultraconservative" Ratzinger, "God's Rottweiler" --4/19/2005-- Media Research Center
Just as Germany's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has emerged in the media as a leading papal candidate, the U.S. media have decided to do their best to discredit him by applying extreme and pejorative labels to him and portraying him as the enemy of progress.
On Sunday, NBC's Jim Maceda referred to "the ultraconservative Ratzinger" and reported that "he was briefly a member of Hitler's youth group in Nazi Germany." On Monday morning, Katie Couric asserted that Ratzinger is "known to be quite conservative.
"Seventy-eight year German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger still appears the frontrunner but the ultraconservative Ratzinger, part of John Paul's inner circle, may be hurt by news reports that, as a teenager, he was briefly a member of Hitler's youth group in Nazi Germany.

 Listen to Muslim silent majority in US | csmonitor.com
Most Muslim American institutions today, from local mosques to national advocacy groups, reflect an ultraconservative Muslim agenda not shared by most within their community, which at an estimated 6 million now equals the size of the American Jewish community.
So Americans are often left with two extreme views on Islam - one promoted by Muslim ultraconservatives and the other, an equally dangerous one, represented by professional anti-Muslim bigots.
The challenge for the millions of Muslims excluded by these groups is that they don't have the financial and institutional backing enjoyed by the fundamentalist organizations, many of which are financed by rich donors from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.
