Winter storm-track activity over the Northern Hemisphere and its changes in a greenhouse gas scenario (the Special Report on Emission Scenarios A1B forcing) are computed from an ensemble of 23 single runs from 16 coupled global climate models (CGCMs). All models reproduce the general structures of the observed climatological storm-track pattern under present-day forcing conditions. Ensemble mea...

The purpose of this study was to assess reasons students seek a career in dentistry, their perceptions of the dental school admissions process, and their expectations of the profession.

The diode laser has become the most commonly utilized laser in dentistry. While diodes include wavelengths from 800 through 1064 nanometers, the 810 devices predominate. Diode lasers have many advantages over traditional surgical and therapeutic techniques including less pain, faster healing and new applications. Every specialty area of dentistry can utilize the powers of laser energy. Unfortun...

The scope was to analyze the perceptions of dentistry students at the State University of Montes Claros, Brazil, regarding dentistry, the job market and the public healthcare system. For this, a triangulation method was employed, using a self-administered questionnaire and interviews. The quantitative data were submitted to univariate and multivariate analysis, using Poisson regression, where p...
