BACKGROUND Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a rare, genetically determined defect in enamel mineralization associated with poor esthetics and dental sensitivity. Because the condition is associated with negative social outcomes, this study evaluated oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), dental fear, and dental beliefs before and after early prosthetic crown therapy for AI during adolesce...

PURPOSE Reliable data about in vivo regulation of cytokines in early ankle osteoarthritis (OA) are still missing. METHODS 49 patients with a mean age of 33 ± 14 years undergoing an arthroscopy of the ankle with different stages of chronic OA were prospectively included in a clinical trial. Lavage fluids were analyzed by ELISA. Additionally, clinical parameters and scores (FFI, CFSS, and AOFAS...

The milk’s natural flora, or the starter, can preserve cheesemaking and allow for microbial competition. This investigation aimed to improve cheese safety assess its characteristics using probiotic cell pellets (LCP) cell-free extracts (CFS). Cheese samples were collected from different areas investigate current contamination situation. Six CFSs of probiotics assessed as antifungal against toxi...

Machine learning methods have been successful in various aspects of bank lending. Banks accumulated huge amounts data about borrowers over the years application. On one hand, this made it possible to predict borrower behavior more accurately, on other, gave rise problem a redundancy, which greatly complicates model development. Methods feature selection, allows improve quality models, are apply...

In this article, a human centered approach for interactive face generation is presented. The users of the system are given the possibility to interactively generate faces from verbal description. The system generates automatically an average face from the same race of the target face using anthropometric measurements of the face and the head and displays it to the user as an initial face. This ...

Automatic and high quality hexahedral meshing of complex solid models is still a challenging task. To guarantee the quality of the generated mesh, current commercial software normally requires users to manually decompose a complex solid model into a set of simple geometry like swept volume whose high quality hexahedral mesh can be easily generated. The manual decomposition is a time-consuming p...

Currently, salinity is the second biggest challenge in world after drought and affects all stages of plant growth. The use environmentally friendly methods such as microorganisms their derivatives can reduce destructive effects stress. A growth chamber experiment was conducted to determine cell-free supernatant (CFS) from Bacillus strains on germination corn under Corn seeds were subjected thre...
