Our previous histopathological study showed that the augmentation block, prepared from a calcium phosphate cement (CPC) mixed with H2O at powder to liquid ratio of 5 g/mL, placed on the alveolar bone ridge, was gradually replaced by natural bone. In the present study, fluorescent labeling analysis (FLA) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) were performed on the same surgical site of the abov...

Abstract Though foreign language anxiety (FLA) has long been recognized as an important affective factor in second learning, its impact is worth studying new educational contexts of emergency remote teaching response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The present study examines key factors behind FLA online English for Specific Purposes (ESP). research was conducted among a sample 171 first-year undergr...

Leprosy is a curable neglected disease of humans caused by Mycobacterium leprae that affects the skin and peripheral nerves and manifests clinically in various forms ranging from self-resolving, tuberculoid leprosy to lepromatous leprosy having significant pathology with ensuing disfiguration disability and social stigma. Despite the global success of multi-drug therapy (MDT), incidences of cli...

Facility location decision is basically viewed as a long-term strategy, so the inherited uncertainty of main parameters ought to be taken into account in order to make models applicable. In this paper, we examine the impact of uncertain transportation costs and customers' demands on the choice of optimal location decisions and allocation plans. This leads to the formulation of the facility loca...

Micropores and biofilms of soils may protect bacteria against chemical stress, predation, and competition phenomena, explaining the great diversity and robustness of soil microbial communities and functions. We used sequential dispersion/density gradient centrifugation to separate free and loosely attached cells (FLA) from strongly attached cells (SA). The two fractions of the soils communities...

Studies examining the positive emotion of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) have recently increased exponentially, as researchers are applying tenets psychology in applied linguistics. It is therefore an appropriate time to take stock current literature and conduct a preliminary meta-analysis. The relationships between FLE four variables, namely, anxiety (FLA), willingness communicate (WTC), aca...

In response to growing global interest in organic agriculture, this study delves into the microbial landscape of organically grown raw produce with a focus on food safety. Vegetables that are consumed potential vehicles for transmission any type microorganism capable causing human disease. Free-living amoebae (FLA) ubiquitous protozoa found many ecosystems and can serve as hosts pathogenic bact...

The in vivo effects of remoxipride, in relation to some of its identified metabolites, were investigated in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. The methods used included: (1) estimation of the in vivo rate of brain monoamine synthesis by measuring the accumulation of dihydroxyphenylalanine and 5-hydroxytryptophan after decarboxylase inhibition; (2) observations of spontaneous locomotor activity in ...

BACKGROUND Pathogenic water dwelling protozoa such as Acanthamoeba spp., Hartmannella spp., Naegleria spp., Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp. are often responsible for devastating illnesses especially in children and immunocompromised individuals, yet their presence and prevalence in certain environment in sub-Saharan Africa is still unknown to most researchers, public health officials and ...
