Final root canal irrigation stands as an effective strategy for eliminating the dentin infection. This study aimed to investigate and compare the antibacterial efficacy of QMix and other four final irrigation regimens in reducing Enterococcus faecalis within human root canals. Single-canal human teeth contaminated with E. faecalis for 4 weeks were prepared chemomechanically with sodium hypochlo...

23 Amylin enhances arcuate (ARC) and ventromedial (VMN) hypothalamic nuclei leptin signaling 24 and synergistically reduces food intake and body weight in selectively bred diet-induced obese 25 (DIO) rats. Since DIO I-amylin dorsomedial nucleus (DMN)-dorsomedial VMN (VMNdm) 26 binding was reduced, we postulated that this contributed to DIO VMH leptin resistance and that 27 impairing ventromedia...

This field experiment tested the impact of animation and language on the click-through rate (CTR) of banner advertisements across two website types. Animation results of over one million banner impressions were inconsistent for social networking and information websites. As expected, two languages, English and Norwegian, showed insignificant CTR differences. The CTR was under one tenth of one p...

Capsular tension ring (CTR) is endocapsular support device important during cataract surgery in eyes with weak zonular apparatus. It was presented our experience, advantages and limitations of CTR in phacoemulsification cataract surgery with damaged zonules. Phacoemulsification surgery was performed by clear corneal technique using topical anesthesia. Capsular ring was implanted to stabilize th...

Prions are protein-based infectious entities associated with fatal brain diseases in animals, but also modify a range of host-cell phenotypes in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Many questions remain about the evolution and biology of prions. Although several functionally distinct prion-forming proteins exist in S. cerevisiae, [HET-s] of Podospora anserina is the only other known fu...

A workflow is a collection of coordinated activities designed to achieve a well-defined common goal. Extant research on modeling and analysis of workflows by and large assume that a workflow consists entirely of co-operating tasks that are all controlled by the workflow scheduler. However in real life – especially in the emerging field of Web services, workflows operate in an open environment w...

Background: Restoring bonding composite to silver diamine fluoride (SDF)-treated enamel is challenging. This study investigates if phosphoric acid etch restores bond strength SDF-treated using universal adhesives. Methods: Twenty-four recently extracted permanent teeth were randomly divided into 4 (2 experimental (SDF) and 2 control (CTR)) groups: SDF+Water: SDF (1 min) then water rinse (15 mL)...

INTRODUCTION The cardio-thoracic ratio (CTR) and the transverse cardiac diameter (TCD) on Plain chest radiography are the two parameters commonly used to diagnose cardiomegaly and heart disease. A CTR of greater than 50% on a PA film is abnormal and normally indicates cardiac or pericardial disease condition, whiles an increase of TCD from 1.5 to 2cm on two consecutive radiographs, taken at sho...

Stereotype and most-popular recommendations are widely neglected in the research-paper recommender-system and digital-library community. In other domains such as movie recommendations and hotel search, however, these recommendation approaches have proven their effectiveness. We were interested to find out how stereotype and most-popular recommendations would perform in the scenario of a digital...
