In order to make any sea level dive table usable during high altitude diving, a new conversion factor is created. We introduce the standardized equivalent sea depth (SESD), which allows conversion of the actual lake diving depth (ALDD) to an equivalent sea dive depth. SESD is defined as the sea depth in meters or feet for a standardized sea dive, equivalent to a mountain lake dive at any altitu...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency gingival bleeding (GB) and associated drug-withdrawal in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients using oral anti-coagulants (OAC).
 Materials Methods: 457 with AF receiving OAC were screened. periodontal parameters 32 spontaneous GB compared without who matched for age, sex treatment protocol.
 Results: detected (7.0%) 13 these...

PURPOSE To assess the association between risk markers of chronic oral inflammation and changes over time in periodontal probing depth (PD) in the third molar region, the distal of a second molar, or around a third molar. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The data from these analyses are part of a study of subjects enrolled with 4 asymptomatic third molars with adjacent second molars in an institutional r...

the dynamic probe is an effective tool used in site investigation. it is more economic than the use of direct drilling, particularly in explorations with moderate depth. this paper presents an experimental study to investigate the capability of using dynamic probing to evaluate the shear strength and compaction percent of fine soil. a series of dynamic probe tests were carried out at 6 differen...

Transcriptomics experiments and computational predictions both enable systematic discovery of new functional RNAs. However, many putative noncoding transcripts arise instead from artifacts and biological noise, and current computational prediction methods have high false positive rates. I discuss prospects for improving computational methods for analyzing and identifying functional RNAs, with a...

We deform the AdS/CFT Correspondence by the inclusion of a non-supersymmetric scalar mass operator. We discuss the behaviour of the dual 5 dimensional supergravity field then lift the full solution to 10 dimensions. Brane probing the resulting background reveals a potential consistent with the operator we wished to insert. e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], n.evans@hep....
