introduction: linguistically adapted oral health literacy tools are helpful to assess oral health literacy among local population with clarity and understandability. the original oral health literacy adult questionnaire, oral health literacy adult questionnaire, was given in english (2013), consisting of 17 items under 4 domains. the present study rationalizes to culturally adapt and validate o...

Recently, Babenko and Lempitsky [3] introduced Additive Quantization (AQ), a generalization of Product Quantization (PQ) where a non-independent set of codebooks is used to compress vectors into small binary codes. Unfortunately, under this scheme encoding cannot be done independently in each codebook, and optimal encoding is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we observe that PQ and AQ are both...

In this article, we study the restriction of Zuckerman’s derived functor (g,K)-modules Aq(λ) to g′ for symmetric pairs of reductive Lie algebras (g, g′). When the restriction decomposes into irreducible (g′,K′)-modules, we give an upper bound for the branching law. In particular, we prove that each (g′,K′)-module occurring in the restriction is isomorphic to a submodule of Aq′ (λ ′) for a parab...

This study examines the relation between autistic traits and the personality dimensions of the Big Five model in a sample of 320 university students. We administered the Autism-Spectrum Questionnaire (AQ) and the NEO-PI-R. Results showed the AQ correlated with Extraversion and Conscientiousness negatively, and Neuroticism positively. Results of multiple regression analyses suggested the NEO-PI-...

From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium Na+(aq) + A-(aq) + 1(nb) left arrow over right arrow 1•Na+(nb) + A-(nb) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (A- = picrate, 1 = dibenzo-18-crown-6; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as was log Kex (1•Na+, A-) = 1.7 ± 0.1. Further, the stab...

Presently, resin composites are indispensable for dental restorative treatment because of their favorable esthetic and mechanical properties. In particular, the adhesion of resin composites to dentin has been rapidly improved by progress resin adhesive systems. Of late, resin restorative procedures have been simplified with the development of adhesive systems with fewer processing steps. One of...

background: “teucrium polium l.” (tp) has been long recommended in iranian folk medicine for its anti-diabetic activities. we attempt here to evaluate the effect of tp extract on insulin secretion in rat pancreas. methods: rat pancreas was isolated in situ and perfused with krebs solution containing low glucose (lg, 2.8 mm) or high glucose (hg, 16.7 mm) as perfusate. the aqueous extract (aq. e)...

Integral heat of solution measurements of barium chloride to 619.81 K, copper oxide in an excess of perrhenic acid to 585 K, and cobalt perrhenate in perrhenic acid to 573 K were measured in a high dilution calorimeter (< or =10(-3) m) at psat, from which the high temperature thermodynamic properties of aqueous barium chloride, copper perrhenate, and cobalt perrhenate were obtained. From the kn...

Today's quantum field theory (QFT) relies heavenly on canonical quantization (CQ), which fails for φ44 leading only to a “free” result. Affine (AQ), an alternative procedure, leads “non-free” result the same model. Perhaps adding AQ CQ can improve of wide class problems in QFT.
