introduction: oral diseases are the most prevalent diseases probable at any age. they are chronic in nature and expensive to care.  accurate, comprehensive, well-structured, well-managed data is required to control and prevent oral diseases, clinical audit, quality of patient care, and administrative, financial, research and legal goals fulfillment we need. in dentistry, data collection would p...

The Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology Management (JITM) is publishing very selective papers on information management, technology in higher education, integrated systems, enterprise management, cultural thoughts, strategic contributions, management information systems, and cloud computing. We received numerous papers for this special issue but after an extensive pe...

While cropland expansion and demand for woodfuel exert increasing pressure on woody vegetation in East Africa, climate change is inducing cover gain. It however unclear if these contrasting patterns have led to net fractional loss or Here we used non-parametric (WC) predictions breakpoint detection algorithms driven by satellite observations (Landsat MODIS) airborne laser scanning unveil the WC...

The problem of disturbance rejection in the control of nonlinear systems with additive disturbance generated by some unforced nonlinear systems, was formulated and solved by {itshape Mukhopadhyay} and {itshape Narendra}, they applied the idea of increasing the order of the system, using neural networks the model of multilayer perceptron on several systems of varying complexity, so the objective...

A major programme of irrigated rice extension in the Middle Senegal River Valley has further limited river’s natural flooding floodplain (Waalo), initially reduced by drought. We conducted a transdisciplinary (TD) and gendered study region to explore links between agricultural biodiversity family diets using social analysis women’s practices. The results showed how expansion impacts local agrob...

in this paper, we introduce environmental systems engineering (ese) and describe some of its applications combined with process systems engineering (pse) to problems related to environmental systems. these systems—the water cycle and ecosystem cycles—are complex and highly dynamic, with an uncertainty level comparable to that of chemical systems. to illustrate the challenges of applying pse to...

introduction: implementation of hospital information system (his) depends on the complete organizational change in which most effective factors need to be considered. since the most important factor is human resources, training, survey, information and acceptance of the staff toward the his are also essential issues. we investigated the implementation of his in imam khomeini hospital. methods: ...

an artificial neural network (ann) approach was used to model the wheat production. from an extensive data collection involving 40 farms in canterbury, new zealand, the average wheat production was estimated at 9.9 t ha-1. the final ann model developed was capable of predicting wheat production under different conditions and farming systems using direct and indirect technical factors. after exa...

conclusions in conclusion, oral l-arginine supplementation appears to improve anthropometric parameters, blood pressure values, and some blood biochemical indices associated with cardiovascular disease prevention. results significant decreases in anthropometric parameters, blood pressure (sbp, dbp), fbs, hba1c, ldl, mda (p < 0.001), tg (p = 0.02), and tc (p = 0.002) and a significant increase i...
