At the "International Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions" in 1999, the classification of periodontal diseases was revised (Armitage 1999). The various types of periodontitis were divided into three main categories (chronic, aggressive, and necrotizing periodontitis) as well as into a periodontal a manifestation of systemic diseases. This article provides a syno...

A role of ATP13A2 in early-onset Parkinsonism (EOP) has been proposed. Conversely, the contribution of this ATPase to late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unexplored. We therefore conducted a case-control association study in this age-of-onset group with PD. The initial sample was of German origin and consisted of 220 patients with late-onset PD (mean age of onset 60.1 years) and 232 age...

The Computerized Procedure System (CPS) is applied to the digital Main Control Room (MCR) of a nuclear power plant including an APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor 1400) in Korea as an operating supporting system [1]. The CPS provides an integrated operating means, such as a procedure with plant information, and supports decision-making and plant monitoring. The CPS also guides the operator to foll...

Abstract Since 1969 Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data have been collected by different observatories and analysed various analysis groups. LLR is providing the longest time series of any space geodetic technique for studying Earth-Moon dynamics. In recent years, observations carried out with larger telescopes at infra-red (IR) wavelength, resulting in a better distribution precise over lunar orbit...

Description EXCITEMENT is a 3-year research project (1/2012-12/2014) funded by the European Commission under FP7. The project consortium includes NICE Systems LTD (Israel) as coordinator, four academic partners, University of Bar Ilan (Israel), DFKI (Germany), FBK (Italy), University of Heidelberg (Germany), and two industrial partners, Almawave S.R.L. (Italy) and OMQ GmbH (Germany). The main t...

Under low-light greenhouse conditions, such as those found in northern latitudes, foliage of red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) varieties is often green and not visually appealing to consumers. Our objective was to quantify the effect of end-ofproduction (EOP; prior to harvest) supplemental lighting (SL) of different sources and intensities on foliage color of four red leaf lettuce varieties,...

In this paper, we holographically quantify the entanglement and complexity for mixed states by following prescription of purification. The bulk theory consider in work is a hyperscaling violating solution, characterized two parameters, exponent $\theta$ dynamical $z$. This geometry dual to non-relativistic strongly coupled with hidden Fermi surfaces. We first compute holographic analogy purific...

Phages of the P335 group have recently emerged as important taxa among lactococcal phages that disrupt dairy fermentations. DNA sequencing has revealed extensive homologies between the lytic and temperate phages of this group. The P335 lytic phage phi31 encodes a genetic switch region of cI and cro homologs but lacks the phage attachment site and integrase necessary to establish lysogeny. When ...

Ceramides are important for skin health, with a multitude of species found in both dermis and epidermis. The epidermis contains linoleic acid-Ester-linked Omega-hydroxylated ceramides of 6-Hydroxy-sphingosine, Sphingosine and Phytosphingosine bases (CER[EOH], CER[EOS] and CER[EOP], respectively), that are crucial for the formation of the epidermal barrier, conferring protection from environment...
