The study evaluated the effect of genotype and growing locations on biofortified cassava root genotypes’ chemical properties. Twentyeight genotypes yellow white-fleshed were planted across four geographical areas in Nigeria harvested for two seasons. This research analyzed properties (DM, VC, TC, CNP) samples using standard laboratory procedures. ANOVA, descriptive analysis, PCA, HCA was carrie...

Childhood stunting can have negative long-term consequences on cognitive development, academic achievement, and economic productivity later in life. We determined the prevalence of examined whether associated risk factors (low dietary diversity, insufficient hemoglobin, food insecurity, soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections) are with achievement function among South African children living...

This work is the first systematic study on static behavior of adhesively-bonded Fe-SMA-to-steel joints in applications adopting iron-based Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). In order to provide a better understanding mechanical adhesively bonded joint, an experimental campaign was established, involving 24 lap-shear tests displacement-controlled loading regime. The test series includes two types Fe-SM...

Abstract Background Women across the world value choice and control throughout their maternity care experiences. In response to this health policy frameworks are adapting developing. The concepts of extrinsically complex open interpretation by healthcare professionals service users, with two not necessarily aligning. Depending on a number factors, women’s experiences within same system may be v...

A major challenge in developmental biology is to correlate genome-wide gene expression modulations with developmental processes in vivo. In this study, we analyzed the role of Runx2 during intramembranous and endochondral bone development, by comparing gene expression profiles in 14.5 dpc wild-type and Runx2 (-/-) mice. A total of 1277, 606 and 492 transcripts were found to be significantly mod...

Root canal instrumentation produces a layer of organic and inorganic material called the smear layer that may also contain bacteria and their by-products. It can prevent the penetration of intracanal medicaments into dentinal tubules and influence the adaptation of filling materials to canal walls. This article provides an overview of the smear layer, focusing on its relevance to endodontics. T...
