Network and computer systems have become a critical asset to all organizations. These complex networks must connect several different hardware, software data platforms seamlessly. This complexity makes it difficult reliably manage secure the network its attached while maintaining availability authorized users. Traditional approaches including use of VLANs, ACLs, firewalls, proxies are complicat...

the aim of this study was to compare the ability of 46 isolates of candida albicans to produce mycelial form with oral source in three groups of individuals including, removable appliance wearers, non-wearers and oral medicine patients. saliva samples were obtained from all subjects along with a foam imprint from the fitting surface of the upper removable appliance in the case of patients. colo...

With the prevalence of building automation and Internet-of-Things technologies, home energy management has become an active area in recent years. This paper proposes integrated, multi-objective Home Energy Management System (HEMS), which optimally schedules controllable electric household appliances to balance three objectives: 1) cost; 2) occupant’s use satisfaction appliances; 3) thermal comf...

Objectives: Prefabricated functional appliances have therapeutic effects similar to those of custom-made functional appliances. This study aimed to assess the dentoskeletal effects of Multi P® prefabricated functional appliance on Class II Div 1children in late mixed dentition. Methods: This open label trial was conducted on 18 children aged 9-12 years with Cl II Div 1 malocclusion due t...

Several methods of Class II treatment that do not rely on significant patient compliance have become popular during the last decade, including several versions of the Herbst appliance and the pendulum or Pendex molar-distalization appliances. Yet, these 2 general approaches theoretically have opposite treatment effects, one presumably enhancing mandibular growth, and the other moving the maxill...

Traumatized anterior teeth with subgingival fractures of the crown and root can be restored successfully after orthodontic extrusion. A technique is described which involves the use of a localized fixed appliance made of rectangular wire. The appliance is fabricated in the laboratory prior to bonding to the teeth with composite resin. The simple design of the appliance makes it easy to manage a...

The globalisation of information and communication technologies has raised the awareness to cultural differences within the HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) community, and specifically to how these differences and cultural attributes affect user interaction. Research in this area has focused on general cultural studies and cross-cultural psychology, as well as empirical work. The following repo...

By integrating Altia’s Design and DeepScreen GUI development tools suite, Echelon’s Power Line Smart Transceiver and ShortStack API, and the Altera Cyclone III FPGA and Nios II embedded processor, developers have a powerful platform for developing cost-effective, yet robust energy aware solutions. These solutions allow homeowners to monitor appliance energy use via a home area network, applianc...
