Introduction: Tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth from its alveolar socket which causes damage to the periodontal ligament structure, cementum, alveolar bone, gingiva, and dental pulp. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of long-shelf life honey milk to serve as a temporary storage medium for the maintenance of periodontal ligament (PDL) cell v...

We reformulate algorithm selection as a time allocation problem: all candidate algorithms are run in parallel, and their relative priorities are continually updated based on its current time to solution, estimated according to a parametric model that is trained and used while solving a sequence of problems.

Interactions between insulin signaling and stress-response pathways can markedly impact life span. In this issue, Tullet et al. (2008) demonstrate that the worm homolog of Nrf2, called SKN-1, a transcription factor that switches on expression of antioxidant genes, is an important component of such signaling interactions.

For survival and achieving reliability in ultra longlife missions, fault tolerant design techniques need to handle the predominant failure mode, which is the wear-out of components. Conventional design methodologies will need excessive redundancy to achieve the required reliability. The objective of this paper is to present a new approach to design a more efficient fault-tolerant avionics syste...

Digital Games as a means of learning have become more important in recent years. Infrastructural and sociological developments have created fertile grounds for game innovations, making use of latest technology and being welcomed by new generations of learners. This chapter focuses on an overview of the current state of the art of learning games, explaining different perspectives. As the gamers’...

biological reactions of the two-spotted spider mite (tss), tetranychus urticae, were studied on nine cultivars of tomatoes. the spider mites were reared on leaf discs, taken from fruiting stages of the host plants. the effects of feeding on some tomato cultivars, namely: long shelf life, meran (greenhouse cultivars), redclude, western red, imperial, yazd, mazandaran, west azarbaijan and khorasa...

Studies over the last several years have revealed important roles of the body fat content, caloric intake and nutrition, insulin/IGF-1 signaling systems, and pathways involved in oxidative stress and control of protein acetylation on life span. Although the discovery of longevity genes supports the concept that life span is genetically determined, adipose tissue seems to be a pivotal organ in t...
