abstract introduction: the mineral content of dentin increases with age and its primary structure is altered. these changes may have unknown effects on efficiency of adhesive systems. the aim of this study was to find the effect of aging on dentin bonding agents. methods and materials: fourty eight extracted human premolars were divided into 2 groups under 15 years old & 2 groups over 45 years ...

every year a large number of migratory wintering water birds, rest in the wetlands situated in the northern provinces of iran. the wetlands are very important ecosystems for these creatures. due to ecological importance of water birds, the results of this study (the birds’ populations and their changes) are helpful to monitor them and are especially important to manage the wetlands. in this stu...

Objective. To investigate the contribution of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) to micturition and defecation symptoms. Method. Cross-sectional study including 64 women presenting with POP symptoms and 50 controls without POP complaints. Subjects were evaluated using POP-Quantification system, Urinary Distress Inventory, and Defecation Distress Inventory. The MOS SF-36 health survey and the Center fo...

The analysis and profiling of short tandem repeat (STR) loci is routinely used in forensic genetics. Current methods to investigate STR loci, including PCR-based standard fragment analyses and capillary electrophoresis, only provide amplicon lengths that are used to estimate the number of STR repeat units. These methods do not allow for the full resolution of STR base composition that sequencin...

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a disabling disorder in women characterized by a loss of pelvic floor support, leading to the herniation of the uterus into or through the vagina. POP is a complex problem that likely involves multiple mechanisms with limited therapies available, and is associated with defects in connective tissue including elastic fibers. This study was designed to investigate th...

Prior research indicated that information processing is influenced by the proximity of the hands to information: visuospatial processing is fostered near the hands, whereas textual processing might not be affected or even inhibited near the hands. This study investigated how the proximity of the hands to digital information in pop-ups influences learning outcomes on multi-touch devices. Dependi...

Paper pop-ups are interesting three-dimensional books that fascinate people of all ages. The design and construction of these pop-up books however are done manually and require a lot of time and effort. This has led to computer-assisted or automated tools for designing paper pop-ups. This paper proposes an approach for automatically converting a 3D model into a multi-style paper pop-up. Previou...

We study the chiral interactions of hidden charm $D\bar{D}^*$ system within effective field theory. Chiral Lagrangians are constructed by incorporating symmetry, heavy quark symmetry as well proper charge conjugation properties mesons. The interacting potentials $S$-wave calculated up to second order at 1-loop level, where complete two-pion exchange included. further investigate behaviors in co...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in women with POP and the effect of baseline POP severity on improvement in OAB after surgical repair of POP. And we also tried to identify any preoperative factors for persistent postoperative OAB symptoms. METHODS A total of 87 patients with coexisting PO...
