Complex fuzzy (CF) sets (CFSs) play an important role in modeling two-dimensional information challenges. Researchers exploring decision-making systems have recently become interested CFS extensions. The complex T-spherical (CT-SF) set (CT-SFS) is a recent extension of the CFSs. present study aims to devise Frank operational laws for CT-SF environment and verify their required properties. Subse...

Bioprospecting in unusual marine environments provides an innovative approach to search novel biomolecules with antibiofilm activity. Antarctic sponge-associated bacteria belonging Colwellia, Pseudoalteromonas, Shewanella and Winogradskyella genera were evaluated for their ability contrast the biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 Staphylococcus aureus 29213, as model organisms...

Dental anxiety is a common health problem among children. It creates major issues for patients, parents, and dental professionals. Children who cancel or otherwise miss their appointments generally do so due to fear of the unknown lack understanding what they can expect from environment treatment when arrive there. Some distraction interventions are already used by professionals, such as using ...

9 Aim One in seven children or adolescents suffer from a high level of dental fear/anxiety (DFA) hindering or delaying their dental service attendance. To overcome this negative psychological condition an early diagnosis should be performed through validated psychometric scales adequate for children, such as the Children’s Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSSDS) and the Modified Child Den...

Biofilms as a form of adaptation are beneficial for bacterial survival and may be hot spots horizontal gene transfer, including conjugation. The aim this research was to characterize the biofilm biomass, viable cell ratios conjugative transfer pOX38 plasmid, an F-plasmid derivative, from Escherichia coli N4i strain (donor) into uropathogenic E. DL82 (recipient) within dual-species biofilms with...

This study investigates the antidiabetic and hypolipidemic potential of newly isolated Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strains in mature adipocytes. Differentiated 3T3-L1 cells are treated with 10% cell-free supernatants (CFSs) from four autochthonous (wild) (M2.1, C8, C15, P4) paracasei. Glucose consumption, intracellular lipid deposition, lipolysis rates, some gene expressions related to adipocy...

and school staff. therefore, it is essential to pay continuous and specific attention to safety problems in schools. we identified 20 critical success factors (csfs) in the current study based on previous researches in order to achieve effective school safety. then these factors validated by 33 governmental high school administrators. this survey was conducted in tehran, among 96 governmental h...

OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVEs of our studies were to predict dental fear in a child patient depending on salivary alpha amylase (sAA) level before and after dental treatment and to evaluate correla-tion of later with behavior of child patient during dental treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-seven children between age of 5 and 12 years were divided in three groups. Group 1 consisted of 25 school ...

BACKGROUND Reliable data about in vivo regulation of cytokines in osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the ankle are still missing. Disease-specific regulation patterns were hypothesized. METHODS 28 patients with a mean age of 30.7 ± 14.8 years undergoing an arthroscopy of the ankle because of OCD were prospectively included in a clinical trial. Lavage fluids were analyzed by ELISA for levels o...
