OBJECTIVE To clarify the influence of an experimental palatal plate on the mandibular position during continuous [n] phonation and at the physiological rest position in complete denture wearers. METHODS Ten complete denture wears volunteers were investigated. Two kinds of experimental palatal plate with a thickness of 3 mm and 5 mm (from the denture basal surface to denture polished surface) ...

The Asian–Australian Monsoon (AAM), the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) have been known to induce variability in ocean surface characteristics along southern coast of Lesser Sunda Island (LSI). However, previous studies used low spatial resolution data little Ekman dynamics analysis. This study aims investigate direct influence AAM winds on conditions determin...

BACKGROUND Southern Taiwan has been a hotspot for dengue fever transmission since 1998. During 2014 and 2015, Taiwan experienced unprecedented dengue outbreaks and the causes are poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the influence of regional and local climate conditions on the incidence of dengue fever in Taiwan, as well as to develop a climate-based model for future forecasting. ...

The claim for a zonal-dipole structure in interannual variations of the tropical IndianOcean (IO) SSTs—the Indian Ocean dipole (IOD)—is reexamined after accounting for El Niño–Southern Oscillation’s (ENSO) influence. The authors seek an a priori accounting of ENSO’s seasonally stratified influence on IO SSTs and evaluate the basis of the related dipole mode index, instead of seeking a posterior...

In the past, great advances in Indian Ocean research have emerged after expeditions by research vessels such as the Discovery in the 1930s or international cooperative observational programs such as the International Indian Ocean Expedition (1960–65) and ship surveys during the World Ocean Circulation Experiment in the mid-1990s. However, Saji et al. (1999) and Webster et al. (1999), in two let...

Understanding the impact of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on fishery around Indonesia is important as resources are small compared to demand. In this study, we analyzed effect positive and negative phases IOD chlorophyll-a concentration catch Sardinella lemuru in Bali Strait. Data based field surveys Strait during phase Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Chlorophyll (SSC) obtained from analysis satellit...

The positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event in 2019 was among the strongest on record, while Summer monsoon (ISM) anomalously dry June then very wet by September. We investigated relationships between IOD, Pacific sea surface temperature (SST), and ISM rainfall during with an atmospheric general circulation model forced observed SST anomalies. results show that extremely IOD conducive to a wet...

The Internet of Drones (IoD) is a layered network control architecture, which having revolutionary impact on the monitoring and preservationvof environment. Large-scale drone-assisted environmental can provide better perspective high-quality data by operation critical components smart cities. However, with continuous expansion IoD scale increase multi-drone collaboration tasks, large-scale serv...

The impact of Indo-Pacific climate feedback on the dynamics of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is investigated using an ensemble set of Indian Ocean decoupling experiments (DCPL), utilizing a millennial integration of a coupled climatemodel. It is found that eliminating air–sea interactions over the IndianOcean results in various degrees of ENSO amplification across DCPL simulations, with a...

The Internet of Drones (IoD) has attracted increasing attention in recent years because its portability and automation, is being deployed a wide range fields (e.g., military, rescue entertainment). Nevertheless, as result the inherently open nature radio transmission paths IoD, data collected, generated or handled by drones plagued many security concerns. Since privacy are among foremost challe...
