Our purpose was to compare admissions criteria as predictors of dental school performance in underachieving and normally tracking dental students. Underachieving dental students were identified by selecting ten students with the lowest class grade point average following the first year of dental school from five classes, resulting in a pool of fifty students. Normally tracking students served a...

The NIST Noise Project has developed the theoretical formalism and experimental methods for performing accurate noise-temperature measurements on a wafer. This report summarizes the theoretical formulation and describes the design, methods, and results of tests performed to verify our ability to measure on-wafer noise temperature. Several different configurations with known off-wafer noise sour...

conclusions in the first one hour, diclofenac suppository is able to control the fever more efficient than paracetamol suppositories. results the average rectal temperature in the paracetamol group was 39.6 ± 1.13°c, and 39.82 ± 1.07°c in the diclofenac group (p = 0.37). the average rectal temperature, one hour after the intervention, in the paracetamol and the diclofenac group was 38.39 ± 0.89...

conclusions the present study was the first research, in which rectum temperature was compared with that of skin over carotid artery, to find a safe location with easier access and higher accuracy for estimating near core body temperature. results obtained in this study showed that, using a model, it is possible to evaluate near core body temperature in children, by measuring skin temperature o...

The article proposes an approach to forecasting mean temperature and total precipitation for the upcoming month, based on study of regularities influence statistical characteristics previous periods them. Among predictors, along with basic characteristics, we use fractality index which is indicator randomness/ determinism climate series. Within framework this approach, have developed models dif...
