An ideal / in a commutative noetherian ring R is a Gorenstein ideal of grade g if pdR(R/I) = grade I = g and the canonical module HxtsR(R/I, R) is cyclic. Serre showed that if g = 2 then / is a complete intersection, and Buchsbaum and Eisenbud proved a structure theorem for the case g = 3. We present generic resolutions for a class of Gorenstein ideals of grade 4, and we illustrate the structur...

Despite increasing evidence that subchondral bone contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis, little is known about local changes in bone structure compared to cartilage degeneration. This study linked structural adaptation of subchondral bone with histological OA grade. Twenty-five osteochondral samples of macroscopically different degeneration were prepared from tibiae of 14 patients. Sa...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Rigglus educational model on the level of attention and working memory capacity of students with attention deficit disorder. Methodology: This research is an applied goal in terms of purpose and a quasi-experimental data collection that used a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of t...

This paper presents a critique of several selected studies in the areas of officer retention and grade structure. These studies are investigated to determine what methods of approach and analytic techniques were employed in accomplishing the objectives of the study group. An assessment is made of the degree of success or failure realized by each study. In discussing officer grade structure stud...

BACKGROUND Failure to maintain a patent airway can result in brain damage or death. In patients with mandibular prognathism or retrognathism, intubation is generally thought to be difficult. We determined the degree of difficulty of airway management in patients with mandibular deformity using anatomic criteria to define and grade difficulty of endotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy. ...

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the 10 most common malignant tumors and SCC accounts 94% of all oral malignancies. Mast cells are regarded as complex and multifunctional cells, playing a significant role in immunopathology . The aim of this study is to evaluate the number of mast cells in tissue sections of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in comparison with norma...
