OBJECTIVE: To explore various factors affecting academic success & failure among public sector dental students. METHODS: This mixed-methods study with explanatory sequential approach was completed in May 2021 at Bolan Medical College, Quetta, Pakistan. After taking informed written consent, qualitative quantitative questionnaires were distributed 3rd year Quantitive data analyzed through SP...

The standard bounce formalism for calculating the decay rate of a metastable vacuum cannot be applied to theories in which the symmetry breaking is due to radiative corrections, because in such theories the tree-level action has no bounce solutions. In this paper I derive a modified formalism to deal with such cases. As in the usual case, the bubble nucleation rate may be written in the form Ae...

The surface sterilized grains of Triticum aestivum (L.) cv. HD2204 were soaked in graded concentration (10–10, 10–8 or 10–6) of 28-homobrassinolide (HBR), for 8 h. These pre-treated grains were transferred to sterilized petriplates, lined with filter paper moistened with double distilled water in a B.O.D. incubator, fixed at 25°C. The samples were removed 12, 18 and 24 h of their initial soakin...

In this section we give various parameters for common detector components. The quoted numbers are usually based on typical devices, and should be regarded only as rough approximations for new designs. More detailed discussions of detectors and their underlying physics can be found in books by Ferbel [1], Grupen [2], Kleinknecht [3], Knoll [4], and Green [5]. In Table 28.1 are given typical reso...

in modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (vpt) has been considered an ultra-conservative treatment modality. based on the level of pulp preservation, vpt includes stepwise excavation, indirect pulp capping (idpc), direct pulp capping (dpc), miniature pulpotomy (mp), partial/cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (cp). the present article reviews the treatment outcomes of 94 permanent te...

The electric quadrupole moment of 49Sc was measured by collinear laser spectroscopy at CERN-ISOLDE to be Qs=?0.159(8) eb, and a nearly tenfold improvement in precision reached for the electromagnetic moments 47,49Sc. single-particle behavior nucleon-nucleon correlations are investigated with Z=21 isotopes N=28 isotones as valence neutrons protons fill distinctive 0f7/2 orbit, respectively, loca...
