1031 Across the United States, the role of the dental hygienist is evolving. As a result, the dental hygiene curriculum must expand from a traditional private practice focus to include other career pathways, such as providing direct access oral health care in alternative settings, practicing in interprofessional health care environments, being an educator, engaging in research, participating in...

in order to investigate the role of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) on fracture mechanism of epoxy nanocomposites, a series of tensile standard specimens reinforced with different carbon nanotube contents (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt%) were produced. the fracture surfaces of the produced nanocomposites were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (sem). the results show that the surface frac...

mirror movement is an interesting but often overlooked neurological soft sign;these movements are described as simultaneous contralateral, involuntary, identical movements that accompany voluntary movements. this neurologic problem is very rarely seen in children; in familial cases there is a positive history of these movements in parents, diminishing with time. here, we have presented the case...

Background: Oral health is a mirror of general health. During pregnancy, oral affected by changes in saliva and hygiene measures which may lead to more dental caries. Objective: Assess status relation salivary antimicrobial peptides pregnant women. Subjects Method: This cross sectional study was carried out different primary care centers Rusafa sectors/ Baghdad city. The total sample included 8...

Recently proposed low scale quantum gravity scenario is expected to have a significant impact on the Mirror World hypothesis. Some aspects of this influence is investigated here, assuming that the fundamental gravity scale is near a TeV. It is shown that future colliders will be capable to produce the mirror matter, but an experimental signature, which will distinguish such events from the back...

A new class of visuomotor neuron has been recently discovered in the monkey's premotor cortex: mirror neurons. These neurons respond both when a particular action is performed by the recorded monkey and when the same action, performed by another individual, is observed. Mirror neurons appear to form a cortical system matching observation and execution of goal-related motor actions. Experimental...

Low-voltage cascode current mirrors are reviewed with respect to the design limitations imposed if all transistors in the mirror are required to operate in the saturation region. It is found that both a lower limit and an upper limit exist for the cascode transistor bias voltage. Further, the use of a signal dependent cascode bias voltage is discussed and a selfbiased cascode configuration is p...

Mirror neurons and canonical neurons are two classes of visuomotor neurons that are activated by different visual stimuli (Rizzolatti and Kalaska, 2012). Mirror neurons respond to a biological effector interacting with an object (Gallese et al., 1996), suggesting their role in action recognition, while canonical neurons respond to the presentation of a graspable object (Murata et al., 1997), an...

This paper discusses the relevance of the discovery of mirror neurons in monkeys and of the mirror neuron system in humans to a neuroscientific account of primates' social cognition and its evolution. It is proposed that mirror neurons and the functional mechanism they underpin, embodied simulation, can ground within a unitary neurophysiological explanatory framework important aspects of human ...
