background evaluation of the craniofacial bones is the oldest method to measure the facial proportion ratio in orthodontics. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emboss enhancement on the reliability of landmark identification in digital lateral cephalometric images. materials and methods ten digital lateral cephalograms were selected from the archive of an oral an...

We present a study on magnetotransport in films of the topological Dirac semimetal Cd$_{3}$As$_{2}$ doped with Sb grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In our weak antilocalization analysis, we find significant enhancement spin-orbit scattering rate, indicating that doping leads to strong increase pristine band-inversion energy. discuss possible origins this large comparing Sb-doped other compound s...

Flavonoids and phenolic acids play roles in grapevine defence against pathogens causing trunk diseases (GTDs). Rutin is a major flavonoid vegetative organs of the grapevines, this compound, unlike other flavonoids, non-toxic non-oxidizable. was assayed vitro vivo two Botryosphaeriaceae taxa. The limited bioavailability compound circumvented by conjugation with stevioside, glycoside obtained fro...

Reaction of AgPF(6) with the asymmetric ligand 1,6-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-(3,4'-bipyridine)-5-carbonitrile (1), afforded a significant silver coordination polymer {[Ag(2)(1)(3)](2).(CH(3)OH)(3).(PF(6))(4)}(n) (2) with unique 1D twofold interpenetrating metal-organic frameworks constructed by 1D triple helical chains with nanosized cages hosting counterions as guests. This compound exhibits high...

Simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the structural conversions in the so-called sub-main-transition of fully hydrated multilamellar vesicles of distearoyl phosphatidylcholine (DSPC). The small-angle diffraction patterns show a modification in the supramolecular structure of the corrugated lipid bilayer and reveal that the sub-main-transition does not abo...

| Spectral modeling is an essential component in many signal processing applications, such as speech enhancement and sound monitoring. This paper will demonstrate its use in the separation of acoustic sources from a compound signal that is registered by one sensor. Our technique distinguishes itself from the popular blind source separation procedure by its much higher noise insensitivity and it...

We examined amino acid requirements for the growth of the halotolerant Brevibacterium sp. JCM 6894 in the absence and presence of 1.2 M NaCl in a chemically defined medium. The experiment was also carried out in the presence of 1.2 M KCl. As a result, growth was highly enhanced by methionine in the absence and presence of KCl as well as NaCl up to 1.2 M. However, growth in the presence of 150 m...

We present a novel global E7(7) symmetry in five-dimensional maximal supergravity as well as an E8(8) symmetry in d=4. These symmetry groups which are known to be present after reduction to d=4 and d=3, respectively, appear as conformal extensions of the respective well-known hidden-symmetry groups. A global scaling symmetry of the Lagrangian is the key to enhancement of E6(6) to E7(7) in d=5 a...
