Background Cariogram as an effective tool for assessing caries risk, has been demonstrated in many studies. But its application in special children has not been reported. Aim To assess the effectiveness of Cariogram as an oral health educational tool in reducing caries risk of differently-abled subjects. Settings and Design Dental College, Case series. Methods and Material Eight disabled childr...

Microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis is a simple, reproducible, rapid, and effective method, therefore, has attracted considerable interest among scientists in the field of not only iron oxide but also other metal oxides. This method been used for nanoparticles, hematite (α-Fe2O3), goethite (α-FeOOH) strongly alkaline media with iron(III) chloride (FeCl3) as precursor under microwave emiss...

When a function belonging to fractional-order Sobolev space is supported in proper subset of the Lipschitz domain on which defined, how its norm as smaller set compared whole domain? On what do comparison constants depend on? Do different norms behave differently? This article addresses these issues. We prove some inequalities and disprove misconceptions by counter-examples.

Various attempts are being made to better the situation of dental caries in Nepal, nevertheless, the problem of caries among differently abled children still seems to have reached a still. The general objective of this study is to identify the dental caries status by prevalence and severity (DMFT), knowledge and attitude in oral health practices and the oral health needs among differently abled...

Introduction Critical illness is characterized by a dramatic loss of skeletal muscle mass which comprises to about 10% per week. This loss is mostly driven by an increased muscle protein breakdown, whereas synthesis rates are on average not changed [1]. However, this result limits to total muscle protein and does not elucidate whether different proteins behave differently. We have previously sh...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the major quantitative parameters related to the definition of the optimum text size in Modern Greek corpus development. Using the Hellenic National Corpus (HNC) (Hatzigeorgiu et al., 2000) as a reference point we estimated a number of critical statistical measures regarding feature counting in different text sizes. The results indicate that frequent ling...

This paper studies repeated games with public signals, symmetric bounded recall and pure strategies. Examples of equilibria for such games are provided and the convergence of the set of equilibrium payoffs is studied as the size of the recall increases. Convergence to the set of equilibria of the infinitely repeated game does not hold in general but for particular signals and games. The differe...
