A recent treatment option for non-vital immature teeth in young patients is revascularization with triple antibiotic paste (TAP). However, tooth discoloration was reported with the use of conventional minocycline-containing TAP. In this case report, amoxicillin-containing TAP was used for revascularization of non-vital immature teeth to prevent tooth discoloration. At the 1 yr follow up, the te...

To extract structural features from tree-structured documents among nodes in which characteristic words appear, we described a text-mining algorithm for enumerating all frequent consecutive path patterns (CPP) on a list W of words in Uchida et al., PAKDD 2004 [14]. In this paper, we first extend a CPP to a tree pattern, which is called a tree association pattern (TAP), over a set W of words. A ...

—Numerous authors have reported on the importance of the number of firstorder lateral roots (FOLR) when evaluating the morphological quality of nursery hardwood seedlings. Studies have shown that seedlings with a greater quantity of FOLR outperform seedlings with a lesser quantity of FOLR in the field. However, the FOLR measure may be limited in its ability to quantify root system morphology. A...

Understanding the behavior of network forensic devices is important to support prosecutions of malicious conduct on computer networks as well as legal remedies for false accusations of network management negligence. Individuals who seek to establish the credibility of network forensic data must speak competently about how the data was gathered and the potential for data loss. Unfortunately, man...

The phytohormones cytokinin and auxin orchestrate the root meristem development in angiosperms by determining embryonic bipolarity. Ferns, having the most basal euphyllophyte root, form neither bipolar embryos nor permanent embryonic primary roots but rather an adventitious root system. This raises the questions of how auxin and cytokinin govern fern root system architecture and whether this ca...

This study quantitatively explored the dendritic/spine extent of supragranular pyramidal neurons across several cortical areas in two adult male subjects who had undergone a callosotomy several decades before death. In all cortical areas, there were numerous atypical, supragranular pyramidal neurons with elongated "tap root" basilar dendrites. These atypical cells could be associated with an un...

Microbes modify plant root permeability The provides mineral nutrients and water to the plant. Diffusion barriers seal root, preventing loss of internal nutrients. Salas-González et al. found that microbes living on in roots model Arabidopsis thaliana influence diffusion barrier formation, which affects balance (see Perspective by Busch Chory). Plants with modified show altered bacterial commun...
