A most common type of early malocclusion that the pediatric dentist comes in contact with daily is the developing Class II Division 2 malocclusion (Fig 1-a,b). It is the malocclusion that the parents of the children we serve bring to our attention. Parental concern is the early crowding that develops in the anterior of the lower arch with risk of periodontal involvement. This malocclusion is re...

Clinical data are reported for 13 patients who were referred with recurrent loss of consciousness at night interrupting their sleep. Most of the patients were women (10 of 13) with a mean age of 45 years (range 21-72 years). The histories were more consistent with vasovagal syncope than with epilepsy. This was supported by electroencephalographic and tilt test results. More polysomnographic mon...

We consider X as a signal which has to be transmitted through a noise channel. Assume also that the exit (Yt)t≥0 of the noisy channel is observable. Three parameters: the time t, the signal X, and the observation Y t 0 might me used for creating of a code A(t,X, Y t 0 ) for X. In other words, at the time t, instead of X, we transmit a new signal A(t,X, Y t 0 ) generated by t, X, and observation...

Abstract Pipeline leakage is a great concern for the transportation industries and researchers have been devoted in detection long time. Machine learning developed recognition recently it can help to achieve detection. However, effect limited by feature complexity noise. As machine method, Random Forest (RF) good at handling with high-dimensional data predicts well even when signal interrupted ...

BACKGROUND User fees have been shown to constitute a major barrier to the utilisation of health-care, particularly in low-income countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Importantly, such barriers can lead to the exclusion of vulnerable individuals from health-care. In 2008, a donor-funded primary health-care programme began implementing user fee subsidisation in 20 health zone...
