leiomyoma is a rare benign neoplasm deriving from smooth muscle. vascular leiomyoma is its most common subtype in the oral cavity. it may appear at any age with the greatest incidence in the 4th and 5th decade of life. the common manifestation is a slow-growing, asymptomatic, submucousal mass. the diagnosis is only through microscopic examination requiring special staining. treatment of choice ...

E-services hold the potential to innovate how the public sector operates, and to increase the transparency of public services. Numerous research initiatives have illustrated the innovation power of e-services; with new technology and new solutions to existing problems. Research on this topic also emphasizes that in order for public e-services to reach their full potential, they need to be desig...

Coral reefs are facing a biodiversity crisis due to increasing human impacts, consequently, one third of reef-building corals have an elevated risk of extinction. Logistic challenges prevent broad-scale species-level monitoring of hard corals; hence it has become critical that effective proxy indicators of species richness are established. This study tests how accurately three potential proxy i...

Tooth eruption is an orientating action which migrates teeth coronally during life, even in bone or after occlusion contact is lost. The eruption pathway is due to bone resorption near the enamel crown and bone deposition around the cementum-covered roots. Due to their proximity to bone resorption and deposition, we hypothesize that the hard tissues enamel, dentine or cementum are important dur...

The hard disk industry has traditionally stayed competitive by competing on the means of price alone by cutting down aggressively on cost via increase of areal density. Continuing increases in the areal density of hard disk drives will be limited by thermal instability of the thin film medium and is estimated to be limited to about 500Gb/in2 . Patterned media, in which data are stored in an arr...

Purpose – This article aims to treat contemporary economic development from a regional and European perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The article applies a French prospective (foresight) approach to the issues of employment, decentralization, and privatization as an antidote to the usual discussions of governance and globalization. Findings – The article stresses the need for simple, a...

Many philosophers endorse deterrence justifications of legal punishment. According to these justifications, punishment is justified at least in part because it deters offenses. These justifications rely on empirical assumptions, e.g., that non-punitive enforcement can’t deter or that it can’t deter enough. I’ll challenge these assumptions and argue that extant deterrence justifications of legal...

It was a difficult year for Latin America and the Caribbean. The East Asian economic crisis and the financial rumblings in Russia generated unsettling aftershocks in emerging financial markets. The bottom fell out of prices for key commodities such as oil and metals, and even nature dealt its blow in the form of El Niño. Volatility has hit again. But thanks to a decade of structural reforms, th...
