background: malocclusion, as a worldwide issue, can cause a lot of problems for patients. panoramic (pr) and lateral cephalometric (lcr) radiographs are both usually indicated for orthodontic treatments. the aim of this study was to analyze vertical and sagittal parameters of both jaws on prs and to compare them on lcrs. materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 61 samples from all ...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to apply J. Richard Hackman's framework on team effectiveness to academic medical library settings. METHODS The study uses a qualitative, multiple case study design, employing interviews and focus groups to examine team effectiveness in three academic medical libraries. Another site was selected as a pilot to validate the research design, field proced...

a resilient soft liner (rsl) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture's intaglio surface. use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic k-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive rsl is described in the present report. a proce...

In summary, though the notion of "quality of care" has become fashionable, most of the focus has been on initiatives such as the patient's charter, waiting times, quality of the physical environment, patient centredness in outcomes measurement, etc. Nevertheless, at the heart of quality must be the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of interventions. Without ensuring that health technologies ...

this study focused on the effect of teaching collocations on the awareness of two affective dimensions, evaluation and potency dimensions, of deep vocabulary knowledge as well as the general vocabulary knowledge of efl students. sixty intermediate efl female adult learners participated in this study; they were chosen among 90 students through the pet and a general vocabulary knowledge test. the...

‎we obtain the porc formulae for the number of non-associative algebras‎ ‎of dimension 2‎, ‎3 and 4 over the finite field gf$(q)$‎. ‎we also give some‎ ‎asymptotic bounds for the number of algebras of dimension $n$ over gf$(q)$‎.

INTRODUCTION Many hospitals are currently in the process of developing and implementing electronic medical records (EMR) systems. This is a critical time for developing a framework that can measure and allow for comparison the effectiveness of EMR systems across hospitals that have implemented these systems. The motivation for this study comes from the realization that there is limited research...

a set $wsubseteq v(g)$ is called a resolving set for $g$, if for each two distinct vertices $u,vin v(g)$ there exists $win w$ such that $d(u,w)neq d(v,w)$, where $d(x,y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. the minimum cardinality of a resolving set for $g$ is called the metric dimension of $g$, and denoted by $dim(g)$. in this paper, it is proved that in a connected graph $...
