Local anesthesia is administered to control pain, but it may induce fear and anxiety. Root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy; however, when it is performed in an extensive manner, some tissue removal is inevitable. Notably, this removal may be so painful that local anesthesia is required to be administered to the area scheduled for the treatment. Although patients tend to accept roo...

Objectives: Almond (Prunus amygdalus) hull and shell are agricultural by-products that are a source of phenolic compounds.The processing of almond produce shell and hull, accounts for more than 50% by dry weight of the almond fruits. Recently, more studies have focused on the influence of storage conditions and postharvest handling on the nutritional quality of fruits, especially the antioxidan...

The flat-hull ship design is an innovative concept that saves costs and speed-up the fabrication of ship. Even though was hydrodynamically inefficient, some shipowners probably experienced issue with its unusual shape disadvantages where drag greater than conventional ships. This paper aimed to improve a vessel using hull vane bow foil reduce resistance. asymmetric NACA 4412 0012 were used for ...

Markov decision processes (MDPs) are a well established model for planing under uncertainty. In most situations the MDP parameters are estimates from real observations such that their values are not known precisely. Different types of MDPs with uncertain, imprecise or bounded transition rates or probabilities and rewards exist in the literature. Commonly the resulting processes are optimized wi...

The behaviour of many systems is naturally modelled by a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which are parametric. Since decisions are often based on relations over these parameters it is important to know them with sufficient precision to make those decisions safe. This is in principle an adequate field to use interval domains for the parameters, and constraint propagation to obtain ...

barley is a kind of cereal that contains high amounts of β-glucan. β-glucan is a major component of soluble fiber implicated in hypocholesterolemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes and heart attacks. investigations show that hull-less barley has more β-glucan than hulled barley. in this study the physical and chemical properties of hull-less barley (ehds 18), wheat (zarrin) varitiese, barley flour, and ...

AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the short-term clinical and microbiological effect of chlorhexidine varnish when used as an adjuvant to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A split-mouth design was conducted in 11 patients suffering from chronic periodontitis. The control site underwent scaling and root planing, and the exp...
