BACKGROUND AND AIM: Sucking of some types of a pacifier may be a risk factor for mal-development of orofacial structures and malocclusion. This study assessed the prevalence of using of different types of pacifier and bottle nipple among 1-24 months old children in Kerman, Iran.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 300 mothers interviewed at 20 specialized private pediatric offices...

There has been a considerable imbalance between the availability of conventional building materials and their demand in recent past. On other hand, plastic waste is abundantly available disposal Polyethylene Terephthalate Plastics (PET) big challenge, as repeated recycling PET bottles poses potential danger being transformed only small proportion are recycled. In this work an attempt made to ac...

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from December 2004 to May 2005 to determine the most effective kind of trellis for the rice-cum-vegetable production system. The treatments consisted of five crop combinations viz. C0: rice alone i.e. control, C1: rice + bottle gourd, C2: rice + white gourd, C3: rice + ...

People often say that beer tastes better from a bottle than from a can. However, one can ask whether this perceived difference is reliable across consumers; And, if so, whether it is purely a psychological phenomenon (associated with the influence of packaging on taste perception), or whether instead it reflects some more mundane physico-chemical interaction between the packaging material (or p...

After 2 weeks he noticed a foul smelling discharge from the wound and went to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department. He was subsequently referred to our hospital department of plastic surgery.

The behaviour of bottle cells in normal and microsurgically altered gastrulae and in cultured explants of Xenopus laevis was analysed, using time-lapse micrography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cell tracing with fluorescein dextran amine (FDA). The results shed new light on the function of bottle cells. Bottle cells forming in vivo show a predominantly animal-vegetal apical contractio...

INTRODUCTION We hypothesized that patients are poorly informed about proper procedure for 24-hour urine specimen collection and its relevance in determination of biochemical analytes, despite availability of leaflets and webpage with instruction for collection. The aim of this survey was to question outpatients how well are they informed about procedure of 24-hour urine specimen collection. M...

used pet bottles disposal is an unsolved environmental problem, and there are many efforts for finding an applicable solution for it. many researches have showed that the degradation rate of the polymers increase with the smaller size of fibers. this work was carried out to convert used pet bottles into nanofibers by melt-electrospinning method. uncolored, washed and chipped pet bottles and the...

Given that plastic is typically only used once, increasing levels of waste in TPA make it difficult for Indonesia and even the rest world to solve problem trash (final disposal sites). Performing a field investigation literature review comes first. Making blade model distinct from previous one involves using findings survey study. According examination most recent blades, which have angles 30° ...

Determination of potential contaminants elements in food packing films arising from contact with acidic aqueous foods was undertaken by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) in accordance with DIN EN 1186-1. Test sections from plastic films were totally immersed in 3% w/v CH3COOH used as the food simulant. Testing was conducted under three conditions: (1) 10 days at...
