Objective: The ideal time to commence orthodontic treatment is very important. In Iran, due to the widely distributed population and low number and uneven distribution of orthodontists, general dental practitioners (GDPs) play an important role in proper treatment of occlusal and functional disorders and referring orthodontic patients to orthodontists. The purpose of this study was to assess ...

Decarbonisation of heat is essential to meeting net zero carbon targets; however, fluctuating renewable resources, such as wind or solar, may not meet peak periods demand. Therefore, methods underground thermal energy storage can aid in storing low demand be exploited when required. Borehole (BTES) an important technology surplus and the efficiency systems strongly influenced by groundwater flo...

D OGS exposed to 600 to 1200 r of whole-body radiation usually die in 10 to 12 days of marrow failure. Those exposed to 1200 to 2000 r die somewhat sooner, their deaths being accelerated by the fluid and electrolyte loss that accompanies damage to intestinal epithelium. Between 1200 and 2000 r destruction of immunologic defense is sufficient to permit transplantation of foreign marrow. Below 12...

Of the two commercially cultivated coffee (Coffea) species, C. arabica (arabica) is highly susceptible and C. canephora (robusta) is highly resistant to the insect pest Xylotrechus quadripes (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), commonly known as coffee white stem borer (CWSB). We constructed a forward-subtracted cDNA library by Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) from robusta bark tissue for pro...

Presence of overlapping genes (OGs) is a common phenomenon in bacterial genomes. Most frequently, overlapping genes share coding regions with as few as one nucleotide to as many as thousands of nucleotides. Overlapping genes are often co-regulated, transcriptionally and translationally. Overlapping genes are also subject to the whims of evolution, as the gene overlap is known to be disrupted in...

Ix the course of a research undertaken for another purpose I had occasion to compare the actions of several compounds of piperidine, and, as my results differ somewhat from those of other workers in this field, I have thought it wcll to publish them now, as I see no prospect oi prosecuting the subject further. The substances examined were piperidine~ a-methylpiperidine, a-ethylpiperidine~ and c...

Understanding the behaviour of opportunistic pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus in their natural human niche holds great medical interest. With the development of sensitive molecular methods and deep-sequencing technology, it is now possible to robustly assess the global transcriptome of bacterial species in their human habitat. However, as the genomes of the colonizing strains are often n...
