BACKGROUND General dental practitioners and non-orthodontic specialty can play an essential role of education and motivation of their patients about the principles and practice of orthodontic treatment; which can be very beneficial to the patient's lifestyle. It is, therefore, important to identify their level of knowledge and attitude toward orthodontic treatment. This study was planned to stu...

A Satellite Attitude Dynamics Simulator (SADS) has been developed to facilitate the research and development of spacecraft flight attitude control software at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. The simulator provides a real-time 3 degree of freedom (3DOF) synthetic spacecraft hardware-in-the-loop environment, that includes realistic angular motions, sensor-effector delays, and contr...

The elderly who live alone are increasing rapidly in these years. For their mental health, it is reported useful to maintain their social life with others. Our project is aiming to develop a companion agent who can engage long-term relationship with the elderly users. This paper presents our first step to explore the rapport occurred in human-human communication which is considered to be essent...

Currently, the most complex spacecraft attitude determination and control tasks are ultimately governed by ground-based systems and personnel. Conventional on-board systems face severe computational bottlenecks introduced by serial microprocessors operating on inherently parallel problems. New computer architectures based on the anatomy of the human brain seem to promise high speed and fault-to...

INTRODUCTION Stroke is a chronic condition that necessitates multidimensional and overwhelming care. The caregivers of stroke patients are faced with various stressors that can threaten different aspects of their health, especially their mental health. Spiritual attitude and being spiritually oriented contribute significantly to mental health and can be used as a strategy for adapting to the st...

This paper uses the time-series analysis function in CiteSpace software to systematically review planning standards of Chinese industrial parks between 1985 and 2021, then studies framework, content, regions, industry characteristics these standards. The study shows that China’s park have evolved through a series developmental stages, namely from being land-oriented, sector-oriented, and, most ...

The aim of this study was to describe some of the factors that might play a role in influencing attitude to xenotransplantation: first, the consideration of receiving cells and tissue from xenotransplants in relation to whole xeno-organs; secondly, the fact that there is greater uncertainty regarding the result and risk of infection associated with xenotransplantation than with allotransplantat...
