For various reasons such as ideology of patronage, fear of censorial measures and specific cultural and literary plans, authors may present their original texts as translation, and sometimes translators manipulate the original text to the extent that it can not be considered as translation anymore. This research was aimed at investigating Bastin's adaptation as a kind of pseudo-translation. He ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of biodentine in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and intermediate restorative material (irm), as a root end filling material, using scanning electron microscopy (sem).thirty permanent maxillary central incisors were chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated. three millimetres of the root end were resected and 3mm ret...

Social and cultural differences between the United States and the United Kingdom mean that positive results from US prevention programmes may not translate to the United Kingdom. The Strengthening Families Programme 10-14 (SFP10-14) has been evaluated in a large Phase III randomized controlled trial in rural Iowa in the United States and shown to be effective for delaying alcohol and drug initi...

Despite the extensive investigation on the structure of natural biological materials, insufficient attention has been paid to the structural imperfections by which the mechanical properties of synthetic materials are dominated. In this study, the structure of bivalve Saxidomus purpuratus shell has been systematically characterized quantitatively on multiple length scales from millimeter to sub-...

BACKGROUND Although evaluation of biochemical analytes in blood is common in veterinary practice, studies assessing the global quality of veterinary in-clinic and reference laboratory testing have not been reported. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the quality of biochemical testing in veterinary laboratories using results obtained from analyses of 3 levels of assayed quality con...

Using rich types of media to create and generate lecturing materials or contents will improve the learning interest and effectiveness. When a well-organized and designed multimedia lecturing content has been completed, is it possible to be presented on different types of device? If not, the author will be requested to modify his/her content until suitable for every types of device. In this pape...

Lessons learned, opportunities, and barriers to scaling up health adaptation were identified from evaluation reports and other materials from three multinational health adaptation projects covering 14 low- and middle-income countries and from qualitative data collected through a focus group consultation and interviews with key informants purposively selected for their expertise and role in heal...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the adaptation of Vitremer with and without primer and compare to that of Z100 with Scotchbond Multi-Purpose. METHODS Fifty-seven Class II cavities were prepared in 32 extracted or exfoliated primary molars. The cavities were randomly assigned to one of three groups and restored as follows: group A, Vitremer with primer (20 preps); group B, Vitremer...

A theory of stress fields in two-dimensional granular materials based on directed force chain networks is presented. A general Boltzmann equation for the densities of force chains in different directions is proposed and a complete solution is obtained for a special case in which chains lie along a discrete set of directions. The analysis and results demonstrate the necessity of including nonlin...
