Disclusion time reduction (DTR) is an objective treatment protocol using T-Scan III (digital analysis of occlusion) and electromyography for treating occlusally activated orofacial pains. Chronic occluso-muscle disorder is a myogenous subset of temporomandibular disorder symptoms. These muscular symptoms are induced within hyperactive masticatory muscles due to prolonged disclusion time, occlus...

The foreseen development of large-scale Offshore Windfarms (OWFs) further from the shore dictates that OWF transmission system must be optimally designed based on Dynamic Thermal Rating (DTR) in order to fully utilize intermittent nature wind and keep offshore cost-competitive. In this paper, a comprehensive, DTR-based, two-stage stochastic model is presented, which has been developed for inves...

The Commission on Dietetic Registration and its Dietetics Practice Audit Committee recently eported the results of the 2010 Ditetics Practice Audit, which was unertaken primarily to refine and valdate the examinations for the egistered dietitian (RD) and dietetic echnician, registered (DTR) credenials (1). The Committee had secondary bjectives in two areas: investigating ssociations between edu...

The Scope of Practice for the Dietetic Technician, Registered provides standards and tools to guide competence in performing nutrition and dietetics practice. Composed of statutory and individual components, the DTR's scope of practice is determined by state statute and the DTR's education, training, credentialing, and demonstrated and documented competence in practice. The Scope of Practice fo...

Abstract Using the daily 2 m maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum (Tmin) and cloud cover data measured at ground sites of China Meteorological Administration in North from 2000 to 2017, this study investigates influence clouds on range (DTR) defined as difference between Tmax Tmin. As expected, shows similar averaged spatial distribution monthly variation with Surprisingly, it also average Tmax,...

BACKGROUND Mice lacking Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells develop severe tissue inflammation in lung, skin, and liver with premature death, whereas the intestine remains uninflamed. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of Foxp3+ Treg for the activation of T cells and the development of intestinal inflammation. METHODS Foxp3-GFP-DTR (human diphtheria toxin receptor) C57BL/6 mice allow ...

Ontology alignment has become an important process for identifying similarities and differences between ontologies, to facilitate their integration reuse. To this end, fuzzy string-matching algorithms have been developed strings similarity detection used in ontology alignment. However, a significant limitation of existing is reliance on lexical/syntactic contents only, which do not capture sema...

Climate change-related changes in temperature and precipitation trends must be investigated at local, regional global levels. Temperature two selected regions having tropical wet montane climates (i.e., Colombo Nuwara Eliya respectively) Sri Lanka were studied for a 30 year period from 1989 to 2019, evaluate the temporal dynamics of climate change. Precipitation analyzed on annual, monthly, sea...
