OBJECTIVES To test the applicability of the Tanaka and Johnston prediction method in a Saudi population. METHODS The current study was conducted at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from September 2013 to January 2014, on a sample of 409 pairs of orthodontic study models. The mesiodistal width of the mandibular permanent incisors, permanent canines, and perm...

OBJECTIVE To validate Tanaka and Kawasaki's formulas to calculate the salt intake by the sodium/creatinine ratio in spot of urine. METHODS Two hundred and seventy two adults (20 - 69 years old; 52.6% women) with 24 h urine collection and two urinary spots collected on the same day (while fasting - spot 1 - or not fasting - spot 2). Anthropometry, blood pressure and fasting blood were measured...

AIMS To evaluate the reliability of Tanaka and Johnston and Moyer's (75th percentile) mixed dentition prediction methods in Kodava population sample, to formulate regression equations for predicting the mesiodistal widths of unerupted canines and premolars and to construct probability tables for the Kodava population. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Data was obtained from Kodava subjects visiting the cli...

In this paper we examine the phase behavior of the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) potential with βε = 40. Crystal nucleation in this model system was recently studied by Kawasaki and Tanaka [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107, 14036 (2010)], who argued that the computed nucleation rates agree well with experiment, a finding that contradicted earlier simulation results. Here we report an extensive...

We study a variant of the ferromagnetic Potts model, recently introduced by Tamura, Tanaka and Kawashima, consisting of a ferromagnetic interaction among q “visible” colours along with the presence of r non-interacting “invisible” colours. We introduce a random-cluster representation for the model, for which we prove the existence of a first-order transition for any q > 0, as long as r is large...

The aim of this paper is to present an algorithm to induce the Temporal Fuzzy Chains (TFCs) (J. Moreno, 2002b). TFCs are used to model the dynamic systems in a linguistic manner. TFCs make use of two different concepts: the traditional method to represent the dynamic systems named state vectors (Ogata, 1998), and the linguistic variables (Zadeh, 1975) used in fuzzy logic (Tanaka, 1998). Thus, T...

OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated the reliability and concurrent validity of the new Tanaka B Intelligence Scale, which is an intelligence test that can be administered on groups within a short period of time. METHODS The new Tanaka B Intelligence Scale and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition were administered to 81 subjects (mean age ± SD 15.2 ± 0.7 years) residing in ...

Purpose. Although maximal heart rate (HRmax) is used widely to assess exercise intensity in training, there are limited data with regards to the validity of age-based prediction equations of HRmax in volleyball players. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the measured-HRmax of two prediction equations (Fox-HRmax = 220 − age and Tanaka-HRmax = 208 − 0.7 × age) in young female ...
