Clinical impact of dental enamel and mechanism of formation: Review[ ]


In this review, we will describe how dental enamel forms and discuss how dental practice is affected by the nature of dental enamel and the mechanism of its genesis. We performed an electronic search through Medline, and Embase databases (up to December 2017) for publications, we limited our search to English language Articles, and to every study discussing dental enamel and mechanism of formation. The formation of tooth enamel takes place before the tooth erupts in a constrained extracellular atmosphere in between dentin and ameloblast cells (enamel-making cells). A series of physiological and chemical occasions consisting of gene expression, protein secretion, protein folding and assembly, mineral development, and protein degradation are associated with making enamel. Since mature enamel post-tooth eruption does not consist of cells and does not remodel, synthetic enamel is necessary for enamel regeneration. Understanding the genetic and molecular events that manage the formation of enamel will cause improvements in the prevention, medical diagnosis, and therapy of heritable and acquired diseases of enamel, consisting of caries, in addition to insights that allow the engineering of replacement enamels for therapeutic treatments.

Normalization of Accident Prediction Parameters at Unsignalized Intersections Using Skewness and Kurtotic Approach[ ]


Accident prediction parameters are parameters considered to be the independent variables in the development of an accident prediction model. These prediction parameters are discrete in nature since they cannot assume continuity owing to the fact that they must assume a whole value. For this reason some mathematical models such as Poisson Regression, Negative Binomial Regression, Zero Inflated Regression etc. have been developed specifically these data. It is our bid to use multiple linear regression method for the development of the accident prediction model but the condition of normal distribution must be satisfied. The statistical normality tool employed for normalization of the accident prediction parameters was the skewness and kurtotic approach and further checking the Z-Value which have a satisfying conditional range of ±1.96. The Z-Value is computed using the skewness and kurtotic and standard deviation values. The SPSS software was used in computing the skewness, kurtotic and standard deviation values. The result obtained from the analysis shows that the accident prediction parameters from the five selected unsignalized intersection were normally distributed and hence the multiple linear regression method can be adopted in the development of the mathematical model.

Synthesis and Surface Modification of Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes as Electrode for Supercapacitor[ ]


This work was an attempt to synthesize multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and chemically modify their surface wettability to enhance their energy storing capability. The as-grown sample was subjected to simple alkali/acid treatments, which results in the attachment of amide and carboxylic functional groups and the electrochemical analysis of the resulting electrode reveals about 290% pseudocapacitance contribution to the electrochemical double layer (EDL) capacitance in aqueous H2SO4 electrolyte. Highest specific capacitance of 86 F/g was recorded in aqueous KOH due to double layer capacitance only. Cyclic voltammograms of the sample reveals stable pseudocapacitive and S-shaped rectangular curves and the resulting charge/discharge profiles shows straight triangular lines. These outcomes may suggest possible application of these materials as potential electrode for both pseudocapacitor and electrochemical double layer capacitor (EDLC).

Hint of Predictions of Leptonic δCP phase from Octant Degeneracy at LBNEs[ ]


In this work, we discuss how the effect of CP violation discovery potential can be improved at long baseline neutrino experiments (LBNE/DUNE), by combining with its ND (near detector) and reactor experiments. study can be further analysed to resolve entanglement of the quadrant of leptonic CPV phase and Octant of atmospheric mixing angle Θ23, at LBNEs. The study is done for both NH (Normal hierarchy) and IH (Inverted hierarchy), HO (Higher Octant) and LO (Lower Octant). We show how leptogenesis can enhance the effect of resolving this entanglement, and how possible values of the leptonic CPV phase can be predicted in this context. Carrying out numerical analysis based on the recent updated experimental results for neutrino mixing angles, we predict the values of the leptonic CPV phase for 152 possible cases. We also confront our predictions of the leptonic CPV phase with the updated global fit and find that five values of δCP are favoured by BAU constraints. One of the five values matches with the recent global fit value of δCP (leptonic CPV phase) close to 1.41Ï€ in our model independent scenario. A detailed analytic and numerical study of baryogenesis through leptogenesis is performed in this framework in a model independent way..

EEZC: Energy Efficient Zone based Clustering protocol for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks[ ]


Wireless sensors networks (WSNs) are composed of a number of sensor nodes which are limited energy resources. Therefore, the major challenge for WSNs is how to minimize the energy consumption and prolong the network lifetime. Hence, the selection of the adequate Cluster Head (CH) is essential. In this paper, we propose a new protocol that divides the network area to zones, assigns the different types of nodes to each zone. Then our proposed protocol selects CHs basing on the residual energy of the nodes and without penalizing nodes that have the highest energy level. Our simulation results are compared with some famous and recent protocols like Stable Election protocol (SEP), Zone-based stable election protocol-enhanced (Z-SEP-E) and other recent protocols. This comparison has demonstrated that our proposed protocol outperforms these protocols in term of increasing the stability period, saving the energy and prolonging the lifetime of network.

Design and Development of an Infrared Remote-Controlled Queue Management System[ ]


Queue management system helps service providers to manage customers in an efficient way. In this paper, design and development of an infrared (IR) remote controlled queue management system has been described. Use of IR remote makes the system more efficient and prevent cluttering of wires for large systems. This developed system supports the NEC protocol based infrared remotes. The circuit for the system has been designed based on the microcontroller ATmega328p. Three 7-segment displays have been used to show the output. One 7-segment display shows the counter number and two others show the serial number of the customer to be served. As the number of I/O pins of ATmega328p is limited, only 4 pins have been used for interfacing 7-segment displays using time division multiplexing. To store the data for three 7-segment displays three 4-bit registers have been used. The outputs of these registers have been decoded by BCD to 7-segment decoder IC and fed to the display units. A program has been developed using C programming language that provides the intelligence of the system. The performance of the system has been studied and it is found that the system works properly without any interruption of noise. The coverage range of the IR remote has been measured and it has been found that it works properly from a distance of 7 meters.

Early diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus in primary care by family doctors[ ]


The goal of this article is to describe effective evidence-based diagnosis and clinical presentation of SLE with a focus on the role of the primary care physician. We searched for articles published up to end of 2017 in the following five electronic databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus, for both English and non-English language articles with the following keywords: "systemic lupus erythematosus", "diagnosis", "management", "primary care", "family medicine. SLE is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder that most often influences females of childbearing age, specifically African Americans. A medical diagnosis is made by verifying the existence of at least 4 of 11 criteria suggested by the ACR. A normal patient may have arthritis, a malar or discoid rash, and might test positive for ANA and anti-Smith or anti-dsDNA antibodies. One of the most common complication of vital organ participation is nephritis. Virtually all patients need to take HCQ and most will certainly need corticosteroids. The dosage of the last should be kept as low as feasible. Immunosuppressive medications are regularly given too, especially for vital body organ illness. With better management, patients with lupus are living longer yet are at increased risk of disease and treatment-related complications, including infection, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. These issues ought to be monitored and managed in the primary care setting.

Overview of diagnosis and management of Intestinal Lymphoid Nodular Hyperplasia[ ]


Diffuse nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder which can be seen in immunodeficient, as well as immunocompetent individuals. In this review we discuss background to better understand disease, we emphasize diagnostic and management methods. This electronic search was performed through different databases such Midline, and Embase and the date last searched was November 2017. Results were screened manually to identify relevant publications based on title and/or abstract. Publications that did not focus on the management of Intestinal Lymphoid Nodular Hyperplasia. NLH is a rare problem in grownups that has numerous clinical manifestations. Its etiology has been connected to immune system problems. Although there are couple of reported cases connected with IBD, this could represent over-regulation by response mechanisms of lymphoid tissue connected with the gastrointestinal system. Because of its endoscopic appearance, differential diagnosis needs histopathology. It could present with varying signs and symptoms, the majority of frequently reported being abdominal pain and diarrhea. In symptomatic patients, workup should be directed in the direction of underlying hypogammaglulinemia, infections and possible malignancy. Eradication of infection can lead to resolution of symptoms. In the absence of CVID it is hardly ever seen in association with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Effect of Dissipation on Non-Darcy convective Heat transfer in a Vertical Channel with Oscillatory Temperature[ ]


Flow through porous medium is very prevalent in nature and therefore the study of flow through porous medium has become of principal interesting in many scientific and engineering applications. In the theory of flow through a porous medium, the role of momentum equation or force balance is occupied by the numerous experimental observations summarized mathematically as the Darcy’s law. It is observed that the Darcy’s law is applicable as long as the Reynolds number based on average grain (pore) diameter does not exceed a value between 1 and 10
