Odontometric analysis using CBCT for sexual dimorphism in Egyptian-Fayoum population in case of normal occlusion

Background. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can provide precise assistance in odontometric measurements and to investigate the existence of sexual dimorphism in population. Aim of this study was to evaluate odontometric linear measurements obtained from CBCT software including mesiodistal, tooth length dimensions and enamel thickness of the mandibular canine and mandibular first molar and arch measurements for sexual dimorphism in Egyptian population sample. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 100 subjects who visited the department of oral and maxillofacial radiology, Fayoum University for dental treatments. The study sample were grouped into two groups, group A (50 males) and group B (50 females) aged between 18-25 years old. CBCT examination was performed for all patients. The teeth which were selected for linear measurements using CBCT in the present study were 100 mandibular permanent canines (Lower 3) and 100 mandibular permanent 1st molar teeth (Lower 6), for each group respectively. The linear measurements were taken on crown width and height, Enamel thickness, arch depth and width. Results: There was a highly significant difference between Male and Female for odontometric measurements of mandibular right and left canines and 1st molars including (CWL3, CLL3, CWL6 at contact level, CWL6 at CEJ level and CLL6) while enamel thickness measurements showed nonsignificant differences between males and females including (ETL3 at cusp tip, ETML6, ETDL6 and ETL6 at mesio-lingual cusp tip). Arch measurements including (ICW, IMW through fossa and IMW through contact) showed high significant differences between males and females. ADD measurements revealed non-significant differences between both sexes, whereas the ADM values in females were larger than males with high significant differences. Conclusion: Odontometric parameters including mandibular canine, mandibular first molar crown width and length, inter-canine width and inter-molar width measurements based on CBCT imaging show highly significant gender difference. Thus, the parameters can be simple and reliable sexual dimorphism for medicolegal purpose and also it should be considered as part of the clinical diagnosis of orthodontic treatment and estimate of orthodontic clinical need in Egyptian population.
Bayesian inference for zero-and/or-one augmented beta rectangular regression models

Abstract. In this paper we developed a full set of Bayesian inference tools, for zero-and/or-one augmented beta rectangular regression models to analyze limited-augmented data, under a new parameterization. This parameterization: facilitates the development of both regression models and inferential tools as well as make simplifies the respective computational implementations. The proposed Bayesian tools were parameter estimation, model fit assessment, model comparison (information criteria), residual analysis and case influence diagnostics, developed through MCMC algorithms. In addition, we adapted available methods of posterior predictive checking, using appropriate discrepancy measures. We conducted several simulation studies, considering some situations of practical interest, aiming to evaluate: prior sensitivity choice, parameter recovery of the proposed model and estimation method, the impact of transforming the observed zeros and ones, along with the use of non-augmented models, and the behavior of the proposed model fit assessment and model comparison tools. A psychometric real data set was analyzed to illustrate the performance of the developed tools, illustrating the advantages of the developed analysis framework.
Improving Convection Trigger Functions in Deep Convective Parameterization Schemes Using Machine Learning

Deficiencies in convection trigger functions, used in deep convection parameterizations in General Circulation Models (GCMs), have critical impacts on climate simulations. A novel convection trigger function is developed using the machine learning (ML) classification model XGBoost. The large‐scale environmental information associated with convective events is obtained from the long‐term constrained variational analysis forcing data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program at its Southern Great Plains (SGP) and Manaus (MAO) sites representing, respectively, continental mid‐latitude and tropical convection. The ML trigger is separately trained and evaluated per site, and jointly trained and evaluated at both sites as a unified trigger. The performance of the ML trigger is compared with four convective trigger functions commonly used in GCMs: dilute convective available potential energy (CAPE), undilute CAPE, dilute dynamic CAPE (dCAPE), and undilute dCAPE. The ML trigger substantially outperforms the four CAPE‐based triggers in terms of the F1 score metric, widely used to estimate the performance of ML methods. The site‐specific ML trigger functions can achieve, respectively, 91% and 93% F1 scores at SGP and MAO. The unified trigger also has a 91% F1 score, with virtually no degradation from the site‐specific training, suggesting the potential of a global ML trigger function. The ML trigger alleviates a GCM deficiency regarding the overprediction of convection occurrence, offering a promising improvement to the simulation of the diurnal cycle of precipitation. Furthermore, to overcome the black box issue of the ML methods, insights derived from the ML model are discussed, which may be leveraged to improve traditional CAPE‐based triggers.
THERMO-ELASTOHYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF PISTON CONNECTING-ROD BIG END JOURNAL BEARING LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The existence of friction could be both detrimental and beneficial. On the one hand, friction prevents slipping on a moving vehicle but on the other hand, friction induces by the engine tends to reduce the power. In an engine, friction can be reduced by introducing an effective lubrication system.Hence, the aim of the present study is to derive a thermoelastohydrodynamic mathematical model to predict lubricant film formation properties along the piston connecting-rod big end journal bearing lubrication system. A thermo elastohydrodynamic mathematical model is implemented by integrating an Energy equation with2-D Reynolds equation to solve the lubricant film formation along the piston connecting-rod big end journal bearing. It is used to deduce the tribological properties of the lubricant, namely contact pressure and film profile. Under isothermal condition with increasing lubricant viscosity, both pressure hydrodynamic and film thickness increase. Similar results are demonstrated when there is an increase in the velocity or applied normal load. Under thermal condition, the viscous heating generated during the engine operation tends to increase the temperature, leading to the reduction of lubricant viscosity and film thickness. The mathematical model is simulated and compared with the literature data obtained. However, the simulated results do not correlate well with the literature data although the mathematical model is capable in predicting film thickness in the similar range. This could be due to the underestimation on the effect of transient squeeze film effect in this model.
A descriptive morphometric approach to the skull in Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) of Egypt

Craniofacial anatomy is essential to understand the locative relationships of organs in specific region of each species. This study was aimed to investigate morphometric parameters of the skull of the Red fox of Egypt. Thirteen skulls of about 2.5-4 years-old male Red fox were carefully processed using standard method. Altogether, 29 different osteometric measurements including 7 different indices were estimated. The average total length and width of the skull in the Red fox were 17.64 ± 2.68 cm and 8.73 ± 1.76 cm, respectively, with cephalic index of 49.27 ± 3.42. The cranial length of the Red fox’s skull was about two-fold of its width, with cranial capacity of 49.54 ± 3.75 cc, as well as cranial and basal indices were 49.87 ± 3.96 and 30.97 ± 2.33, respectively. The foramen magnum width was higher than its height, with foramen magnum index of 71.52 ± 3.86. The cranial length of the Red fox’s skull was higher than the facial length, with facial index of 62.70 ± 4.01. The orbital length was higher than the orbital width, and the interorbital distance was wider caudally and narrower in the middle, with orbital capacity and orbital index of 9.34 ± 0.17 cc and 97.87 ± 5.22, respectively. In conclusion, measured osteometric parameters of the Red fox’s skull will provide baseline anatomy information on the skull morphometry, which is necessary for comparative anatomy and clinical veterinary practice. The findings reported here will assist other clinical studies conducting on the Red fox’s head.
International Distance Nurse Mentoring Program

Professional and personal development has always been important in the field of palliative care nursing. Now as patients are increasingly culturally diverse, the ability to understand and connect across cultures is also vital. In light of this, a homecare hospice in Singapore collaborated with a nurse consultant based in the United States to pilot a 10-month cross-cultural bidirectional, distance mentoring project. The overarching goal was to explore the profession and personal benefits for nurses and to provide further information for similar international efforts. Before starting the 10-month project, the consultant met and accompanied the Singapore nurses on home visits to better understand the setting and needs. Each of the 6 Singapore home hospice teams (5 adult and 1 pediatric) was matched with a US volunteer mentor, who was an experienced home hospice nurse. The goal for each team and their mentor was to connect by video monthly to share helpful resources, discuss cases for mutual benefit, or develop a quality improvement project. Lessons learned will contribute to the field of international mentoring and collaboration.
Protective Effect of the Red Quinoa Seeds versus Oxidative Stress Induced by Alloxan and CCl4 in Experimental Rats

he Red Quinoa seeds (RQ seeds) shows a higher number of total phenolic and flavonoids content. Therefore, the protective effect of the RQ seeds versus oxidative stress induced by Alloxan and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) may treatment in rats. Fifty-six healthy male albino rats were randomly divided into three main groups. The first group of healthy rats (8 rats) was negative control and fed on commercial diet. The second group (24 rats) received CCl4 injections subcutaneously (for two weeks); while, the third group (24 rats) were fasted for 24 hours, injected with one dose prepared Alloxan by intraperitoneal injection to induce oxidative Stress. Then both main 2 groups were divided into 3 subgroups (8rats /each) and treated by different concentrations of RQ seeds as for 6 weeks. The rats were weighed weekly and at the end of the experimental, the animals were fasted overnight, anesthetized; sacrificed and weighted the organs excise” liver, kidney and Pancreas”. Results showed that stress groups (Alloxan and CCl4) were significantly increased risk for oxidative stress. However, the results indicated that a diet fortified at 5g and 10g RQ seeds improves weight gain, increased antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT and GPx), reduces liver enzymes, kidney function, lipid profiles, serum glucose and reduces the risk of organ functions (liver, kidney and pancreas), related to oxidative stress, when compared to stress groups. More specifically, a diet with 10g RQ seeds reduced the adverse effect of oxidative stress.
How Managers and Audit Committee Affect Internal Control Weakness

This paper assesses how the board, CEO, and audit committee's characteristics influence internal control weakness. In order to test the hypotheses, data of listed companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2012-2016 are collected. Panel data analyses indicate that managerial education level and audit committee independence inversely influence internal control weakness. However, there is no significant relationship between managers' or audit committees' other characteristics and internal control weakness.
The first data on the diet and reproduction of Fedorov's lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus fedorovi)

2 Lomonosov Moscow State University GSP-1 Leninskije Gory Moscow 119991, Russia Abstract—A total of 69 specimens of Fedorov’s lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus fedorovi) caught on the continental shelf and slope of Simushir Island in the northwest Pacific Ocean were dissected and studied for stomach contents. The Fedorov’s lumpsucker was found to feed mainly on the young of fish species, including the walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), northern lampfish (Stenobrachius leucopsarus), and northern smoothtongue (Leuroglossus schmidti), crustaceans, such as Themisto pacifica, Primno macropa, calanoids, gammarids, mysids, and caprellids, and squid. Histological analyses of ovaries revealed iteroparity, determinate fecundity, groupsynchronous ovarian development, and total spawning. Testes were of an unrestricted lobular type. Chorion and thick zona radiata of Fedorov’s lumpsucker correspond to the condition of eggs in specimens of other fish species that release demersal eggs. Absolute fecundity values of Fedorov’s lumpsucker in our study were significantly less than those that have been reported for other species of Cyclopteridae. The results of this study provide the first data on this little known species of this family.
THE BOND STRENGTH OF STEEL BAR BASE ON RIB GEOMETRY BAR IN PULLOUT TEST

This experiment's objective is to prove that the reinforcing rib's form contributes to its bond strength. The specimen is the concrete cubes measuring 150 × 150 × 150 mm; bar installed in the center of the concrete cube. Bars use 13, 16, and 19 mm diameters. For comparison, the experiment was also carried out on plain reinforcement diameter with 12 mm, 16 mm, and 19 mm. Concrete compression is fc' 34 MPa. The pullout test was also performed to increase the load in stages at a 200 kg/minute speed. Loading stopped if the reinforcement yielded, split concrete, or slipped bar. The experiment uses ASTM standards ASTM C234-91a. The study results are the bond strength on reinforcement with the surrounding concrete. Bond strength in the plain bar is lower than deformed. The reinforcement of steep rib compared to fishbone bond strength values incline to be the same. The ratio of the bond strength of plain compared to deformed is 15% 18%. The bond index of the steep rib and fishbone rib between 0.11 0.16 so that the bond stress obtained is also relatively the same. The failure pattern that occurs is determined based on the bond stress-slip graph. There are two types of collapse in this experiment, namely pullout and splitting damage. The failure of each specimen based on the diameter and shape of the rib varies greatly. The splitting damage is seen visually only in the specimen of the D19 fishbone rib.

Prevalence and risk factors for urinary incontinence among women with diabetes in Taif city, Saudi Arabia

Background: Urinary incontinence is a detected complication of diabetes mellitus. Studies about UI among diabetic women in Saudi Arabia are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of UI in women with diabetes in Taif city, Saudi Arabia and to determine its risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 398 diabetic women who attended the diabetes clinic at Prince Mansour Military Hospital, Taif city, Saudi Arabia. A checklist was used gathering data about socio-demographic characteristics, type and duration of diabetes, chronic diseases, parity, BMI, presence of neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy, level of HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG). Results: The prevalence of UI was 34%. In the last four weeks, 48.9%, 25.9%, 6,7%, 12.6% and 34.1% of studied women had frequent urination, urine leakage drops, difficulty in urinating or emptying, pain or discomfort in lower abdomen, leakage related to urgency, and leakage related to physical activity, respectively. Among them, 11.1%, 11.9%, 12,6%. 19.3%, 15.6%, 19.3%, and 20.7% suffered effects of UI on the ability to do household chores, physical recreation, entertaining activities, ability to travel in car or bus more than 30 minutes, participation in social activities outside, emotional health, and feeling frustrated, respectively. Participants with an age ≥ 50 year, and having DM type 2, UTI, Ovarian cyst, and neuropathy higher levels of HbA1 and FBG, had a significantly higher percentage of those having UI. Participants’ older age and high HbA1c level were independent predictors for UI. Conclusion: There is a need for educating diabetic women about UI and methods of management.
MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT BACTERIA AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG RE- PRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN WITH SIGNIFICANT BACTERIURIA

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI), an infection that disproportionately affects women, is commonly caused by bacteria. Emergence of multi-drug resistant urinary tract infections is a serious health issue with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria and associated factors among reproductive age women with significant bacteriuria. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted from April to August 2016 on 424 study subjects in Jimma University Specialized Hospital. Data were collected using pre-tested questionnaire. Morning midstream urine samples were collected and processed following standard operating procedures. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done following Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute 2014 guidelines. Samples were tested for cell surface hydrophobicity, biofilm production, extended spectrum beta-lactamases and carbapenemases production. Results: The prevalence of UTI among suspected reproductive age women was 22.9%. E. coli was the most frequent isolate with a rate of 57% among isolated bacteria followed by Klebsiella species (24.7%). Over 90% of the isolates were multi-drug resistant. Resistance pattern for ampicillin was 100% followed by ticarcillin (92.4%) and colistin (86%) while less resistance rate was found for imipenem (13%). Multivariate analysis revealed that risk factors such as previous history of hospitalization, extended spectrum beta-lactamase production and strong biofilm production were significantly associated with multidrug resistance (p <0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) among isolates of UTI in the study was high and this correlates with the prevalence of virulence phenotypes. Gram-negative organisms were the most common causes of UTIs.
