Association between Dental Erosion and Diet in Brazilian Adolescents Aged from 15 to 19: A Population-Based Study

Dental erosion is a pathological condition resulting from the irreversible dissolution of the mineralized portion of the teeth, being recognized in modern society as an important cause of loss of tooth structure. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and its association with diet in Brazilian adolescents of Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. A population-based study was conducted on a stratified sample of 675 adolescents aged from 15 to 19 of both sexes using the index proposed by O'Sullivan. Dental examinations were performed by two calibrated dentists (kappa = 0.82). The significance level adopted was 5%. The prevalence of dental erosion was 21%, and the upper central incisors and lateral incisors were the most affected elements, with 50.5% and 40.2%, respectively. The buccal surface showed greater impairment (51.4%) and 67.8% of teeth with dental erosion had more than half of the surface of affected area. Most damage was on the enamel (93.5%). There were no statistically significant differences between the occurrence of dental erosion and gender, age, socioeconomic status, self-reported ethnicity, and diet. There was high prevalence of dental erosion in its early stages among adolescents and there were no significant differences in the frequency of the consumption of foods and beverages and the presence of dental erosion.
Dietary Protein Sources and Incidence of Breast Cancer: A Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies

Protein is important to the human body, and different sources of protein may have different effects on the risk of breast cancer. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between different dietary protein sources and breast cancer risk. PubMed and several databases were searched until December 2015. Relevant articles were retrieved according to specific searching criteria. Forty-six prospective studies were included. The summary relative risk (RR) for highest versus lowest intake was 1.07 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.14, I2 = 34.6%) for processed meat, 0.92 (95% CI 0.84–1.00, I2 = 0%) for soy food, 0.93 (95% CI 0.85–1.00, I2 = 40.1%) for skim milk, and 0.90 (95% CI 0.82–1.00, I2 = 0%) for yogurt. Similar conclusions were obtained in dose-response association for each serving increase: total red meat (RR: 1.07; 95% CI 1.01–1.14, I2 = 7.1%), fresh red meat (RR: 1.13; 95% CI 1.01–1.26, I2 = 56.4%), processed meat (RR: 1.09; 95% CI 1.02–1.17, I2 = 11.8%), soy food (RR: 0.91; 95% CI 0.84–1.00, I2 = 0%), and skim milk (RR: 0.96; 95% CI 0.92–1.00, I2 = 11.9%). There was a null association between poultry, fish, egg, nuts, total milk, and whole milk intake and breast cancer risk. Higher total red meat, fresh red meat, and processed meat intake may be risk factors for breast cancer, whereas higher soy food and skim milk intake may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Rhythmic auditory stimulation using a portable smart device: short-term effects on gait in chronic hemiplegic stroke patients

[Purpose] The effects of various rhythmic auditory stimulation tempos on stroke gait pattern changes when training patients with a smartphone-based rhythmic auditory stimulation application were investigated. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen patients with chronic stroke were included. Cadence during comfortable walking was measured (baseline). After the baseline findings were recorded, rhythmic auditory stimulation with five different tempos (i.e., −10%, −5%, 0%, +5%, and +10% change from baseline) was randomly applied. Finally, comfortable walking without rhythmic auditory stimulation was initiated to evaluate gait pattern changes. [Results] As the tempo increased, the spatiotemporal gait parameters of the stroke patients changed significantly. Gait speed, cadence, and gait cycle duration showed the greatest improvement in the +10% rhythmic auditory stimulation condition compared to baseline. After gait training with rhythmic auditory stimulation, gait speed, cadence, stride length, gait cycle duration, and step length of the affected and unaffected sides improved significantly compared to baseline. [Conclusion] Significant changes in the gait pattern of stroke patients were noted for various tempos after training with rhythmic auditory stimulation. These findings could be used to customize rehabilitative gait training for patients who experience stroke with hemiplegia.
Centre de Referència en Economia Analítica Barcelona Economics Working Paper Series Working Paper n o 176 Optimal Targets in Small and Large Networks Using Game Theory

We define a model of peer effects where the intra-group externality is rooted on the network of bilateral influences in the population, rather than consisting on an average effect. Using game theory, we then map the geometric intricacies of this network structure to the distribution of equilibrium outcomes. Nash equilibrium turns out to be well-described by Bonacich network centrality, used in sociology. We then exploit the network variance of peer effects to identify optimal network targets, key groups. Key groups correspond to the highest inter-central groups, a new network measure that subsumes collective optimality concerns. Although intended for small networks, the key group policy coupled with a more standard geometric attack turns out to be optimal for large scale free networks when 2.33 < β < 3. We then apply our model to terrorist networks, and identify the Achille’s heel of the 11S cell. (This version: May, 30
Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in human lung tissue

The majority of cases of community-acquired pneumonia are caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and most studies on pneumococcal host interaction are based on cell culture or animal experiments. Thus, little is known about infections in human lung tissue. Cyclooxygenase-2 and its metabolites play an important regulatory role in lung inflammation. Therefore, we established a pneumococcal infection model on human lung tissue demonstrating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent induction of cyclooxygenase-2 and its related metabolites. In addition to alveolar macrophages and the vascular endothelium, cyclooxygenase-2 was upregulated in alveolar type II but not type I epithelial cells, which was confirmed in lungs of patients suffering from acute pneumonia. Moreover, we demonstrated the expression profile of all four E prostanoid receptors at the mRNA level and showed functionality of the E prostanoid4 receptor by cyclic adenosine monophosphate production. Additionally, in comparison to previous studies, cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2 related pro- and anti-inflammatory mediator regulation was partly confirmed in human lung tissue after pneumococcal infection. Overall, cell type-specific and MAPK-dependent cyclooxygenase-2 expression and prostaglandin E2 formation in human lung tissue may play an important role in the early phase of pneumococcal infections.
LATGALE INHABITANTS’ SATISFACTION WITH THE STATE IN CONTEXT OF THEIR FEELING OF HAPPINESS

The aim of this scientific research article is to describe the satisfaction with state of Latgale inhabitants’, as well as illustrate how this factor interacts with their feeling of happiness . A number of studies confirmed the link between happiness and the socio-economic conditions in the state. The low standard of living of Latgale’s inhabitants resulted in a fast decline of the number of inhabitants in the region. The unemployment rate in Latgale is the largest rate of unemployment in Latvia. Because of this problem of satisfaction with the state is very topical in this region. The theoretical interpretation of the happiness phenomenon is based on the findings of positive psychology, according to which happiness is defined as a life satisfaction and positive evaluation of his life and positive emotions over negative emotions. The author developed methodology „ Family, Job, State” and "Oxford happiness questionnaire" adapted by the author to Latvian culture and socio-demographic survey, were used in the research paper. It was found out that Latgale inhabitants are not satisfied with the state socio-economic situation, state influence on personality, also the emotional attitude towards the state is at a low level
Upscaling of Helmholtz Equation Originating in Transmission through Metallic Gratings in Metamaterials

We investigate the transmission properties of a metallic layer with narrow slits. We consider (time-harmonic) Maxwell's equations in the H-parallel case with a fixed incident wavelength. We denote η > 0 as the typical size of the complex structure and obtain the effective equations by letting η → 0. For metallic permittivities with negative real part, plasmonic waves can be excited on the surfaces of the slits. For the waves to be in resonance with the height of the metallic layer, the corresponding results can be perfect transmission through the layer.

CFO and channel estimation schemes for multi-user massive MIMO systems in high mobility environment

In high mobility environment, the carrier frequency offset (CFO) introduced by Doppler shifts can severely degrade the system performance. On the other hand, orthogonal pilot sequence which is utilized in conventional frame structure for CFO and channel estimation induces large pilot resource consumption as the number of users increases, resulting in low achievable throughput. In this paper, we propose CFO and the uplink channel estimation scheme with semi-orthogonal pilot sequence to improve achievable throughput in multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Frame structure with semi-orthogonal pilot sequence is implemented with simultaneous data and pilot sequence. In our proposed scheme, we employ successive interference cancellation (SIC) to distinguish between data and pilot sequence. We demonstrate from simulation results that our proposed estimation scheme can enhance the achievable throughput compared to the conventional one in high mobility situations.
Dreaming : a neuroimaging view

Our neurobiological knowledge about human dream organisation results primarily from the study of Rapid-Eye-Movement (REM) sleep. In humans, functional neuroimaging techniques,using H215O or 18FDG positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), allowed the mapping of the regional cerebral activity during this sleep stage, which is dominated by the activation of the pons, the thalamus, temporo-occipital and limbic/paralimbic areas (including the amygdala, the hippocampal formation and the anterior cingulate cortex), along with a relative quiescence of dorsolateral prefrontal and inferior parietal cortices. These results are in agreement with animal neurophysiological data about REM-sleep generation. They may also explain several hallmarks of dreaming experience that are found in dream reports after awakening from REM sleep.For instance,amygdala activation is consistent with the predominance of threatrelated emotions. Temporo-occipital activation is in keeping with visual dream imagery. Prefrontal deactivation is suggestive of the lack of orientational stability, the alteration in time perception, the delusional belief of being awake, the decrease in volitional control and the fragmented episodic memory recall. Inferior parietal deactivation may contribute to the lack of distinction between firstand third-person perspectives. Conversely, specific cognitive and emotional features in individual dreams could be used to predict some aspects of the regional functional organisation of the human brain during dreams, and also inspire the design of future dedicated neuroimaging studies by offering constraints to the analysis and interpretation of sleep data acquired just before dream reports. Therefore, we suggest that future functional brain imaging in humans should be combined with a careful neuropsychological analysis of dream reports, and especially their categorisation based on the presence of specific bizarre features, to test hypotheses about the brain correlates of dreams. As little is known about the physiology of nonREM sleep dreaming, future neuroimaging studies should also attempt to link dreaming experiences during this sleep stage with patterns of regional cerebral activity. Overall, although many questions arising from the study of oneiric behaviour remain unanswered, recent neurophysiological and neuroimaging research about REM sleep offers an increasingly detailed picture of the cerebral correlates of dreaming that might also provide new insights into dream functions.
An efficient Method for Synthesizing the Full View of the Large Scale Object on Successive Multiple Images Thin

This paper presents a robust method for panorama view reconstruction from multiple viewpoints of the large-scale object. The desired object must be acquired from multiple viewpoints. The information of the feature points of an object is obtained by establishing correspondence between views. We present a robust method based on image mosaicing method and panorama synthesizing. First, the feature of each object is extracted. Then the corresponding feature points of an object between the images are estimated. The different of minimum threshold value between two images is computed. After that, the full view of an object is reconstructed by integrating two images based on image mosaicing approach. This paper describes how to establish feature correspondences between images accurately and effectively. Image registration technique provides an initial estimation for establishing feature correspondences of point features. The linear solution with the reliable correspondences makes the computation of the geometric transformation between two images, called homography. Experiments on real images show the effectiveness of these techniques. The tested images can be taken from indoors and outdoors views. The resulted image is demonstrated as reallife situations.
Asymptotically Zero Energy Split-Level Charge Recovery Logic

1 As the clock and logic speeds increase, the energy requirements of CMOS circuits are rapidly becoming a major concern in the design of personal information systems and large computers. Earlier, we presented a new form of CMOS Charge Recovery Logic (CRL), with a power dissipation that falls with the square of the operating frequency, as opposed to the linear drop of conventional CMOS circuits 1]. The technique relied on constructing an explicitly reversible pipelined logic gate, where the information necessary to recover the energy used to compute a value is provided by computing its functional inverse. Information necessary to uncompute the inverse is available from the subsequent inverse logic stage. In this paper, we present a new and greatly sim-pliied form of CRL, we call it Split-Level CRL (SCRL). Using split-level voltages, SCRL diiers from our original CRL in that it needs only 2, instead of 16, times as many devices as conventional CMOS, requires only one wire for every signal, instead of 4, and actively drives all outputs during sampling. Furthermore, we will show how to construct SCRL circuits using only 2 external inductors for every chip. Depending on the Q of available inductors, we anticipate energy savings of over 99% per logic operation for logic which is clocked suuciently slowly.
Supergravity description of the large N noncommutative dipole field theories

We consider a system of Dp-branes in the presence of a nonzero B field with one leg along brane worldvolume and the other transverse to it. We study the corresponding supergravity solutions and show that the worldvolume theories decouple from gravity for p ? 5. Therefore these solutions provide dual description of large N noncommutative dipole field theories. We shall only consider those systems which preserve 8 supercharges in the branes worldvolume. We analyze the system of M5-branes and NS5-branes in the presence of nonzero C field and RR field with one leg along the transverse direction and the others along the worldvolume of the brane, respectively. This could provide a new deformation of (2,0) and little string field theories. Finally, we study the Wilson loops using the dual gravity descriptions.
Clinical Considerations of BRCA1- and BRCA2-Mutation Carriers: A Review

Individuals who carry an inherited mutation in the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and BRCA2 genes have a significant risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer over the course of their lifetime. As a result, there are important considerations for the clinician in the counseling, followup and management of mutation carriers. This review outlines salient aspects in the approach to patients at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, including criteria for genetic testing, screening guidelines, surgical prophylaxis, and chemoprevention.
Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Sex-Biased Gene Expression in Juvenile Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Sex-biased genes are considered to account for most of phenotypic differences between males and females. In order to explore the sex-biased gene expression in crab, we performed the whole-body transcriptome analysis in male and female juveniles of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis using next-generation sequencing technology. Of the 23,349 annotated unigenes, 148 were identified as sex-related genes. A total of 29 candidate genes involved in primary sex determination pathways were detected, indicating the sex determination cascade of the mitten crab might be more complex than previously supposed. Differential expression analysis showed 448 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two transcriptomes. Most of DEGs were involved in processes such as metabolism and immunity, and not associated with obvious sexual function. The pathway predominantly enriched for DEGs were related to lysosome, which might reflect the differences in metabolism between males and females. Of the immune DGEs, 18 up-regulated genes in females were humoral immune factors, and eight up-regulated genes in males were pattern recognition receptors, suggesting sex differences of immune defense might exist in the mitten crab. In addition, two reproduction-related genes, vitellogenin and insulin-like androgenic gland factor, were identified to express in both sexes but with significantly higher level in males. Our research provides the first whole-body RNA sequencing of sex-specific transcriptomes for juvenile E. sinensis and will facilitate further studies on molecular mechanisms of crab sexual dimorphism.
Performance Comparison between OOK, PPM and PAM Modulation Schemes for Free Space Optical (FSO) Communication Systems: Analytical Study

As wireless communication systems become ever-more important and pervasive parts of our everyday life; system capacity and quality of service issues are becoming more critical. In order to increase the system capacity and improve the quality of service, it is necessary that we pay closer attention to bandwidth and power efficiency issues. In this paper, the bandwidth and power efficiency issues in Free Space Optics (FSO) transmissions are addressed under Pulse Position Modulation (L-PPM) and Pulse Amplitude Modulation (M-PAM) schemes, and their performance in terms of power and bandwidth efficiencies and the Bit Error Rate (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) are compared analytically. The comparative study of the L-PPM and MPAM schemes is discussed, and showed that for similar SNR, L-PPM scheme offered improved performance. For FSO communication systems, although the power efficiency is inferior to L-PPM scheme, On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation scheme is more commonly used due to its efficient bandwidth usage, but M-PAM is the bandwidth efficient modulation scheme in this research for more than “2” bits of information can be sent, while L-PPM is the power efficient modulation scheme for more number of bits can be sent, and it may be able to improve performance by increasing the number of bits in L-PPM scheme. General Terms Optical Communications, Modulation schemes, Bit Error Rate (BER), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Bandwidth Efficiency, Power Efficiency.
