CONTROL MICROBIOLÓGICO SOBRE Streptococcus Mutans Y SU ACCIÓN ACIDOGÉNICA

The actions made by health institutions in the prevention and control of dental caries have not been enough to achieve an important reduction of this disease. At the present moment, the microbiological control or replacement therapy applied for the prevention of the infectious diseases is just a hypothetical possibility. However, it is important to study and analyze the real value that this strategie can have in the future as a way to control dental problems, specifically dental caries. This therapeutical possibility acquires more importance with the awareness that preventive measures taken at the present time don’t have the expected impact. The goal of this article is to present an analysis of the researches made in the search, improvement and application of Streptococcus mutans strains in the microbiological control on S. mutans native strains and thus, the prevention of dental caries. In the history of the studies made in microbiological control, the works made by Hillman et al with of S. mutans mutant strains, JH1001, JH1005, JH1140 and BCS3-L1 were distinguished. In this group of strains, the genetic stability and also the capacity to colonize and stay on the oral cavity and other important characteristics of its use on microbiological control were evaluated. The advances obtained in these works in conjunction with the availability of more efficient techniques of genetic engineering allow to think that the achievement of the perfect strain for prevention of dental caries is closer.
Evaluation of Material Compatibility Study on Different Material Specimens for Imago & Getter Disinfectants

: The study was aimed to evaluate resistance offered by different disinfectant chemicals on various kinds of materials mostly present in Pharma manufacturing industries, cleanrooms, Healthcare, Institutions etc., simulating performance in potential end use environments. Disinfectant chemicals can include commonly used chemical compound or in combination of two or more compounds that the test material may be expected to come in contact with. Different disinfectants are not compatible with all types of surfaces [2]. The disinfectants must not damage the material to which they are applied to and can cause corrosion or discoloration [6]. Control is important for product safety and cost factor to the end users. The test includes provisions for reporting changes observed in weight, dimensions, appearance and strength properties. Provisions are made for various exposure times and strain conditions. The simple test procedure was developed compared to as described in Chemical Compatibility - ASTM D543 Standard [3].
C O ] 1 2 O ct 2 01 9 On Laplacian Monopoles

We consider the action of the (combinatorial) Laplacian of a finite and simple graph on integer vectors. By a Laplacian monopole we mean an image vector negative at exactly one coordinate associated with a vertex. We consider a numerical semigroup Hf (P ) given by all monopoles at a vertex of a graph. The well-known analogy between finite graphs and algebraic curves (Riemann surfaces) has motivated much work. More specifically for us, the motivation arises out of the classical Weierstrass semigroup of a rational point on a curve whose properties are tied to the Riemann-Roch Theorem, as well as out of the graph theoretic Riemann-Roch Theorem demonstrated by Baker and Norine. We determine Hf (P ) for some families of graphs and demonstrate a connection between Hf (P ) and the vertex (also edge) connectivity of a graph. We also study Hr(P ), which arises out of the result of Baker and Norine, and explore its connection to Hf (P ) on graphs. We show that Hr(P ) ⊆ Hf (P ) in a number of special cases. In contrast to the situation in the classical setting, we demonstrate that Hf (P ) \ Hr(P ) can be arbitrarily large and identify a potential obstruction to the inclusion of Hr(P ) in Hf (P ) in general, though we still conjecture this inclusion. We conclude with a few open questions.
VOLUNTEER WORK IN THE FRAMES OF PALLIATIVE CARE

The article is based on the experiences stemming from the development and process of volunteer work in hospitals and health centres in Great Britain, Canada, America and Australia, where active volunteer work is being practiced for a long period of time. Experiences date back to the period before programs of palliative have been introduced in ho-
Intersection-based Spatial Annotation of Trajectories with Linked Data

Smart cities are characterized by providing new services through Information and Communications Technologies. However, it is important to gather data from citizens to discover new knowledge about certain aspects of a city. One example of a rich domain for collecting data in a smart city is exploring the use of mobile fitness applications. Users usually record outdoor activities in the form of trajectories, which can later be acquired for further analysis. In this work, we leverage Semantic Web technologies to propose an annotation algorithm that segments trajectories according to their spatial context. We demonstrate how the method works and the impact of OpenStreetMap related ontologies in the annotation process.
Image Segmentation and Classification for Medical Image Processing

Segmentation and labeling remains the weakest step in many medical vision applications. This paper illustrates an approach based on watershed transform which are designed to solve typical problems encountered in various applications, and which are controllable through adaptation of their parameters. Two of these modules are presented: the lung cancer detection, a method for the segmentation of cancer regions from CT images, a watershed algorithm for image segmentation and brain tumor detection from MRI images. Various GLCM features along with some statistical features are used for classification using Neural network and Support Vector Machine (SVM). We describe the principles of the algorithms and illustrate their generic properties by discussing the results of both applications in 2D MRI images of Brain tumor and CT images of lung cancer.
Related Party Transactions with Foreign Affiliates : New Evidence on Determinants and Firm Value

We extend the existing literature on related party transactions from a domestic to an international dimension and uncover new evidence of resource transfer by FDI firms to their foreign affiliates through overseas related party transactions. Employing uniquely-constructed data of Korean firms during 2005-2010, we find that a KOSPI or KOSDAQ FDI firm of a larger size with a higher export ratio, a lower import ratio and/or a higher major shareholder’s stock ownership is likely to engage in more overseas related party transactions. We also document non-positive effects of overseas related party transactions on firm value for the whole sample period but negative valuation effects of such transactions during the post-global financial crisis period. This negative valuation effect is associated mainly with the related party transactions of high-tech KOSPI (KOSDAQ) firms whose foreign affiliates are in developed (emerging) countries during the post-crisis period. These results suggest that FDI firms use related party transactions as a means of transferring their resources and supporting their financially-distressed foreign affiliates, especially after the crisis. Our results remain robust to the potential endogeneity issue.
Silicon Photovoltaics , SiliconPV 2016 PC 1 Dmod 6 . 2 – Improved simulation of cSi devices with updates on device physics and user interface

In this paper we present a new update to PC1Dmod, which extends the original PC1D program by implementing Fermi-Dirac statistics and a range of state-of-the-art models in order to improve the accuracy of c-Si device simulation. In PC1Dmod 6.2 the list of models is further expanded to include a parameterization of incomplete ionization of dopants (Altermatt et al., J. Appl. Phys.100, 113715, 2006), with parameters for phosphorus, boron, arsenic, gallium and aluminum. The results have been verified against a previous implementation of the model. We show that the inclusion of incomplete ionization is of particular importance for moderately doped surface regions with doping densities in the range ~5 × 10 to ~5 × 10 cm, resulting in a deviation of up to 15% in the simulated recombination current density and sheet resistance. The effect of incomplete ionization is also shown to be more pronounced in devices made from compensated Si material. Furthermore, the default solar spectrum has also been updated in PC1Dmod 6.2, taking advantage of the increased maximum file size to include a more realistic representation. The generation profiles calculated using PC1Dmod 6.2 together with input from OPAL 2 agree well with results from Sentaurus TCAD for both planar and pyramidally textured surfaces, thus facilitating a more direct comparison between PC1Dmod 6.2 and other simulation programs utilizing standard spectra. The simulation comparison is also extended to the electrical performance of the modeled devices, showing good agreement in the calculated short-circuit current density for a range of planar and textured solar cells with varying emitter doping. Finally, several new output options, including emitter saturation current and injectiondependent lifetime curves have been added, enabling a simpler and more direct way for users to access and plot important device properties. © 2016 The Authors.

Model for total noise assessment under consideration of source specific exposure-response-curves

Although most of the German population is exposed to multiple noise sources, noise legislation in Germany is subdivided in regulations for each noise source. In order to improve the quality of life there is a lack of a total noise assessment. The German Federal Environmental Agency therefor initiated the research project ”Model for total noise assessment”. As a part of this project the method of the German VDI standard 3722-2 on the assessment of the impact of noise from multiple sources was further developed. With the help of exposure response relationships for individual source types a total noise assessment for road traffic, railway, aircraft and industrial noise is possible. For this purpose the exposure-response relationships of the new WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines are used. The possibility of considering health effects and combining annoyance ratings and other health effects are discussed. In a second step of this project noise mitigation in case of multiple noise sources are investigated. Different methods for the cost distribution were examined regarding their advantages and disadvantages in the application. The proposed method of cost distribution was finally tested in case studies using the further development of the VDI standard.
Molecular Biology of Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid is a H-shaped gland localised in front of trachea at the base of the neck, whose main functions are the synthesis, the storage and the secretion of thyroid hormones under the control of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis. Thyroid is comprised of spherical follicles filled with colloid that are lined by cuboidal/flat epithelial cells denoted follicular cells (or thyrocytes). The other hormone-producing cells in the thyroid gland are scattered within follicles, and are denoted para-follicular cells (or C cells). Whereas follicular cells are responsible for iodine uptake and thyroid hormone synthesis, C cells are dedicated to the production of calcitonin (Dumont et al., 1992). Cancers that arise in the thyroid gland represent the most common malignancy of the endocrine system and accounts for approximately 1% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases in Western countries, with estimates of annual incidence rates of 12 cases per 100,000 in North America and 5.6 new cases per 100,000 in Europe (Gilliland et al., 2009). Incidence rates of thyroid cancer widely vary worldwide, possibly because of inherent ethnic geographical or environmental differences that include iodine deficiency and radiation exposure. For instance the incidence of thyroid cancer is high in the Chinese and Filipino population of Hawaii (119 cases/million women and 45 cases/million men, respectively) and it is relatively low in Poland (14 cases/million women and 4 cases/million men, respectively) (Ain, 1995). The most common forms of thyroid carcinoma derive either from thyroid follicular epithelial cells or from C cells (Sherman, 2003). The former include welldifferentiated carcinoma (WDTC) divided into (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) -, poorly differentiated carcinoma (PDTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) (Rosai et al., 1992; DeLellis et al., 2004). PTC is the most frequent type of thyroid malignancy, and accounts for approximately 80-85% of all cases, FTC accounts for approximately 10-15% of all thyroid tumors whereas PDTC and ATC are rare aggressive malignancies (2% of all thyroid cancer) that can develop either directly or from pre-existing well-differentiated PTC and FTC. Thyroid cancer derived from para-follicular C cells is denoted Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC). MTC is a relatively rare malignancy (<5%) and will not be discussed here. Most neoplasms derived from thyroid follicular epithelial cells are indolent tumours that can be effectively treated by surgical resection and/or radioactive-iodine administration. Usually, PTC and FTC are well-differentiated tumours with a fairly good prognosis that are generally curable with current treatments (Sherman,
Interactive Citation Trend Analysis of TVCG Articles

Citation data can be used to measure the popularity of an article. As we know citation data changes over time so if these changes are presented over time with the help of visualization they reveal hidden trends in citation data. However, existing applications do not offer a simple way to extract these citation data, especially how they evolve in time-series. We developed a dynamic web scraper to extract this information from existing platforms and uniformly stored the cleaned data. Using our acquired data we created an interactive visualization to explore this citation network. Individual article citation trends over time and comparison of the different article are in consideration. With the simple interaction, a user can get the overview of citations, compare citations between the article and find the citation patterns of the article.
Clinical Outcome and Phenotypic Expression in LAMP 2 Cardiomyopathy

METABOLIC MYOCARDIAL storage diseases that mimic the clinical and phenotypic expression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have recently been reported in young patients, including those diseases due to mutations in the X-linked lysosome-associated membrane protein gene (LAMP2; OMIM 309060; Danon disease). The morphologic expression and the clinical course experienced by patients with this newly identified cardiomyopathy are incompletely resolved. Therefore, it is informative to report our experience with an assessment of the natural history associated with LAMP2 cardiomyopathy.
An investigation of room functions and acoustic demands in selected departments in three Danish hospitals

Hospitals contain many different room types, each having its own contribution to the main function of treating patients. Different room types with different functions demand different acoustics. Currently only a few recommendations in terms of room acoustics are mentioned in the Danish Building Code, BR18. Recommendations, only to a limited degree, fulfill the demand for a sufficient acoustic environment for staff and patients. In this study different room types were investigated from selected departments in Bispebjerg, Frederiksberg and Hvidovre hospitals. Four room types were investigated; examination/treatment rooms, control rooms, nurse stations and lunch rooms. From interviews with staff and questionnaires, information about functions and acoustic demands was collected for all four room types. Furthermore, acoustic parameters, T20, EDT, C50 and STI were measured in the rooms. Recommendations in BR18 were found to be insufficient to meet the acoustic demands in several of the rooms. Future recommendations should be formulated to ensure a satisfactory acoustic environment, which meet the function demands in the rooms. A systematic investigation of room functions and use of facilities in hospitals in regards to noise is needed to be able to make such recommendations.
Quantum Nonlocality in Star-Network Entanglement Swapping Configurations

Entanglement swapping is a quantum mechanical process in which spatially separated initially independent entangled quantum systems can be subject to nonlocal correlations. This thesis aims to study quantum correlations in entanglement swapping scenarios in a broad class of star-networks. We introduce a nonlinear assumption of local realism from which we characterize classical correlations. We present new Bell inequalities for entanglement swapping configurations in several star-networks and show that our inequalities are tight with respect to local realist correlations. In addition we show how to close the freedom-of-choice loophole. Quantum violations are provided for our inequalities and their various properties are extensively studied. Furthermore we study the behaviour of quantum correlations in the presence of experimental imperfections restricted to inefficient detectors and white noise tolerance.
A New Formulation for the Design of Chebyshev Arrays

finite ground plane will, of course, distort these patterns. ) As seen in Fig. 5 , the curves for variously sized bicones are quite similar with respect to the variations in the radiation pattern. At low frequencies when the antenna is electrically small, the pattern is similar to that of a short dipole [4] which is circular or oval in shape and in three dimensions has the appearance of a toroid (i.e., “doughnut”-shaped). The maximum radiation occurs at 0 = 7r/2. At the higher frequencies where the exit aperture is of the order of a wavelength or larger, the maximum radiation moves away from the horizontal direction and minor lobes appear. As a consequence, the horizontal directivity can decrease at higher frequencies, especially for the larger size bicones. Directivity curves have also been computed. The directivity in the direction Om, D ( 0 , ) , is the ratio of the integral of the Poynting vector with the value of the electric field at 0 = Or,, to the actual value of the integral, or
ENERGY COMPETENT TRANSMISSION MECHANISM BASED ROUTING APPROACH ( ECTM-MRA ) FOR RELIABLE VIDEO TRANSMISSION IN MULTIMEDIA VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKS

Transmission of video without transmission errors is one of the key research issue in multimedia Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET). Multimedia VANETs are capable enough to capture and share environmental monitoring, surveillance, traffic accidents, and disaster-based video smart city applications. This research work aims in proposing energy competent transmission mechanism based routing approach (ECTM-MRA) for reliable video transmission in multimedia vehicular ad hoc networks. ECTM-MRA has two stages. The first stage of ECTM is data gathering that contains a video review table and the vehicle information table. The second stage of ECTM is associated to the video streaming method that obtains the parameters such as vehicle's degree, residual energy and transmission speed to determine low delay and resource responsive routes for streaming the video. Simulations are carried out and the results demonstrate that the proposed ECTM-MRA performs better in terms of route length, packet end-to-end delay, freezing delay, number of delivered packets and packet loss ratio.
PRISM: An Experiment Framework for Straggler Analytics in Containerized Clusters

Containerized clusters of machines at scale that provision Cloud services are encountering substantive difficulties with stragglers -- whereby a small subset of task execution negatively degrades system performance. Stragglers are an unsolved challenge due to a wide variety of root-causes and stochastic behavior. While there have been efforts to mitigate their effects, few works have attempted to empirically ascertain how system operational scenarios precisely influence straggler occurrence and severity. This challenge is further compounded with the difficulties of conducting experiments within real-world containerized clusters. System maintenance and experiment design are often error-prone and time-consuming processes, and a large portion of tools created for workload submission and straggler injection are bespoke to specific clusters, limiting experiment reproducibility. In this paper we propose PRISM, a framework that automates containerized cluster setup, experiment design, and experiment execution. Our framework is capable of deployment, configuration, execution, performance trace transformation and aggregation of containerized application frameworks, enabling scripted execution of diverse workloads and cluster configurations. The framework reduces time required for cluster setup and experiment execution from hours to minutes. We use PRISM to conduct automated experimentation of system operational conditions and identify straggler manifestation is affected by resource contention, input data size and scheduler architecture limitations.
“ Intelligent car system : A Review ”

Intelligence is incorporated in the non-living things to make life easy. The intelligence in car system was first done by Google and hence named it as Google car. The Google car is a driverless car system where all the functions are automated based on the sensors. This paper presents a framework where a fuzzy system is used for the implementation of an intelligent car system. In particular, the prototype of the intelligent car system will show how the robot reaches from source to destination with the shortest path by detecting and avoiding obstacle. This paper highlights the key factor like choosing destination and the shortest path using GPS module, camera is interfaced for the image processing of the obstacles detection and avoidance.
