Efficacy of a plant-based dental gel for chronic simple marginal gingivitis: a clinical trial

High prevalence of inflammatory periodontal diseases in young people along with unfavourable outcomes and long-term consequences cause great damage to health, thereby determining the importance and urgency of this problem in modern dentistry. Herein, we introduced a gel based on sanguiritrin, medicinal extracts of calendula and yarrow, and evaluated its effectiveness in the treatment of chronic simple marginal gingivitis in the clinical study involving 45 patients aged 18 to 23 years (26 females and 19 males). In the treatment group (23 patients), after professional oral hygiene and correction of hygiene skills, the dental gel based on sanguiritrin, medicinal extracts of calendula and yarrow was applied as part of complex therapy, while in the control group (22 patients) the Cholisal gel was used. The data obtained from hygienic and periodontal indices following the treatment (OHI-S — 0.39±0.03; PBI — 1.12±0.06; PMA — 16.4±1.31%) showed clinical anti-inflammatory efficacy of the introduced dental gel in the treatment of gingivitis, while positive indices dynamics of the dental status (OHI-S — 0.64±0.03; PBI — 0.42±0.03; PMA — 9.92±1.42%) evaluated in 3rd, 6th and 12th months after the therapy indicated of the stability of obtained results.
Studying the Radial and Tangential Velocity Components of the Epithelization Healing Post Photorefractive Keratectomy Surgery of the Human Eye

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the refractive technique that began with a physical scraping of the epithelial layer of cornea subsequent by laser treatment. Post this procedure to about 48 hours the removed epithelial layer regenerated to protect the eye again. The regeneration process (called re-epithelization) started from the limbus of the cornea toward the central part of it. The re-epithelization mechanism consists of a change in cell density (mitosis) and cell concentration (migration) with a velocity in two directions: radial and tangential. In the present study, an estimation for both radial (responsible for the overlapped layers toward the outward direction of the cornea) and tangential components (contour shape wave from limbus to the center) has been done for the first time, not like the previous studies that always estimate the velocity values of the re-epithelization only. Results showed that the trend shape of both components agrees with the kinematic behaviour of the mitosis and migration, where the maximum cell density fluctuated toward the central part in exponential decay shape. For a healing diameter of 2mm, the maximum redial velocity was 16.85 µm/h, while the maximum tangential velocity was 55.48 µm/h. These two components give a speed of re-epithelization of 58 µm/h which agrees with the biological and practical healing speed measured of 60 µm/h. Estimating these two components will open the way to understand the relationship between the total epithelial layer required and the total healing time to control the medication period for the patient post-surgery.

Hiding Data and Detecting Hidden Data in Raw Video Components Using SIFT Points

Steganography is a science of hiding data in a medium whereas steganalysis is composed of attacks to find the hidden data in a cover medium. Since hiding data in a text file would disturb the coherence of the text or make it suspicious, systematically changing pixels of a visual is a more common method. This process is performed on pixels that are spatially (and/or temporally, for video components) distant from each other so that a viewer's eye can be deceived. Online media are subject to modification such as compression, resolution change, visual modifications, and such which makes Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) points appropriate candidates for steganography. The current paper has two aims: the first is to propose a method that uses the SIFT points of a video for steganography. The second aim is to use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) as a steganalysis tool to detect the suspicious pixels of a video. The results indicate that the proposed steganography method is effective because it yields higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR = 95.41 dB) compared to other techniques described in cybersecurity literature, and CNN cannot detect hidden data with much success due to its 52% accuracy rate.
INDIGENOUS FISH FEED RESOURCES IN NIGERIA A REVIEW

Many unconventional sources are of very good nutrient profiles which when incorporated into feeds can meet parts of the protein and energy requirements of the fish. Most of these indigenous fish feed resources are non-competitive in terms of human consumption, their prices are relatively very low and sometimes are of no cost value. They are usually byproducts or waste products from agricultural industries, domestic waste, and wild plants, thus their utilization as feed resources can help to reduce the cost of fish feeds and fish production in Nigeria.

Thermodynamics Study on the Separation Process of Cresols from Hexane via Deep Eutectic Solvent Formation

Phenolic compounds could be separated through their formation of deep eutectic solvent (DES). This process was different from normal liquid–liquid extraction and was more efficient and environmental. In this work, the thermodynamic process of this kind of separation was studied. Ternary liquid–liquid equilibrium data were systematically measured at atmospheric pressure and temperatures from 303.15 to 313.15 K. The experimental data were regressed by NRTL and UNIQUAC models, and the validated results revealed that NRTL model were more consistent with experimental data. The above-mentioned parameters could be used to predict ternary mixture interactions and then applied in subsequent design and optimization of the separation process of corresponding systems. This extraction process was further optimized using Aspen Plus with NRTL as thermodynamic model. The simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental outcomes.
Feedback–feedforward control technique with a comprehensive mathematical analysis for single‐input dual‐output three‐level dc–dc converter

This study proposes a control technique for single-input dual-output three-level dc–dc converter (SIDO-TLC) using feedback (FB) and feedforward (FF) principles. Through the proposed control strategy, SIDO-TLC can smoothly function in both buck and boost operating conditions with a fast dynamic. Major duties of the designed FB control loops are to noticeably decrease the recovery time of transient responses under the load variations and accurately balance the boost capacitors voltages. To effectively decouple the introduced control inputs, an external FF controller is assigned that can also enhance the buck and boost voltage regulations. Furthermore, a step-by-step assessment is contemplated based on the proposed control loops to make an offline adjustment for the FB and FF coefficients. The proposed controller implemented on SIDO-TLC is highly suitable for portable applications, where efficiency, cost, and speed are of important factors. The simulation results and the laboratory test setup of SIDO-TLC using DSP TMS320F28335 are presented to prove the validity of the presented theoretical subjects.
Highly Flexible Strain Sensor from Tissue Paper for Wearable Electronics

We introduce a simple method to fabricate a highly flexible resistive-type strain sensor composed of carbon paper (CP) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer. The key resistance sensitive material of the sensor, carbon paper, is prepared from tissue paper by a simple high-temperature pyrolysis process. At the same time, the as-fabricated CP/PDMS strain senor is highly sensitive to applied strain with a gauge factor of 25.3, almost 10 times higher than that of conventional metallic strain gauge. Furthermore, the response of CP/PDMS strain sensor under cyclic tensile strain with a peak strain of 3% was also investigated, which exhibits fast and steady response with excellent durability within the frequency range 0.01–10 Hz. Finally, we demonstrate the successful utilization of the CP/PDMS strain sensor as wearable electronics in breath monitoring and robot controlling. The eminent performance, low material cost, and facile fabrication process make the CP/PDMS strain sensor exceptionally promising in flex.

The anticipatory and reaction time behaviors of the futsal goalkeeper

This study aimed to investigate the goalkeeper’s anticipatory and reaction time behaviors. For this purpose, 50 kicks performed by male futsal players were analyzed. The time of goalkeeper’s response to a kick was analyzed in relation to the kick outcome, court zone and distance between the goalkeeper and player who performed the kick. The goalkeeper’s anticipation and reaction time behaviors were those below and above 200 ms as the time criterion, respectively, by considering the moment the player began the preparation for kicking to the moment the goalkeeper began to respond to it. Results showed that the goalkeeper performed anticipatory behaviors predominantly when (i) goals were attained and (ii) kicks were performed in the center and attack court’s zones (iii) at a distance ranging from 5.97 to 7.84 meters. In these conditions, the goalkeepers’ anticipatory behaviors implied ineffective performances.
Generating Pseudo-Data to Enhance the Performance of Classification-Based Engineering Design: A Preliminary Investigation

Machine learning for classification has been used widely in engineering design, for example, feasible domain recognition and hidden pattern discovery. Training an accurate machine learning model requires a large dataset; however, high computational or experimental costs are major issues in obtaining a large dataset for real-world problems. One possible solution is to generate a large pseudo dataset with surrogate models, which is established with a smaller set of real training data. However, it is not well understood whether the pseudo dataset can benefit the classification model by providing more information or deteriorates the machine learning performance due to the prediction errors and uncertainties introduced by the surrogate model. This paper presents a preliminary investigation towards this research question. A classification-and-regressiontree model is employed to recognize the design subspaces to support design decision-making. It is implemented on the geometric design of a vehicle energy-absorbing structure based on finite element simulations. Based on a small set of real-world data obtained by simulations, a surrogate model based on Gaussian process regression is employed to generate pseudo datasets for training. The results showed that the tree-based method could help recognize feasible design domains efficiently. Furthermore, the additional information provided by the surrogate model enhances the accuracy of classification. One important conclusion is that the accuracy of the surrogate model determines the quality of the pseudo dataset and hence, the improvements in the machine learning model.
The Extent to Which Gender Difference Influences the Degree of Subjection to the Endowment Effect—An Empirical Finding

The maximum price that someone is willing to pay for a good is usually much less than the minimum price that the person is willing to accept to give up the same good (the WTA-WTP gap). This is known at the endowment effect. Loss aversion is the main reason of endowment effect. This study investigates whether gender differences affect the degree of subjection to the endowment effect, and if they do, to what extent. The experiment measures the WTA-WTP gap for male and female respectively. The result shows that the female generally display a larger WTA-WTP gap than male, hence showing that they are more subjected to the endowment effect. Future research may gain more understanding on the factors that influence the strength of endowment effect.

Value of information of combinations of proof loading and pore pressure monitoring for flood defences

Abstract Spatial variability and limited measurements often result in low reliability estimates of geotechnical failure modes of dikes (i.e., earthen flood defences). Required dike reinforcements are usually not executed within a few years after inception, which enables efforts to improve reliability estimates by reducing uncertainty. Often decision makers are unclear on whether uncertainty reduction is worth investing, and which (combination of) methods yields the highest Value of Information (VoI). This paper presents a framework to assess the VoI of two uncertainty reduction methods (proof loading and pore pressure monitoring) for a case study of a typical river dike with an insufficiently stable inner slope, using a decision tree. In all cases, a positive VoI was found for at least one strategy consisting of a proof load test, monitoring or both. The optimal strategy of proof loading and monitoring has a VoI of 4.0 M€, being a reduction in total cost of 25% compared to a conventional dike reinforcement. It was also found that sometimes proof loading enhances the VoI of pore pressure monitoring, which demonstrates the benefits of jointly considering different methods in a single decision tree. The decision framework yields insight in total cost and VoI of risk reduction strategies, which enables decision makers to determine where proof loading and/or pore pressure monitoring are efficient, leading to more efficient flood defence asset management.
