Evaluation of hard and soft tissue changes on platform switched endosseous implants on different gingival biotypes: A One year clinical and radiographic study

BACKGROUND: Crestal bone loss around dental implants on initial loading can be influenced by gingival biotype. Platform switching minimize crestal bone loss resulting from implant-abutment union. The purpose of the present study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate the changes in the hard and soft tissue on platform switching endosseous implant on thick and thin gingival biotype in single edentulous site over a period of one year time. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 16 systemically healthy patients with a single edentulous site were enrolled in this study and endosseous implants were placed. A total of 16 implants were placed (8 in thick group and 8 in thin group). The relative position of marginal gingiva and relative width of keratinized gingiva was assessed at the time of implant placement, at the time of loading and 6 months after loading. Radiographic assessment was done for changes in the marginal bone levels at the mesial and distal side of the implant in the both groups at the time of implant placement(baseline),at the time of loading (at 6 months) and 6 months after loading (12 months) using radiograph. All these parameters were statistically analysed using Mann-Whitney test to compare thick and thin group, Friedman test for repeated measures used to compare values between three time points and were considered to be significant of the p value was ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: Sixteen patients were enrolled in the present study, 8 in the thick group and 8 in the thin group and endosseous implants were placed.14 subjects were followed up throughout the study period and two patients were excluded from the study. On intragroup comparison, no significant difference was seen in the mean relative position of marginal gingiva and mean relative width of keratinized gingiva in thick and thin biotype at baseline, at 6 months and at 12 months. On intergroup comparison, no significant difference was seen in the relative position of marginal gingiva but statistically significant difference was seen at 6 months and 12 months between thick and thin biotypes. On intergroup comparison, no significant difference was seen in relative width of keratinized gingiva between thick and thin biotypes at baseline, at 6 months and at 12 months. The difference in mean crestal bone level between thick and thin group, thin biotype shown more bone resorption over a period of one year. Intragroup comparison, statistically significant difference was seen in crestal bone level in both groups at 6 months and at 12 months. Intergroup comparison statistically significant difference was seen in crestal bone level at the time of loading. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of the study, it can be concluded that while platform switching concept seems to preserve soft tissue around the implant, it provides no additional benefits in preventing crestal bone loss in patients with thin biotype.
Listado preliminar de los enemigos naturales de Saissetia olenae (Homoptera: Coccidae) en olivares de la provincia de la Rioja, Argentina

Saissetia oleae (Olivier) (Horn.: Coccidae) is an important pest in Mendoza, San Juan and La Rioja provinces (Argentina). During 1964 at 1967 years two parasitoids were introduced for its control: Metaphycus lounsburyi (HOWARD) and M. helvolus (COMPERE).

PRODUCTION OF CELLULASE BY SOLID STATE FERMENTATION OF BREWERY SPENT GRAINS USING ASPERGILLUS NIGER FGSC A733

Brewery spent grains (BSG) is a waste product of the brewing process. BSG has been used as animal feed, production of value added products, substrate for growth of microorganisms and for extraction of proteins and acids. BSG is high in lignocellulosic matter and may be a candidate substrate for the production of lignocellulolytic enzymes (cellulases and xylanases). In this study, BSG was evaluated for use as a cheap and readily available substrate for the production of extracellular cellulase by Aspergillus niger FGSC A733 during solid state fermentation. The brewery spent grains were subjected to fermentation by Aspergillus niger FGSC A733 at different temperatures ranging from 30 40 °C and initial pH ranging from 4.0 6.0 for process optimization. Time course analysis was done to determine the optimum incubation period for maximum cellulase production. The effect of alkaline pre-treatment of the substrate on the production of cellulase was analyzed. Cellulase activity was determined by estimating the amount of reducing sugars produced by the enzymes using 3.5 dinitrosalycyclic acid (DNS). Maximum cellulase production was at 35 °C, pH 5.0 and an optimum incubation period of 72 hours. Under optimized conditions, a yield of 73.33 U of cellulase/gram of substrate was obtained. Pre-treatment of the spent grains resulted in a three-fold increase in the production of cellulase. BSG was found to be a suitable substrate for production of cellulase.
Running head: CARBOHYDRATES AND MOOD

The effect of carbohydrate (CHO) consumption on mood is much debated, with researchers reporting both mood improvements and decrements following CHO ingestion. As global consumption of sugar-sweetened products has sharply increased in recent years, examining the validity of claims of an association between CHOs and mood is of high importance. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between acute CHO ingestion and mood. We examined the time-course of CHO-mood interactions and considered the role of moderator variables potentially affecting the CHO-mood relationship. Analysis of 176 effect sizes (31 studies, 1259 participants) revealed no positive effect of CHOs on any aspect of mood at any time-point following their consumption. However, CHO administration was associated with higher levels of fatigue and less alertness compared with placebo within the first hour post-ingestion. These findings challenge the idea that CHOs can improve mood, and might be used to increase the public’s awareness that the ‘sugar rush’ is a myth, inform health policies to decrease sugar consumption, and promote healthier alternatives.

Mediational Role of Motivation in the Association between Emotional Intelligence and Leadership at Workplace

Leaders with high emotional intelligence have the ability to understand themselves as well as others and to regulate behaviors in a given context. These abilities are a function of their motivation. Motivation is the process that accounts for an individual's intensity, direction and persistence of effort towards attaining a goal. Former researches indicate a strong association between emotional intelligence and leadership. The role of motivation in determining leadership has also been established. However, the present study proposes a model to investigate whether there is a path that goes through motivation in order to understand the association between emotional intelligence and leadership in the workspace. This exploratory study undertakes a convenient sample of 60 upper and middle management employees from private and public sectors. The tools used for data collection include Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale and Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical measures would be used for data analysis. Hierarchical Multiple Regression would be used to investigate motivation as the moderating variable between the leadership and emotional intelligence.It can be concluded that extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and transformational and transactional leadership, respectively, are significant predictors of emotional intelligence. While transformational and laissez faire leadership were found to be significant predictors of intrinsic motivation, transformational leadership was found to be a significant predictor of extrinsic motivation. The results further indicated that only extrinsic motivation plays a significant mediational role in the association between emotional intelligence and transformational, transactional leadership at workplace.
To be or not to be - a data set. Art, technology and identity in the new informational order

In recent decades, a significant part of public and private governmental efforts has been devoted to developing technologies to collect and analyze data about living beings. On the one hand, data on their biological endowments, such as in biometrics or measurements of organic processes with biomedicine devices. On the other hand, data about their "forms of life": habits, opinions, even emotions, such as in data mining. Between "fingerprint" and "digital footprint", then, is stretched out one of the main lines of force of the techno-scientific intelligibility grid about what we are and what we could be. I will discuss three strategies with which some contemporary artists appropriate the new technologies for recording information from living bodies to unveil critically the mechanisms of capture of individuals and individuations they realize. In the end, I will resituate this question: what is at stake in the incitement to understand ourselves as a "data set"?
Development of a Web Tool for Escherichia coli Subtyping Based on fimH Alleles

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to construct a valid publicly available method for in silico fimH subtyping of Escherichia coli particularly suitable for differentiation of fine-resolution subgroups within clonal groups defined by standard multilocus sequence typing (MLST). FimTyper was constructed as a FASTA database containing all currently known fimH alleles. The software source code is publicly available at https://bitbucket.org/genomicepidemiology/fimtyper, the database is freely available at https://bitbucket.org/genomicepidemiology/fimtyper_db, and a service implementing the software is available at https://cge.cbs. dtu.dk/services/FimTyper. FimTyper was validated on three data sets: one containing Sanger sequences of fimH alleles of 42 E. coli isolates generated prior to the current study (data set 1), one containing whole-genome sequence (WGS) data of 243 third-generation-cephalosporin-resistant E. coli isolates (data set 2), and one containing a randomly chosen subset of 40 E. coli isolates from data set 2 that were subjected to conventional fimH subtyping (data set 3). The combination of the three data sets enabled an evaluation and comparison of FimTyper on both Sanger sequences and WGS data. FimTyper correctly predicted all 42 fimH subtypes from the Sanger sequences from data set 1 and successfully analyzed all 243 draft genomes from data set 2. FimTyper subtyping of the Sanger sequences and WGS data from data set 3 were in complete agreement. Additionally, fimH subtyping was evaluated on a phylogenetic network of 122 sequence type 131 (ST131) E. coli isolates. There was perfect concordance between the typology and fimH-based subclones within ST131, with accurate identification of the pandemic multidrug-resistant clonal subgroup ST131-H30. FimTyper provides a standardized tool, as a rapid alternative to conventional fimH subtyping, highly suitable for surveillance and outbreak detection.

SKELETAL SHAPE SIMILARITY AND SHAPE CLASSIFICATION

OF THE DISSERTATION Skeletal Shape Similarity and Shape Classification By NATHAN DESTLER Dissertation Director: Jacob Feldman What makes two shapes similar? Given two shapes, is there a mathematically principled way to predict human similarity judgments, and consequent shape classification judgments? To answer this question, an experimental framework was developed for rapidly collecting human judgments of whether shapes did or not not belong to novel shape categories. The subjects’ judgments of category membership were compared against the predictions of several different shape similarity/classification models. Among these models, I propose a new lattice similarity model of shape similarity based on Bayesian shape skeletons. An earlier model of similarity based on the same Bayesian shape skeletons, the cross likelihood, has been shown to be an effective predictor of human shape discrimination, but this model applies only to shapes with similar part structures. The lattice similarity model is more principled and general, and is suitable for comparing arbitrary shape pairs in both 2D and 3D domains. This new model provides a better overall fit to human data than a number of competing models, including the cross likelihood model, an out-of-the-box convolutional neural network model, and a non-skeletal part-based similarity model proposed by Erdogan and Jacobs (2017). The lattice similarity model predicted human data more accurately than all other tested models in experiments that used 3D shapes, and most other models in experiments that used 2D shapes. Prototype-like and exemplar-like versions of the lattice similarity model were also compared using the same human data as above; the prototype-like version fits the experimental data better than the exemplar-like version.
Construction and Implementation of Smart Home System

Construction and implementation of an individual control home automation system using Raspberry pi micro controller and a GSM provide the automatic or semi-automatic control and monitoring of household appliances and residential house features like doors, gate and even the windows. This project is a demonstration of how to design and build a multipurpose remotely controlled system that can switch OFF and ON any electrical household appliance (including the security light), by dialing a phone already interfaced via relay module to a micro controller that controls a relay for the automatic switching on and off of the appliance and the phone will send a feedback short message service text indicating the new state of the appliance, whether switched ON or OFF. The results of this project show that a micro controller is a very powerful device for building smart electronic devices that can automatically control electrical appliances, with little circuitry complexities and components.
Investigation on directional interference based DCA scheme in TDD-CDMA

: Dynamic channel allocation, abbreviating for DCA, is a unique portion of radio resource management (RRM) schemes in TDD-CDMA systems, an important branch of 3rd Generation mobile communication standards adopted by 3GPP. The paper investigates the basic characteristic of DCA including slow DCA and fast DCA in TDD-CDMA systems with smart antennas and presents a whole resolution scheme including an improved slow DCA, a directional-interference-based resource assignment and slot reallocation algorithm. A dynamic system level simulator programmed on OPNET based on Monte-Carlo method is modeled, established and optimized to investigate the effect of smart antennas on DCA schemes and prove the performance gain of improved DCA algorithms. The results show that the improved slow DCA and direction-interference-based fast DCA schemes are help to increase system capacity and reduce dropping rate.
Impacts of enterprise zones on local households in Vietnam

Based on the “winner-loser” scheme, we examine the possible impacts of enterprise zones (EZs) on local Vietnamese households between 2002 and 2008, using differences-in-differences and a panel-event study. We layer four waves of household surveys using a census of EZs in 2007, based on the same commune identity for our household and individual analyses. Within five years of EZ establishment, we find they are associated with higher household incomes, an increase in private property prices, and an increase in working hours. However, we do not find a significant impact on household living expenditure or school attendance/working probabilities among members aged between 7 and 17 years. Neither do we find a significant impact on health outcomes.

Duality and Faustmann: implications for the evaluation of landowner behavior.

This paper examines the behavioral consequences when landowners seek to minimize costs rather than maximize profits. We derive a cost function that is dual to the net present value function in the Faustmann Model. This cost function provides a theoretical foundation for studies that estimate forest production costs. We use comparative statics methodology to derive qualitative results for changes in selected policies and exogenous parameters. We find that the qualitative impacts under cost minimization are usually unambiguous. Qualitative impacts under profit maximization are usually ambiguous. This implies that behavioral impacts are usually easier to assess a priori, when landowners minimize costs rather than maximize profits.
