Published: October 2016

INTRODUÇÃO: A cárie dentária é uma doença de caráter multifatorial que representa umas das doenças crônicas mais comuns do mundo. OBJETIVO: avaliar o nível de conhecimento dos pais/ responsáveis acerca da presença de cárie dentária em seus fi lhos, bem como associar a percepção dos mesmos com os dados objetivos de diagnóstico de cárie obtidos através de exame clínico. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo piloto de caráter transversal com uma amostra de 38 crianças com idade entre 3 e 12 anos, atendidas pela clínica de Odontopediatria de uma instituição de ensino superior da região sul do estado do Ceará. Através do uso de questionário foram coletadas informações sobre percepção dos pais/responsáveis quanto à presença de cárie na criança, bem como aspectos sociodemográfi cos da família. O diagnóstico de cárie foi acessado através de exame clínico realizado por dois examinadores previamente treinados e calibrados através dos índices ICDAS-II e PUFA. Foram realizadas análises de distribuição de frequência, testes Qui-quadrado, Exato de Fisher, KolmogorovSmirnov e correlação de Pearson. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de cárie dentária foi de 78,9%. Houve associação estatisticamente signifi cativa entre presença de cárie avaliada através do índice ICDAS-II e a baixa percepção acerca da presença de cárie relatada pelos pais/responsáveis (p=0,025). No entanto, verifi cou-se correlação forte entre “número de dentes cavitados na criança” e “número de dentes com cárie relatada pelos pais” (r=0,605). CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de cárie dentária foi alta e os pais/responsáveis tendem a não reconhecer os estágios iniciais da doença. No entanto, esse conhecimento aumenta à medida que aumentam o número de cavitações dentárias na criança.

Published: October 2016

The use of computer technology in manufacturing industries can improve manufacturing flexibility significantly, especially in manufacturing processes; many software applications have been utilized to improve machining performance. However, none of them has discussed the abilities to perform direct machining. In this paper, an integrated system for remote operation and monitoring of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines is put into consideration. The integrated system includes computerization, network technology, and improved holding mechanism. The work proposed by this research is mainly on the software development for such integrated system. It uses Java three-dimensional (3D) programming and Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) at the client side for visualization of machining environment. This research is aimed at developing a control system to remotely operate and monitor a self-reconfiguration fixture mechanism of a CNC milling machine through internet connection and integration of Personal Computer (PC)-based CNC controller, a server side, a client side and CNC milling. The performance of the developed system was evaluated by testing with one type of common protocols particularly User Datagram Protocol (UDP).  Using UDP, the developed system requires 3.9 seconds to complete the close clamping, less than 1 second to release the clamping and it can deliver 463 KiloByte.

Published: October 2016

Modeling of a system is an important step for designing a good controller for a wheeled mobile robot. There are several techniques can be used gaining a model. One is deriving an analytical model mathematically. Another technique is by using system identification where the robot is given an input test signal and then measured the output signal. This technique, in general, is simpler compared to the analytic one. This paper described the modeling of a wheel mobile robot and used a gyroscope sensor as a feedback.The transfer function model of the robot is a second order system.
Nitrogen abundance in the Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies from SDSS
Authors: Vovk K.
Published: October 2016

We examined all of the galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) to select those with a detected OIII λ4363 emission line, which allows to derive electron temperatures in HII regions and element abundances by the direct method. We selected two sub-samples of galaxies: one with detected WR features in their spectra, and the other with the nebular HeII λ4686 emission line. We confirm the increase of the N/O abundance ratio with decrease of the equivalent width EW(Hβ) of the Hβ emission line. This result is explained by gradual nitrogen enrichment of the interstellar medium by ejecta from massive stars in the most recent starburst episode.
Fast radio bursts as electromagnetic radiation from cusps on superconducting cosmic strings
Authors: Zadorozhna L.
Published: October 2016

Cosmic strings are topological defects, relicts of the early Universe, which can be formed during phase transitions of fields with spontaneous broken symmetry. There also exists a special class of cosmic strings - superconducting cosmic strings, inside of which the massless charge carriers, so-called zero modes, are presented and can move along the string without any resistance. The superconducting cosmic strings during their relativistic motion through the cosmic plasma could be a powerful source of electromagnetic radiation. The emission of cusps on the superconducting strings is highly beamed and has the nature of bursts. In the present work, it is shown, that the millisecond extragalactic radio bursts, discovered during the last decade, called the fast radio bursts (FRB), with unknown nature, could be explained as radiation from cusps on superconducting cosmic strings. Estimates made for ten FRBs discovered till now show that bursts could be produced by a string with α=ΓGμ/c2∼ 5⋅10-13-10-12, where Γ ∼ 50 is a dimensionless parameter, G is the gravitational constant, c is the speed of light, μ is the mass per unit length of a string, which corresponds to the energy scale of the phase transition η∼1.2⋅1012-1.7⋅1012 GeV. The observed duration, flux and event rate are in a good agreement with the proposed model. In the framework of emission from cusps of superconducting cosmic string loops, probability of FRB detecting is estimated, which is found to be highly close to the probability of detecting, given by observational data.
Dynamics of dark energy in collapsing halo of dark matter
Authors: Tsizh M. , Novosyadlyj B.
Published: October 2016

We investigate the non-linear evolution of spherical density and velocity perturbations of dark matter and dark energy in the expanding Universe. For this we have used the conservation and Einstein equations to describe the evolution of gravitationally coupled inhomogeneities of dark matter, dark energy and radiation from the linear stage in the early Universe to the non-linear stage at the current epoch. A simple method of numerical integration of the system of non-linear differential equations for evolution of the central part of halo is proposed. The results are presented for the halo of cluster (k=2 Mpc-1) and supercluster scales (k=0.2 Mpc-1) and show that a quintessential scalar field dark energy with a low value of effective speed of sound cs<0.1 can have a notable impact on the formation of large-scale structures in the expanding Universe.
Holobiont assemblages of dominant coral species (Symbiodinium types and coral species) shape Caribbean reef community structure
Authors: Grajales Alejandro , Sanchez Juan Armando
Published: October 2016

Investigaciones de la estructura de comunidades coralinas sugieren que escalas espacio temporales cortas son responsables de patrones en ecosistemas marinos tropicales. La combinación coral y su zooxantela, u holobionte, puede ser la entidad ecológica modificada por estos factores. La estructura de la comunidad de corales podría ser mejor entendida usando el holobionte como unidad indivisible de la comunidad. Investigaciones recientes en diversidad de zooxantelas (Symbiodinium

spp.) han revelado asociaciones de tipo específicas, así como generalistas dependiendo del hospedero. Su distribución depende tanto del hospedero como de las condiciones ambientales. Este estudio determino la identidad molecular de estos simbiontes en comunidades de corales duros (Scleractinia y Milleporina) en 27 localidades en el talud arrecifal superior (zona mixta) en Cartagena, Colombia. La identificación de zooxantelas se realizó mediante análisis de RFLPs (18S, SSU, rDNA, por sus siglas en inglés), DGGE y secuenciación de ADN (ITS2, rDNA). Se encontró variación intra e intercolonial, dependiendo de la especie del hospedero. Se determinaron diferentes holobiontes, como diferentes unidades ecológicas. Estas unidades correspondían a una minoría en la diversidad de especies, pero dominantes (p.ej., Orbicella spp.). Tomando cada holobionte como variable, se realizó un análisis de la estructura comunitaria y fue comparado con un análisis tomando solamente las especies de coral. Mayores similitudes entre estaciones se encontraron cuando se usaron los holobiontes. Las especies dominantes O. annularis

y O. faveolata formaron en cada caso diferentes holobiontes, dependiendo de la profundidad. La preferencia hacia un tipo específico de zooxantela podría estar bajo mayor presión selectiva de lo que anteriormente se pensaba. © Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat. 2016.

Sea G un grupo de Lie compacto y conexo y PU(H) el grupo de operadores proyectivos e unitarios en un espacio de Hilbert separable e infinito dimensional H, provisto de la topología fuerte de operadores. Estudiamos el espacio homst(G,PU(H)) de homomorfismos continuos desde G a PU (H) que son estables, es decir homomorfismos cuyas representaciones inducidas contienen cada representación irreducible un número infinito de veces. Demostramos que las componentes conexas del espacio homst(G,PU(H)) están parametrizadas por las clases de isomorfía de extensiones centrales de

G por el grupo S1, y que cada componente conexa tiene por grupo fundamental al grupo hom(G,S1) y sus grupos de homotopía superiores son triviales. Estudiamos la aplicación conjugación PU(H)→homst(G,PU(H)),F→FαF−1 , demostramos que no tiene secciones locales y demostramos que para cualquier aplicación continua B→homst(G,PU(H)) con B paracompacto de dimensión paracompacta finita, los levantamientos locales a PU (H) sí existen. © Acad.

Distribution functions for a family of axially symmetric galaxy models.
Authors: González Guillermo A. , Pedraza Juan F. , Ramos-Caro Javier
Published: October 2016

Se presenta la derivación de funciones de distribución para los primeros cuatro miembros de una familia de discos, obtenida previamente en González and Reina (2006), la cual representa a una familia de modelos de galaxias axialmente simétricas de radio finito y con densidad superficial de masa bien comportada. Para ello, se emplean varios enfoques desarrollados a partir del par potencial-densidad y, utilizando esencialmente el método introducido por Kalnajs (1976), se obtienen algunas funciones de distribución que dependen de la integral de Jacobi. Ahora, ya que este método exige que la densidad de masa se pueda expresar adecuadamente como una función del potencial gravitacional, solo es posible hacer esto para los primeros cuatro discos de la familia. También encontramos otro tipo de funciones de distribución, comenzando con la parte par de las funciones de distribución anteriores y utilizando el principio de máxima entropía con el fin de encontrar la parte impar y por lo tanto una nueva función de distribución, como fue señalado por Dejonghe (1986). El resultado es una amplia variedad de estados de equilibrio correspondiente a varios modelos auto-consistentes de galaxias planas finitas. © Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat. 2016.
Una aproximación a la construcción de modelos matemáticos para la descripción de la naturaleza
Authors: Chejne J Farid
Published: October 2016

Se presenta una descripción de la forma como se afronta el problema de la abstracción mental, necesaria para el desarrollo de un modelo matemático, capaz de describir los fenómenos que rigen el comportamiento de la dinámica de procesos naturales, ante perturbaciones externas al sistema. Una breve revisión desde la dinámica fundamental de Liuoville en la escala cuántica y microscópica, hasta las ecuaciones de balance a escala macroscópica o ecuaciones de Navier-Stokes se ilustra en este artículo. Se resalta el hecho que dividir magnitudes físicas como la velocidad en dos partes, genera la posibilidad de saltar de un escala a otra y se reduce la complejidad y los grados de libertad. La complejidad, se construye a partir de unidades simples; de esta manera, los modelos se consideran una abstracción de la realidad en la que se le asigna una ecuación matemática en diferentes escalas, tanto temporal como espacial, para explicar cómo la naturaleza se comporta y cómo ella se moldea para lograr sus caprichosas formas. La naturaleza toma forma, respetando leyes que rigen su comportamiento ante la influencia ajena y hacen que los eventos naturales se orienten a través de la repetición de una unidad oculta, modificando la forma para adaptase, actuando con el menor gasto energético posible. © Acad.

Surveying Geology Concepts In Education Standards For A Rapidly Changing Global Context
Authors: Guffey Sarah K , Slater Stephanie J , Schleigh Sharon p , Slater Timothy F , Heyer Inge
Published: October 2016

Internationally much attention is being paid to which of a seemingly endless list of scientific concepts should be taught to schoolchildren to enable them to best participate in the global economy of the 21st Century. In regards to science education, the concepts framing the subject of geology holds exalted status as core scientific principles in the Earth and space sciences domain across the globe. Economic geology plays a critical role in the global economy, historical geology guides research into predictions related by global climate change, and environmental geology helps policy makers understand the impact of human enterprises on the land, among many other geological sciences-laden domains. Such a situation begs the question of which geology concepts are being advocated in schools. Within the U.S. where there is no nationally adopted curriculum, careful comparative analysis reveals surprisingly little consensus among policy makers and education reform advocates about which geology concepts, if any, should be included in the curriculum. This lack of consensus manifests itself in few traditional or modern geology concepts being taught to U.S. school children.
Billions Lost Yearly To Earned Income Tax Credit: Errors Or Fraud?
Authors: Barker Joel , Frederick Chadrick
Published: October 2016

The Earned Income Tax Credit is a refundable credit designed to assist working families with children; especially those who are considered to be living at or close to the poverty level. Over the last decade billions of dollars have been lost due to the improper application and fraudulent claims of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Critics believe that the program no longer serves its intended function because of the cumulative increase in the amounts lost each year; the legislation needs a major overhaul. The IRS have claimed that over 60 percent of the overpayments of EITC is due to manipulation of self-employed income and expenses, unqualified dependents being claimed, and misuse of single and head of household filing status. Even though the penalties for fraud and the lack of exercising due diligence are severe, these crimes continue to occur. While the tax authorities and other legislative bodies explore ways to combat these fraudulent claims, CPAs and other tax-preparers can assist in the fight against these crimes. As the de facto gatekeepers of the tax revenues, they are encouraged to exercise intensive due diligence and professional skepticism when claiming EITC for their clients.

Medicamentos Não Sujeitos a Receita Médica de Dispensa Exclusiva em Farmácia em Portugal: Uma Oportunidade de Acesso Sub-Aproveitada?
Authors: Martins Ana Paula , Gonçalves Elizabete , Marcelo Ana , Vilão Sergio , Silva José Aranda
Published: October 2016

Introdução: Em 2013 foi introduzida em Portugal a classificação quanto à dispensa de medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica de dispensa exclusiva em farmácia, uma subclassificação dos medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica. A existência desta classificação de medicamentos promove a acessibilidade aos medicamentos, garantindo a eficácia e a segurança na sua utilização, com benefícios para a saúde pública. O presente artigo analisa os medicamentos classificados como medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica de dispensa exclusiva em farmácia ou com classificação equivalente em sete países europeus, Reino Unido, Dinamarca, Suécia, Noruega, Itália, República Checa e Portugal, e propõe uma lista preliminar das denominações comuns internacionais/ medicamentos que reúnem características que justificariam a sua classificação, em Portugal, como medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica de dispensa exclusiva em farmácia.Material e Métodos: Para a seleção efetuada, foram analisadas, no universo dos medicamentos autorizados nos países em estudo denominações comuns internacionais/ apresentações que, em pelo menos num dos países considerados, se encontram classificadascomo medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica de dispensa exclusiva em farmácia ou categoria equivalente, e/ou têm a classificação de medicamentos sujeitos a receita médica em Portugal e medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica em algum dos países considerados.Resultados: A lista preliminar obtida continha 271 denominações comuns internacionais /apresentações diferentes. Cerca de 19% das denominações comuns internacionais selecionadas não possuíam uma autorização de introdução no mercado válida em Portugal e a maioria (42%) encontra-se classificada em Portugal como medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica, uma percentagem menor (35%) como medicamentos sujeitos a receita médica, e apenas 4% como medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica de dispensa exclusiva em farmácia.Conclusão: A segurança constitui um dos fatores mais relevantes a ter em conta no contexto da reclassificação dos medicamentos quanto à sua dispensa ao público. Os dados obtidos permitem uma reflexão acerca da pertinência do alargamento a nível nacional da disponibilidade de medicamentos com a classificação de medicamentos não sujeitos a receita médica de dispensa exclusiva em farmácia, que pelas suas características e indicações terapêuticas a que se destinam, beneficiariam de um acesso sem necessidade de prescrição médica, garantindo a segurança na sua utilização.
Quality of Life in Children with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Authors: Vieira Joana , Ramalho e Silva Filipa
Published: October 2016

Introduction: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a psychiatric disorder stated as one of the most debilitating diseases in the developedworld. However, not much is known about how this disease impairs patients’ quality of life in children.Material and Methods: We conducted a research in PubMed and Thomson Reuters Web Of Science using the following terms: ‘Quality of life’, ‘Obsessive-compulsive disorder’, ‘Child’, ‘Pediatrics’ and ‘Adolescent’. Of the 138 papers retrieved with this search, five articles corresponded to the aim of this review. We analyzed quality of life in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder comparing with general population and searching the relation with other clinical variables such as sex, age, comorbidities, symptoms dimension, symptoms severity, family accommodation and quality of life.Results: Albeit studies results not being concordant regarding the different dimensions analyzed, our findings pointed to an overall decrease of quality of life in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The presence of co-morbidities, symptoms severity and obsessions with harm/aggression content are the variables that have a higher influence in quality of life levels.Discussion: The small number of articles found and the fact that their methodology was extremely heterogeneous made it difficult to state robust conclusions. Despite that, our findings agree with other studies in adults.Conclusion: Quality of life in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder must be better explored in future researches. We suggest the introduction of quality of life as a routinely used instrument in patient’s assessment and in treatment response evaluation.

Potio, Amara. The Bracelet in the Attic. Cambridge: Educators Publishing Service, 2008. Print. The book is not very humorous but more serious at most times. I don't find that bad. I like authors that do this kind of thing. The author makes you kind of feel like your tagging along with the characters in this story which is very interesting. This book is more of a mystery solving kind of book - which are always interesting books to read sometimes.I find it interesting how you learn a thing or two about history. In this book you learn about the civil war, Battle of Gettysburg. More British soldiers died from getting sick than the actual conflict happening during that time. It is a very short mystery book but there are certain points in the book that make you question how the author thought of something like this. I would recommend this book to any 8th grader. 4/5 star rating.Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Aiden

Print.The book I chose is called Goodnight World – Animals of the Native Northwest.  The book has various authors but it was published in 2012 by Native Northwest.The book is about saying goodnight to different animals like bears, owls, wolverines, frogs, butterflies and turtles.  The book also shows many works of Art of the animals that we are saying goodnight to.I loved the moon and sun pictures in the background on every page.  I loved the picture of the octopus because it has the arms of an octopus and the head of an eagle.  The book was easy to read and the pictures were amazing.I wish the book was longer, had more animals in it and more words to read.  I wish it could have been a rhyming book because they are more fun to read.I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because the pictures are beautifully colored and drawn and the book is easy to read.  I would recommend this book to young children who love animals and cool pictures.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: KarmellaMy name is Karmella.  I like reading books about Art and my culture.  I love to read in the library and share books with my friends.  I think reading is important because you learn something new every time you read.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by J. Kinney - 1st review
Authors: BCR Nicholas
Published: October 2016

Kinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid. [Series]. New York: Amulet Books, 2007. Print.The book that I read was Diary of Wimpy Kid. The author is Jeff Kenny. The book was made in 2007 and the publisher is Amulet Books. The story is about a boy named Greg Hefley. This whole book is about his summer year. He lives with his two brothers Rodrick and Manny and his parents. This whole book is about his journal.  The thing I like about this book is when Greg meets Fregly because Fregly acts weird. What I also like is when Greg goes to camp and they make farting noises.  What I did not like about this book is that Jeff Kenny did not add color and it’s too easy to read. I rate this book 4 out of 5. Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: Nicholas    My name is Nicholas. I love to read non-fictional books like The Guiness Book of World Records.

Benton, Jim. Dear Dumb Diary. [Series]. New York: Scholastic. Print.I enjoy Dear Dumb Diary because it’s funny.  Her mom goes to the store then her and everyone else.

Once she cleaned her room, she got to stay in and have popcorn.  It’s not a bad book to read, some parts are good and some are boring. I really like "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" cause it’s funny and this book is along the lines of that idea. It just deals with the life of a girl. I rate this book at 4 out of 5 because it has some interesting information and it can sometimes be like my life.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: JerlaineMy name is Jerlaine. I like to read stories.

Augustus and Hazel fall in love but they don’t get to spend a lot of time together because Augustus's cancer makes him die!I liked that at some points in the book when it’s getting to sad it will get really funny! Or when the book seems real in my mind! I like that the book takes me to a whole new worldI didn’t like that Augustus dies right when things in life where getting good for them! I did not like that when Hazel goes to the place she dreamed going and to meet the guy who was there to tell her what it was about was a disappointment because the guy was mean and didn’t want to help her!My rating for the book would be four out of five.I would recommend this book to kids that are older than me because there are lots of hard words and some material that is hard to understand!Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: KiaraMy name is name Kiara and my favorite books to read are mystery and horror.

The book is about the ecosystem and some interesting facts about animals and the North American landscape and ecosystem. This book also tells facts and the near extinction of the black footed ferret one of the rarest creatures in North America. This book is also about how the ecosystem and the food web works and these fun facts are awesome and I like science.I love the facts and pictures in this book because they are scientifically factual. I also love the meaning and facts of this book and it’s about the ecosystem and food web also animals that live in the great prairies of North America like the Pronghorn antelope which eats sage and the nearly extinct black footed ferret which feeds on prairie dogs. About 271 black footed ferrets have been raised since 1987 to 2001 and 202 black footed ferrets have been released since 1987 to 2001 what a beautiful job people did.I have no complaints about this book except there is little information about the ecosystem and I hope the author Nancy Finton adds more information and detail to this book. Not a lot of information about the different ecosystems and habitats from different countries around the world and there is way too much about prairie dogs like really I want to know lots but too much information about prairie dogs![Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 stars]Reviewer: JacksonHello my name is Jackson and I like books about science and Nuclear physics and I think reading is important because we and our children will need knowledge and know everything we need to know so our lives can be easier in the future.
