Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The regional seismic phase Lg is an important tool for investigating bulk crustal property and discriminating seismic sources. In this study, we used Lg efficiency data from the Middle East to develop a Bayesian logistic regression model to predict the probabilities of Lg blockage. This approach provides us with a quantitative way to map the regions of Lg blockage as well as a method to reliably predict the likelihood of blockage. We observe blockage zones in the oceanic crust like the south Caspian Sea. We also observe high probabilities of Lg blockage in the continental orogenic belts, like the western Greater Caucasus, and moderate to high probabilities over most continental collisional boundaries. The high-probability patterns around the continental collision plate boundaries are dominated by long-distance Lg waves. The probability tomography model also suggests that the continental collisional processes would not necessarily block Lg but highly affect Lg propagation, especially for longer paths, due to crustal intrinsic attenuation (eastern Anatolia) or the scattering effect from changes in crustal waveguide (Zagros).

: To evaluate width of buccal corridor space in patients with skeletal class I, class II and class III malocclusion and to find out whether the skeletal malocclusion in sagittal plane can affect the width of buccal corridor space.: Smile analysis has been treated as a separate entity from cephalometrics and cast analysis in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The transverse dimension of smile refers to the broadness of smile or the presence or absence of buccal corridor space. Buccal corridor space is nothing but the distance between the distal point of the canines and the lateral junction of upper and lower lips during smiling. Buccal corridor space has been thought of primarily in terms of maxillary width, but there is also evidence that they are heavily influenced by the anteroposterior position of maxilla in relation to lip drape. 30 patients between the ages of 18 to 30 years were included in the study. Based on ANB angle this patient were divided into 3 groups i.e., Skeletal class I, class II and class III malocclusion. Photographic analysis:Posed smile photographs of patients of age between 18 to 30 years made under standardized conditions were used for analysis to determine buccal corridor space.: Transverse dimension is said to be a function of both arch width and antero-posterior position of the maxillary and mandibular arches.The results of this study show that there exist a correlation between malocclusion in sagittal plane and the amount of buccal corridor space. This fact must be considered during the orthodontic evaluation, diagnosis and planning of treatment for individuals with different types of malocclusions. This study's results show a correlation between malocclusion in sagittal plane and the amount of buccal corridor space. This fact must be considered during the orthodontic evaluation, diagnosis, and planning of treatment for individuals with different types of malocclusions.

Clear aligner therapy(CAT) ses a variety of appliances with different applications to different malocclusion therapies and differing modes of action and construction methods. While clear aligner therapy seems very easy to use, but any kind of aligner system needs to go through a rigorous laboratory process to get the desired results. With the help of CAT Therapy products, a variety of malocclusions have been effectively treated. Clear aligners are still frequently made using the thermoforming process, despite the range of 3D Printed clear aligner systems that are currently on the market. However, orthodontists need to be aware of the materials' post-process mechanical and chemical properties because the thermoforming process significantly affects the aligners' mechanical and chemical properties. Thus, the goal of my research is to compare the adaptation and marginal thickness of aligners produced using various thermoforming machines both before and after intraoral exposure. Aim of this study is to compare the thickness, adaptability, and marginal fit of orthodontic aligners made by various thermoformed machines. The sample size was determined using G power software, which showed that the sample size of six patients divided into four groups had a 95% power of statistical testing. 3 consecutive patients, three women(mean age ± SD 26.0 ± 10.2 years) and three men(mean age ± SD 26.0 ± 9.0 years) per group made up the study sample, Statistical analysis: The statistical analysis used was paired t-tests for comparison between the groups. A one-way ANOVA test was used to calculate the mean difference among the four groups. The p-value &#60;0.05 shows that it was statistically significant. Both the thermoforming machines can used to fabricate aligners that are equally good in terms of thickness considering the manufacturing recommendation. However, Aligner fabricated using Ministar thermoforming machine(Group A) with 1 mm thickness sheets shows that Mild changes thickness throughout the aligners in incisor and canine and molar regions and Druformat with shows uniformly distributed(group B) thickness in incisor, canine and molar region. between intra group comparison group shows mild changes after intraoral exposure. but the values within clinical tolerance level.: Two distinct thermoforming machines were used to fabricate the passive aligners, and the overall dimensional accuracy at each of the teeth was within clinical tolerances. However, location-specific deviations that may affect clinical utility may not always be represented by the overall deviations.

The aim of the study is to establish a correlations between MPP-DPP metrics, ANB angle and Witts appraisal, as well as to determine whether perpendicular drawn from the centroids of the premaxilla(M) and mandibular symphysis(D) to the palatal plane can be utilised for identifying sagittal dysplasia in lateral cephalometric radiographs. Orthodontic diagnoses has relied heavily on radiographic cephalometry. The limited validity of current assessment techniques, vertical jaw relationships, and growth-related jaw rotations have made evaluating sagittal jaw relationships difficult and also they are less vulnerable to factors that could compromise accuracy and have a reduced measurement error, linear measurements have clear advantages over angular measurements. : lateral cephalometric radiographs of 90 individuals were included in this study and were divided into 3 groups based on their sagittal relationship,(Class 1, class 2, class 3). A perpendicular was drawn from point M(centroid of premaxilla) and point D(centroid of mandibular symphysis) to the palatal plane and the linear distance measured was compared to ANB and Witts appraisal. The mean MPP -DPP values in Class I subjects was 3.222 ± 1.435, Class II subjects was 8.672 ± 2.443, and in Class III subjects was -6.410 ± 2.535 and this mean difference between 3 Skeletal classes was statistically significant at p&#60;0.001. Additionally, the study showed a positive correlation between M-PP/D-PP metrics, ANB and Witts appraisal. This study showcases the promise of MPP-DPP metrics as supplementary indicators in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The strong positive correlations identified between MPP-DPP, ANB, and Wits appraisal underscore their value in evaluating sagittal jaw relationships.

Orthodontic therapy is known to enhance the general well-being and self-esteem of patients but people with Systemic illnesses necessitate taking specific precautions before, during, and/or after orthodontic treatment. With the advent of social media and increased awareness of facial appearance, all people including patients with compromised health are eager to seek orthodontic therapy. In this study aims to understand the perception of orthodontic care towards medically compromised patients in senior orthodontic students, postgraduate orthodontic students, and general dental practitioners. 352 dental professionals—senior orthodontic practitioners, post-graduate orthodontic practitioners, general practitioners, and PG students of other specialties in India—were randomly chosen for this cross-sectional study to evaluate their perception of orthodontic care for patients with SHCN. Both online survey links and offline forms were distributed and collected over a period of six months throughout the network. The significance level for each test used in the data entry, collection, and analysis is P&#60;0.005. The overall knowledge of general practitioners and other specialty PG students was low. Although postgraduates from other branches were aware of a few scenarios, the senior orthodontics practitioners were aware of most situations due to their experience. There was no significant difference in the knowledge between senior orthodontic practitioners and postgraduate orthodontic students. The orthodontic supervision for medically compromised patients’ awareness has to be raised. There should be a lot more seminars and lectures, especially for dental graduates and postgraduates.(Abbreviations- SHCN-Special health care needs, GDPs- general dental practitioners, NSAIDs- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, X- Pearson’s Chi-Square test).

Published: November 2024

Background: Nigrospora is one of the diversified pathogens with wide host range. Endophytic nature of Nigrospora oryzae has been reported previously. Daily variations in the climate led to the emergence of virulent infections from previously expressed weak ones. Nigrospora oryzae infestation comes as a major biotic stress under this present investigation. Methods: A study was conducted to examine the variability of Nigrospora oryzae by collecting isolates from various locations in the south coastal region of Odisha. The level of virulence was assessed and analyzed between 2021 and 2023 to anticipate the emergence and progression of disease. The pathogen was identified using molecular techniques through ITS-r DNA sequencing method. Result: Disease incidence was observed as a critical blast-like appearance, but greater in size, distinguishing it from blast. In the experiment, incomplete filling of grains was highest in MTU-7029 (39.73 plant-1) followed by Niranjana and Gobindobhog; disease incidence was recorded to be highest in Niranjana (60.03%) followed by MTU-7029 and Barsha; and grain yield plant-1 was observed to be highly affected in Gobindobhog (14.58 g plant-1 followed by MTU-7029 and Niranjana.

Published: November 2024

Fundamental frequency (f0) stability is generally assumed to be an attribute of the singing voice, though it can also be found in speech. In a previous work, it was found that sung sentences performed with relative freedom within MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) style show less f0 variability in comparison with their spoken counterparts and, for this reason, we account for f0 stability to be an important acoustic feature that distinguishes singing from speech. The current study is complementary to the previous study whose results statistically confirmed the hypothesis that singing has a more stable f0 than speech. Our aim with the perpetual experiment is to verify whether the stability feature is perceived by naïve listeners. 36 listeners were asked to classify sentences spoken by actresses and sung by singers from four available answers, choosing only one of them. The dataset used for the perceptual stimuli was formed by four textual units comprising 25 spoken and 25 sung sentences uttered respectively by an actress and a singer and was a representative part of the previous study full dataset. Listeners' classification obtained for each sentence was compared to the f0 variation of this same sentence. Statistical analysis was done by means of a discrete choice model (DCM) aiming to verify whether f0 variance could be an attribute for listeners to choose between one of the four responses. The result indicates a statistically significant (Pr (> |z| 2.22e-16) relationship between f0 stability and the singing classification. The discussion takes listeners' impressions about the test and the conclusion indicates that the current finding is empirical evidence of cognitive aspects of stability in music.
The Effect of Heat on Some Mechanical Properties of Igneous Rocks
Authors: Barbish A. B. , Gardner G. H. F. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The elastic moduli of most igneous rocks are greatly reduced by heating and depend, at room temperature, on the highest temperature to which they have been previously heated. This phenomenon was investigated by measuring velocity, attenuation, bending strength, and point penetration as functions of moisture content, pore pressure, confining pressure, and highest previous temperature for a series of gabbro samples from French Creek, Pa. It was concluded that heating introduces a system of macrocracks between grains that is distinct from a system of microcracks that exists within grains. Thus bending strength is reduced by the introduction of macrocracks, but resistance to indentation, which depends on the microcracks, is not.
It is suggested that from the measurement of velocity and attenuation alone, the macro and microcracks can be detected and distinguished.

Abstract

Macrophages are crucial in the body's inflammatory response, with tightly regulated functions for optimal immune system performance. Our study reveals that the RAS-p110α signalling pathway, known for its involvement in various biological processes and tumorigenesis, regulates two vital aspects of the inflammatory response in macrophages: the initial monocyte movement and later-stage lysosomal function. Disrupting this pathway, either in a mouse model or through drug intervention, hampers the inflammatory response, leading to delayed resolution and the development of more severe acute inflammatory reactions in live models. This discovery uncovers a previously unknown role of the p110α isoform in immune regulation within macrophages, offering insight into the complex mechanisms governing their function during inflammation and opening new avenues for modulating inflammatory responses.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

In a collisionless plasma environment, wave-particle interaction is an important process that enables efficient energy exchange between particles and phase-coherent waves. We first discovered two layers bridge-like arcs structure in the energy spectrum formed by the simultaneous anomalous resonance interaction of Electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves with protons and He+ by Magnetospheric Multiscale mission observations. Meanwhile, our analysis results illustrate that the existence of distinct energy conversion between particles and Electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves by using the Wave-Particle Interaction Analyzer. Although accounting for corrections to the traditional resonance condition, the resonance energy between protons（H+）and EMIC waves remains significantly higher than the observed values, indicating that the interaction between protons and EMIC waves is an anomalous resonance process. In contrast, the resonance energy between He+ and EMIC waves is closer to the observed values, the observed parallel velocity of the particles is lower than the resonance velocity, meaning it still qualifies as anomalous resonance.

Abstract

Background
Winter wheat is a crucial crop in Xinjiang; however, the region’s arid conditions present a challenge to water scarcity. Enhancing water usage efficiency through limited irrigation can ensure the sustainable production of winter wheat in Xinjiang; however, research is limited. Wide-narrow row sowing methods conserve water and increase yield in drip-irrigated winter wheat.
Methods: Field experiments were conducted with varying sowing methods and irrigation amounts in the northern Xinjiang region during 2022–2023.
Results: The dry matter weight per plant in the wide-narrow row treatments was higher than that in the equal spacing treatments. The spike length and number of grains in a spike in the wide-narrow row treatments were higher than those of the equal spacing treatment, and the number of non-fruitful spikelets decreased. Additionally, the number of spikes per unit area, number of grains per spike, and yield in the treatment with spacing of 10 cm + 10 cm + 10 cm + 30 cm (M2) and drip irrigation of 3600 m3/hm2 (D1) were significantly higher than those of the control. This study showed that M2D1 was the optimal combination, and the results are of guiding significance for increasing winter wheat yield whilst conserving water.

Abstract

To meet performance requirements, the next generation of gas separation membranes will need both high gas permeability and selectivity, attainable if we could coax adsorbates to minimize random Brownian motion into direction-specific diffusion along a desired axis. In this first-principles computational study, we detail how direction-specific diffusion of CO2 can be achieved in chiral hexagonal boron nitride nanotubes (hBNNTs) where the chirality introduces a molecular-level “spin” on CO2 molecules to align the CO2 molecules along the nanotube axis and minimize interactions with the pore wall, resulting in increased axial diffusion. hBNNTs with chiral rifling patterns exhibit CO2 diffusion rates faster than non-chiral tubes of comparable and larger diameters. Of the hBNNTs studied, the (7,3) tube appears to be ideally sized (3.7 Å radius) and exhibits a spinning CO2 diffusing 2.06 times faster than a tumbling N2 by means of a new means of non-Knudsen mechanism. Calculations of a hypothetical sheet membranes prepared with the aligned chiral (7,3) hBBNT have a CO2/N2 permselectivity of 103 and a CO2 permeance of nearly 800,000 Barrer, providing potential to surpass the Robeson upper bound for CO2.
