Odontogenic Fibromyxoma of Maxilla: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Kant Chandra , Prajapati Virendra Kumar , Singh Vishwambhar , Tiwari Krishna Murari 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Odontogenic fibromyxoma, a myxoma with abundant collagen fibers, is a rare benign tumor of jaw which mostly affects posterior part of mandible. It is ectomesenchymal in origin and probably arises from connective tissue of dental follicle or papilla. Commonly occurs in 2nd or 3rd decade with slight female predilection. Radiological investigations, such as conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to differentiate it from other odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma. Management is surgical by enucleation and curettage or by en bloc resection and segmental maxillectomy. Follow-up of patient is must for at least 2 years to diagnose any recurrence. In this article, we present fibromyxoma of maxilla which is a very rare site for occurrence of fibromyxoma and this relatively rare condition has been discussed in light of recent information from literature with a case report.

Management of Nasal Dermoid Sinus Cyst by Modified Bipedicle Advancement Flap Technique
Authors: Devasamudra Chidananda Ramappa , Sagar Niveditha J 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Midline congenital nasal lesions are rarely encountered in adults. Nasal dermoid sinus cysts (NDSC) account for 1 to 3% of dermoid cysts overall and 11 to 12% of head and neck dermoids. Most lesions are diagnosed within the first 3 years of life but in some cases the diagnosis can be delayed. Nasal dermoid sinus cysts are unsightly, prone to infection. Treatment is complete surgical excision. We are presenting a case of 21-year-old man with a NDSC who presented with soft tissue hump over the bony nasal dorsum, recurrent infection and discharge from the two sinus openings over the bony nasal dorsum. We review the embryology of nasal dermoid sinus cysts, discuss their presentation, evaluation and management in adults. Radiological investigations like computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are essential to know the extension of the sinus tract and CNS involvement. Complete surgical excision and reconstruction of the defect over the bony nasal dorsum by modified bipedicle advancement flap technique will help to give esthetically good looking nose.

Effect of Household Denture Cleansers on Color Stability and Tensile Bond Strength of Two Different Heat Polymerized Acrylic Resins
Authors: Nadiger Ramesh , Meshramkar Roseline , Patankar Anupama Suresh , Bagchi Paulami 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Aim
Denture cleansers are used not only to clean dentures but also for disinfection of dentures. Among household denture cleansers, bleach (which contains sodium hypochlorite) and vinegar (which contains acetic acid) have been found to be powerful disinfecting agents. The objectives of this in vitro study were to evaluate and compare the color stability and tensile bond strength of Trevalon and Lucitone 199 heat-cured resins after immersing in household denture cleansers like 1% household bleach and 50% vinegar.

Methodology
A total of 48 Trevalon and Lucitone 199 heat- cure resin samples respectively were fabricated. The samples were divided into three groups of 16 samples each. They were immersed in 1% bleach, 50% vinegar and water (control) respectively. The samples were alternatively immersed in cleanser and water for 8 hours for 20 days simulating 30 days of use. At the end of 20 days, color stability and tensile strength were assessed with the help of spectro-guide and Instron universal testing machine respectively.

Results
Sodium hypochlorite and vinegar affected the color stability of Lucitone 199 heat-cure acrylic resin. The color of Trevalon heat-cure resin remained unaltered after immersion in both the cleansers. The change in tensile strength of both the resins was not significant after immersion in both the cleansers as compared with water which was used as control group.

Conclusion
This study concludes that for disinfection and cleansing of denture, sodium hypochlorite can be considered as long as the acrylic used is cross linked.

ABSTRACT

Aim
This article aims to provide comprehensive information related to the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic aid and its potential applications in dentistry.

Background
A study was done on 10 different patients with different findings, such as Radix entomolaris, calcifications, vertical root fracture, internal resorption, cystic lesion, perforation, radicular cyst, preparation for endo surgery. These all findings could not be diagnosed by two-dimensional (2D) imaging which were diagnosed with the help of CBCT.

Review results
Cone beam computed tomography is a revolutionary and innovative procedure that has changed the paradigms in the management of various endodontic conditions. Cone beam computed tomography offers speed and versatility to the practitioner and patient alike. Within few minutes of acquiring the scan, the dentist may fully explore the patient's three-dimensional (3D) image. The image can then be rotated, color-contrasted, and slices can be isolated and further analyzed. With its accurate and high-quality 3D representations, this technology offers tremendous improvements in diagnostic capabilities, eliminating surprises and minimizing the need for exploratory surgery.

Conclusion
Cone beam computed tomography is an invaluable endodontic tool for use before, during, and after treatment CBCT scanning drives diagnostic accuracy, which positively impacts clinical decisions, increases speed of treatment, and improves productivity and patient outcomes. In short, it has provided the greatest advancement in digital imaging over the past decade.

Clinical significance
When used for preoperative assessment, CBCT imaging provides highly detailed information on the entire tooth structure, including the location and number of canals, pulp chamber size and degree of calcification, curvature of root morphology, tooth and root fractures, inflammatory lesions and defects.

Multi-criteria decision-making for flood risk management: a survey of the current state of the art
Authors: de Brito Mariana Madruga , Evers Mariele 
Published: April 2016

Abstract. This paper provides a review of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) applications to flood risk management, seeking to highlight trends and identify research gaps. A total of 128 peer-reviewed papers published from 1995 to June 2015 were systematically analysed. Results showed that the number of flood MCDM publications has exponentially grown during this period, with over 82 % of all papers published since 2009. A wide range of applications were identified, with most papers focusing on ranking alternatives for flood mitigation, followed by risk, hazard, and vulnerability assessment. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was the most popular method, followed by Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Although there is greater interest in MCDM, uncertainty analysis remains an issue and was seldom applied in flood-related studies. In addition, participation of multiple stakeholders has been generally fragmented, focusing on particular stages of the decision-making process, especially on the definition of criteria weights. Therefore, addressing the uncertainties around stakeholders' judgments and endorsing an active participation in all steps of the decision-making process should be explored in future applications. This could help to increase the quality of decisions and the implementation of chosen measures.
Semiautomated object-based classification of rain-induced landslides with VHR multispectral images on Madeira Island
Authors: Heleno Sandra , Matias Magda , Pina Pedro , Sousa António Jorge 
Published: April 2016

Abstract. A method for semiautomated landslide detection and mapping, with the ability to separate source and run-out areas, is presented in this paper. It combines object-based image analysis and a support vector machine classifier and is tested using a GeoEye-1 multispectral image, sensed 3 days after a major damaging landslide event that occurred on Madeira Island (20 February 2010), and a pre-event lidar digital terrain model. The testing is developed in a 15 km2 wide study area, where 95 % of the number of landslides scars are detected by this supervised approach. The classifier presents a good performance in the delineation of the overall landslide area, with commission errors below 26 % and omission errors below 24 %. In addition, fair results are achieved in the separation of the source from the run-out landslide areas, although in less illuminated slopes this discrimination is less effective than in sunnier, east-facing slopes.
Improved GRACE regional mass balance estimates of the Greenland ice sheet cross-validated with the input–output method
Authors: Xu Zheng , Schrama Ernst J. O. , van der Wal Wouter , van den Broeke Michiel , Enderlin Ellyn M. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract. In this study, we use satellite gravimetry data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) to estimate regional mass change of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and neighboring glaciated regions using a least squares inversion approach. We also consider results from the input–output method (IOM). The IOM quantifies the difference between the mass input and output of the GrIS by studying the surface mass balance (SMB) and the ice discharge (D). We use the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model version 2.3 (RACMO2.3) to model the SMB and derive the ice discharge from 12 years of high-precision ice velocity and thickness surveys. We use a simulation model to quantify and correct for GRACE approximation errors in mass change between different subregions of the GrIS, and investigate the reliability of pre-1990s ice discharge estimates, which are based on the modeled runoff. We find that the difference between the IOM and our improved GRACE mass change estimates is reduced in terms of the long-term mass change when using a reference discharge derived from runoff estimates in several subareas. In most regions our GRACE and IOM solutions are consistent with other studies, but differences remain in the northwestern GrIS. We validate the GRACE mass balance in that region by considering several different GIA models and mass change estimates derived from data obtained by the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat). We conclude that the approximated mass balance between GRACE and IOM is consistent in most GrIS regions. The difference in the northwest is likely due to underestimated uncertainties in the IOM solutions.

New species of Monepidosis Mamaev, 1966 and Antipodosis gen. nov., a closely related genus from New Zealand (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae)
Authors: Jaschhof Mathias 
Published: April 2016

Three new species of Monepidosis Mamaev, 1966, a Holarctic genus of Porricondylinae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), are described: M. heterocera sp. nov. from Sweden and Germany, M. scepteroides sp. nov. from Sweden, and M. shikokuensis sp. nov. from Japan. A new porricondyline genus, Antipodosis gen. nov., is introduced for eight new species from New Zealand, named A. australis gen. et sp. nov., A. elongata gen. et sp. nov., A. granvillensis gen. et sp. nov., A. pureora gen. et sp. nov., A. rakiura gen. et sp. nov., A. rotoiti gen. et sp. nov., A. rotoroa gen. et sp. nov., and A. waipapa gen. et sp. nov. Male genitalic morphology indicates that Monepidosis and Antipodosis gen. nov. are closely related, together forming the Monepidosis group of genera, which stands out from the other Porricondylini. Monepidosis spatulata Spungis, 2006, a species originally described from Latvia and Lithuania, is for the first time reported to occur in Sweden.

Published: April 2016

Context.—Despite great interest in using whole slide imaging (WSI) in pathology practice and education, few pathology journals have published WSI pertinent to articles within their pages or as supplemental materials.Objective.—To evaluate whether there is measurable added educational value of including WSI in publications.Design.—Thirty-seven participants, 16 (43.3%), 15 (40.5%), and 6 (16.2%) junior pathology residents (postgraduate year 1–2), senior pathology residents (postgraduate year 3–4), and board-certified pathologists, respectively, read a sequence of 10 journal articles on a wide range of pathology topics. A randomized subgroup also reviewed the WSI published with the articles. Both groups completed a survey tool assessing recall of text-based content and of image-based material pertinent to the diseases but not present in the fixed published images.Results.—The group examining WSI had higher performance scores in 72% of image-based questions (36 of 50 questions) as compared with the non-WSI group. As an internal study control, the WSI group had higher performance scores in only 40% of text-based questions (6 of 15 questions). The WSI group had significantly better performance than the non-WSI group for image-based questions compared with text-based questions (P &lt; .05, Fisher exact test).Conclusion.—Our study provides supporting evidence that WSI offers enhanced value to the learner beyond the text and fixed images selected by the author. We strongly encourage more journals to incorporate WSI into their publications.
Spin-transfer-torque-assisted magnetization reversal in spin-valve strips using the spin-pumping effect
Authors: Takahashi Mao , Nozaki Yukio 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The modulation of a switching field by a spin-transfer torque generated by the spin-pumping effect is demonstrated in spin-valve strips. A spin current pumped into a spin valve prefers an antiparallel configuration of magnetization, so that the hysteresis loop of a soft magnetic layer is shifted by applying an alternating-current magnetic field with a frequency that matched the resonant condition of a hard magnetic layer. Furthermore, we confirmed that an alternating spin current generated by the spin pumping in the hard magnetic layer produces an orthogonal magnetic torque that can reduce the coercive field of the soft magnetic layer.

Published: April 2016

Abstract
The deposition conditions of (100) rutile TiO2 grown on p-type (100) Ge substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were optimized to improve the electrical properties of the TiO2/Ge structure. Increasing the substrate temperature (T
sub) enhanced the grain growth, the surface roughness of the film, and Ge diffusion into the TiO2 layer. The growth rate, which was controlled by the laser density in PLD (L
d), affected the Ge diffusion. L
d of 0.35 J/cm2 (0.37 nm/min) enhanced the Ge diffusion and improved the crystallinity and surface roughness at a temperature of 450 °C, at which GeO
x
undergoes decomposition and desorption. However, the Ge diffusion into TiO2 degraded the electrical properties. By using the optimized conditions (L
d = 0.7 J/cm2 and T
sub = 420 °C) with postannealing, the TiO2/Ge structure showed an improvement in the leakage current of 3 orders of magnitude and the capacitance–voltage property characteristics indicated the formation of a p–n junction.

Published: April 2016

Abstract
Here, water-soluble hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched poly(amino ester) (HBPAE)-capped titanium dioxide nanocrystals (TiO2 NCs) were synthesized for coating a cotton fabric via an amino-terminated hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) (HBPAA)-mediated self-assembly strategy in order to produce a controllable and uniform TiO2 coating on the cotton surface. As-prepared TiO2 NCs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was demonstrated that hydroxyl-modified TiO2 NCs were egg-shaped and had a narrow size distribution. A TiO2 NC-coated cotton fabric was prepared by sequential impregnation with solutions of HBPAAs and TiO2 NCs. The attachment of HBPAAs to TiO2 NCs was evaluated by FTIR. It was shown that HBPAAs were chemically bound to the cotton surface. FESEM and XRD characterizations demonstrated that TiO2 NCs could self-assemble on a cotton fabric efficiently and were distributed uniformly on the cotton surface.
