Authors: Anusha CV , Singh Amith A , Sangwan Babita , Shilpa M , Kamath Akshata G 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Aim
The present study was aimed to assess the transferability of occlusal plane (OP) orientation from the patient to the articulators with the help of two different facebow systems and evaluated with a gold standard.

Materials and methods
Twenty dentate patients were selected for the study. Two semi-adjustable arcon articulators that are Hanau Wide® Vue using SpringBow and Whip Mix® using quickmount facebow were used in the study. Mean angle between OP to horizontal reference plane obtained from Hanau Wide Vue articulator system (SpringBow using Orbitale as anterior reference point) and Whip Mix articulator system (quickmount facebow using nasion as anterior reference point) was tabulated. These values obtained were further compared with each other and evaluated against cephalometric evidence, which was considered as the gold standard for the study. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, Scheffe post hoc analysis for group comparison, and level of significance (P) was calculated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16 (IBM, New York, USA) software program.

Results
Intragroup comparison of mean angle OP values showed highly significant difference (p = 0.000). Comparison between Hanau Wide Vue articulator system and Whip Mix articulator system showed statistically highly significant with a mean difference of 10.51° with Hanau system values being lower than Whip Mix system. Difference between Hanau system and cephalometric values were statistically significant with a mean difference of 2.835° and Hanau system consistently recording lower values than cephalometric values. Difference between Whip Mix system and cephalometric values was also statistically significant with a mean difference of 7.680° with group 2 values were on average 7.680° higher than group 3.

Conclusion
Within the limitations of this study, the Hanau system and Whip Mix system showed significant difference in reproduction of angle between OP and horizontal reference plane. Hanau articulator system showed closer values to that of cephalometric values in comparison with Whip Mix articulator system.

Clinical significance
Orientation of the maxillary cast in an articulator is a crucial part of several techniques used in dentistry. Orientation of maxillary cast in the articulator acts as a baseline from which further steps for occlusal rehabilitation of the patients are carried out. Recording and transferring of the occlusal cant to articulators require facebow.

Chemical Plaque Control Strategies in the Prevention of Biofilm-associated Oral Diseases
Authors: Anil Sukumaran , Bhandi Shilpa H , Chalisserry Elna P , Jafer Mohammed , Hosmani Jagadish 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTDental plaque is a biofilm that forms naturally on the surfaces of exposed teeth and other areas of the oral cavity. It is the primary etiological factor for the most frequently occurring oral diseases, such as dental caries and periodontal diseases. Specific, nonspecific, and ecologic plaque hypothesis explains the causation of dental and associated diseases. Adequate control of biofilm accumulation on teeth has been the cornerstone of prevention of periodontitis and dental caries. Mechanical plaque control is the mainstay for prevention of oral diseases, but it requires patient cooperation and motivation; therefore, chemical plaque control agents act as useful adjuvants for achieving the desired results. Hence, it is imperative for the clinicians to update their knowledge in chemical antiplaque agents and other developments for the effective management of plaque biofilm-associated diseases. This article explores the critical analysis of various chemical plaque control strategies and the current trends in the control and prevention of dental plaque biofilm.How to cite this articleJafer M, Patil S, Hosmani J, Bhandi SH, Chalisserry EP, Anil S.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Aim
To make use of fiber-reinforced composite and the patient's own extracted teeth in fabricating a provisional restoration following immediate implant placement.

Background
Fiber-reinforced composites offer various possibilities in temporization of osseointegrating implants in the esthetic zone.

Technique
In this chairside technique, the patient's own extracted teeth with fiber-reinforced composite were used to fabricate a provisional restoration after immediate implant placement.

Conclusion
A putty index was made before extracting the teeth and placing the implants as planned. The index and crowns of the extracted teeth were used to make a nonloading, esthetic, chairside provisional restoration after immediate implant placement.

Clinical significance
By using the patient's own teeth for provisionalization immediately after implant placement, acceptance is greatly enhanced.

Translating and Transforming Utopia into the Mandarin Context: Case Studies from China and Taiwan
Authors: Liu Yi-Chun 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
As of 2016—five hundred years after Utopia was first published—ten editions and nine translators have been involved in various efforts to transfer More's canonical work into the Mandarin linguistic and cultural context. Despite the seeming abundance of translated Mandarin versions of the work, a systematic study on Utopia has unfortunately never been part of mainstream academia, in either China or Taiwan. This article is an attempt to draw attention to some case studies that demonstrate how Utopia—through translation and paratexts—has stayed alive and active. Like all other translations of Utopia, each of the Mandarin editions is packaged differently, sometimes without many paratexts and at other times with surprisingly copious supplements. This article discusses how Utopia as a term and as a literary work has been perceived and translated into Mandarin. By examining translation and paratext as a set of More's textual legacy in reference to select case studies, it evaluates the translatability of Utopia during the process of linguistic—and cultural—transferal.

The stunning and slaughter of cattle within the EU: a review of the current situation with regard to the halal market
Authors: Fuseini A , Knowles TG , Lines JA , Hadley PJ , Wotton SB 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThe slaughter of animals for the halal market is both ethically and economically significant. There are animal welfare and spiritual requirements that must be met for meat to be considered fit for Muslim consumption. These requirements are enshrined in Islamic law, known commonly as the Shariah law, derived from commandments in the Holy Quran and the Hadith (teachings or traditions of the Prophet of Islam, Mohammed, Peace Be Upon Him). Islamic jurists widely interpret the Shariah law differently, and this has led to debate as to whether pre-slaughter stunning is acceptable for halal slaughter. This paper reviews how these laws are interpreted and implemented and reviews the methods of stunning accepted by proponents of halal stunning. It also describes why some proponents of halal stunning do not accept irreversible stunning methods for producing halal beef within the EU, a situation which has meant that thousands of halal cattle are slaughtered without any form of stunning.
Patterning of graphene for flexible electronics with remote atmospheric-pressure plasma using dielectric barrier
Authors: Kim Duk Jae , Park Jeongwon , Han Jeon Geon 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
We show results of the patterning of graphene layers on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films through remote atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma. The size of plasma discharge electrodes was adjusted for large-area and role-to-role-type substrates. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used to analyze the characteristics of charge species in atmospheric-pressure plasma. The OES emission intensity of the O2* peaks (248.8 and 259.3 nm) shows the highest value at the ratio of

due to the highest plasma discharge. The PET surface roughness and hydrophilic behavior were controlled with CDA flow rate during the process. Although the atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment of the PET film led to an increase in the FT-IR intensity of C–O bonding at 1240 cm−1, the peak intensity at 1710 cm−1 (C=O bonding) decreased. The patterning of graphene layers was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
Improved extension of depth-of-field performance by apodized wavefront coding
Authors: Tsukasaki Takafumi , Komatsu Shinchi 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Wavefront coding (WFC) is a popular technique for extending the depth of field (DOF), where the DOF is extended by the phase modulation of the pupil function using a phase mask and digital processing using a deconvolution filter. We previously proposed an apodized WFC system with a Gaussian aperture that extends the DOF while suppressing artifacts in the reconstructed image. In this study, the influence of aberrations on the proposed WFC system was examined in detail by computer simulation. Then, the image quality was experimentally examined to confirm the effectiveness of the apodized WFC system. In addition, we proposed a new type of aperture, i.e., a generalized Gaussian aperture, to prevent the significant reduction in transmitted light intensity due to apodization, the effectiveness of which was confirmed by computer simulation.
Measurement of duration and signal‐to‐noise ratio of astronomical transients using a Spectral Kurtosis spectrometer
Authors: Nita Gelu M. , Gary Dale E. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractFollowing our prior theoretical and instrumental work addressing the problem of automatic real‐time radio frequency interference (RFI) detection and excision from astronomical signals, the wideband Spectral Kurtosis (SK) spectrometer design we proposed is currently being considered as an alternative to the traditional spectrometers when building the new generation of radio instruments. The unique characteristic of an SK spectrometer is that it accumulates both power and power‐squared, which are then used to compute an SK statistical estimator proven to be very effective in detecting and excising certain types of RFI signals. In this paper we introduce a novel measurement technique that exploits the power and power square statistics of an SK spectrometer to determine durations and signal‐to‐noise ratios of transient signals, whether they are RFI or natural signals, even when they are below the time resolution of the instrument. We demonstrate this novel experimental technique by analyzing a segment of data recorded by the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array Subsystem Testbed (EST) during a solar radio burst in which microwave spike bursts occurred with durations shorter than the 20 ms time resolution of the instrument. The duration of one well‐observed spike is quantitatively shown to be within a few percent of 8 ms despite the 20 ms resolution of the data.

Published: July 2016

AbstractUtilizing conjunction observations of the Geotail and ACE satellites from 1998 to 2005, we investigated the temporal evolutions of the solar wind conditions prior to the formation of X lines in the near‐Earth magnetotail. We first show the statistical properties of Bz, By, density, and velocity of the solar wind related to the 374 tail X line events. A superposed epoch analysis is performed to study the temporal evolutions of the solar wind conditions 5 h prior to the tail X lines. The solar wind conditions for tail X lines during southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) (SW‐IMF) and northward IMF (NW‐IMF) are analyzed. The main results are as follows: (1) For events classified as SW‐IMF, near‐Earth X line observations in the magnetosphere are preceded by ~2 h intervals of southward IMF; (2) for events classified as NW‐IMF, the northward IMF orientation preceding near‐Earth X line observations lasts ~ 40 min.

Published: July 2016

AbstractThe statistical properties of ULF waves observed upstream of Venus foreshock are investigated. The study is restricted to waves which are observed well below the local proton cyclotron frequency. Using the magnetic field observations from Venus Express between May 2006 and February 2012, 115 quasi‐monochromatic ULF wave trains have been identified. Statistical results show that the wave periods are mainly from 20 to 30 s in the spacecraft frame, which is about 2–3 times of the local proton cyclotron period. The transverse power dominates the power spectrum, and most of the waves display nearly circular or slightly elliptical polarization in the spacecraft frame. Moreover, these ULF waves mainly have small relative amplitudes with respect to the ambient field magnitude B0 for parallel component (δB||/B0 less than 0.3), while the range of relative amplitudes for perpendicular component δB⊥/B0 is from ~0.1 to ~1.0. Wave propagation angles are mainly less than 30° with respect to the mean magnetic field direction. The obtained results are very similar to the wave properties seen for ULF waves present in the terrestrial foreshock, which suggests that backstreaming ions in the Venusian foreshock form an important energy source for the generation of the waves.
Please be Honest and Provide Evidence: Deterrents of Deception in an Online Insurance Fraud Context
Authors: Leal Sharon , Vrij Aldert , Nahari Galit , Mann Samantha 
Published: July 2016

SummaryThe present experiment examined whether people could be deterred from lying in an online insurance claim setting. A total of 96 participants were asked to submit a theft insurance claim. Reflecting real life, submitting a claim that went beyond the actual costs of the stolen items was associated with advantages and disadvantages. Two deterrence factors were introduced: asking claimants to provide evidence that they actually owned the stolen items (Evidence Instruction, often used by insurers) and asking participants to read out before starting to submit the claim that they will be truthful (Honesty Statement, not often used by insurers). We also examined at what stage of the interview claimants embedded their lies in their otherwise truthful stories. The honesty statement but not the evidence instruction made claimants more honest, and participants lied more as the interview progressed. © 2016 The Authors Applied Cognitive Psychology Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
Covalent Chemical 5′‐Functionalization of RNA with Diazo Reagents
Authors: Gampe Christian M. , Hollis‐Symynkywicz Micah , Zécri Frédéric 
Published: July 2016

AbstractFunctionalization of RNA at the 5′‐terminus is important for analytical and therapeutic purposes. Currently, these RNAs are synthesized de novo starting with a chemically functionalized 5′‐nucleotide, which is incorporated into RNA using chemical synthesis or biochemical techniques. Methods for direct chemical modification of native RNA would provide an attractive alternative but are currently underexplored. Herein, we report that diazo compounds can be used to selectively alkylate the 5′‐phosphate of ribo(oligo)nucleotides to give RNA labelled through a native phosphate ester bond. We applied this method to functionalize oligonucleotides with biotin and an orthosteric inhibitor of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), an enzyme involved in mRNA recognition. The modified RNA binds to eIF4E, demonstrating the utility of this labelling technique to modulate biological activity of RNA. This method complements existing techniques and may be used to chemically introduce a broad range of functional handles at the 5′‐end of RNA.
Cyclodextrins 3‐Functionalized with 8‐Hydroxyquinolines: Copper‐Binding Ability and Inhibition of Synuclein Aggregation
Authors: Oliveri Valentina , Sgarlata Carmelo , Vecchio Graziella 
Published: July 2016

AbstractNeurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are multifactorial disorders related to protein aggregation, metal dyshomeostasis, and oxidative stress. To advance understanding in this area and to contribute to therapeutic development, many efforts have been directed at devising suitable agents that can target metal ions associated with relevant biomolecules such as α‐synuclein. This paper presents a new cyclodextrin–8‐hydroxyquinoline conjugate and discusses the properties of four cyclodextrins 3‐functionalized with 8‐hydroxyquinoline as copper(II) chelators and inhibitors of copper‐induced synuclein aggregation. The encouraging results establish the potential of cyclodextrin–8‐hydroxyquinoline conjugates as chelators for the control of copper toxicity.

AbstractAnacetrapib is a potent and selective CETP inhibitor and is undergoing phase III clinical trials for the treatment of dyslipidemia. A simple and sensitive high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) method for the quantification of anacetrapib in rat plasma was developed and validated using an easily purchasable compound, chlorpropamide, as an internal standard (IS). A minimal volume of rat plasma sample (20 μL) was prepared by a single‐step deproteinization procedure with 80 μL of acetonitrile. Chromatographic separation was performed using Kinetex C18 column with a gradient mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Mass spectrometric detection was performed using selected reaction monitoring modes at the mass/charge transitions m/z 638 → 283 for anacetrapib and m/z 277 → 175 for IS. The assay was validated to demonstrate the selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect and stability. The lower limit of quantification was 5 ng/mL. This LC‐MS/MS assay was successfully applied in the rat plasma protein binding and pharmacokinetic studies of anacetrapib. The fraction of unbound anacetrapib was determined to be low (ranging from 5.66 to 12.3%), and the absolute oral bioavailability of anacetrapib was 32.7%.
