Authors: Abadjiev Valentin , Kawasaki Haruhisa 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The computer design has improved forming different type software for scientific researches in the field of gearing theory as well as performing an adequate scientific support of the gear drives manufacture. Here are attached computer programs that are based on mathematical models as a result of scientific researches. The modern gear transmissions require the construction of new mathematical approaches to their geometric, technological and strength analysis. The process of optimization, synthesis and design is based on adequate iteration procedures to find out an optimal solution by varying definite parameters.
The study is dedicated to accepted methodology in the creation of soft- ware for the synthesis of a class high reduction hyperboloid gears - Spiroid and Helicon ones (Spiroid and Helicon are trademarks registered by the Illinois Tool Works, Chicago, Ill). The developed basic computer products belong to software, based on original mathematical models. They are based on the two mathematical models for the synthesis: “upon a pitch contact point” and “upon a mesh region”. Computer programs are worked out on the basis of the described mathematical models, and the relations between them are shown. The application of the shown approaches to the synthesis of commented gear drives is illustrated.
Using A Particular Sampling Method for Impedance Measurement
Authors: Lentka Grzegorz 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The paper presents an impedance measurement method using a particular sampling method which is an alternative to DFT calculation. The method uses a sine excitation signal and sampling response signals proportional to current flowing through and voltage across the measured impedance. The object impedance is calculated without using Fourier transform. The method was first evaluated in MATLAB by means of simulation. The method was then practically verified in a constructed simple impedance measurement instrument based on a PSoC (Programmable System on Chip). The obtained calculation simplification recommends the method for implementation in simple portable impedance analyzers destined for operation in the field or embedding in sensors.

Published: August 2014

Abstract
Comparative analysis of thermal regime in the Rucăr-Bran Corridor and the Prahova-Timiş Corridor. The authors analyze the thermal regime of two close corridors - one in the mountains and one in a valley; the first one - the Rucar-Bran Corridor is situated in the east of the Southern Carpathians e separates the Bucegi group from the Fagaras group; the second - the Prahova Timis Corridor is situated at the contact between the Southern and the Eastern Carpathians, between the Bucegi-Postavaru Mountains and Teleajenului Mountains. In order to determine from a thermal point of view the similarities and the differences between the two negative landforms, the authors used the vertical temperature gradients on the northern, southern, eastern and western slopes, based on the annual average temperatures and of the two characteristic months of the year (January/February and July/August) from seven weather stations installed in the region, at altitudes between 461 and 2504 meters, for a 47 year period (1961-2007). This way, they discussed the temperature differences in winter and summer between the mountain peaks and the depression areas, as well as the thermal anomalies caused by the geographic location: the position of the corridors’ regions with regard to the main atmospheric circulation and the exposure of the slopes to the sun, as well as the landform, which can alter the general distribution of the air temperature on the vertical.
Data-Mining – A Valuable Managerial Tool for Improving Power Plants Efficiency
Authors: Danubianu Mirela , Danubianu Dragos Mircea , Teodorescu Cristian , Constantin Lucian 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Energy and environment are top priorities for the EU’s Europe 2020 Strategy. Both fields imply complex approaches and consistent investment. The paper presents an alternative to large investments to improve the efficiencies of existing (outdated) power installations: namely the use of data-mining techniques for analysing existing operational data. Data-mining is based upon exhaustive analysis of operational records, inferring high-value information by simply processing records with advanced mathematical / statistical tools. Results can be: assessment of the consistency of measurements, identification of new hardware needed for improving the quality of data, deducing the most efficient level for operation (internal benchmarking), correlation of consumptions with power/ heat production, of technical parameters with environmental impact, scheduling the optimal maintenance time, fuel stock optimization, simulating scenarios for equipment operation, anticipating periods of maximal stress of equipment, identification of medium and long term trends, planning and decision support for new investment, etc. The paper presents a data mining process carried out at the TERMICA - Suceava power plant. The analysis calls for a multidisciplinary approach, a complex team (experts in power&heat production, mechanics, environmental protection, economists, and last but not least IT experts) and can be carried out with lower expenses than an investment in new equipment. Involvement of top management of the company is essential, being the driving force and motivation source for the data-mining team. The approach presented is self learning as once established, the data-mining analytical, modelling and simulation procedures and associated parameter databases can adjust themselves by absorbing and processing new relevant information and can be used on a long term basis for monitoring the performance of the installation, certifying the soundness of managerial measures taken and suggesting further adjustments
The potential role of O-GlcNAc modification in cancer epigenetics
Authors: Forma Ewa , Jóźwiak Paweł , Bryś Magdalena , Krześlak Anna 
Published: August 2014

AbstractThere is no doubt that cancer is not only a genetic disease but that it can also occur due to epigenetic abnormalities. Diet and environmental factors can alter the scope of epigenetic regulation. The results of recent studies suggest that O-GlcNAcylation, which involves the addition of N-acetylglucosamine on the serine or threonine residues of proteins, may play a key role in the regulation of the epigenome in response to the metabolic status of the cell. Two enzymes are responsible for cyclic O-GlcNAcylation: O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), which catalyzes the addition of the GlcNAc moiety to target proteins; and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), which removes the sugar moiety from proteins. Aberrant expression of O-GlcNAc cycling enzymes, especially OGT, has been found in all studied human cancers. OGT can link the cellular metabolic state and the epigenetic status of cancer cells by interacting with and modifying many epigenetic factors, such as HCF-1, TET, mSin3A, HDAC, and BAP1. A growing body of evidence from animal model systems also suggests an important role for OGT in polycomb-dependent repression of genes activity. Moreover, O-GlcNAcylation may be a part of the histone code: O-GlcNAc residues are found on all core histones.
On Gelfand-Mazur theorem on a class ofF-algebras
Authors: Anjidani E. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractA topological algebraAis said to be fundamental if there existsb> 1 such that for every sequence(xn) inA, (xn) is Cauchy whenever the sequencebn(xn−xn-1) tends to zero as n → ∞. Let A be a complex unital fundamentalF-algebra with bounded elements such thatA* separates the points onA. Then we prove that the spectrum σ(a) of every element a ∈ A is nonempty compact. Moreover, if A is a division algebra,then A is isomorphic to the complex numbers ℂ. This result is a generalization of Gelfand-Mazur theoremfor a large class ofF-algebras, containing both locally bounded algebras and locally convex algebras withbounded elements.
Recent advances in head and neck cancer reconstruction
Authors: Yadav Prabha 
Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTTreatment of cancer is race against time! Following radical excision, breathing, speech, mastication and swallowing are hampered. Face is invariably involved. Beside functional normalcy, excellent cosmetic restoration is necessary for patient’s life quality. Primary wound healing, quick resumption of adequate oral intake, prompt initiation of chemo-radiotherapy has direct bearing on cure. Primary reconstruction with pedicle or free flap is the choice of treatment in most protocols. Composite defects are requiring bone, muscle and skin restrict choice of donor site and may have shortfalls in aesthetic and functional requirements. To improve further newer, and newer modalities are being developed and used to give best aesthetic and functions. Navigation, use of three-dimensional imaging, stereo lithic model and custom made implant for reconstruction are recommended as they promise improvement in aesthetics. Robotic surgeries allow access for resection of tumours and reconstruction with free flap in deep oropharynx obviating need of doing mandibulotomy. Researchers in stem cell and tissue engineering are looking forward to regenerating tissues and avoid the need of autologous tissue flaps. Desired tissue combination across counter may be available in the future. Excellent immunosuppressant drugs have made it possible to reconstruct composite facial anatomical units with allotransplant in a single surgery, along sensory and motor recovery! Mythological heterogenic head transplant like clone Ganesha, will be a reality in the near future!!

Published: August 2014

ABSTRACT
Background: Soft-tissue defects around the knees are common in injured limbs and in the same injury the leg is often involved and the thigh is spared. Furthermore due to pliable and relatively lax skin, we have used inferiorly based thigh flap to reconstruct defects around knee joint. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of inferiorly based thigh flap to cover soft-tissue defects over the proximal one-third of the leg, patellar region, knee, and lower thigh. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted during the period between October 2011 and February 2013. Inferiorly based anteromedial thigh fasciocutaneous flap was performed on 12 patients and inferiorly based anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap on four patients. The sites of the soft-tissue defects included patellar regions, infrapatellar region, upper one-third of leg, lower thigh, and over the knee joint. Results: Patients were evaluated post-operatively in terms of viability of flap, the matching of the flap with the recipient site, and donor site morbidity. All the flaps survived well except one which developed distal marginal flap loss, one in which wound dehiscence was noticed, and two in which mild venous congestion was observed. Venous congestion in two patients subsided on its own within 3 days. One patient with wound dehiscence achieved complete healing by secondary intention. Patient who developed distal flap loss required debridement and skin grafting. No appreciable donor site morbidity was encountered. Skin colour and texture of the flap matched well with the recipient site. Conclusions: The inferiorly based thigh flap is a reliable flap to cover the defect over proximal one-third of the leg, patellar region, knee, and lower thigh.

Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTCamphor is a waxy white sublimating chemical derived from natural as well as synthetic sources and widely used in various communities worldwide for a number of medicinal, culinary, and religious reasons. Camphor is burnt as an offering to God in many religious communities. We report three incidences of self inflicted injury from burning camphor on the palm resulting in full thickness burns. Non-suicidal self-injury is socially unacceptable destruction or alteration of body tissue when there is no suicidal intent or pervasive developmental disorder and we have explored an association between this and burn injury. This report also highlights the unique social and cultural pattern of this burn injury and the importance of psycho-therapeautic help for these victims.
Importance of taking Anamnesis in Dentistry and Assessment of Knowledge and Attitudes of Dental Students
Authors: Yakar Elif Naz , Cura Naile 
Published: August 2014

ABSTRACT

Aim
The medical history (anamnesis) of a patient is information gained by a physician by asking specific questions, either of the patient or of other people who know the person and can give suitable information. The purpose of the study is to describe the significance level of taking anamnesis among dentists and dentistry students.

Materials and methods
In our study, we designed a selfadministered anonymous questionnaire (Fig. 1) consisting of 26 questions which was addressed voluntarily to 332 (208 female, 124 male) students and dentists at the Ankara University, Faculty of Dentistry. Answers were evaluated statistically according to five-point scale. Data were analyzed using the statistical software package SPSS 15.0 (IBM, New York, NY).

Results
Significant differences were found between the responses of male and female participants for some of the questions. On the other hand, all participants knew about the relationship between the ethical-legal issues and taking systemic anamnesis. Results of the study show that participants are aware of the importance of malpractice lawsuits.

Conclusion
According to the results of our study, we found that dentist-patient relationship is strengthened with increasing experience. The ability to reflect on the encounter and learning from the experience is an important component in developing self-awareness and professionalism in dentistry.

Knowledge and Oral Health Attitudes among Care Providers of Children with Intellectual Disabilities: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Shanbhag Prajakta P , Gupta Bharat 
Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTBackgroundIntellectual disability is characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. This disability originates before the age of 18 years. Intellectual disability is also known as mental retardation (MR). The knowledge and awareness among parents, guardians or care providers of individuals with intellectual disabilities is extremely important since they play an important role in the formation and maintenance of oral health in their children.ObjectivesThis study was carried out to gauge the awareness of care providers of intellectually disabled children from two different institutions in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, India concerning their oral hygiene.Materials and methodsA simple prestructured questionnaire was distributed among the care providers at two recognized institutions for children with intellectual disabilities in order to determine their knowledge and awareness as regards to the oral hygiene practices and significance of good oral health. The questionnaire was distributed among 120 parents, guardians or care providers of intellectually disabled children, out of which 103 care providers completed the questionnaire.ResultsThe knowledge and awareness of parents was reasonable, but their oral health attitudes were lacking satisfaction. In spite of this, it was seen that the care providers in this study acknowledged the importance of good oral health and its implications on the general well-being of their children. The study revealed that 83% of care providers were unaware about the importance of fluoride in prevention of dental caries, although 95.10% were interested in educating themselves about the importance of oral health.ConclusionThe parents/guardians of intellectually disabled children need to be counseled and made conscious about the consequences of negligence toward the oral health of their intellectually disabled children, and the significance of regular dental check-ups. They must be made aware of the various options available in order to prevent the occurrence of oral ailments in their children.How to cite this articleShanbhag PP, Ram SM, Gupta B.

Homicídio e lobo frontal: revisão da literatura
Authors: Del Pino Viviane , Werlang Blanca Susana Guevara 
Published: August 2014

Estudos têm demonstrado relação entre funcionamento cerebral e homicídio. A região cerebral que se destaca, em termos de compreensão dessa relação, é o lobo frontal. Com o objetivo de verificar a produção científica da temática “homicídio” e “lobo frontal”, foi desenvolvida uma revisão sistemática identificando e analisando resumos localizados nos sistemas Medline, PsycInfo, Proquest e Lilacs, no período de 1990 a 2003. Foram examinados vinte e dois resumos em três dimensões de análise: sistema de indexação, ano e país de publicação e delineamento empregado. Constatou-se predomínio de publicações nos sistemas Medline, nos Estados Unidos, com uma concentração por anos mais ou menos homogênea e com delineamento quase-experimental. Os onze artigos com este delineamento foram analisados segundo: tipo amostral, sexo e idade dos sujeitos participantes, técnica de avaliação utilizada, variáveis associadas e principais achados. Estas produções utilizaram com mais freqüência um grupo amostral que incluía predominantemente homicidas, adultos, do sexo masculino e em diferente status judicial. A variável mais pesquisada em relação ao tema foi o transtorno psiquiátrico e as técnicas mais utilizadas foram as neurológicas, neuropsicológicas e as de avaliação psiquiátrica. A maioria destes estudos aponta associação positiva entre comportamento homicida e disfunção frontal. Palavras-chave: homicídio; lobo frontal; funcionamento cerebral.
Novas perspectivas para a psicologia clínica a partir das contribuições de J. P. Sartre
Authors: Schneider Daniela Ribeiro 
Published: August 2014

O campo da psicologia clínica vem, historicamente, enfrentando dilemas epistemológicos no seu âmago, tais como, a multiplicidade de tendências que a fundamentam, que acarretam na indefinição de seu objeto, além da já questionada herança da perspectiva liberal e do modelo médico, entre outros aspectos, que acabam por questionar sua dimensão prática. Sartre foi um autor que discutiu aspectos fundantes da disciplina psicológica, bem como de seu domínio clínico, propondo concepções inovadoras. Suas obras têm muito a oferecer para o enfrentamento e superação de tais dilemas. O projeto fundamental do trabalho intelectual de Sartre foi reformular tal disciplina, realizando esse propósito no conjunto de suas obras psicológicas, filosóficas, literárias e em seus empreendimentos biográficos. Criador de uma metodologia específica de investigação da realidade humana, explicitada em sua “psicanálise existencial”, Sartre fornece as bases para uma psicologia clínica existencialista. Utilizando o recurso de elaborar biografias de escritores conhecidos, Sartre demonstrou ser possível atingir o conhecimento objetivo do ser do sujeito estudado, primeiro passo necessário para uma intervenção científica. A tarefa da psicoterapia sartriana é, pois, colocar o projeto de ser da pessoa em suas próprias mãos, na medida em que isso o viabilizará como sujeito de sua vida e de sua história. Palavras-chave: psicologia clínica; Jean-Paul Sartre; psicologia existencialista.

Published: August 2014

A presente pesquisa objetivou comparar o estresse em pacientes no pré-operatório da cirurgia de colecistectomia em relação aos pacientes submetidos ao tratamento clínico de gastrite, buscando também delinear as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por esses pacientes. A amostra foi composta por dois grupos, sendo 15 pacientes cirúrgicos e 10 pacientes do tratamento clínico. Para a detecção do estresse utilizou-se o Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos de Lipp e para o conhecimento das estratégias de enfrentamento, aplicou-se o Inventário de Estratégias de Coping de Folkman e Lazarus. Nos resultados, constatou-se que a maioria dos pacientes cirúrgicos teve estresse (73,3%), enquanto no grupo do tratamento clínico, somente 10% deles apresentaram. Predominaram pacientes na fase de resistência (72,7%) e com sintomas físicos (63,3%). Houve relação estatisticamente significativa entre o sexo e o diagnóstico de estresse, indicando que o sexo feminino apresentou maior ocorrência de estresse na amostra pesquisada (p<0,05). Acredita-se que a cirurgia caracterizou-se como um fator estressante, ressaltando a necessidade da implementação de ações que visem o manejo adequado do estresse, em vista da redução da tensão no pré-cirúrgico e uma melhor recuperação no pós-cirúrgico. Palavras-chave: estresse; cirurgia; enfrentamento.
Relações comportamentais como objeto da Psicologia: algumas implicações
Authors: Tourinho Emmanuel Zagury 
Published: August 2014

O artigo apresenta a análise do comportamento como um sistema psicológico que assume as relações indivíduo-ambiente como seu objeto de estudos. Em seguida, discute algumas implicações teóricas, metodológicas e práticas de tal noção. A ênfase em relações comportamentais é interpretada como um contraponto a concepções individualistas do homem e a conceitos psicológicos daí derivados. Argumenta-se, por outro lado, que uma adequada apreciação do alcance da análise do comportamento como disciplina psicológica requer uma compreensão de como os conceitos analítico-comportamentais dão suporte ao exame de fenômenos psicológicos em contextos diversos daquele de laboratório, no qual a investigação básica se realiza. Palavras-chave: análise do comportamento; behaviorismo radical; relações comportamentais.
