Studies have shown subtle gray and white matter abnormalities in subjects with several developmental disorders including prosopagnosia, tone-deafness, and dyslexia.Correlational evidence suggests that tone-deafness and dyslexia tend to co-occur, suggesting a link between these two developmental disorders.However, it is not known whether tone-deafne
This study investigated the number of Streptococcus mutans CFU (colony forming units) in the saliva and plaque adjacent to orthodontic brackets bonded with a glass ionomer cement - GIC (Fuji Ortho) or a resin-based composite - Dental Floss RC (Concise).Twenty male and female patients, aged 12 to 20 years, participated in the study.Saliva was collec
Membrane fouling has been a major issue in the development of more efficient water treatment processes.Specifically in surface waters filtration, organic matter, such as humic-like substances, can cause irreversible fouling.Therefore, this study evaluates the activity of a photocatalytic layer composed of Ce-doped zirconia nanoparticles in improvin
With the development of urban metro systems, shield tunnels that pass through existing bridge pile foundations have become an inevitable engineering problem.Therefore, ensuring the stability of the strata and existing bridge piles during tunnel construction is a common goal in engineering practice.Currently, research on the mechanical responses of
