Periodontal disease has a high prevalence in many countries. The early detection of periodontal disease is important in preventing tooth loss, and subsequently, maintaining the patient's general health. The current diagnostic approaches including clinical probing and intraoral radiography have shown several limitations in their reliability. Conventional diagnostic methods for periodontal disease include probing gingival tissues and performing radiographs to evaluate bony support. Radiographs give us information about the amount and type of alveolar bone defect. Hence, they are valuable in the detection of bone defects, the estimation of their severity, the evaluation of the treatment outcome, and making prognosis.Using two-dimensional (2D) radiographic methods, we can only observe the interproximal surfaces, and as a result, bone loss may be underestimated due to having a 2D view of three-dimensional (3D) structures.CBCT as a diagnostic tool is widely used in dentoalveolar surgeries, implantology, general /specialized dentistry (orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and forensic dentistry), and otolaryngology

This book on Northern Kenya's Petroleum and Geothermal Resources Prospectivity involves a synoptic overview of geological implications, tectonic features, and subsurface stratigraphical studies of the great East African Rift System (EARS), where recent plays and geothermal manifestations have been discovered. Tectonism was brought out by continental rifting as a part of the major Gondwanaland breakup in the Late Paleozoic time, and continued in the Mesozoic and Tertiary. This movement was accompanied by a stupendous outpouring of the lava flows within several horst- and graben- like structural systems caused by extensional rifting, block faulting and subsidence, resulting in favourable petroleum and geothermal zones. This comprehensive overview of applied geology underscores the importance of essential skills required for geoscientists to unravel these vital energy resources in Kenya's EARS.

Patients with fixed orthodontic appliances tend to exhibit signs of gingivitis and gingival enlargement with false pockets. Significantly higher occurrence of Treponema denticola and Tannerella forsythensis in adult patients with gingivitis and an attached fixed orthodontic appliance has been reported in the literature. Periodontal pathogens represent a significant risk not only for the periodontal disease but also for the patient's general health. Orthodontic anomalies and their treatment with a fixed orthodontic appliance create favourable conditions for colonisation of sub gingival plaque with periodontal pathogens and their following invasion into the cells. Hence the present study is aimed at identifying the red complex organisms, namely Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythensis and Treponema denticola in the plaque samples collected from pseudo pockets of subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy. The organisms were identified using real time PCR.

The consumer market today has become increasingly diverse; hence attracting customers and retaining them has become very crucial for their success. As a result of this, retailers have adopted visual merchandising tools and techniques to differentiate themselves from the rest of the retailers in the market to attract and retain a huge customer base that is most likely to buy on impulse. The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between visual merchandising dimensions and consumer impulse buying behavior in the retail industry of Nepal. The study area for this research was the retail stores of malls in Kathmandu city; Labim mall and Eyeplex Mall in particular, and the data were collected from respondents through a questionnaire survey method. It is hence, concluded that consumer impulse buying is significantly impacted by product display, form/ mannequin display and promotional signage. As impulse buying has now been perceived as a common behavior, thus retailers should take the opportunity and benefit themselves from the use of different visual merchandising elements which is often termed as 'an art of silent selling'.

Since 1800, more progress has been made than in the preceding 3,000 years. This is largely attributed to work conducted in the dissecting room and laboratory. Key milestones in the 19th-century surgical history include the discovery of anesthesia, antiseptic surgery based on bacteriology, and changes in medical education methods. The Anatomy Act of 1832 in Great Britain removed restrictions on procuring human bodies for dissection. The significant strides in morbid anatomy, pathological anatomy, and experimental pathology have all strongly influenced the advancement of modern surgery.

Indian bean (Lablab purpureus L.) is a sweet, bushy semi-erect herb belongs to family Fabaceae with 2n = 22 chromosomes. It is commonly known as Field bean, Hyacinth bean, Dolichos bean, Egyptian bean, Bonavist bean, Sem etc. while locally known as 'Papadi'. It is predominantly a self-pollinated crop. Biofertilizers play an important role in increasing availability of nitrogen and phosphorus. They increase the biological fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and enhance phosphorus availability to the crop. The seeds treated with bacterial culture of Rhizobium increase nodulation and influence yield as well as economize the input cost of fertilizer to some extent. Evaluation of the role of biofertilizers including Rhizobium and PSB to harness their effect in enhancing crop yields will be a challenging task.

Современная кадастровая система Узбекистана, которая включает в себя более 20 видов государственных кадастров, представляет собой двухмерную плоскую кадастровую систему в формате 2D, отражающий объект в плоском состоянии, не дающей четкой информации о проекциях выступающих конструкций, которые накладываются друг на друга. Такие кадастровые модели не способны дать полную информацию о современной архитектуре с перекрывающимися частями, что в последующем приводит к принятию неправильных решений и появлению "кадастровых ошибок". В таких условиях цифровизация и применение возможностей искусственного интеллекта повысит эффективность реформирования кадастровой системы в целом. В центре такой деятельности лежит вопрос правового регулирования, который значительно отстает от практического применения, что на сегодняшний день является недостаточным и затягивает процесс его полноценного применения.

In wireless sensor networks, each device is able to monitor its environment and send the collected information via a wireless connection. However, to monitor the critical infrastructure, critical messages must be transmitted with minimal delay to deal with failures that may occur. In order to allow this monitoring, the use of the 802.15.4 standard becomes limited. Thus, in 2013, the IEEE organization proposed the new version IEEE 802.15.4k. This amendment proposes new priority channel access mechanisms, namely CSMA/CA with PCA backoff and ALOHA PCA. To evaluate the performance of this amendment, we have modeled its two mechanisms by a Markov chain. The resolution of the systems induced by our models, allowed us to calculate some performance metrics. Non ideal and ideal channel, saturated and non-saturated traffic conditions are considered. In addition, the effect of varying some parameters on our performance metrics is proposed. The results obtained are satisfactory, because the size of the data packets and network size are the most important parameters in industrial applications, especially in critical infrastructure monitoring systems. By varying them, good results are observed.
