Evaluation of the appearence of mandibular incisive canal by panoramic radiographs

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the visibility of mandibular incisive canal in the mental interforaminal region on panoramic radiographs.
Materials and Methods: 1000 panoramic radiographs of the patients were obtained retrospectively from the archieved records of our radiology department.The images were evaluated by a single radiologist and the presence of mandibular incisive canal were recorded.

Risk factors of pregnancy related hypertension among women attending maternal health care service in selected public hospitals of Tigray, Ethiopia

Introduction: Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is the commonest medical complication of pregnancy. The incidence varies in different populations and is also affected by the definition used. Generally the problem is more common in the developing countries than it is in the developed countries. Several studies have shown that null parity, extreme ages, race (being black) and others as risk factors for this problem. 

Public mental health and economic crises from holy quran and Hadith

As the world is moving fast towards indescribable industrialization and globalization, along with considerable progress in technology free from all sort of complexities, the subject of mental diseases and psycho problems need our serious attention. One among such diseases, which has stuck the human society, is the horrible economic disease. This disease has targeted man’s psychology which shall be followed by mental disorder and psycho distress.

The profile of liquid film’s flow on the surface roughness in vertically rotating disc contactor

The Profile of liquid film on the surface of contact media with the different surface roughness  provided the different kinds of flow profiles. The existence of the surface roughness in the nano scale, might cause the reduction of physicochemical resistant factor which potentially prevented the liquid film to adhere and dragged out to the surface of contact media. However, varying the kind of material used as the disk material was related to the characteristics solidity of surface roughness.

Energy savings by excessive use of CFLs ensuing disastrous ecosystem

Compact Fluorescent Lights have steadily increased in sales volume as because it provide maximum light output, more efficient than traditional light bulbs with minimum energy consumption. Development of fluorescent lamps that could fit in the same volume as comparable incandescent lamps required the development of new, high-efficacy phosphors that could withstand more power per unit area than the phosphors used with older, larger lamps. But CFLs contain toxic element, toxic fumes, fire hazard, and health hazard. Excessive use of CFLs may some disastrous on this ecosystem.

Transient mhd mass transfer flow past an impulsively started vertical plate in a porous medium with ramped temperature, thermal diffusion and radiation

In this paper we discuss, an exact solution to the problem of a MHD viscous, incompressible free convective flow of an electrically conducting, Newtonian non Grey fluid past a suddenly started infinite vertical plate with ramped wall temperature and concentration in presence of appreciable radiation heat transfer and uniform transverse magnetic field is presented. The fluid is assumed negligible magnetic Reynolds number considered Induced hydro magnetic effects. The equations governing the flow are solved by using Laplace transform technique in closed form.

Optimization of chemical etching parameters of strippable and non-strippable solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) LR 115 type II

In this study, optimal experimental parameters, especially the optimum time and the residual thickness for the revelation of latent tracks left behind by alpha particles emitted by radon gas and its progeny on strippable and non-strippable Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTD) LR 115 type II have been first determined. Then, the track density of the strippable films has been normalized. For a residual thickness of 6 µm, the values of the optimum time and the normalization coefficient of track density obtained are respectively 120 minutes and 0.26 ± 0.03.

Tribological, mechanical and noise properties of proposed composite materials for brakes of high speed trains

High-speed train is a type of rail transporting vehicle that operates significantly faster than the traditional rail traffic, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks. This type of trains has first begun operations in Japan during the sixteenth of the last century and is widely known as the bullet train. One of the most important systems in these trains is the braking system. With the continuous and improvement of this type of trains, disc brake pads are widely applied, due to their high speeds and reliable working of brake pads.

Smart metering in power distribution system

This paper related to an energy management system with integration of smart meters for electricity consumers in a smart grid. The proposed system not only helps to reduce the power demand and cost savings but also can significantly improve power system reliability and efficiency. By implementing smart metering techniques into the distribution network, consumers can monitor their energy costs and usage which could help to reduce global energy demands.
