Introduction:Various methods are applied in order to restore maxillary premolar teeth which show much decay, though some inconsistencies have been reported in regard with the rate of fracture strength in different studies.Therefore, in this study, fracture resistance of buccal cusp was compared via 5 different types of restorations.Methods: In this
A recent meta-analysis claimed to provide evidence that academic self-concept and achievement have reciprocal prospective effects on each other (reciprocal effects model).However, prospective effects were estimated while adjusting for a prior measurement of the outcome, and this method is susceptible to spurious findings due to correlations with re
The response of tropical trees to the change of light intensity has been reported to be varied among different species.Some reports argued that the growth was increasing parallel to the increasing of light intensity, but other reports mentioned that the sensitivity to the light intensity was depending on the species.Another environmental factor tha
The Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) optical switches in power systems may be affected by optical control signals during fiber switching, which may cause damage to Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR).In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a method to optimize the switching path of MEMS optical switches in power systems.After
Abstract Background The ketogenic diet is one of the oldest diets that has been used for more than a centennial in the clinical setting, and it is gaining popularity as a measure to fight obesity, which is a major predisposing factor for many diseases to manifest, including diabetes mellitus, chronic heart disease, cancer, and others.Thus, we desig
