Objective:The present study aimed to find a chemical reagent that would reduce the debonding force to enable easier debonding of the ceramic brackets, thus reducing enamel damage as well as chair side time.Methods:The study included 4 groups -control (distilled water), eucalyptus oil, glutathione and lemon essential oil for immersing teeth bonded w
Formal Analysis of Soft Errors using Theorem Proving
Modeling and analysis of soft errors in electronic circuits has traditionally been done using computer simulations.Computer simulations cannot guarantee correctness of analysis because they utilize approximate real number representations and pseudo random numbers in the analysis and Trimmers thus are not well suited for analyzing safety-critical ap
The rates of stem cell division determine the cell cycle lengths of its lineage
Summary: Adult stem cells and their transit-amplifying progeny alter their proliferation rates to maintain tissue homeostasis.To test how the division rates of stem cells and transit-amplifying progeny affect tissue growth and differentiation, we developed a computation strategy that estimates the average cell-cycle lengths (lifespans) of germline
Effect of Genotype and Environment on Food-Related Traits of Organic Winter Naked Barleys
This study aimed to understand how genetics and environment influence organic winter naked barley composition and functionality, and to identify traits that might effectively categorize basic physicochemical functionality of food barley.Across three years, two locations, and 15 genotypes, genotype significantly influenced all 10 food-related traits
Using Ethics Committees to Justify Force-Feeding Political Prisoners in Israel
Thousands of Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli prisons without trial.For some of them, engaging in hunger strikes is the last resort in opposing unlawful detention and inhumane prison conditions.While mainstream bioethics deliberation, reasonable arguments, and international legal and medical professional declarations prohibit force-feeding
