Periodontal Health Knowledge and Smoking are Associated with Periodontal Treatment Need according to Tooth Brushing Levels
(UNIV WEST INDIES FACULTY MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2012)
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine whether periodontal health knowledge is associated with frequency of tooth brushing and periodontal treatment need. Methods: Four hundred and two subjects participated in ...
Combined effects of intense laser field and applied electric field on exciton states in GaAs quantum wells: Transition from the single to double quantum well
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2012)
The effects of intense laser radiation on the exciton states in GaAs-Ga1xAlxAs quantum wells are studied with the inclusion of applied dc electric fields oriented along the growth direction of the system. The calculations ...

(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2012)
Background and Aim: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a heterogeneous disorder that has been associated with antiphospholipid syndrome and other prothrombotic parameters. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of 12 ...
In vitro amoebicidal activity of Origanum syriacum and Origanum laevigatum on Acanthamoeba castellanii cysts and trophozoites
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2012)
In some patients, complete treatment of amoebic keratitis is difficult because of the resistance of cysts to therapeutic agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro amoebicidal activity of methanolic extracts ...
Electronic band structure of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattice in an intense laser field
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012)
We perform theoretical calculations for the band structure of semiconductor superlattice under intense high-frequency laser field. In the frame of the non-perturbative approach, the laser effects are included via laser-dressed ...
Usefulness of parathyroid hormone as a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012)
Objective: To investigate the relation between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF) in outpatients. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients who had preserved left ventricular ...
Metrical and histological investigation of the effects of low-level laser therapy on orthodontic tooth movement
(SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2012)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 820-nm diode laser on osteoclastic and osteoblastic cell proliferation-activity and RANKL/OPG release during orthodontic tooth movement. Thirty-eight albino Wistar rats ...
Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with N2O over Fe-ZSM-5 and Fe-SiO2: Influence of the iron species and acid sites
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012)
A series of iron containing zeolites with varying Si/Al ratios (11.5-140) and low iron content (similar to 0.9 wt.% Fe) have been synthesised by solid-state ion exchange with commercially available zeolites and tested, for ...
Multidisciplinary Approach for Esthetic, Functional, and Quality-of-Life Outcome in Soft Palate Cleft Patient
(ALLIANCE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP DIVISION ALLEN PRESS, 2012)
The fabrication of a Suersen obturator prosthesis with titanium framework is described in the case of a 43-year-old man with congenital absence of the soft palate. The patient revealed an open soft palate, bilateral cleft ...
Reproduction biology of chub living in Lake Hafik
(IRANIAN FISHERIES RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, 2012)
In this study, the reproductive biology of chub population in Hafik Lake was investigated. 242 samples were caught between April and November 2009. The age of S. cephalus samples were found to range between I-VIII; in ...
