Comparative proteomic analysis of human serum before and after liver transplantation using quantitative proteomics
|
Liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Safer and more effective diagnostic methods for liver cancer are desirable, and biomarkers represent a potentially alternative method for diagnosis. The present study was designed to identify liver cancer biomarkers. We quantified the changes in serum protein levels between liver transplantation and healthy (control) females using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) as well as proteomic analysis. A total of 1399 proteins were identified; of these, three proteins showed significantly different concentrations between the before transplantation group and the control group. These proteins may thus be relevant to liver cancer and constitute potential liver cancer biomarkers.

Study of the Method for Determining Sampling Number for Root Investigation
|
Root system was in the main location for changing the substance and energy between plant and environment, and its distribution reflects the utilization of the plants to the environment. With the development of the science and technology, the study of the root also tend to shift from the qualitative to the quantitative, among which the scientific method for investigation was the key to quantitative study. Based on the data of the root investigation,the number of sampling points needed for root investigation by soil auger was calculated and analyzed by mathematical statistics method. And the results showed that the root investigation should be carried out on different sites and sampling area. Considering the needs of the investigation and the actual condition, the number of sampling points in different sampling area was determined, and some improvement was made to the 1/4 circular sampling method.

OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE AS INFLUENCED BY DRUG‐INDUCED VARIATIONS IN ACTIVATION LEVEL
|
Performance was measured by seven sensorimotor and perceptual tests given to 30 students in six successive trials, spread over five hours, before and after the intake of either 15 mg dexamphetamine, zoo mg Pentobarbitone, or a placebo. Subjective performance, level of aspiration, wakefulness, and mood were measured by a scaling method. A close agreement was found between the amount of objective and subjective improvement following dexamphetamine, whereas the objective impairment induced by Pentobarbitone was not reflected in the subjective measures. These results were examined in relation to the other indices of activation.

Abstract This study estimates the employment effects of industry-specific, collectively bargained minimum wages in Germany for two occupations associated with the construction sector. I propose a truly exogenous control group in contrast to the control group design used in the literature. Further, a difference-in-differences-in-differences estimator is presented as a robustness test for occupation-specific and/or industry-specific, time-varying, unobserved heterogeneity. I do not find a significantly negative employment effect, even though the minimum wage is binding in (East) Germany. Possible explanations include substitution effects, non-compliance and models of monopsonic competition.

Credibility in Instructional Supervision: A Catalyst for Differentiated Supervision
|
This chapter represents an initial attempt to define credibility as it relates to instructional supervision in ninth through twelfth grade. The study aimed to determine how differences in the definitions held by administrators and teachers necessitate differentiation in an administrator’s supervisory practice. Findings suggest that credibility is more often rooted in expertise and experience than in relational conditions established by school leaders or a leader’s positional authority. Indeed, one of its most important conclusions from this study is that classroom teachers and school administrators defined credibility differently within the context of instructional supervision and that these differences may necessitate differentiation in supervisory systems and practices, including those related to teacher performance evaluation. Implications for future research are discussed as are possible reforms for leadership preparation.

DNA Aneuploidy in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia as Detected by Flow Cytometry: Relation to Phenotype, Presentation Features and Prognosis
|
Recent improvements in cytogenetic technology have provided the means to identify chromosomal abnormalities in the majority of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) [4, 18]. In addition to numeric aberrations, specific nonrandom translocations have been described [4, 17]. Cytogenetic studies have also emphasized the clinical significance of chromosomal aberrations in addition to previously identified prognostic factors such as white blood count, sex and age [4, 11, 20]. The applicability of cytogenetic techniques, however, is limited by the laborious and time consuming processing of samples and therefore not suitable for routine clinical evaluations.

Background ::: Anthropometric models remain appropriate alternatives to estimate body composition of peripubertal populations. However, these traditional models do not consider other body components that undergo major changes during peripubertal growth spurt, with restrictions to a multicompartimental approach as a quantitative growth. DXA has great potential to determine pediatric body composition in more than one component (3-C), but has limited use in field settings. Thus, the aim of this study was to propose and validate an anthropometric model for simultaneous estimation of lean soft tissue (LST), bone mineral content (BMC) and fat mass (FM) in healthy girls, from a multivariate approach of densitometric technique, as the criterion method.

IDENTIFICATION OF SELF THROUGH OLFACTION
|
To study olfactory communication in humans, 100 undergraduates ranging from age 18 to 45 yr. wore freshly washed, identical T- shirts continuously for 24 hr. During this time, the participants did not bathe or shower or apply any scent producing substance to their bodies, i.e., deodorants, perfumes. Upon retrieval, each shirt was placed in an identical brown bag. In groups of 10, each participant attempted to identify the T-shirt he had worn the previous 24 hr. The task was administered separately for each individual so that no participants knew the choice by a previous colleague. Analysis shows that the participants were able to identify correctly their own shirts on the first try three-quarters of the time. Furthermore, sex, age, smoking habit of the participant, and menstrual cycle phase in the women were factors in successful outcomes.

Dynamic Mode Decomposition for Large and Streaming Datasets
|
We formulate a low-storage method for performing dynamic mode decomposition that can be updated inexpensively as new data become available; this formulation allows dynamical information to be extracted from large datasets and data streams. We present two algorithms: the first is mathematically equivalent to a standard"batch-processed"formulation; the second introduces a compression step that maintains computational efficiency, while enhancing the ability to isolate pertinent dynamical information from noisy measurements. Both algorithms reliably capture dominant fluid dynamic behaviors, as demonstrated on cylinder wake data collected from both direct numerical simulations and particle image velocimetry experiments

In an anechoic chamber, radar cross-section (RCS) or antenna measurements intensify the need of knowing perfectly the electromagnetic (em) behavior of the locale of treatment. So it is very important to characterize the noise in the anechoic chamber. This can be done by locating and recognizing the elements which cause the perturbation. In this article a new technique using a combination of polarimetric and time domain analyses is presented. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.

AbstractIn a physical activity study, the 7-day physical activity log viewed as an alloyed gold standard was used to correct the measurement error in the physical activity questionnaire. Due to correlations between the errors in the two measurements, the usual regression calibration may result to a biased estimate of the calibration factor. We propose a method of removing the correlation through orthogonal decomposition of the errors, then the usual regression calibration can be applied. Simulation studies show that our method can effectively correct the bias.

Evaluation of oxidative events and copper accumulatıon in oral tissues of patients wıth Wilson’s disease: three case report
|
Wilson’s disease (WD), also known as hepatolenticular degeneration, was first described in 1912 by Kinnear Wilson. It is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, a membrane-bound copper transporting ATPase. The disorder is caused by impairment of the copper transporting ATPase, ATP7B, in the liver, which disturbs copper transport, excretion into the bile, and incorporation into apoceruloplasmin. WD is an inherited copper metabolism disorder with pathological copper accumulation in many tissues, but especially in brain and liver. We conducted this study because copper accumulation in oral tissues in patients with WD have not been studied before. We think that copper accumulation and differences of oxidative events in oral tissues can cause tendency to periodontal diseases.

Abstract Cation concentration profiles in solid—solution scales on NiCo alloys have been calculated by making use of Wagner's theoretical analysis. As a result of the computation method used, it becomes unnecessary to incorporate experimental values in the calculation for either the parabolic rate constant, k p , or the boundary conditions of the cation profile. The agreement between the independently determined theoretical and experimental cation profiles provides strong support for Wagner's model. The calculated variation of k p with alloy composition is also in agreement with the experimental data.

A PFG-NMR Study of Restricted Diffusion in Heterogeneous Polymer Particles.
|
The diffusion resistance to monomers during heterogeneous polymerization of polyolefin particles may have a significant effect on the observed activity. This diffusivity is, in general, unknown. To gain more information on this diffusion resistance in such systems, PFG-NMR has been used to measure the diffusion of organic solvents in various systems of porous polymer particles. In such systems the complex morphology and geometry demands careful analysis of the PFG-NMR attenuation curve. In this study, effects from restricted diffusion, domains having different diffusivity, and internal magnetic field gradients are expected. Thus, the obtained diffusivities have to be considered carefully, and a way to analyze the data taking these effects into account is presented. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

More than 260 pork samples of domestic and foreign origin were analysed for the study of typification and genetic traceability of this kind of meat. The correspondence between raw material obtained after slaughtering, refrigerated or frozen meat and cooked product was evaluated, using a suitable set of primers, by means of PCR-RAPD (Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA). Using tne same technique, samples were analysed in order to distinguish between meats from domestic or foreign pigs. The results, although not definitive, often allowed the origin of the raw material to be ascertained even for products such as cooked ham. For repeatability problems inherent in the method, a simultaneous analysis of unknown and reference samples is required.

Abstract A novel testing technique is described in which the material is subjected to fast heating. An aggressive medium or special environment may be used to contact the material under test, while extreme conditions evaluate materials. Such testing programs are safe and reliable. A research and development package is commercially available which permits the simultaneous assessment of various materials by a multi-electrode tester using continuous or pulsed electroheating in the media of interest. The signals in mV (or mΩ) are measured manually or by a microprocessor at various stages of the test. The amplitude and frequency of the reversed polarity is controlled by a “Reversalyzer” power supply which is utilized in the package to generate various d.c. pulses.

paired or unpaired t-test We are polling respondents every month and asking a couple of questions about the number of times they eat certain foods. We have significant loss to follow up every month but generally retain 20% - 30%. For the participants who stay engaged and respond across the months, I understand we use the paired t-test. My question is what test would be appropriate to use to compare between two months say for example comparing a june & july sample which contains some folks in june who dropped out in july, some folks who answered for both june and july, and some new randomly selected folks who were added in july? I've read through previous posts but cant get whether using the paired test is really appropriate. THANKS!

I am doing a research about the ethics in pharmaceutical industry. I've chosen 7 branding activities followed by pharmaceutical companies. I want to study the relationship between the perception of ethics in those activities by doctors and how that might affect their prescription behavior. My hypothesis is that more ethical perception can result into better doctors' response. I used a likert scale of 5 points to identify both "the perception" and "the response" for each activity. How can I analyze? What tool can better answer my question? should I analysis each activity separately or is there a tool to consider all of them as a whole?

define: validity of study
|
External validity refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other settings (ecological validity), other people (population validity) and over time (historical validity). External validity can be improved by setting experiments in a more natural setting and using random sampling to select participants.
|
Internal validity is the extent to which the results of a study are true. That is, the intervention really did cause the change in behavior. The change was not the result of some other extraneous factor, such as differences in assessment procedures between intervention and control participants.

Are there Different Types of Internal Controls? Yes, generally speaking there are two types: preventive and detective controls. Both types of controls are essential to an effective internal control system. From a quality standpoint, preventive controls are essential because they are proactive and emphasize quality. However, detective controls play a critical role by providing evidence that the preventive controls are functioning as intended.

define pre experimental design
|
Pre-Experimental Design. Pre-experimental design is a research format in which some basic experimental attributes are used while some are not. This factor causes an experiment to not qualify as truly experimental.
|
Experimental and quasi-experimental research designs. Ph.D. In an experimental design, subjects are randomly assigned to groups for different levels of treatment (or no treatment, i.e., the control group). In a quasi-experimental design, subjects are not randomly assigned to treatment; there is no randomization. Random assignments of subjects helps control for participant differences, one of the main sources of threats to internal validity of a research study.

Historically, mastic gum has had many commercial uses, dating as far back as the Greek Empire where it was used as a form of chewing gum.It traditionally has been used as a treatment for dyspepsia and other disorders of the digestive tract.astic gum has been shown in a recent study to apparently inhibit growth of H. pylori as well as act as an antibiotic against the bacterium. Mastic gum recently has been tested against ulcer formation and healing in various models. One study involved experimentally induced gastric and duodenal ulcers in rats.

Single eyelid incision for exposure of the zygomatic bone and orbital reconstruction
|
The increasing emphasis on open reduction and bone-grafting techniques in the treatment of facial fractures has required a search for incisions which provide generalized exposure of all fracture sites. A requirement for these incisions is that the aesthetic results be improved over those usually utilized for facial fracture reduction. It has been a curious fact that some surgeons performing different procedures in the same anatomic area utilize one set of incisions for aesthetic eyelid surgery and another for facial fracture reduction. Apparently, noticeable scars are to be accepted as a sequel to facial fracture treatment but are not appropriate following cosmetic surgical procedures.

Long-term results after lateral canthal advancement for unilateral coronal synostosis.
|
The procedure of lateral canthal advancement was carried out to correct unilateral coronal synostosis in 39 consecutive patients at The Hospital for Sick Children during a 20-year period. Thirty-seven children were available for follow-up study, and results were considered to be good or excellent in 81% of them. Liberation of the supraorbital margin and release of stenotic skull base sutures are crucial for a successful result. The severity of the process and the age of the patient were not restrictive factors in regard to indication for this procedure. Some patients showed a continuous improvement with time. Morbidity was minimal. It is suggested that lateral canthal advancement is the procedure of choice for unilateral coronal synostosis.

Coblator Surgery-Recent Advance in ENT. Coblation is a method used by ENT surgeons to perform tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and turbinate reduction and the treatment of snoring. Unlike traditional electrocautery methods, Coblation methods use radiofrequency (RF) to remove tissue. RF is a form of energy like radio waves, but with a higher frequency.

From this study, we could not conclude that coblation tonsillectomy is a less painful technique than electrocautery tonsillectomy in adolescents and adults. However, coblation tonsillectomy warrants further research because of the tendency towards less postoperative pain and otalgia.

The investigators found that the mylohyoid injection did not significantly enhance pulpal anesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve block. Therefore, the result of the study does not lend much credibility to the notion that the mylohyoid nerve is a major factor in failure with the inferior alveolar nerve block.Accuracy of the Injection It has been theorized that an inaccurate injection contributes to inadequate mandibular anesthesia.herefore, the use of commercial needles with markers to indicate needle bevel is not necessary. Cross Innervation Cross innervation from the contralateral inferior alveolar nerve has been implicated in failure to achieve anesthesia in anterior teeth after an inferior alveolar injection.

where does the radial nerve insert
|
The radial nerve originates as a terminal branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. It goes through the arm, first in the posterior compartment of the arm, and later in the anterior compartment of the arm, and continues in the posterior compartment of the forearm.t is commonly believed that the radial nerve also provided motor innervation to the long head of the triceps. However, a study conducted in 2004 determined that, in 20 cadaveric specimens and 15 surgical dissections on participants, the long head was innervated by a branch of the axillary nerve in all cases.

Radial-tunnel syndrome refers to compression or entrapment of the radial nerve at the outside of the elbow. It is frequently caused by repetitive wrist and finger extension or turning of the forearm. Symptoms can occur at the elbow where the nerve is compressed or near the base of thumb, or anywhere in between.

does carpal tunnel come back after surgery
|
Yes: Unfortunately carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) may recur in a small population of patients. This is best assessed by your md using a physical exam and a emg/ncv (needle study of your nerve /muscles) exam. The good news is that most patients do well with open carpal tunnel release surgery in the case of recurrence.ntrapment of the median nerve at the wrist is how we describe carpal tunnel. There are 8 carpal bones, but the hamate and pisiform form the ulnar side. The trapezium and scaphoid for the radial side. Flex the 3rd digit and look at the palmar hand side.

Defined-benefit Pension Plans: Are They as Good as They Seem?
|
Defined-benefit pension plans were in a worse state than previously reported due to managements' ability to manage the assumptions, according to our study. This empirical paper examined whether managers would have used unreasonable discount rates and assumed rates of return for their pension obligation and assets in order to improve their financial position. We found companies were 4 times more likely to have used an unreasonable discount rate thereby reporting a better funding status than was warranted. We also found, companies were 34 times more likely to have used an unreasonable rate of return for calculating pension expense thereby increasing net income. This paper has implications for employees who have a defined-benefit pension plan; employers who want to be attractive to future employees; and governments that provide retirement supplements for their citizens.

The impact of increased disclosure requirements and the standardization of accounting practices on earnings management through the reserve for income taxes
|
We examine whether the regulatory changes required by the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. (FIN) 48 reduced the propensity for earnings management through the reserve for income taxes. Given prior evidence that firms use this reserve to manage earnings to beat the consensus analyst forecast, the regulatory changes implemented by both SOX and FIN 48 allow us to study the effects of accounting regulation on earnings management. We find that neither SOX nor FIN 48 reduced earnings management through the reserve for income taxes. Thus, in contrast to research that examines whether SOX affected nontax, accrual-based earnings management, our results suggest managers continue to take advantage of their discretion over the accounting for income taxes to beat the consensus analyst forecast in both the post-SOX and post-FIN 48 periods.

Using data from 2004 SIPP, matched to job demands from O*Net, we provide new estimates of disability-related wage discrimination. We apply state-of-the-art econometric methods to wage models which include job demands and interactions between demands and functional limitations. The interaction terms are interpreted as measures of how well disabled workers ?match? to jobs which minimize the effects of functional limitations. The results suggest traditional discrimination models underestimate potential effects of disability-related discrimination by penalizing workers for limitations which may not affect their job performance. The bias is greater for men, who generally appear to find better matches than do women.

Factors Affecting Readiness for Low Vision Interventions in Older Adults
|
We sought to identify factors that facilitate and inhibit readiness for low vision interventions in people with vision loss, conceptualized as readiness for change in the way they perform daily activities.We conducted 10 semistructured interviews with older adults with low vision and analyzed the results using grounded theory concepts.Themes involving factors that facilitated change included desire to maintain or regain independence, positive attitude, and presence of formal social support. Themes related to barriers to change included limited knowledge of options and activity not a priority. Themes that acted as both barriers and facilitators were informal social support and community resources.This study provides insight into readiness to make changes in behavior and environment in older adults with vision loss. Study findings can help occupational therapy practitioners practice client-centered care more effectively and promote safe and satisfying daily living activity performance in this population.

Using data from 2004 SIPP, matched to job demands from O*Net, we provide new estimates of disability-related wage discrimination. We apply state-of-the-art econometric methods to wage models which include job demands and interactions between demands and functional limitations. The interaction terms are interpreted as measures of how well disabled workers ?match? to jobs which minimize the effects of functional limitations. The results suggest traditional discrimination models underestimate potential effects of disability-related discrimination by penalizing workers for limitations which may not affect their job performance. The bias is greater for men, who generally appear to find better matches than do women.

Explaining gender differences in caregiver distress: the roles of emotional attentiveness and coping styles.
|
In previous studies, female caregivers generally reported more distress than did male caregivers. This study assess the validity of 2 explanations of this gender difference. The 1st model hypothesizes that male caregivers are less likely to be attentive to their emotions and, therefore, fail to recognize and report distress. The 2nd model hypothesizes that women are socialized to use coping styles that are less effective for alleviating distress. The data partially supported both explanations. These results support the importance of seeking explanations for observed gender differences

Abstract This study estimates the employment effects of industry-specific, collectively bargained minimum wages in Germany for two occupations associated with the construction sector. I propose a truly exogenous control group in contrast to the control group design used in the literature. Further, a difference-in-differences-in-differences estimator is presented as a robustness test for occupation-specific and/or industry-specific, time-varying, unobserved heterogeneity. I do not find a significantly negative employment effect, even though the minimum wage is binding in (East) Germany. Possible explanations include substitution effects, non-compliance and models of monopsonic competition.

Pain in the ear--with special reference to referred pain.
|
This study was carried out to determine the true pathology in a group of patients (100) who presented to the outpatient clinic with pain in the ear, as their main or only complaint. An analysis of the results is presented and the literature is reviewed. From this study, it appears that referred pain is commoner than pain due to lesions in the ear itself, as seen in an Out-Patient Clinic.

[Comparison of two nonspecific immune stimuli in antiblastic chemotherapy].
|
Antiblastic chemotherapy was combined with two aspecific immune stimuli, Levamisole Corynebacterium parvum, in 48 and 55 neoplastic patients respectively. C. parvum was found to be more easy to handle, particularly since Levamisole, albeit compensated by absolute lymphocytosis in many cases. In addition, C. parvum proved more effective in patients with lung and oro-pharyngeal neoplasias, whereas Levamisole appeared to be of greater use in breast cancer. Both stimuli led to improved coenaesthesia and performance status by comparison with a control group. It can thus be asserted that aspecific immunotherapy should have a place in the multidisciplinary approach currently sought.

[Bronchitis--a social medical study (author's transl)].
|
1. Every third or fourth patient visiting an outpatients department for pulmonary diseases was found to have chronic bronchitis. 2. Twice as many manual workers as other workers suffer from chronic bronchitis. This difference seems to be related to the dusty conditions to which manual workers are exposed. Manual workers in clean conditions have the same proportion of chronic bronchitis as non manual workers. 3. Up to the age of sixty there is no difference in the incidence of chronic bronchitis in male and female patients. Above the age of sixty the incidence in males exceeds than in females. 4. No difference between male and female patients up to the age of sixty years is also in regard of the combination of chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema.

Previous estimates of the effects of the Seattle and Denver income maintenance experiments on labor supply indicate that persons eligible for experimental payments reduced their work effort by appreciable amounts. However, these estimates have all been based on data that were self-reported during interviews by participants in the experiment. This paper investigates whether the estimates are biased by differences between treatment and control groups in reporting accuracy. Our results, which utilize employer-reported information on participants' work effort, suggest that the experiment's effects on several categories of Seattle and Denver participants were less adverse than estimates based on self-reported interview data imply.

Les ruptures du contrat de travail : mise en perspective
|
This study places into perspective the contractual and the statutory logic relating to the breach of an employment contract. Indeed, if an employment relationship has a patrimonial contractual dimension, it is equally a contract between two physical or moral persons which has an extra-patrimonial aspect. The first part therefore describes the tensions which arise during the evolution of the qualification. As to the second part, covering the applicable regime, it develops around the theme of demonstrating how the right of dismissal illustrates the protection of the fundamental rights of the employee.

Does the search subsidy provided by unemployment insurance (UI) help workers find better jobs by or does the resulting increased time out of work lead to skill depreciation and lower reemployment wages? This paper investigates this question by exploiting strict age thresholds in the German UI system that determine workers’ maximum potential UI benefit duration. Using a regression discontinuity (RD) design we show that longer potential benefit durations lead to sharp increases in nonemployment durations while lowering post-unemployment wages. We present a new theoretical result that shows how the average eect of UI extensions on reemployment wages can be decomposed into a reservation

A look at the relationship between industrial dynamics and aggregate fluctuations
|
Starting with the pioneering work of [23], the study of the determinants and the shape of the steady-state distribution of firms’ size has long fascinated economists. While the conventional view received from the seminal work of e.g. [29], [27] and [42] holds that the firms’ size distribution is significantly right-skewed and approximately log-normal, recent empirical research has lent support to the view suggested by H. Simon and his co-author ([32]), according to whom a Pareto-Levy (or power law) distribution seems to return a better fit to the data for the whole distribution ([3]), or at least for its upper tail (Ramsden and Kiss-Haypal, 2000; [18]).

Employers Worry About World Cup Absentees

A Dutch insurer has a new policy ready for the national soccer team's World Cup run beginning in June. It's offering employers insurance against a sudden rise in staff sick days. Companies have learned about the problem from bitter experience. Two years ago, tens of thousands of Dutch workers called in sick during the European Championships. On game days, sickness levels rose 20 percent.

benefits of weighing yourself every day
|
People in the study who weighed every day lost more weight or maintained their weight better than people who did not. The early findings must be confirmed, but researcher Jennifer A. Linde, PhD, tells WebMD that daily weighing may serve the same function as keeping track of daily food intake and exercise.
|
1 Consistently eat the same number of calories each day for a few weeks, and keep your activity level fairly consistent as well. 2 Weigh yourself about once per week first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (or, weigh in every morning and take the weekly average). 3 Monitor what happens.

Does joining the gym really pay off?
|
YES it pays off... for the gym. Fewer than 1 in 4 people who purchase a gym membership will be using it 3 months later. If having a trainer will keep you motivated, the gym can help but it's usually at an added cost. If your having trouble staying motivated to work out at home, I predict it will be even harder to make the 15 minute trip each way.

Smile analysis: A review Part I
|
Smile design is the important aesthetic goal of every clinician. As in today’s era smile is more important than ideal occlusion. But it’s a multi-factorial process. There is no universal “ideal” smile. Smile analysis is first based on soft tissue repose, how the lips animate on smile, gingival display, crown length, and other attributes of the smile. The second is the facial change throughout a patient’s lifetime. Clinician should rank these smile attributes in order of their importance in creating a balanced smile. There are various methods of smile analysis. Developing a “standard of normalcy” for smiles is important as it would give guidelines for orthodontist and clinicians to have better treatment results. This article deals with all the different process of smile designing and lays norms for a beautiful smile.

We study the relaxational dynamics of the one-spin facilitated Ising model introduced by Fredrickson and Andersen. We show the existence of a critical time which separates an initial regime in which the relaxation is exponentially fast and aging is absent from a regime in which relaxation becomes slow and aging effects are present. The presence of this fast exponential process and its associated critical time is in agreement with some recent experimental results on fragile glasses. @S0163-1829~96!04426-8#

Orthodontia, also known as orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, is a specialty field of dentistry. An orthodontist is a specialist who has undergone special training in a dental school or college after they have graduated in dentistry.

What Is Orthodontics? You may not know what âorthodonticsâ is, but youâve definitely seen it in action. Who hasnât grown up with a friend with braces or headgear⦠if you didnât have it done yourself? Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on straightening teeth and fixing jaw disorders. Orthodontists study to become dentists, then spend another 2 or 3 years studying with an experienced professional. You don't go see an orthodontist to get your teeth cleaned, or to get a cavity filled.
