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.

how many years of schooling do endodontists have
|
All dentists are trained in diagnosis and endodontic therapy, however, some teeth can be especially difficult to diagnose and treat. Thatâs why you may have been referred to an endodontic specialist. In addition to dental school, endodontists receive two or more years of advanced education in this kind of treatment. They study root canal techniques and procedures in greater depth, for diagnosis and treatment of more difficult cases. For this reason, many dentists choose to refer their patients to endodontists.
|
So in comparing the educational backgrounds of a dentist vs orthodontist, both require extensive schooling before practicing. A dentist must complete 8 years of higher education while an orthodontist has to complete 10 or 11 years in order to specialize.

They are doing that in many smaller communities. Just imagine you owned the local grocery store and are making a good living. Walmart comes into town, you are out of business. You will never be able to get the wholesale prices that they get or sell the different products that they are able to.\n\nThey are lowering income levels of the entire community when they move in. That is according to their own study.\n\nAnother issue with Walmart is how they deal with suppliers. If you had a farm and sold your produce to Walmart, they will say we need a 20% discount from you. And if they are you only customer, what do you do?\n\nThey are hard on the community (store owners) they move in and the suppliers.

what is the net economic effect of illegal immigration
|
Economic Impact. The most important and avidly debated effects of undocumented immigration involve the United Statesâ economy and labor force. It is estimated that there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States today, and their impact on the economy can be perceived as positive as well as negative. (28) The overall effect is unclear, and this page aims to present both sides of the debate. The main argument in support of undocumented immigration is that migrant workers do jobs that Americans do not want to do. Given that most Americans do not compete with undocumented workers for jobs, there has not been a significant shift in the wage rate.

what are the consequences of immigration policy
|
Immigration to the United States is the international movement of individuals who are not natives or do not possess citizenship in order to settle, reside, study or to take-up employment in the United States. It has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States.

The economic impact of illegal immigration is far smaller than other trends in the economy, such as the increasing use of automation in manufacturing or the growth in global trade. Those two factors have a much bigger impact on wages, prices and the health of the U.S. economy. 1 Share. 2 0Facebook.

InAs Nanoscale Islands on Si Surface: A New Type of Quantum Dots
|
Abstract : We study epitaxial growth of InAs on Si(100) surface using molecular beam epitaxy. We found that at moderate arsenic fluxes and substate tempeartures (470 C) the growth proceeds in Stranski-Krastanow growth mode with formation of mesoscopic dislocated clusters on top of the two-dimensional periodically-corrugated InAs wetting layer. At lower temperatures (250 C) a dense array of selof-orgarnized nanoscale InAs quantum dots with good size and shape uniformity is formed.

Some, but not all, earthquakes are related to volcanoes. For example, most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. However, most earthquakes are caused by the interaction of the plates not the movement of magma.Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock.Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again.owever, most earthquakes are caused by the interaction of the plates not the movement of magma. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again.
|
Volcanic activity. Where tectonic plates meet, the Earthâs crust becomes unstable as the plates slide past each other, push against each other, or ride under or over one another. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen at the boundaries between plates. Magma (molten rock) is less dense than the crust. It can rise to the surface through weaknesses in the crust, forming a volcano. Geologists study volcanoes to try to predict future eruptions. Volcanoes can be very destructive, but some people choose to live near them because volcanic soil is very fertile. Earthquakes

A vision model is designed using low-level vision principles so that it can perform as a human observer model for camouflage assessment. In a camouflaged-object assessment task, using military patterns in an outdoor environment, human performance at detection and recognition is compared with the human observer model. This involved field data acquisition and subsequent image calibration, a human experiment, and the design of the vision model. Human and machine performance, at recognition and detection, of military patterns in two environments was found to correlate highly. Our model offers an inexpensive, automated, and objective method for the assessment of camouflage where it is impractical, or too expensive, to use human observers to evaluate the conspicuity of a large number of candidate patterns. Furthermore, the method should generalize to the assessment of visual conspicuity in non-military contexts.

China military has been one of the most powerful in the world. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the existing China military camouflages using camouflage algorithm, Camouflage Similarity Index (CSI). CSI ranges from 0 to 1 and the best value 0 is achieved if the selected camouflage perfectly merges with the environment. Eight existing China military camouflages were evaluated under six different backgrounds (20x50 pixels). Post-hoc Tukey test found that there was no significant difference between each existing military camouflage indicating that all camouflages had the same level of concealment in the selected backgrounds. This study represents the first attempt to investigate the effectiveness of China military and the results can be very useful for China military organizations, textile manufacturers, and academicians particularly related to the enhancement of the existing design.

Oppression is defined and identified as the basis of a considerable range of psychopathology. An exploratory transcultural model of counseling based on oppression is introduced with the goal of serving both oppressed and oppressive clients. Perception, as perspicacity, is the key to this exploratory model. The authors suggest that oppressed persons generally possess a considerable degree of perception of their oppressors even though they may be unaware of it. Research from the literature on depressive realism is used to infer support. Counseling approaches to oppressed persons are introduced including a new approach to cognitive therapy and an emphasis on liberation rather than adjustment. Counseling approaches to oppressors are also discussed based on the rehabilitation of empathy and perception.

Suasion, unlike coercion, brings about certain forms of politics that are unique, quite unlike coercively based policies. Specifically, the author explores the advent of public health to discover how suasive policies affect politics. ::: ::: Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications, and to watch over their fate.

This chapter intends to understand why the mother Nu Xuebao was eclipsed by the daughter Nu Xuebao amid the contingency of historical, sociopolitical, and cultural circumstances and how the process entailed complicated interactions and intersections of gender, racial, and nationalistic issues. It shows rather objectively the multiple discourses that women formed in response to the rapid changes of the time. The analysis of the process, however, does challenge the longstanding binary between radical/revolutionary/progressive women on the one side and conservative/reactionary/regressive women on the other, when we see a mild mother talking in her own voice, while a radical daughter parrots every sentence of her father. Keywords: Cainu ; China; daughter; mother; Nu Xuebao ; Women Reformers

This moment, Margaret my sister coughs from a real coldno hacking now from the dreadful summer mote. The modest bears promise: our winter crop is planted and all that remains is the watching, mounds curled to the walnut tree. I marvel at them whenever: from the kitchen window washing dishes, cooking, from the bedroom sewing the infinity quilt (yes, stilI! still! ) .

This paper shows a new method for integration of Kano's model in quality function deployment (QFD) through a case study of evaluating the 9th China-Asean Exposition. The QFD could help collect customer's needs and translate them into the relative arrangement and management of exposition. But in order to understand the customers' needs accurately, the paper introduces Kano's model so as to distinguish the excitement needs, the basic needs and the performance needs. This methodology has been used in product design and production plan. This study uses it to evaluate that the exposition satisfies its exhibitors' requirements to what extent, which starts a new application field for QFD and Kano's model. Finally, this paper gives some implication advice for the China-Asean Exposition so as to help improve its quality.

Re-Orienting the Comparative Study of Civil Service Systems∗
|
Civil service systems are a key analytic unit in modern public administration, but theory about them lags behind their practical importance and the attention they have received from scholars. This article argues that theory building has focused on bureaucracy rather than civil service systems per se and that empirical research has been dominated by functionalist logic. Future research needs to define more rigorously and measure the properties of civil service systems and study them more holistically, particularly in relation to their environments. Three ideal types are discussed to illustrate some of the implications of these recommendations.

A Tentative Discussion of the Relation between Individualism and the "Contemperary Literature"
|
Before the 1980s,individualism had long been pressed,disgraded and cleared out in the contemperary Chinese society and literature,which resulted in the generalized status que of the contemperary literature.The fact that the main stream discourse,which put forward collectivism,showed their anxiety for individualism discourse proved that individualism,as a kind of thought,visibly or invisibly,existed.Individualism suffered serious criticism in the public literature,which brought about its fate of activating its life underground.The underground literature was characterized by its protruding individulism thought,which enabled itself to be entitled to reach a height that could represent the creation and thought of the people of that time.It was individualism thought that made these works own a relatively high place and value in the history of literature and thought.

"Guo Cui" and "Xue Heng" Schools in the Reflection of Modern Thoughts
|
The paper attempts to prove that there are many opposed views between the "Guo Cui" School, "Xue Heng" School and the May-Fourth New Culture Movement. However, the opposed points not only mean the new trend from studying west and Chinese tradition, but also mean the different new views on studying west between them. Although they have their different importance and localizations, they should be respected by us as same as the May-Fourth New Culture Movement, one of the thinking resources in the process of Chinese culture modernity thoughts, when we look back to this course.

The acquisition of Chinese relative clauses: contrasting two theoretical approaches
|
This study examines the comprehension of relative clauses by Chinese-speaking children, and evaluates the validity of the predictions of the Dependency Locality Theory (Gibson, 1998, 2000) and the Relativized Minimality approach (Friedmann, Belletti & Rizzi, 2009). One hundred and twenty children from three to eight years of age were tested by using a character–sentence matching task. We found a preference for subject relative clauses that persists as children grow older. This preference is predicted by the Relativized Minimality approach, but not by the Dependency Locality Theory. In addition, we observed a fine-grained class of errors in comprehension. We discuss it in the light of the head-final status of Chinese relative clauses.

Consumer styles and media uses of generation Xers in Taiwan
|
This study examines Taiwanese consumer orientations in relation to media exposure, and seeks to determine how relevant the concept of a ‘Generation X’ is in the case of Taiwan. A causal structural model was proposed and tested with a view to examining the impact of generation and other demographic variables. Results indicate significant differences between generations. In general, the Xers showed greater concerns for fashion and self‐expression, and were greater users of electronic media. The paper considers these generation differences against the backdrop of the disparity between traditional Confucian values and Western consumer culture.

Effect of pruning intensities on the productivity of kinnow mandarin
|
Eight year old kinnow mandarin trees raised on Jatti Khatti rootstock and planted at 6×3 m spacing were pruned in order to have uniform fruiting. Removal of alternate trees and moderate pruning treatments responded to higher production of growth and yield. Trees alternately removed gave maximum yield and better quality. This treatment was followed by removal of extra growth three feet from the tree centre in east-west direction. Hence, removal of alternate trees or moderate pruning is recommended after eight years of field age in high density plantation.

What are academics in China encouraged to use that their American counterparts are not?
|
Wang, Štrkalj et al. (2003) examined the use of race as a biological concept in research papers published in China's only biological anthropology journal, Acta Anthropologica Sinica. The study showed that the race concept was widely used among Chinese anthropologists. In a 2007 review paper, Štrkalj suggested that the stark contrast of the racial approach between the United States and China was due to the fact that race is a factor for social cohesion among the ethnically diverse people of China, whereas "race" is a very sensitive issue in America and the racial approach is considered to undermine social cohesion - with the result that in the socio-political context of US academics scientists are encouraged not to use racial categories, whereas in China they are encouraged to use them.

One man who has encountered this problem is Taiwanese politician Yu Shyi-kun, due to the rarity of the last character in his name. Newspapers have dealt with this problem in varying ways, including using software to combine two existing, similar characters, including a picture of the personality, or, especially as is the case with Yu Shyi-kun, simply substituting a homophone for the rare character in the hope that the reader would be able to make the correct inference. Taiwanese political posters, movie posters etc. will often add the bopomofo phonetic symbols next to such a character. Japanese newspapers may render such names and words in katakana instead of kanji, and it is accepted practice for people to write names for which they are unsure of the correct kanji in katakana instead.

Effects of an online problem-based learning program on sexual health care competencies among oncology nurses: a pilot study.
|
Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of an online problem-based learning (e-PBL) program that offers multimedia scenarios to develop sexual health care competencies. A pretest–posttest control group design was used with two randomized groups in one Korean tertiary hospital. The sample included 32 RNs who cared for oncology patients. The intervention group completed an e-PBL cycle consisting of eight tutorials. Nurses in the intervention group scored significantly higher on knowledge than did those in the control group. The intervention group exhibited no significant differences in attitude and practices following the intervention. The results show the potential of e-PBL to enhance traditional PBL by offering multimedia scenarios in an interactive and flexible learning environment.

Are philosophers of science limited to conducting autopsies on dead scientific theories, or might they also help resolve contemporary methodological disputes in science? This essay (1) gives an overview of thought experiments, especially in mathematics; (2) outlines three major positions on the current dose-response controversy for ionizing radiation; and (3) sketches an original mathematical thought experiment that might help resolve the low-dose radiation conflict. This thought experiment relies on the assumptions that radiation "hits'' are Poisson distributed and that background conditions cause many more radiation-induced cancers than human activities. The essay closes by responding to several key objections to the position defended here.

Interpretive phenomenological analysis methodology was used to explore coping strategies used by hospitalized Jordanian adolescents with cancer. In-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted with 10 Jordanian adolescents, aged 13 to18 years, who were receiving chemotherapy for cancer. During treatment, participants were confronted with physical, psychosocial, and emotional distresses resulting from the disease process, the treatment, and its associated side-effects. To cope with the impact of their illness, participants utilized 4 coping strategies: “Strengthening spiritual convictions,” “Being optimistic and rebuilding hope,” “Enhancing appearance,” and “Finding self again.” The findings of this study can assist health team members to promote positive psychological care to Arab Muslim adolescents with cancer in a supportive and therapeutic treatment environment.

we examine motivations for, and costs/benefits of, participation in three interviews across a one-year period among women recently exposed to intimate partner abuse (IPA). Recruited from publicly accessible police reports, women were not informed that the study focused on IPA in recruiting materials or when they scheduled the first interview. Women ' s ratings on the Response to Research Participation Questionnaire (RRPQ) indicated a positive benefit-to-cost ratio across all three interviews. Negative responses to participation as well as severity of IPA and PTSD symptoms did not predict retention at the next interview. These data dem - onstrate that studies asking about IPA experiences, even when survivors do not know in advance that IPA will be the focus of study, can be implemented within a stable benefit-to-cost ratio over time.

The Socialization of Undergraduate Accounting Students
|
One purpose of accounting education is to introduce students to the values and ethical standards of the accounting profession (AAA Bedford Committee Report 1986). This study investigates whether undergraduate accounting education is successful at instilling in accounting students a sense of responsibility to financial statement users. In a longitudinal study of accounting and other business students, we find that accounting students oppose earnings management more strongly during their senior year than they did during their sophomore year. We also find that senior accounting students oppose earnings management more strongly than do senior students in other business disciplines. These results are consistent with a socialization process taking place wherein accounting students learn to give priority to financial statement users' needs, while students majoring in other business disciplines come to identify more closely with the goals of corporate managers.

The disparity between patient and staff perceptions of life experiences associated with the diagnosis of cancer has relevance to our understanding of the dynamics of patient-staff interaction on an oncology unit. In order to better delineate the psychological issues within the staff-patient relationship, 26 advanced cancer patients, 5 oncologists and 10 nursing staff ranked in order of personal importance to the patients, 14 areas of life changes or loss commonly alluded to in the psychosocial oncology literature. Findings indicated considerable interpatient variability in what constitutes a major loss. Staff ratings of patient loss showed greater consistency and overemphasized certain losses. MD’s significantly overrated the importance of pain in these patients. Such biased staff preconceptions about patient values may deleteriously affect the treatment milieu.

Systematic reflection on practice remains a vexed issue for many nurses and the context of a busy hospital environment poses a challenge. As a process to meet this challenge, Grand Rounds is worth considering. Medical practitioners have used this case study-based process over many years almost as a cultural ritual (Myint & Sabanathan, 2005: 297; Wolak, Cairns & Smith, 2008: 176). The format allows exploration of broad topics related to patient care through facilitated discussion with peers (Wolak et al., 2008 p 173). This paper shares how this format was used to encourage ongoing reflective practice, and foster clinical reasoning amongst nurses at The Maitland Hospital.

Endoscopic Stenting Does Not Worsen Long Term Outcomes Amongst Patients Presenting with Obstruction from Colorectal Cancers
|
Background ::: Stenting has been increasingly adopted in colorectal cancer patients presenting with acute large bowel obstruction. However, long-term outcomes of stenting are lacking in the literature. Our study attempts to compare the long-term outcomes of colonic stenting and emergency surgery amongst left-sided colorectal cancer patients presenting with acute large bowel obstruction.

This study investigates couples’ adjustment to rectal cancer and a colostomy using the ‘Classification System of Couple Adjustment to Cancer’, a framework delineating fluctuations in couples’ sense of ‘I’ and ‘We’ in response to cancer. Nine couples affected by rectal cancer and adjusting to life with a colostomy were interviewed. A theoretical thematic analysis of the transcripts was conducted; nearly all ‘I–We’ shifts of the Classification System of Couple Adjustment to Cancer were observed – often in unique ways in response to rectal cancer–specific challenges – and one new shift was described. The results provide a novel and experientially grounded means of conceptualizing complex dyadic coping processes.

Clinical Risk Assessment and Prediction
|
Medicine is by definition a personalized endeavor. Hippocrates emphasized the importance of integrating information about the specific individual and their environment into clinical judgment (Kleisiaris et al., J Med Ethics Hist Med 7:6, 2014). Modern western medicine increasingly makes use of formal Personalized and Precision Medicine (PPM) modalities such as growth curves, risk biomarkers, disease staging, and statistical models. This chapter provides an overview of these tools, describes their contexts of applications, and summarizes their adoption to healthcare. A workflow for developing clinical risk models is also established.

Oral Anticancer Agents: An intervention to promote medication adherence and symptom management
|
Symptom burden and poor adherence to oral anticancer agents remain significant clinical problems. This study examined feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and satisfaction with ADHERE, a nurse practitioner intervention that promotes symptom management and adherence among patients prescribed oral agents. The intervention group (which received one semistructured, face-to-face session followed by three weekly telephone sessions using motivational interviewing, brief cognitive-behavioral therapy, and a toolkit to promote self-management) had significantly lower symptom severity postintervention. Self-reported adherence was high and did not differ by group. Patients reported being highly satisfied with the ADHERE intervention. .

The Canadian National Breast Screening Study: a critical review.
|
Public health planners around the world had been awaiting the preliminary results of the randomized, controlled trial of breast cancer screening performed by the Canadian National Breast Screening Study (CNBSS) during the 1980s. It had been hoped that this large study would answer, with statistical validity, many of the questions concerning breast cancer screening that had not been answered satisfactorily by previous studies. Among the major unresolved issues is the desire to establish "absolute" proof that mammographic screening can benefit women who are between 40 and 49 years old.
