Abstract Background Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is an important measure of disease and intervention outcomes.Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an inflammatory condition that is associated with obesity and click here adversely affects OHRQoL.Obese patients with CP incur a double burden of disease.In this article we aimed to explore the
The Effect of Geotechnical Factors in Road of Basrah, Southern Iraq
Most Basrah roads are conducted to a major failure in their layers and bases, which appears in the form of cracking, crushing, landing, as well as massive holes.The influence of geotechnical factors on the performance of Basrah roads has been studied.Sixteen sites were selected for sampling, which are Al-Medaina, West Qurna, Al-Hartha, Al-Dir, Shat
Robust control of shunt active power filter using interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller for power quality improvement
It is well-known that shunt active power filter (SAPF) is widely used to reduce harmonic distortion and to compensate reactive power in electrical power systems.DC bus voltage control of SAPF is very important for excellent power quality.In the control of SAPF, DC bus voltage is controlled by conventional control methods such as PI and PID controll
Assessing the diversity of whiteflies infesting cassava in Brazil
Background The necessity of a competent vector for transmission is a primary ecological factor driving the host range expansion of plant arthropod-borne viruses, with vectors playing an essential role in disease emergence.Cassava begomoviruses severely constrain cassava production in Africa.Curiously, begomoviruses have never been reported in cassa
