Dense bioceramics with improved mechanical properties have been prepared using sol–gel derived zinc doped biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) powders. Zinc concentration was varied in the range of 0,1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 15mol%. The compaction of the powders followed by sintering provided the dense ceramics. The effects of zinc concentration doped and

Most reported works on fingertip detection focus on extended fingers where the hand is not occluded by another object. This paper proposes a machine-vision-based technique exploiting the contour of the hand and fingers for detecting the fingertips when the hand is manipulating a ball, which means that the fingers are closed and the hand is partiall

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Prehypertension is a precursor of hypertension, with high prevalence in young adults. Psychosocial stress can be one of the modifiable risk factors for hypertension. The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between coping m

Introduction: Preoperative templating is a crucial step in a total knee arthroplasty. We conducted a prospective study of 100 patients subjected for total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to determine whether the size of the prostheses used in primary knee arthroplasty may be reliable and accurately predicted using acetate templating tec

Most thinkers, educational practitioners, and parents acknowledge that schools are not only brickstructures, which role is traditionally of informationdispensing, but, rather, schools are ought to educate the students, and mold them into well-balanced social beings, who are active members of the society, and who dynamically interact with their envi

For most scholars, the concept of selling short, where financial assets are sold without prior possession or ownership, transgresses Islamic principles. However, the Sharīʿah Advisory Council of the Securities Commission of Malaysia (SAC) went against the majority by permitting short selling in 2006. Conventional finance points out that short sel

Purpose. Benzimidazole class of compound is found to have diverse biological properties. From the literature study, it is observed that depression is a severe mental disease affecting a huge population and pain is affecting about 20% of world population. In continuation of our previous research work, we selected benzimidazole pharmacophore to furth

Bent Boolean functions play a very significant role in the design of strong symmetric cryptosystems. In this paper, we present an analysis of Bent functions in the Haar domain. We first present a brief overview of Bent Boolean functions and then derive expressions for the Haar spectrum of Bent functions. The Haar spectral coefficients of Bent funct
