Introduction: Primary care physicians provide a wide range of care including oral health problems (OHPs). However, epidemiological studies on OHPs in medical primary care clinics (MPCCs) are still limited. The prevalence of patients with OHPs in MPCCs and their epidemiological variables were verified in this study. Methods: A comparative cross-sect

This study explored the readiness levels of the secondary school teachers in Nablus to adopt e-learning in four important aspects: technological, psychological, equipment, and overall e-learning readiness, and the influence of gender on these aspects. A total of 475 teachers (236 males and 239 females) from 24 secondary schools in Nablus participat

The "Divine Will on Ribā" means what Allah SWT desires the believers to do through His dislike, condemnation and prohibition of ribā in the Qurãn. This study investigates this matter. It represents a departure from the dominant tradition that focuses on what ribā is. Methodology of analysis is explained at the outset. Data from the Qur�

The waste food material namely crab shell, egg shell and fish bone is screened for biodiesel synthesis by tranesterification reaction to determine the source providing the highest biodiesel yield. The solid oxide materials were calcined at 900°C at 2-4hrs to convert CaCO3 to CaO species. Tranesesterification is carried out at 65°C for 4 hrs with

The trend of research in Social Network Sites have focused on privacy disclosure and its effect on motivation and security . Nevertheless, privacy disclosure needs further attention to address adolescence well being and positive behavior. This study seeks to investigate factors related to parental involvement and social influence on privacy disclos

In this paper, a new hybrid scheme for physical layer security based on encryption and wireless channel pre-compensation is proposed. The security is provided by transforming the basic signal constellation into a higher order signal constellation with the help of conventional encryption method (symmetric key encryption) and then using channel knowl

Objective: To test direct and indirect antimicrobial properties of α-mangostin towards a number of bacteria and fungi. Methods: The experiment was carried out using broth microdilution and checkerboards methods. Activity of α-mangostin paired with an antibiotic was studied by calculating its fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC). Results: The

In this study, the effect of window opening on the drag characteristics of a car is investigated. This additional aerodynamic drag can considerably affect the performance of a car in terms of instability, noise and fuel consumption. Using a 3D car model, the effect of window opening on the drag characteristics was numerically studied using STAR-CCM

LEADME (Laminate Analysis and Design Made Easy), an educational software useful for the analysis and design of laminated composite structure has been developed. The software encompasses both the micro and macro mechanics analysis of lamina and laminate. The highlight of this software is that, apart from usual laminate analysis, the software is capa

Computer science and biology have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship for decades. However, these two dimensions are studied separately and rarely integrated. EEG and ECG have been very useful for capturing the signals of the brain and heart. In computer science, a prime challenge is to interpret these signals into meaningful data and to devel
