The Impact of Overweight Among Children on Salivary Vitamin D, Calcium, and Magnesium in Relation to Dental Caries Severity
...Show More Authors

Vitamin D is one of several nutrients essential for calcium metabolism. Body weight status and magnesium may influence vitamin D activity. To determine whether salivary vitamin D, magnesium, and calcium levels are associated with body weight status and dental caries severity in children, this cross‐sectional research was conducted.

Methods

The sample consisted of 180 boys aged 6–8 years. According to their body mass index (BMI), children were assigned to three groups of 60 boys (normal weight, overweight, and obese). Moreover, within each weight group, the sample was divided into three groups according to caries severity (20 children in each group): mild (dmft ≤ 3), moderate (dmft = 4–6), and severe (dmft ≥ 7). Unstimulated whole saliva was obtained from each child in the morning (9 : 00–11 : 00 a.m.) at least 1 h after food or drink intake. Participants were seated and asked to accumulate saliva in the floor of their mouth and then spit into sterile, prelabeled polypropylene tubes over a 5 min period; the samples were then analyzed to assess salivary vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium concentrations.

Results

Salivary vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium concentrations were significantly higher in boys with normal weight than in overweight and obese boys ( p ≤ 0.05), the same results were recorded in mild caries children compared to those with moderate and severe caries ( p ≤ 0.05). Interactions between BMI and caries severity in vitamin D, magnesium, and calcium were found that reached significant levels.

Conclusion

This study provides preliminary evidence of associations between salivary (vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium) levels and both dental caries and overweight in boys. Given the cross‐sectional design, limited sample size, and homogeneous population, the results should be interpreted with caution. Longitudinal studies are required to validate these biomarkers for routine clinical use.

One of the crucial public health problems worldwide is the urinary tract infections (UTIs) that are derived from uropathogenic bacteria (UPBs). Slime layer is known to have the ability to permit bacteria to achieve smooth surfaces attachment like catheters and prosthetic implants which in turn, facilitate biofilm formation and may cause lethal infections. On the other hand, Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production is considered a growing concern among UPBs due to the limiting of the treatment options and contributes to resistance toward antibiotics. The principal study's point is the finding out the slime layer and ESBL production in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae of uropathogenic origin. Ten ready isolates (five isola

Corrosion Inhibition of Aluminum Alloy 5083
...Show More Authors

The corrosion inhibition of aluminum alloy 5083 by an environment friendly compound called (8- Hydroxyquinoline) in
acidic and alkaline solutions of pH (2 and 12) respectively were studied using weight loss and polarization techniques.
Also to examine the main and combined effects of the inhibitor concentration, pH, and contact time using factorial
experimental design. Results show that corrosion rate decreased with increasing both inhibitor concentration and
contact time and increased with increasing pH value. The polarization curves show that 8-hydroxyquinoline is a
cathodic inhibitor

Survey Study of Factional Order Controllers
...Show More Authors

This is a survey study that presents recent researches concerning factional controllers. It presents several types of fractional order controllers, which are extensions to their integer order counterparts. The fractional order PID controller has a dominant importance, so thirty-one paper are presented for this controller. The remaining types of controllers are presented according to the number of papers that handle them; they are fractional order sliding mode controller (nine papers), fuzzy fractional order sliding mode controller (five papers), fractional order lag-lead compensator (three papers), fractional order state feedback controller (three papers), fractional order fuzzy logic controller (three papers). Finally, several conclusions

Enhance Similarity Measure of Ontologys' Concepts
...Show More Authors

The field of identification of similarity was considered a subject of research strongly recommended in the areas of semantic web, artificial intelligence and linguistic literature. In this paper a new similarity measure is proposed based on the Wu and Palmer measure. This measure is applied on the domain of the pedagogical ontology. Results obtained showed that the new measure gives better relevance of the similarity values compared to the approach of Wu and Palmer and it appears that the proposed measure is advantageous because obtained results showed that it is faster and capable of obtaining results to concepts not located in the same path.

Through this study, the following has been proven, if  is an algebraically paranormal operator acting on separable Hilbert space, then  satisfies the ( ) property and  is also satisfies the ( ) property for all . These results are also achieved for  ( ) property.    In addition, we prove that for a polaroid operator with finite ascent then after the property ( ) holds for  for all.
