The aim of this clinical study is to determine the efficiency of miswak (cleaning sticks – chewing sticks) in comparison with toothbrush in removingdental plaque from facial, lingual and interproximal surfaces and reducing Gingivitis. A total of 56 dental students who were divided into two groups were included in the study. This study was divided into two stages. The first stage, and after the experimental plaque accumulation, the volunteers cleaned their teeth (toothbrush or miswak) for five minutes. Then the clinical measurements were recorded. The second stage, the volunteers used according to their group either toothbrush and dentifrice or miswak twice a day for five minutes for three weeks. In the first stage, there was no difference between the two groups in gingivitis. The values of Turesky’s index to assess the plaque on facial and lingual surfaces were a little higher for miswak users, but the difference was statistically insignificant. While the cleaning of interproximal spaces was more evident in toothbrush users, either facial or lingual, and the difference was significant (P < 0.01). Generally, neither miswak nor toothbrush were able to produce completely interproximal dental health. So, the cleaning of facial surfaces by using toothbrush or miswak was better than lingual surfaces (P <0.05). In the second stage, the plaque and gingival values were higher in miswak users, but the difference was not significant. The result: miswak cannot remove dental plaque completely, but the site of plaque on the facial and lingual surfaces were almost similar to those among toothbrush users. Finally, a toothbrush possessed a clear superiority in cleaning interproximal spaces, thus making it the oral Hygiene aid of choice.

Substantial amounts of work are required to clean large collections of digitized books for NLP analysis, both because of the presence of errors in the scanned text and the presence of duplicate volumes in the corpora. In this paper, we consider the i ssue of deduplication in the presence of optical character recognition (OCR) errors. We present methods to handle these errors, evaluated on a collection of 19,347 texts from the Project Gutenberg dataset and 96,635 texts from the HathiTrust Library. We demonstrate that improvements in language models now enable the detection and correction of OCR errors without consideration of the scanning image itself. The inconsistencies found by aligning pairs of scans of the same underlying work provides training data to build models for detecting and correcting errors. We identify the canonical version for each of 17,136 repeatedly-scanned books from 58,808 scans. Finally, we investigate methods to detect and correct errors in single-copy texts. We show that on average, our method corrects over six times as many errors as it introduces. We also provide interesting analysis on the relation between scanning quality and other factors such as location and publication year.
The research aims to find a way to calculate the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of devices absorption foam used in the wet roads to clean the combustion products of SO2 to increase the effectiveness of these methods and economic. For it h as been studied heat exchange and hydrodynamic device absorption with bilateral phase moving layer (foam) with different models of contact devices, and on the basis of experimental data and mathematical analysis have been obtained equations that allow assessment of the impact of contextual factors in the core layer foam variables. It was also stressed that the heat exchange in the field of foam layer is characterized by high efficiency heat exchange between the gas and the liquid in the foam layer and between the foam layer and the surface submerged, and give the temperature coefficient depends on the initial conditions of gaseous and liquid phase and the temperatures of the dew point of the gas and liquid teams at the entrance device absorption. As for the effectiveness of cleaning the combustion gases from the cleaning degree of SO2 in the upper border of the foam system up to (95,95%) on stage touches one. The study also allowed increase reliability for wet cleaning system by selecting the optimum poisoning and on the basis of data obtained.
Elastin and collagen loss from the dermal layer is essential cause for wrinkles in the face. Dermal fillers is the solution for this problem and this study compared clinical improvement degree and the duration of correction between hyaluronic acid (Matrigel) versus bovine collagen (Zyplast) for the correction of nasolabial fold.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success of Formocresol pulpotomy compared with Ferric sulfate and Electro coagulation and Laser pulpotomy in primary teeth. Fourty seven primary second molars of children aged 5-8 years, were divided r andomly into four groups: 10 Formocresol , 13 Ferric sulfate , 13 Electro coagulation, 10 Laser. All teeth were filled with ZOE and sealed with Compomer, and S.S.Crown as final restoration. The success rate was 90 % - 84.6 % - 84.6 % - 83.3 % respectively. These differences were not statistically significant p=0.05), but there were a relation between the pretreatment physiologic resorption of roots and the type of hemorrhage during the amputation procedure. This study revealed that Ferric sulfate, and Electro coagulation, and Laser pulpotomy are good alternative to Formocresol pulpotomy.
