Introduction: Mouthwashes are important means used in chemical control of dental plaque.There is strong evidence suggestive of better effectiveness, when fluoride is added to chlorhexidine mouthwash.Aim: To assess the anti-plaque efficacy of Chlorhexidine combined with Fluoride mouthwash and to measure its impact on plaque accumulation and on plaqu
Estimation of black-box functions often requires evaluating an extensive number of expensive noisy points.Learning algorithms can actively compare the similarity between the evaluated and unevaluated points to determine the most informative Dab Rig subsequent points for efficient estimation of expensive functions in a sequential procedure.In this p
Genetic improvement of maize with elevated levels of zinc (Zn) can reduce Zn deficiency among populations who rely on maize as a staple.Inbred lines of quality protein maize (QPM) Extendable Table and non-QPM with elevated Zn levels in the kernel have been identified.However, information about the optimal strategy to utilize the germplasm in breedi
Abstract In recent years, there has been great interest in the possibility of using artificial limbs as an extension of the human body as well as replacement of lost limbs.In this paper, we develop a sixth finger system as an extension of the human body.We then investigate how an extra robotic thumb, that works as a sixth finger and gives somatosen
Abstract Background The control of onchocerciasis in the African region is currently based mainly on the mass drug administration of ivermectin.Whilst this has been found to limit morbidity, it does not stop transmission.In the absence of a macrofilaricide, there is a need for an integrated approach for disease management, which includes vector con
