Background: Glass ionomer cements are widely used in pediatric practice due to their advantage of fluoride release and chemical bond to tooth structure.Adherence of the restorative material to the cavity walls is one of the most important characteristic for it to be proven as an ideal material as it prevents microleakage.Aims and Objectives: This s
BACKGROUND AND METHODS: To guide achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, we used the Lives Saved Tool to provide a novel simulation of potential maternal, fetal, and newborn lives and costs saved by scaling up midwifery and obstetrics services, including family planning, in 58 low- and middle-income countries.Typical midwifery and obstetri
Background: Competency represents an expectation of skills in a professional practice which can be viewed in various aspects and can be developed over time.To date, there has been no evidence as to how Thai occupational therapists perceive their professional competencies.Objectives: The objectives of this study were 1) to describe the perceptions o
Superalloy 718 is a high temperature nickel (Ni) based alloy, widely used in aeroengines due to its Idler Support Plate superior mechanical performance at high temperature.It is vulnerable to alloying segregation and Laves phase precipitation in fusion zone (FZ) which deteriorates the tensile properties of Superalloy 718 joints.Hence a newly emerge
A feedforward neural network ensemble trained through metaheuristic Outdoor Sling Swivel Chair (set of 2) algorithms has been proposed by researchers to produce a group of optimal neural networks.This method, however, has proven to be very time-consuming during the optimization process.To overcome this limitation, we propose a metaheuristic-based l
