Detección de Incrementos de Dimensión Vertical Oclusal Mediante Análisis Cefalométrico de Ricketts
No full textResumenIntroducciónLa rehabilitación de pacientes con desgastes severos es compleja cuando se determina un aumento de Dimensión Vertical. Los métodos de evaluación de Dimensión Vertical no entregan una información precisa para definir cuánto incremento es necesario. El análisis cefalométrico aparece como una opción adicional a las herramientas clínicas, específicamente el análisis de Ricketts contiene mediciones verticales del tercio inferior, a través del ángulo Altura Facial Inferior, cuyo valor normal es de 47°, pero con una desviación estándar alta.ObjetivoDeterminar si el ángulo Altura Inferior de Ricketts es sensible a incrementos de Dimensión Vertical Oclusal (DVO).MétodoA nueve sujetos entre 20 y 30 años se les realizó un análisis cefalométrico con el fin de medir el ángulo Altura Inferior de Ricketts, en posición MIC, y luego con incrementos de la Dimensión Vertical de 1, 3 y 5mm.ResultadosLos resultados mostraron que el valor del ángulo Altura Inferior de Ricketts (AFI) aumentó con los incrementos de la Dimensión Vertical Oclusal de 1, 3 y 5mm en todos los sujetos. Al análisis estadístico no paramétrico de Friedman, estos resultados son significativos (p=0.000). A la prueba Post Hoc de Siegel y Castellon la variación del ángulo Altura Inferior de Ricketts con el incremento de 1mm de DVO no es significativa.ConclusionesSe puede sugerir que el análisis cefalométrico de Ricketts, a través de la medición del ángulo AFI, es capaz de detectar incrementos en la DVO, pero la variación que se produce con 1mm de incremento no es estadísticamente significativa.AbstractIntroductionOral rehabilitation of patients with severe wear, becomes complex when there is a need to increase Vertical Dimension. Evaluation methods of Vertical Dimension do not deliver accurate information to define as increase is necessary. The cephalometric analysis appears as an additional option to the clinical tools, specific Ricketts analysis containing vertical measurements of the lower third, through the Lower Facial Height angle, whose normal value is 47°, but with a high-standard deviation.ObjectiveTo determine whether the Lower Height Ricketts angle is sensitive to increases in Oclusal Vertical Dimension (OVD).MethodNine subjects aged 20 to 30 years-old underwent cephalometric analysis in order to measure the Lower Height Ricketts angle in centric occlusion position, then increasing OVD in 1, 3 and 5mm.ResultsLower Height Ricketts angle showed an increase as OVD of 1, 3 and 5mm augmented in all subjects. Nonparametric Friedman's statistical analysis was applied, being the results statistically significant (p=0.000). According to Post Hoc test of Siegel and Castellon, Lower Height Ricketts angle variation of 1mm is not statistically significant.ConclusionsIt may be suggested that the Ricketts cephalometric analysis by measuring the Lower Height angle is able to detect increases in the OVD, but the change that occurs within 1mm increase is not statistically significant
Festuca ovina L., s.l. en Festuca rubra L., s.l. in Nederland
No full textThe author gives a survey of the taxa belonging to Festuca ovina L., s.l. and F. rubra L., s.l. as they occur in the Netherlands. Four species are distinguished, viz. F. ovina L., F. trachyphylla (Hack.) Kraj., F. heterophylla Lamk., and F. rubra L. F. ovina L. is represented by 3 subspecies, subsp. tenuifolia (Sibth.) Čelak., subsp. ovina, and subsp. cinerea (Vill.) Duyfjes, nov. comb.; F. rubra L. can be subdivided into 2 subspecies, subsp. rubra and subsp. juncifolia (St. Am.) R. Lit.
Of these taxa F. heterophylla is most probably introduced with grass-seeds; the others are native
Mapping socio-economic scenarios of land cover change: A GIS method to enable ecosystem service modelling
No full textWe present a GIS method to interpret qualitatively expressed socio-economic scenarios in quantitative map-based terms. (i) We built scenarios using local stakeholders and experts to define how major land cover classes may change under different sets of drivers; (ii) we formalised these as spatially explicit rules, for example agriculture can only occur on certain soil types; (iii) we created a future land cover map which can then be used to model ecosystem services. We illustrate this for carbon storage in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania using two scenarios: the first based on sustainable development, the second based on ‘business as usual’ with continued forest–woodland degradation and poor protection of existing forest reserves. Between 2000 and 2025 4% of carbon stocks were lost under the first scenario compared to a loss of 41% of carbon stocks under the second scenario. Quantifying the impacts of differing future scenarios using the method we document here will be important if payments for ecosystem services are to be used to change policy in order to maintain critical ecosystem service
Life of Saint Gregory the Great Written in Four Books by John the Deacon: A Translation and Commentary of Book III
No full textThose interested in St. Gregory and his times find constant reference to the life of that pope written by John the Deacon. Because no translation of that work has hitherto appeared in English, a group of students, at the suggestion of Dr. L.V. Jacks, director of the classical department of The Creighton University, decided to undertake a translation and commentary on the Vita as their piece of research. |Since Books I and II of the Vita Sancti Gregorii Magni were already in process of translation when this work was begun, the original plan was to present a translation and commentary on Books III and IV. However, as the manuscript took shape, it ran into a forbidding length--some three hundred pages of translation alone; hence the first plan was abandoned and the scope of the work was limited to the third book alone. The text used was that of J.P. Migne, Volume LXXV of Patrologlae cursus completus Patrum Latinorum, which in the course of this study will be referred to as the Patrologia Latina. |Through the commentary the author has endeavored to supplement and clarify the text and to present various views on controversial questions. No textual, grammatical, or stylistic problems are handled, herein since these points have already been treated by competent scholars in this field. |This study has the secondary purpose of examining the historiography of John the Deacon in the Vita III. As background material a chapter containing the few known facts about this Roman deacon of the ninth century and his works has been included; also a chapter dealing with the early life and writings of St. Gregory because this material is not included in Book III.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
An Estimation of the Entomological Inoculation Rate for Ifakara: A Semi-Urban Area in a Region of Intense Malaria Transmission in Tanzania.
No full textAn entomological study on vectors of malaria and their relative contribution to Plasmodium falciparum transmission in the semi-urban area of Ifakara, south-eastern Tanzania, was conducted. A total of 32 houses were randomly sampled from the area and light trap catches (LTC) performed in one room in each house every 2 weeks for 1 year. A total of 147 448 mosquitoes were caught from 789 LTC; 26 134 Anopheles gambiae s.l., 615 A. funestus, 718 other anophelines and 119 981 culicines. More than 60% of the total A. gambiae s.l. were found in five (0.6%) LTCs, with a maximum of 5889 caught in a single trap. Of 505 A. gambiae s.l. speciated by polymerase chain reaction, 91.5% were found to be A. arabiensis. Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests were performed on 10 108 anopheles mosquitoes and 39 (0.38%) were positive. Entomological inoculation rate (EIR) estimates were generated using a standard method and an alternative method that allows the calculation of confidence intervals based on a negative binomial distribution of sporozoite positive mosquitoes. Overall EIR estimates were similar; 31 vs. 29 [95% confidence interval (CI): 19, 44] infectious bites per annum, respectively. The EIR ranged from 4 (95% CI: 1, 17) in the cool season to 108 (95% CI: 69, 170) in the wet season and from 54 (95% CI: 30, 97) in the east of the town to 15 (95% CI: 8, 30) in the town centre. These estimates show large variations over short distances in time and space. They are all markedly lower than those reported from nearby rural areas and for other parts of Tanzania

A significant increase in kdr in Anopheles gambiae is associated with an intensive vector control intervention in Burundi highlands.
No full textOBJECTIVES AND METHODS: In Burundi, the occurrence of the knock down resistance (kdr) mutation in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) was determined for six consecutive years within the framework of a vector control programme. Findings were also linked with the insecticide resistance status observed with bioassay in An. gambiae s.l. and An. funestus. RESULTS: The proportion of An. gambiae s.l. carrying the East Leu-Ser kdr mutation was 1% before the spraying intervention in 2002; by 2007 it was 86% in sprayed valleys and 67% in untreated valleys. Multivariate analysis showed that increased risk of carrying the kdr mutation is associated with spraying interventions, location and time. In bioassays conducted between 2005 and 2007 at five sites, An. funestus was susceptible to permethrin, deltamethrin and DDT. Anopheles gambiae s.l. remained susceptible or tolerant to deltamethrin and resistant to DDT and permethrin, but only when kdr allele carriers reached 90% of the population. CONCLUSIONS: The cross-resistance against DDT and permethrin in Karuzi suggests a possible kdr resistance mechanism. Nevertheless, the homozygous resistant genotype alone does not entirely explain the bioassay results, and other mechanisms conferring resistance cannot be ruled out. After exposure to all three insecticides, homozygote individuals for the kdr allele dominate among the surviving An. gambiae s.l. This confirms the potential selection pressure of pyrethroids on kdr mutation. However, the high occurrence of the kdr mutation, even at sites far from the sprayed areas, suggests a selection pressure other than that exerted by the vector control programme
