Research suggests that high-quality formative assessment has a strongly positive effect upon student learning. Unfortunately, does not appear to be frequently used in didactic dental curricula. Our hypothesis was providing students with practice online exam questions would enable those who voluntarily took the perform better on subsequent summative exams than did utilize this opportunity. A test bank of written for enrolled two different biomedical science courses. Half were arbitrarily...

In spite of efforts by many dental schools to provide information technology resources for students, only a handful studies have been conducted determine what students think about these initiatives. There are no reports in the literature describing students' perceptions mandatory laptop programs, which now being implemented at least 25 percent North American schools. that required either enroll with their own laptops meet specifications or purchase from school matriculation. some schools,...

This study was designed to compare various salivary parameters between smokers and non-smokers determine the influence of a nicotine-containing chewing gum (used aid in quit-smoking efforts) upon these same parameters. At baseline examination, subjects were assigned one three groups: who did not utilize any gum, provided placebo gum. Saliva collected from all analyzed for acidogenicity buffer pH as well levels thiocyanate, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, lactoferrin, secretory IgA. After 15 weeks...

Four studies were performed in rats and hamsters concerning the cariogenicity of cereals role sucrose that process. The findings indicate content per se does not necessarily reflect cariogenic potential. Presweetened more conducive to formation smooth surface caries hamster than non-presweetened while no major differences between observed occlusal rats.

A wideband monocone-bicone array is designed that has on average 5.5 dB higher gain than a single monocone antenna. The fed using novel feed technique enables performance similar to of an ideally array. computed bandwidth takes into account the radiation pattern stability over field view determined by ideal theory, specifically continuously scaled resonant thin monopole-dipole used as benchmark with respect which various arrays are and optimized. Two cost functions proposed optimal...

Many nanoparticle applications require molecular adlayers that impart desirable interfacial characteristics. Such characteristics are crucial in controlling the interaction of with environment or other nanoparticles; however, departures from bulk values expected for adlayer properties and situ methods to evaluate magnitude these departures, preferably on scale a single nanoparticle, needed. Here we investigate potential single-particle photothermal microscopy measuring thermal...

The report of the Meissner effect in annealed samples K3Tp (Tp = p-terphenyl) above 120 K has raised interest this deceptively simple material concerning superconductivity. We have investigated structural integrity Tp framework KxTp at increasing processing time and temperature T. Our experimental studies show that both K2Tp mixing stoichiometries identical Raman (solid state) UV–vis (1,2-dimethoxyethane solution) spectra, being consistent with molecular dianion by density functional theory...
