Fractals are geometric shapes and patterns that may repeat their geometry at smaller or larger scales.It is well established that fractals can describe shapes and Wovens surfaces that cannot be represented by the classical Euclidean geometry.An eclectic survey of fractals is presented in two parts encompassing applications of fractals in a variety
Background/purpose: The strength of aligners themselves has a high decay rate and is susceptible Wovens to accelerated degradation in the environment.The purpose of this study was to compare three types of invisible aligner films after being immersed in coffee, tea, cola, and red wine for seven days and to evaluate the changes in their strengths.Ma
Abstract Background IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a progressive and sometimes fatal disease that rarely affects pediatric age group.It may affect the orbits, lacrimal Suction Tool and salivary glands, pancreas, kidneys, peritoneum and other organs.Lung and pleura are not commonly reported in IgG4-RD.We here present a rare case of pediatric IgG4
Background.Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are innovative drugs that effectively reduce glycemic levels and overweight in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).However, the criteria for predicting the hypoglycemic effect of this group of drugs have not been practically defined.Aim.To assess the factors contributing to t
Anthropogenic impacts on North American grasslands, a highly endangered ecosystem, have led to declines of prairie dogs, a keystone species, over 98% of their historical range.While impacts of this loss on maintenance of grassland biodiversity have been widely documented, much less is known about the consequences on the supply of ecosystem services
