Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an oral health self-care e-learning intervention for overseas workers as well as the research procedures for a future controlled trial.Methods We randomly allocated participants to either the intervention (n = 48) or control (n = 51) group.The intervention group rec
In this study, using a sensing membrane composed of p-type reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-decorated hydrothermally synthesized n-type gallium oxide (Ga2O3) nanorods, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas Beach Ball sensors were successfully fabricated.The characteristics of the rGO-decorated Ga2O3 nanorods were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
In this work, a new constrained numerical optimization approach is proposed for solving offline the Inverse Kinematics Problem (IKP) of articulated robots, which consists on optimizing the joint displacement while the end effector is positioned and oriented in a desired pose.The novelty of this approach is in the formulation of the optimization pro
In the present era, theorists try to explain the phenomenon of peace in the world through political theories, one of which is pacifism.Anti-war pacifism is considered the most common type of pacifism, because war is one of the main issues in international diplomacy.In this study, the initial aim is to provide a general overview of pacifism and its
Plasticity of conchological characters had led to erroneous descriptions and the accumulation of synonyms making difficult the discrimination among species.The land snail genus Megalobulimus is an example of this problem.Megalobulimus leucostoma (Sowerby, 1835) has three subspecies which are difficult to differentiate by using the original Bike Par
