Introduction: Development of teeth is a useful measure of maturity, as it represents a series of recognizable events that occur in the same sequence from an initial event to constant endpoint. Age estimation from teeth is generally considered reliable, as they are naturally preserved long even after disintegration of bones and tissues. Aims and objectives: The aim of present study was to determine dental age from panoramic radiographs using Demirijian’s method and Moore’s method in kadapa population. It was also to compare two methods for calculation of dental age and evaluate which technique is better. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology at Govt dental college and hospital, kadapa. Total of 75 subjects of age group from 7 years to 14 years were included. For every individual included in the study, a panoramic radiograph was taken with standard parameters and adequate protective measures and was analysed for developmental stages of teeth accordingly to the criteria given by Demirijian and Moore’s method. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in all age groups except 12, 14 years in Demirijian’s method and except 10, 12 years in Moore’s method. Demirijian’s method over estimated the age with a mean difference of -2.10 and Moore’s method underestimated the age with a mean difference of 0.92. Pearson’s correlation revealed more positive correlation between chronological and dental age using Demirijian’s method which was 0.644 compared to Moore’s method which was 0.593 showing greater accuracy of Demirijian’s method compared to Moore’s method. Conclusion: Age estimation can be done by Demirijian and Moore’s method with the former showing greater accuracy than the latter. The Demirijian’s method tends to overestimate the age and Moore’s method under estimated the age. However further research should be aimed at with a larger sample for better accuracy of both the methods.

Odontogenic anomalies may sometimes be encountered in our routine dental practice. These anomalies may pose a challenge to the dentist, considering the magnitude of condition. Hyperdontia in the mandibular premolar region is a rare occurrence. We describe a case report of a 35-year-old male patient, presenting with concurrent occurrence of chronic periodontitis and supernumerary premolar, and a possible correlation between the two entities

Anatoxin–a(S) "Salivary"[a] is a naturally occurring cyanotoxin commonly isolated from cyanobacteria (specifically of the genus Anabaena) and causes excess salivation in mammals via inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Anatoxin–a(S) is structurally a cyclic N–hydroxyguanine organophosphate with a phosphate ester moiety. Parameters such as FT–IR and Raman vibrational wavelengths and intensities for single crystal Anatoxin–a and Anatoxin–a(s) are calculated using density functional theory and were compared with empirical results. The investigation about vibrational spectrum of cycle dimers in crystal with carboxyl groups from each molecule of acid was shown that it leads to create Hydrogen bounds for adjacent molecules. The current study aimed to investigate the possibility of simulating the empirical values. Analysis of vibrational spectrum of Anatoxin–a and Anatoxin–a(s) is performed based on theoretical simulation and FT– IR empirical spectrum and Raman empirical spectrum using density functional theory in levels of F/6–31G*, HF/6– 31++G**, MP2/6–31G, MP2/6–31++G**, BLYP/6–31G, BLYP/6–31++G**, B3LYP/6–31G and B3LYP6–31–HEG**. Vibration modes of methylene, carboxyl acid and phenyl cycle are separately investigated. The obtained values confirm high accuracy and validity of results obtained from calculations.

Disposable hypodermic needles are essential tools in endodontic therapy. Their basic function is injection of irrigating solutions into the root canal for the purpose of removing debris and microorganisms from the root canal during chemomechanical preparation. The objective of this study was to determine the similarities, in gauge/size number, length and color-coding system, between disposable hypodermic needles and endodontic files/reamers. Search engines such as google.com and google scholar were used to collect data on disposable hypodermic needles and files/reamers based on diameter, gauge/size number, length and color-coding system. The obtained data were compared between the two groups of instruments with a view to finding similarities in their sizes, color-coding systems and lengths. The two groups of instruments exhibited variations in lengths, numbering and color-coding systems. However, there were striking similarities between the outer diameters of disposable needles (gauge 28-17) and the diameters of the tips of reamers/files (size 35-40) respectively. It was concluded that disposable hypodermic needles with gauge number 28-17 and files/reamers with number 35-140 are similar in their outer diameters. The understanding of the similarities between these two groups of instruments, within the specified gauge/number ranges, will assist in appropriate selection of needles for root canal irrigation as well as in the technical design of disposable hypodermic needles for carrying plastic materials in orthograde apical third root filling technique.

This study sought to establish the influence of principal‟s leadership styles on teachers‟ professional commitment in Kericho Sub-county, Kenya. Specifically the study endeavored to establish the influence of Principals‟ Democratic Leadership style on Teachers‟ Professional Commitment in public secondary schools in Kericho Sub-county. This research was informed by the situational leadership theory and descriptive research design was adopted to guide the study. The sub-county has 31 public secondary schools. In the 31 schools there are a total of 31 principals, 155 Heads of Departments and 400 Teachers. All the 31 principals were selected to participate in the study because the sub county has recorded a decline in KCSE performance in the last two years. Five (5) HODS‟ in charge of academics from each school were purposively selected because of their special complementary roles in the leadership and management of schools. Simple random sampling was used to select five subject teachers in each school, one from each academic department to participate in the study; also 3 sub county quality assurance and standards officers‟ were selected. Therefore a total of 344 respondents comprising of 31 principals, 155 HOD‟s, 155 subject teachers and 3 SCQASOs constituted the total sample size. Data was collected using questionnaires which were administered to principals, HODs and subject teachers while interview schedules were used to guide discussions with the SCQASOs. Validity of the instrument was determined by the supervisors, lecturers in the department of Education Kisii University. For reliability, a test re-test of the findings was calculated and a Pearson‟s correlation coefficient of 0.856 was obtained. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics with aid of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer program while the results from interviews were analyzed qualitatively and thematically. Results revealed that democratic leadership style was the dominant style employed by principals in Kericho Sub-County together with the democratic practices employed point to a leadership that recognizes ideals of democracy in management. Other practices, principals delegate tasks and assignments to staff members (M=1.94, SD = 0.923); Principals ensure that members of staff feel involved and relevant in decision making process (M = 2.10, SD = 1.075); The study recommended that there is need to consider blending the leadership styles since each has some contribution to make indirectly to learner performance. The researcher paid keen attention to research ethical issues and got the informed consent of the respondents and guarded against plagiarism and ensured confidentiality.

Access to education has been a global phenomenon since education has been viewed as a vehicle for economic and social development in society. In Kenya, access to education has been a challenge at all levels in our educational institutions ranging from primary to tertiary level. There is low access rate in boarding Secondary Schools in Nyamira North Sub County despite the fact that there is funding of education by the government through subsidy program. The study was guided by this objective: To evaluate the extent to which subsidized secondary education program had enhanced access to education in boarding secondary schools in Nyamira North sub-county. The area of study was Nyamira North Sub County that has a population of 43 Secondary Schools with 43 principals, 43 Deputy Principals, 43 Bursars, 646 class teachers, one sub-county Quality Assurance and Standards officer and one sub-county Education Officer. The study was done using descriptive research design and the following research instruments were used: Administering questionnaire, interviewing and use of content analysis. The study used purposive sampling for all the small samples except class teachers of 646 that was sampled at 30%. Additionally, simple random sampling method was used in collecting data. Validity of the research instruments was done by subjecting the instruments to the experts for verification and adjustment. The research instruments were also subjected to test and retest method for reliability purpose at significance level of 0.83.The instruments were piloted in three schools before they were finally rolled to all the schools and they were found to be valid and reliable. Data was collected after seeking a research permit from the ministry of education after the University gave clearance for data collection. Data analysis was done using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The main findings of the study was that 76.8% had disagreed that government subsidy had improved access to education in boarding secondary schools in Nyamira North Sub-county. The recommendation was to improve funding of subsidized secondary education program by having a special levy to finance secondary education programs in boarding schools fully. The researcher paid keen attention to research ethical issues and got the informed consent of the respondents and guarded against plagiarism and ensured confidentiality.

This study aims to find out the acceptance of early adult women post-divorce. To see the stages of self-acceptance in respondents of this study using the theory of Kubler Roos (1969). The results of the study show that both respondents have the characteristics of individuals who have self-acceptance of having a positive picture of themselves, can manage and tolerate with frustration and anger, can interact with others without hostile criticism, and can regulate emotional state. At the level of acceptance, there is a similarity in the respondent's acceptance process. Although the first respondent was easier and fast-paced in the self-acceptance process compared to the second respondent. This difference is because the first respondent gets good social support from the family, especially from the first respondent, the first respondent's mother always motivated and embraced the first respondents to get out of the problem of first responders divorce, in contrast to the second most dominant respondent receiving social support of the second respondent's friends because the second respondent's family did not give much support to the second respondent to be able to rise from her divorce. This study also relates to the theory of resilience where resiliency is defined as a dynamic process involving positive adaptation to difficult circumstances (Luthar et al, in Naufaliasari 2013).

Natural convection in water inside an enclosure between two concentric cylinders has been investigated experimentally during heating and cooling process. This is made by the flowing of water as heat transfer fluid through the inner tube of the test section. The temperature distribution of water filled in the enclosure is established during heating and cooling process. As the natural convection phenomenon majorly depends on the heat source and orientation of the test section, the effect of mass flow rate and inlet temperature of heat transfer fluid on temperature distribution and heat transfer rate is investigated, first. Afterward, the effect of inclination of the test section on the temperature distribution is also established. The test section is inclined at 45o, 75o and 90o with the horizontal. The results obtained with different angle oriented test section are compared with the horizontal test section. It is found, convection heat transfer is dominant in heating process while in cooling process conduction mode of heat transfer dominated over convection. It is also observed that during the heating process, heat transfer rate is higher for vertical test section as compared with the other inclinations.
