Several denture based materials have been used with a wide range of applications. Several techniques have been used in recent time to improve its properties for better durability, strength and working. To compare Impact Strength, Compressive Strength, Tensile Strength, Hardness and Dimensional accuracy of autopolymerized, postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized and heat-cured denture base resins. Specimens were prepared by different modes of polymerization using autopolymerization technique, microwave post-polymerization treatment of autopolymerized acrylic resin and conventional water bath technique. The specimens were then subjected to various tests to evaluate strength (Impact, compressive, Tensile) and Hardness. There is statistically significant difference was found between mean impact strength and compressive strength of autopolymerized, postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized and heat-cured denture base resin. There is no statistically significant difference between mean tensile strength of autopolymerized acrylic resin and postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized acrylic resin (p=1.000) but a statistically significant difference was found between mean tensile strength of autopolymerized acrylic resin and heat-cured denture base resins (p=0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between mean Rockwell Hardness Number of autopolymerized acrylic resin and postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized acrylic resin (p=0.005). A statistically significant difference was also found between mean Rockwell Hardness Number of postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized acrylic resin and heat-cured denture base resins (p=0.001). Similarly, there was statistically significant difference was found between mean Rockwell Hardness Number of autopolymerized acrylic resin and heat-cured denture base resins (p=0.03). Comparison of mean linear dimensional change between autopolymerized and postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized denture base resins showed no statistically significant difference in the mean dimensional change between the autopolymerized and postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized denture base resins (p=0.051). Heat-cured acrylic resin exhibited the maximum values for Impact strength, Compressive Strength, Tensile Strength, Hardness and Dimensional Accuracy and Impact Strength of autopolymerized acylic resin improved after microwave postpolymerization treatment. Whereas, Hardness is decreased and Dimensional accuracy remained unaffected after the microwave postpolymerization treatment of autopolymerized acrylic resin.

Increased demand has driven the property business to grow and expand more rapidly. This has a positive impact on the national economy because it can increase the rate of economic growth through the level of investment. Behind its rapid development, the property business is extremely vulnerable to economic shock.. With Vector Error Corection Model (VECM) method, this study aims to see what macroeconomic variables influence the Residential property prices index as well as the magnitude of their contribution and how residential property price index respond to macroeconomic shocks. Macroeconomic variables used in this study such as economic growth, inflation, interest rates, money supply, and exchange rates. The results of this study show interest rates and economic growth does not significantly affect residential property price index on Jabodebek-Banten. The responses generated from the Impulse Response Function is different in each category. Meanwhile from the Forecast Error Variance Decomposition shows that the Money Supply, Exchange Rate, and Inflation has a big contribution on the shocks that occur in residential property price index in Jabodebek-Banten in various categories.

Eyes are generally the first features of the face to be noticed, playing a significant role in our daily lives. The most grievous yet, unfortunately, the most commonly occurring loss out of all the sensory organs is that of an eye. Such an adversity may have a prodigious emotional and psychological impact on the patient with loss of function. Artificial replacement of the lost eye is done with an ocular prosthesis. The prosthesis will improve patient’s esthetics, restore and maintain health of these structures, and thereby provide physical and mental wellbeing. Accurate impression to duplicate the contours of the defect site is required for the fabrication of the custom made prosthesis. In the following case report, a custom made scleral shell prosthesis was fabricated for the patient.

‘Poison’– The term first appeared in English Literature around the year 1230. It refers to a substance with an inherent property of being harmful to life or health. The earliest used poison, used in wars and official executions, included plant extracts, animal venoms and minerals. The aforementioned poisons are still used in the present day though they are not amongst the more prevalent ones, the trends having changed over the last millennium. Aluminium Phosphide poisoning occurs most commonly through ingestion and is seen more frequently in young males in their third decade. Fresh AlP is associated with higher and quicker fatality with respect to stored poison, less survival, more mortality.

In this study EPANET, a widely used water distribution package was linked to OptiGa, a Visual Basic ActiveX control for implementation of genetic algorithm, through Visual Basic programming technique, to modify the computer software called OptiNetwork. OptiNetwork was applied to Badarawa / Malali distributionnetwork consisting of 96 pipes of different materials, 75junctions, two tanks, and a source reservoir (i.e treatment plant) from which water is pumped through a pumping main to the overhead reservoir and later distributed to the network by gravity. After several runs the cost obtained from this network using OptiNetwork software under the application of genetics algorithm is $433,520.00which is lower than $435,118.00 obtained from OptiDesigner software. This difference is approximately 3% lower than the result obtained from OptiDesigner (a commercial software) with minimum pressure head of 3m and maximum of 100, Pressure penalty of 200,000 and probability of mutation equal to 0.03, also the commercial diameters of 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”, 16” 18” 20’’, 22’’and 24’’ dmin =4”, dmax = 24” were used for the distribution network during the optimization process. The results obtained shows that the introduction of the modified software (OptiNetwork) is justified. This is because it has been able to improve the search method in terms of achieving the “least-cost” designed water distribution system that will supply sufficient water quantities at adequate pressure to the consumers.

The Labour Act 2003, Act 651 serves as guide to help foster a harmonious relationship between management and employees. It is paramount to acknowledge the significant role that Union activities have played. Amongst them are; bargaining on behalf of employees, bringing industrial harmony among employees and employers, serving as a guide and direction for employees to direct their grievances and many more. The study was to find out the impact of union activities on the performance of employees. The specific objectives of the study were: To identify the main strategies used by trade unions to protect the interest of members, to find out the benefits associated with joining trade unions and, to find out the effects of trade unions on workers performance. The significance of the study was to find out the socioeconomic good of workers at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital and help unveil the problems associated with trade unions and its impact on their performance. The researchers through questionnaires used 70 respondents from the Bawku Presbyterian hospital who are members of Health Service Workers Union. Out of the findings 64% of the health workers said trade unions help workers to get their demands. The methodology used for the study was descriptive in nature. The findings of this study corroborate that of other researches that union activities have effect on workers performance at the workplace. Union activities have impact on the performance on work. This implies that it sounds appropriate for employers to put in place enough structure. Through that, industrial action will be reduced. Base on concrete satisfactory measures, it will be very difficult for workers to embark on strike action.

Odontomas are mixed benign hamartomaous malformation of odontogenic origin. Mainly two type complex and compound Odontomas, complex type more often seen in premolar and molar region of mandible, compound type more often seen in anterior maxilla. They commonly occur in permanent teeth. They are generally assymptamatic, detected on routine radiographic examinations or radiographs are taken to determine the reason for failure of a tooth to erupt. Odontogenic tumor treated by surgical enuclieation of lesion. Here we report a case of complex Odentomas in an 11 year old girl that cause distal displacement of maxillary lateral incisors, which is rare occurrence.

This work sets the objective of analyzing the impact that taxation can have on economic growth and poverty in Morocco. This analysis is conducted through a computable general equilibrium model where the macro-micro link is established. The splitting of the household agent into a quintile makes the model a powerful instrument for analyzing the effects of these policies on the behavior of the different classes of households.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a valuable adjuvant to preoperative assessment in patients with salivary tumors. The study aimed at studying the cytological features of benign and malignant salivary gland tumors, improving the diagnostic accuracy by using immunocytochemistry and correlating it with histopathology. A total of 46 salivary gland tumors including twenty three cases each of benign and malignant tumors with available histology were included in the study. We studied 23 benign tumors, Pleomorphic Adenoma comprised 86.7% of all benign tumors and rest three cases were diagnosed as Warthin’s tumors. Positive correlation with histology was obtained in 95% in Pleomorphic adenoma and 100% in Warthin’s tumors. Twenty three malignant salivary gland tumors comprised 11 Mucoepidermoid carcinoma,10 Adenoid cystic and 2 Acinic Cell Carcinoma. Positive cytohistological correlation was established in eight out of eleven Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (Diagnostic Accuracy=72.7%) and all cases of Adenoid cystic and Acinic cell carcinoma. Diagnostic accuracy of FNAC for malignant tumors was 95.65%. Our study shows that FNAC is a highly sensitive and specific technique for diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. Immunocytochemistry can act as adjuvant in diagnosing salivary gland tumors, however it did not help in improving the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in our study .Kappa value of 0.88 in our study indicated an excellent agreement between typing of salivary gland tumors on FNAC and histopathology
