Any dentist who places or restores implants ought to be aware of these risks and have the skills necessary to handle them. While some of the problems might be resolved without much help, others could necessitate consulting experts in different fields. The implant dentist has a responsibility to identify all of these circumstances and to be aware of the appropriate procedures to adhere to in order to optimize the patient's chances of success. Thousands of appreciative patients are served by teams of highly skilled and committed specialists on a daily basis despite these frightening facts. Dental implantology is a field that not only benefits patients but also the professionals who have the expertise, drive, and skills to treat patients with the utmost care. This textbook aims to furnish all those practitioners with an extensive reference material to consult in the event that a complication occurs.

Simulation is potential tools that may help nursing educators prepare future nurses to practice in a real environment. It is a teaching strategy that provides students with an artificial representation of a complex real-life situation, enabling them to learn in a safe environment. Based on its degree of realism, it ranges from low to high fidelity. Low-fidelity simulation refers to that used in teaching physical assessment and psychomotor skills, while medium-fidelity reflects more realism than low-fidelity.A clinical simulation in nursing education can be used for many purposes, for example, as a teaching strategy or for assessment and evaluation. However, one of the most important reasons that educators use simulations for assessment and evaluation of learning should be integrated into the large process of planning, implementation, assessing, and evaluating learning. Faculty should identify the purpose of the assessment or evaluation early in the process to ensure the evaluation is relevant and evaluates the learning outcomes for which it¿s intended.

Alveolar bone augmentation is done to increase the volume of the alveolar bone to be conducive for the placement of a prosthesis or to place a dental implant. It is often noticed that there is change in the dimensions of the alveolar bone due to the lack of the blood supply in the cortical bone at the crest of the alveolar socket. This is manifested as a thinning of the alveolar ridge or loss of the socket wall. Hence it is necessary to preserve the ridge from resorption or collapse following the tooth extraction. But if there is reduced volume and altered alveolar ridge dimension then ridge augmentation must be done depending on the need of placement of prosthesis or dental implants. The technique could be a horizontal ridge augmentation or vertical ridge augmentation using different techniques depending on the availability of the alveolar bone. In this review we have included 10 different techniques used for vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation prior to implant placement. Animal studies have also been included; studies that did not give any information on implant outcomes were not considered as they did not provide any reliable information on success rate of implants.

Materials science plays a very important role in the scientific research and technological development technological development that is driving the various industrial sectors. The development in computer simulations has encouraged interesting studies in the field of condensed matter. For example, it is now possible to explain and predict the properties of solids that were previously impossible to experiment with. Materials with a perovskite structure have attracted a great deal of interest for more than two decades because of their electrical properties. interest for over two decades because of their unique electrical and magnetic properties, as well as their their particular optical behaviour.Perovskite oxides with the structure ABO3 , where A is an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal and B is a transition metal, currently form a promising new class of materials. Several theoretical and experimental studies have been reported in the literature concerning the physical properties sought for targeted technological applications such as ferroelectricity, antiferromagnetism, semiconductivity and optical properties.

The main unifying theme is the idea of an intelligent agent. AI is the study of agents that receive percepts from the environment and perform actions. Each such agent implements a function that maps percept sequences to actions, and covers different ways to represent these functions, such as reactive agents, real-time planners, and decision-theoretic systems, and explains the role of learning as extending the reach of the designer into unknown environments and show how that role constrains agent design, favoring explicit knowledge representation and reasoning and treat robotics and vision not as independently defined problems, but as occurring in the service of achieving goals. The importance of the task environment is in determining the appropriate agent design. Our primary aim is to convey the ideas that have emerged over the past fifty years of AI research and the past two millennia of related work and tried to avoid excessive formality in the presentation of these ideas while retaining precision.

Conservative dentistry and Endodontics is an ever-fascinating and one of the most mercurial fields of dentistry. Knowledge and best practices in this field are ever-shifting.

This book primarily focuses on The nature of dentin, the Mechanism of bonding, and strategies to improve bonding along with its clinical implications. which is defined as The biomimetic approach, mediated by bioactive agents, to enhance and reinforce the dentin by locally altering the biochemistry and biomechanical properties. This book specifically addresses several problems that come up with bonding and techniques to overcome it. The motivation behind this book is to make people aware of newer agents related to Dentin Biomodification. We are still learners in this subject and solicit your constructive criticism for the improvement of this book.

¿How engaged¿ is epistemological stand-point of systemwide engagements of Indian-postgraduate-education stakeholders for exploring the research problem as central research question of this study. Postgraduate education of India is the space where higher education problems of India are centrally accommodated. Engagements of stakeholders in Indian higher education system are attributed on coordination. It is critically instrumentalized based on postulated themes of seminal works and rival explanations on higher education system governance. For keeping discontinuity regarding forms of coordination, the study is designed longitudinally on the timeframes spanning from 1896 to 1906, 1966 to 1976, 2009-2020 for analyses. Based on streamlined data for high-quality analysis of postgraduate education across timeframes of Indian higher education system, it is found that the diversity of structures and accommodation of conflicting values are evidently related. Ranking of institutions based on indices of quality do not confirm the competence of the Indian postgraduate education knowledge in the higher education systems.

As a result of the world facing an information technology and communication revolution, more technologies evolved and a massive increase in the number of devices and sensors connected to the Internet occurred. This caused the need for a freer spectrum, reliable wired or wireless connections as well as secure and reliable channels of communication.CR is an intelligent wireless communication technique, which realizes its surroundings in all cases. It was first proposed by Joseph Mitola which suggested using CR to make the best use of the available spectrum and to increase productivity.In this book, we will be evaluating the efficacy of narrow band spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radio by surveying and comparing some methods proposed before we propose our work in chapter three. Also, this book deals with two important problems that encounter the spectrum sensing and offers solutions to these problems.

The fresh water contains 3% in the worldwide. Human and industrial activities produce and discharge wastes containing Sulphur and fluoride metals into the water resources making them polluted and threatening human health and ecosystem. Conventional methods for the removal of Sulphur and fluoride metal ions such as chemical precipitation and membrane filtration are more expensive when treating large amounts of water, inefficient at low concentrations of metal and generate large quantities of sludge and other toxic products that require careful disposal. Bio-sorption is eco-friendly and alternative methods for treatment of waste water. These methods have advantages over conventional methods because it has a lower cost, easily available and reused. The present work studies the feasibility use of neem leaf, custard apple leaf, mango tree leaf,orange peel and banana peel as a bio-sorbent in removal of Sulphur and fluoride from contaminated water. The removal efficiency is 100%obtained from this work. The effects of different parameters like contact time, agitation speed,adsorbent dosage, pH and temperature are also studied.

Concrete is the most widely used material in the construction industry. The cement required in the concrete leaves enormous carbon which shows an alarming impact on the global environmental conditions. Hence, there is a requirement of some material which can be effective in supporting cement when added along with it shows similar characteristics. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) is found to be one such material which has similar characteristics when mixed with cement. GGBS is a by-product of steel manufacturing industry which is disposed. Quarry dust is a waste from the stone crushing unit. This quarry dust can be used as partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete.The principle objective is to study the strength properties. Concrete cubes,cylinders and beams for M40 grade are prepared initially by replacing the sand with quarry dust by increasing proportions as 10%, 20%, 30% and so on until an optimum is obtained. After with the optimum percentage of fine aggregate, the cement is replaced with GGBS by 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%.

Periodontitis is defined as ¿an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms, resulting in progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone with pocket formation, recession, or both." Chronic periodontitis is often painless and hence patients do not seek early treatment. It is often neglected and hence eventually results in tooth loss since the patients seek treatment when prognosis is hopeless. Proper and prompt diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment. Treatment plan should be based on sound diagnosis. Appropriate therapy for patients with periodontitis varies considerably with the extent and pattern of attachment loss, local anatomical variations, type of periodontal disease and therapeutic objectives. The role of the patient is as important as the role of the dentist in the management of chronic periodontitis. Patients should be encouraged and motivated to maintain adequate oral hygiene. Also patients should be encouraged to quit any deleterious habits if present which have an adverse effect on the periodontium such as smoking.

Water quality can vary significantly from place to place due to a range of natural and human factors. This paper provides an overview of the factors that can influence water quality and the ways in which water quality can vary across different geographic locations. The paper examines the natural factors that can impact water quality, including geology, climate, and natural ecological processes. It also discusses the human factors that can contribute to changes in water quality, such as land use practices, industrial and agricultural activities, and waste disposal practices. Furthermore, the paper explores the different parameters used to measure water quality, such as pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrient levels, and contaminants. It highlights how these parameters can vary from place to place, depending on local conditions and sources of pollution. The paper also discusses the potential impacts of poor water quality on human health and the environment, including the spread of waterborne diseases, damage to aquatic ecosystems, and harm to wildlife. Contamination of surface water and groundwater is a serious environmental issue that can have significant impacts on human health.

The aim of this project is found out effect of non-biodegradable organic solids (NBOS) in mixing water on cement mortar. Various codes (IS: 456, BS: 3148, ASTM C94, EN1008) have given standards for mixing water for concrete. Indian standard code IS: 456-2000 has given a permissible limit of organic solids i.e., 200mg/L, but organic matter has biodegradable and non-biodegradable organic solids. IS: 456 has not mentioned the permissible limit of non- biodegradable organic solids in mixing water on cement or concrete. Hence, the experimental study was carried out on the effect of non-biodegradable organic solids in mixing water on cement mortar. Compressive strength and setting times were performed in the laboratory. Results reveal that the compressive strength at 500 mg/L concentration is 55.65 MPa and 0.46% strength greater compared to reference cubes cast with Rainwater. The Initial and final setting times at concentration 500 mg/L are 150 minutes and 330 minutes respectively. The initial and final setting times at these concentrations got 43 minutes and 28 minutes greater than the reference cement.

Millions of work-related accidents occur each year around the world, leading to a large number of deaths, injuries, and a huge economic cost. Previous studies on risk assessment have revealed that it is important to calculate the probabilities of factors that can contribute to the occurrence of accidents. Several methods have been proposed to evaluate potential risk factors and to improve system safety. However, these methods have some limitations, such as their low generalizability, treating accident causation and human factor as two separate research topics, requiring intensive data, or relying solely on expert judgement. This book proposed some new ideas to address these limitations.

This study explores performers¿ self-awareness in dance, focusing on my own experience as a dancer, as well as on participants¿ responses collected from workshops and interviews. Working between these experiences and reports, and from a phenomenological lens, I question how dancers¿ self-awareness might change throughout the transition between rehearsal and performance contexts. The dissertation has a narrative-like quality where I use various episodes reported by dancers or from my own experience. One of this study¿s main findings suggests that dancers¿ self-awareness in performance is affected by the type of rehearsal that precedes the performance. Furthermore, this research delves into dancers¿ video usage and its influence on their capacity of bridging how they feel with how they see on video. Also, the thesis considers dancers¿ ¿inner conversations¿ while dancing and what that process is and means. The study not only aims to understand the shifts that occur in dancers¿ self-awareness in function of their surroundings, but it also considers ways in which dancers may heighten their self-awareness.

The use of HSC has steadily increased over the past years, which leads to the design of smaller sections. This in turn reduces the dead weight, allowing longer spans and more usable area of buildings. Reduction in mass is also important for economical design of earthquake resistant structures HSC is a brittle material. The increase in concrete strength reduces its ductility, and this is a serious drawback for the use of HSC. A compromise between these two characteristics of concrete (strength and ductility) can be obtained by adding steel fibers. In addition to this , due to the high population and scarcity of land to disposal of industrial wastages (i.e. Fly ash, Silica fume, Quarry Dust, GGBS etc).The best solutions for that engineering problems is optimal usage of industrial waste by replacement of construction materials. It is observed that 50 aspect ratio fibers the maximum compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength increased by 2.72%, 52.20% and 38.15% at 0.75% of fibers to the total weight of cement. For 25 aspect ratio fibers the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength increased.

The industrial manufacturing of today uses equipment that rotates at high speed and bears heavy rotor loads. Fluid film journal bearings are used in such an application. The bearing of a fluid film journal is a mechanical feature designed to withstand a high load while allowing relative motion between the surface of the journal and the bearing. The fluid film bearing is often referred to as the bearing in hydrodynamic papers. The journal and bearing wall are split between clearance spaces by fluid film which is added.Three dimensional models were simulated using the ANSYS Fluent software package to reliably predict the journal bearing analysis efficiency of the three turbulent models. Design parameters such as static strain, wall shear stress and carrying potential of dimensionless load were considered and research was conducted for the analysis of various L/D ratios of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. And 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 are the eccentricity ratios taken into account.In Ansys, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid structure interplay (FSI) are achieved.

This book examines the political playwriting of Henry Fielding, who began his writing career by writing plays for stage, yet today generally known as a novelist. Fielding¿s political career the years between 1707-1754 under the light of political and social events casting their shadow on theatres with the imposition of the Licensing Act of 1737 is discussed in this work. Fielding¿s three important political plays Rape Upon Rape, The Modern Husband, and The Tragedy of Tragedies: or, the Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great are analyzed from the political and social perspective. This book reveals the moral, social, and political collapse in this environment based on the corruption of the Royal family in that period by examining political, satirical plays having important messages. Though Fielding is accepted as a novelist, in his political plays, Fielding¿s political playwriting rather than his identity as a novelist is taken into consideration because he, in his political plays, handled electoral abusiveness, the unethical behaviours of state officers who mock with the society¿s values and do not believe in the existence of political honesty, and the corrupted sides of authorities.

The fog-assisted Internet-of-Things (IoT) is gaining interest due to its potential to cause duplicate data transmission. This paper proposes task distribution and secure deduplication over Cluster-based IoT using four layers: IoT Devices Layer, Fog Layer, Cloud Layer, and Service Layer. The IoT devices layer deploys devices to sense air pollutants, authenticates them to the cloud server, and uses Adaptive Rewards Optimized Deep Reinforcement Learning (ARO-DRL) for cluster-head selection. The fog layer uses SHA-3 for duplicate verification and the Emperor Penguin Optimization Algorithm for fog node selection. The Hybrid cloud environment protects organizations' data by combining private and public clouds. Experiments were conducted using NS3 with Java programming, and simulation results showed improvements in average latency, user satisfaction, network lifetime, energy consumption, and security strength.

Gynecological examination is a crucial part of gynecological control. It is a stressful procedure, and the woman may respond negatively as a consequence of her lack of orientation before the examination. Previous negative experiences of gynecological examination, inattention to privacy, religious beliefs, fear of pain, fear of pathological diagnosis, fear about personal hygiene, negative first pelvic examination experience, and socio-cultural value.Women may experience strong discomfort during pelvic examinations but find it necessary to reassert their health. Therefore, gynecological examination applications can cause some traumatizing impacts that result in reactions such as avoidance of being examined, light anxiety, and a feeling of shame.Nurses play an important role in counseling, motivating, and assisting patients in making health behavior changes through assisting in improving behaviors, providing self-management tools, and supporting patient self-management. Counseling is a dynamic and purposeful relationship between two people who approach a mutually defined problem with mutual consideration for each other.

With the attainment of independence, Ghana had as main goals, Freedom, Unity and Prosperity. Unfortunately, the first 30years of the country¿s political life as an independent state with her lofty dreams turned largely nightmarish characterized by economic hardship and military coups. The ¿Black Star¿ of Africa became an example of a failing African State engulfed with corrupt, incompetent, and repressive governments presiding over and promoting political instability, stagnant economy, broken down infrastructure and decaying society. However, with the reemergence of the democratic wind of change in the 1990s, Ghana has been gaining remarkable positions in the democratic index. This book sets to investigate the main trajectories characterizing the peaceful political Transition and by extension charts the path for democratic consolidation in Ghana's Fourth Republic. It employs an experimental research design involving the collection, presentation, and analysis of data through relevant documents, texts, observations, and interview proofs.

In this book, you will become acquainted with a scientific study that unveils the secrets of deep human connections and the powerful impact of the gaslighting style of parental bonding on the intricate fabric of childhood, leaving an indelible mark on the psyche of young individuals in the form of developmental trauma. This book is not just a study; it is a beacon of awareness, calling on society to recognize and resist the subtle yet profound influence of the dynamics of parental relationships on the journey from childhood to adulthood. Shedding light on the all-encompassing nature of gaslighting parental styles, I hope that fellow psychologists, empathetic parents, and institutions responsible for the upbringing and education of the younger generation will also find this work valuable.
