Nutrition and diet are significantly interrelated with oral health and disease.
The control of diet and nutrient intake and good oral hygiene are important elements
in the prevention and treatment of dental caries and periodontal disease.
Prevention of dental disease is the major focus of dentistry today, and dietary counseling...
¹¹¹In/Cd perturbed angular correlation (PAC) gamma spectroscopy was used to
study the point defect thermodynamics of tetragonal zirconia (t-zirconia).
PAC can be used to measure, among other things, oxygen vacancy defect
concentrations in t-zirconia. Higher than expected concentrations of oxygen vacancies in
undoped samples were found using PAC. It was...
Dietary guidelines recommend that Americans consume no
more than 30 percent of energy intake from fat. The most
recent national survey reported that U.S. women consume
about 36 percent of energy from fat. Very little is
presently known about the fat intake, or food sources of
fat in the diets...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether an increase in daily tooth brushing frequency in children was predicted by either a) having a strong intention to brush twice a day or b) their parents receiving information about their new caries experience.
BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN: Secondary data analyses were conducted on two waves of...
We document the age and extent of late Quaternary glaciofluvial processes in Garwood Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using mapping, stratigraphy, geochronology, and geochemical analysis of sedimentary and ice deposits. Geomorphic and stratigraphic evidence indicates damming of the valley at its Ross Sea outlet by the expanded Ross Sea ice...
Spatially isolated patches of soil located in Taylor Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, are sites of elevated salt content and soil moisture. During Antarctic spring, in the absence of snow melt, visibly wet (reduced albedo) patches of soil are present at the surface. The soil pore fluids are hypersaline and...

The Collection 6 (C6) MODIS (Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer) land and atmosphere data
sets are scheduled for release in 2014. C6 contains significant
revisions of the calibration approach to account for sensor
aging. This analysis documents the presence of systematic
temporal trends in the visible and near-infrared (500 m)
bands...
The sensitivity of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) to prolonged warm periods is largely unknown and geological records documenting such long-term changes are needed to place current observations in perspective. Here we use cosmogenic surface exposure and radiocarbon ages to determine the magnitude of NEGIS margin fluctuations over the...
In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) comprise one of two classes of small RNAs that function primarily as negative regulators at the posttranscriptional level. Several MIRNA genes in the plant kingdom are ancient, with conservation extending between angiosperms and the mosses, whereas many others are more recently evolved. Here, we use deep...
