Abstract:

<p>The Application of Magnetic Resonance (MRI) and Computed Tomography Imaging (CT) in the Diagnosis and Management of Maxillofacial Tumours. For decades maxillofacial surgeons over the world have been frustrated by the high and often fatal recurrence of certain advanced jaw tumours. This study conclusively proves that Computed Tomography and especially Magnetic Resonance Imaging significantly decreases recurrence of Odontogenic Keratocyst and Ameloblastoma and allows surgical planning to avoid these recurrences.</p>

AbstractObjective: The purpose of the study is to investigate how fluoride content in saliva depends on different fluoride mouth rinses: 1450 ppm, 910 ppm, 225 ppm and to compare a new 1450 ppm fluoride mouth rinse with the other concentrations. Material and method: The study included 17 subjects which rinsed with three different mouth rinses, A (225 ppm), B (1450 ppm) and C (910 ppm) at three different times. They rinsed for 1 minute and then spat out all content in a container. After different intervals they passively transferred their saliva into a given container for 1 minute. The samples

Abstract:

Infection of animal cells with picornaviruses results in the accumulation of replication associated membrane bound vesicles and a cessation in the trafficking of integral membrane and secreted proteins. At present little is known about the role of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) non-structural proteins in infection, or on trafficking events in cells. In this study we utilise state-of-the-art bioimaging technology and fluorescent protein chimeras to ascertain the effects of expressing FMDV non-structural proteins 2B, 2C, 2BC, 3A and 3AB on cellular organelles, and on the trafficking of vesi

Abstract:

Electronic commerce is the selected field to investigate for this thesis, particularly pure player apparel brands. This has been of interest as consumers struggle when shopping online for apparel since they cannot test the product before purchasing with pure players, therefore, there is information asymmetry. Moreover, when consumers lack trust, they may be more hesitant to purchase online due to the perceived risk, therefore, companies should attempt to relieve their doubts. It has been recognized in previous research that electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) could provide guidance and develop co

Abstract:

The Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) affects cloven-hoofed animals and is endemic in most parts of Africa, South America and southern Asia. South Africa is considered a FMDV-free zone but the virus is maintained within the wildlife in the Kruger National Park (KNP), making mitigation of outbreaks a high priority. Diagnostic methods are usually costly due to the high production cost of the reagents used, meaning that regular monitoring and diagnosis of animals around the KNP for FMDV is expensive due to the large amounts of serum continuously being tested.

In the urban environment, the soldier is subject to threatening attacks not only from the organized army but also from civilians who harbor hostility. U.S. enemies use the civilian crowd as an unconventional tactic to blend in and look like civilians, and in response to this growing trend, soldiers must detect and identify civilians as a threat or non-threat.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Neither the oral mucosal perforators of the facial artery, nor their mucosal perforasomes they perfused, have been described. Septal perforation is a frequent complication of snorting cocaine. Its reconstruction usually requires complex procedures based on oral mucosa o distant flaps. METHODS: We studied 30 facial arteries. First ten were injected with latex, diameter and length were measured. All perforators extending from the facial artery and heading directly to the oral mucosa were selected. The remaining twenty arteries were dissected. Perforators larger than 0.5 mm were s

Abstract:

To paraphrase an old bromide, "you are what you consume." Consumers derive their sense of self through products, brands, performances and a host of other meaning-laden materials that they consume. The marketing literature has long recognized possessions as an extension of the self-concept. Although hundreds of studies have examined the linkage between consumption and the self, surprisingly few have examined a related phenomenon - the relationship between the self-concept and word of mouth (WOM). A handful of studies have demonstrated the use of WOM to enhance the consumer's self-image, but

Abstract:

The interest of researchers and practitioners in e-Word-of-Mouth has accelerated with the rise of social media platforms. In the last decade it became more apparent that customers are not merely recipients of product and brand information, but also active participants in shaping product and brand perceptions. However, still no comprehensive understanding of customers’ desire to engage in positive and negative e-Word-of-Mouth has been found. Therefore, this study focuses on Customer Engagement in order to provide knowledge on what makes customers engage in e-Word-of-Mouth. We narrow our study t
