Root canal therapy (RCT) is currently the most common and effective method for the treatment of endodontic or periapical diseases. The complex root canal morphology of mandibular first molar is a major challenge for its root canal treatment. The application of nickel-titanium instruments has brought new breakthroughs in root canal therapy, but also brought some new hidden dangers. This article reviews the research status of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guided nickel-titanium instruments for mandibular first molar preparation in recent years.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"280 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77071936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sapinit, SitioDagulos, and MaramagBukidnon was investigated. The main objective of the study is to determine the species richness of macrolichens in the vicinity of Mt. Sapinit. Transect walk and quadrat sampling were carried out in the collection of macrolichens. The gathering and identification of specimens collected was based on standard taxonomical procedure. Results of the study revealed a total of 20 species classified into 7 genera and 13 families. The most family-rich species belong to the family Lobariaceae, and the least family-rich belong to Ramalinaceae, Collemataceae, and Dictyonemaceae. Most of the epiphytic macrolichens belong to the family Parmeliaceae, which dominates the entire montane forest. The distribution of macrolichens across the area occurs in the bark of the tree, logs and twigs, and in tree branches.Elevation also have impact to the growth of lichen species. Higher elevations appear to provide suitable condition for many lichen species to thrive. Thus, the need to preserve the forest ecosystem is essential in order to conserve the lichen communities.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81343229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most rural women in Nigeria are the invisible farmers and they form the backbone of rural development, however more than half of Nigeria’s food is produced by female farmers. These studies analyze the profitability and efficiency of tomato production among female farmers in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State. The study specifically described the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, determines the technical efficiency and factors affecting technical efficiency and lastly estimated the profitability of tomato production in the study area. The study revealed that the female tomato farmers were adult and active, most of the farmers were literate, majority had 5 household sizes and less and most of the female tomato farmers had little experience in tomato production. The study also revealed that farm size, capital and labour were the factors that significantly affected tomato production of the respondents while the variables representing household size and number years spent in school affected the Inefficiency of farmers in the study area. The mean technical efficiency was found to be 0.97 (or 97%) which implied that, on the average, the farmers were 97% technically efficient; hence their observed output was about 3% less than the maximum frontier output.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78870279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper equally highlighted on the various types of exhibitions pointing out the virtual exhibition as a new inclusion that has greatly changed the traditional format of visual art exhibition with its attendant impact on the outcome of the results of exhibitions. The highlighted focuses on the challenges of understanding the scope of the basic types of exhibition in contemporary times, as has been redefined by the concept of virtual exhibition. The relevance of exhibition to artists and the significance to the public is deeply discussed with the aim of positioning visual art exhibition in its rightful place as a catalyst for social change. This assertion could be seen in the significant effort of Kenneth C. Murray as a pioneer curator and organizer of visual art exhibition in Nigeria. Murray was a British Art Teacher in Nigeria who was instrumental to the establishment of Oron Museum in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, and he recognized Oron Carvings since 1938 and collected them for permanent art exhibition in the Oron Museum. The above therefore formed the conceptual framework of this paper. The opinions, positions and oppositions of other authorities in this matter are considered as they form the indices for postulating the idea of art exhibition as catalyst for social unification. However, the paper concludes that for the visual art exhibition to function as a catalyst for social unification, the elements of unity and integration must be factors the exhibitions composed of, for it to engender the expression of such feelings of social togetherness.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91372057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, many plants in the industry are described mathematically by higher order systems that are approximated with the lower order systems, most frequently such processes and systems are described mathematically as first-order-systems-with time-delay (FOSTD), also called first-order-plus-dead-time (FOPDT). The presence of time delays causes degradation and limitation of achieving desired performance, moreover, it can induce instability. In such cases, design of feedback control algorithm becomes difficult and tedious task. The present work suggests an efficient, simple, linear, and easy to apply design expressions for designing continuous PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control algorithm modes to control the behavior of FOPDT systems. The design expressions are intended to overcome negative effects of time delay presence, as well as, to simplify the control algorithm design process and help designer, in easy and simple way, to get system under control with acceptable system stability, medium fastness of response and without or with minimum possible overshoot, oscillation and error. For testing and evaluating the correctness, applicability and efficiency of the derived expressions, MATLAB/Simulink software was applied to develop refined software simulation model that simulates real life values and returns maximum needed numerical and graphical data for assessment process. In addition, various FOSTD systems’ types and forms were used in the simulation model, in particular, systems with small, medium and large time constants, DC gains, and time delay, unstable systems, systems with variable delay. Furthermore, to assess the efficiency of suggested design expressions, the resulted overall system response were compared with resulted responses when two design methods were applied; worldwide known Ziegler Nichols method and MATLAB/Simulink auto-tuned PID block. Analysis of numerical and graphical testing results, show that, The designed control algorithm applying the suggested expressions can, not only simplify the design process, but also, efficient for successful in getting system under control and improving controlling system performance, speeding up response, reduce overshoot, and minimize error, but also stabilize an unstable plants.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79857486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
