Attitude and Knowledge of Orthodontics among General Dentists and Non-Orthodontic Specialists: A Questionnaire Based Survey
...Show More Authors

Aim: This study aimed to assessing orthodontic knowledge and attitude among general dentists and non-orthodontic specialists. Background: Early detection of orthodontic disorders is essentialin motivating patients to intervene prior to long term complications when the disorders are not recongised. Methods: A questionnaire was distributed amongst dentistsother than orthodontists. This questionnaire consisted of three sections. The first one aimed to collect demographic, educational level and practice type information. Further two sections consisted of closed-end questions designed to evaluateknowledge and attitude of orthodontics. Results: A total of 313 responses to the survey were submitted. No significant correlation was observed, except for the specialty and qualification towards orthodontics knowledge. In terms of gender demographics, females had significantly higher attitude toward orthodontics compared to males. Conclusion: The results emphasise the vital role of continuing education programs and updating the curricula of dental colleges in the promotion of knowledge and attitude toward orthodontics among dentists. Clinical Significance: Knowledge and attitude of general practitioners and non-orthodontic specialists toward orthodontic issues is crucial in diagnosis and referral to receive proper treatment at early stages.

A Modified Vigenère Cipher based on Time and Biometrics features
...Show More Authors

Biometrics is widely used with security systems nowadays; each biometric modality can be useful and has distinctive properties that provide uniqueness and ambiguity for security systems especially in communication and network technologies. This paper is about using biometric features of fingerprint, which is called (minutiae) to cipher a text message and ensure safe arrival of data at receiver end. The classical cryptosystems (Caesar, Vigenère, etc.) became obsolete methods for encryption because of the high-performance machines which focusing on repetition of the key in their attacks to break the cipher. Several Researchers of cryptography give efforts to modify and develop Vigenère cipher by enhancing its weaknesses.

Thiophosgene Detection by Ag-Decorated AlN Nanotube: A Mechanical Quantum Survey
...Show More Authors

The density functional B3LYP is used to investigate the effect of decorating the silver (Ag) atom on the sensing capability of an AlN nanotube (AlN-NT) in detecting thiophosgene (TP). There is a weak interaction between the pristine AlN-NT and TP with the sensing response (SR) of approximately 9.4. Decoration of the Ag atom into the structure of AlN-NT causes the adsorption energy of TP to decrease from − 6.2 to − 22.5 kcal/mol. Also, the corresponding SR increases significantly to 100.5. Moreover, the recovery time when TP is desorbed from the surface of the Ag-decorated AlN-NT (Ag@AlN-NT) is short, i.e., 24.9 s. The results show that Ag@AlN-NT can selectively detect TP among other gases, such as N2, O2, CO2, CO, and H2O.
