Introductory Chapter: Epizootics as a Field of Study – The Importance Is Not Limited to Human Health
Recent developments in scanning technology, virtual modeling, and three-dimensional (3D) printing have made every aspect of fabricating a patient-specific appliance possible in an orthodontic setup. The ability to acquire a real-time 3D diagnostic dataset with an intraoral scan or cone-beam tomography (CBCT) is rapidly changing our practice workflo...
The aim of the study was to determine the level of heavy metals in sorghum and Pearl millet and plant responses to heavy metals in contaminated soils close to Letseng and Kao diamond mining sites in Lesotho. A number of plant parameters were measured, namely, height, chlorophyll content, plant morphology, and heavy metal contents in plants to find ...
Perovskite materials have attracted attention because of their favorable features, which include configurable bandgap, improved charge transport, and unique electronic structure. The authors emphasize the most recent developments in PSC synthesis, innovative device architecture, bandgap engineering, charge transport processes, and stability. The ne...
The purpose of this work is to determine the thermodynamic properties of coconut powder fortified with physiologically active components, obtained through spray drying (
This article shows the development of comprehensive protection for electrical power machines, that is, motors, transformers, and generators, using fuzzy logic. The equivalent block diagram of any electrical machine to be protected is shown. The selection criteria for the protection of said equipment are shown, and the entire process necessary to ap...
This chapter analyzes the factors and digital capabilities that impact the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur in Mexico. Based on data obtained from the Digital Skills Profiler of the Ministry of Economy for the year 2021, we constructed a digital skills indicator divided into two levels: basic and advanced. A probit regression model was employ...
This chapter lays the groundwork for the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by guiding readers through the construction of a robust hierarchical structure. A clear problem definition and desired outcomes are emphasized as the foundation for a successful AHP process. The chapter explores how these elements help create structured objectives, providing ...
In this study, we are interested in the elimination of fluoride ions in a batch and dynamic reactor by adsorption on fly ash from the Jorf-Lasfar thermal power plant in El Jadida, Morocco. Indeed, the results obtained showed that the fly ash made it possible to have treated water meeting international standards for fluorides and certain metals such...
On a world basis, about one-third of forest-living insect species are saproxylic, that is, they depend directly or indirectly on dead wood. They represent many different insect groups, but the highest species numbers are found among Coleoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera. Many saproxylic species are red-listed due to the impact of modern forestry. Pr...
