The study aimed to assess how aging affects oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and determine how important dental care is for older people. The database of PubMed Central was electronically searched, and the search strategy was restricted to human studies (cross-sectional, case-control, and single- and double-blinded trials), and full-text English papers published from January 2010 through December 2022. The results showed an evident association between OHRQoL and elderly patients' dental care, which necessitates preventive and early intervention along with prompt treatment for the elderly.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is often used when compaction is difficult, requiring special attention to the curing process. However, traditional curing methods usually fail in practice. Despite taking precise measures to control water evaporation, surface water on vertical structure elements can still be problematic.

We propose PhaseForensics, a DeepFake (DF) video detection method that uses a phase-based motion representation of facial temporal dynamics. Existing methods that rely on temporal information across video frames for DF detection have many advantages over the methods that only utilize the per-frame features. However, these temporal DF detection methods still show limited cross-dataset generalization and robustness to common distortions due to factors such as error-prone motion estimation, inaccurate landmark tracking, or the susceptibility of the pixel intensity-based features to adversarial distortions and the cross-dataset domain shifts.

A rectangular enclosure filled with a combination of an arbitrary buoyancy ratio has an Oseen-linear solution, and the position of Beavers and Joseph's condition is employed at the porous fluid interface. Thermal radiation's interaction with a porous lining influences overall heat transfer in a system.

Background And Objectives: Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt procedures can improve idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) symptoms. However, there are no automated methods that quantify the presurgery and postsurgery changes in the ventricular volume for computed tomography scans. Hence, the main goal of this research was to quantify longitudinal changes in the ventricular volume and its correlation with clinical improvement in iNPH symptoms.
