A Reviewon Dental Carries in Children
Abstract: Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in man, worldwide. It is a multifactorial disease that starts with microbiological shifts within the complex biofilm (dental plaque). It is therefore of the utmost important to prevent the caries disease, but this will not be successful unless the available scientific knowledge relating to ways of changing the etiological factors of the disease is applied. However, there are still a …

ADVANCEMENTS AND CHALLENGES OF MODERN BREEDING OVER CONVENTIONAL BREEDING
Abstract: Plant breeding dates back thousands of years, when people first deliberately bred plants based on visually pleasing characteristics. The domestication of wild plants aided this process, resulting in the evolution of numerous breeding strategies over time. Conventional breeding, which is distinguished by selective breeding based on superior performance, used procedures such as pure-line selections, mass selection, backcross breeding, recurrent selection, and hybridization. While effective, classical breeding procedures were time-consuming and …
