Morphological Heterogeneity and Ethnic Patterning of Anthropometric Traits in Ethiopian Inter-Scholastic Athletes
Abstract: Introduction: Anthropometric characteristics such as body size, proportions, and composition are fundamental determinants of morphological suitability for sport. Ethiopia’s significant ethnic diversity suggests potential variability in these traits; however, systematic data on anthropometric differences among adolescent athletes from different ethnic and demographic backgrounds remain limited. Understanding these variations is critical for talent identification and sports specialization at the school level. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among inter-scholastic athletes representing …

Radix Entomolaris: A Clinical Case Report of Endodontic Treatment on Tooth #46
Abstract: Radix entomolaris (RE) is a rare anatomical variation characterized by the presence of an extra root, most often occurring in mandibular molars. This anatomical anomaly can present significant challenges during endodontic treatment, as it alters the traditional root canal morphology, making diagnosis and treatment more complex. In particular, RE is typically found in the mandibular first molar and can complicate canal identification, cleaning, and shaping. This case report describes the …

Dielectric Behaviour of Nanosilver and Silver-CNT Hybrid Reinforced Nanocomposites
Abstract: The present study concerns study of the dielectric properties of Ag-CNT vis-à-vis Ag reinforced unsaturated polyester matrix composites. The Ag-CNT hybrid was prepared by mechanical milling. Variation of the dielectric properties has been attributed to the morphological features and the degree of dispersion of the fillers. It has been found that dispersion of Ag-CNT hybrid particle is beneficial for improvement of the dielectric properties.
