Ridge resorption with altered dimension of the alveolar ridge will inevitably occur after tooth extraction with a negative impact on the subsequent implant position, implant restoration, and esthetic result. Despite the several techniques that have been suggested in literature, none of them could counteract this physiologic consequence after tooth...

Dental plaque biofilms are among the most complex microbial communities in nature. Failure to deal with plaque in the early stage of formation may lead to the development of oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis. Various strategies have been employed to reduce or eliminate dental biofilms, one of them is the use of...

Autism is widely spread in most populations including the Palestinian population. The disease is characterized as developmental disorder with clear genetics involvement accompanied with various disturbing behavioral symptoms. Our project aims to investigate if specific haplotypes of a neuronal membrane protein gene are Linked and represent a marker...

In the present study we will try to explore the cause of the Crohn’s disease. Two theories have been proposed by many previous investigators. One theory is in favor of being a genetic disease, while the second theory states that Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP) is the cause. In this project a detailed optimized protocol for...

In this proposed research work, investigators will seek to explore to how much extent wet-cupping-therapeutic techniques are practical and fruitful in the treatment of psychosomatics and related psychophysical symptoms, particularly in the case of chronic headaches. In many situations, traditional medical interventions do fail in such treatments...

To investigate the regenerative effect of the use of Leucocyte- and Platelet- rich fibrin (L-PRF) during periodontal surgery for the treatment of intra-bony defects, furcation defects and marginal tissue recessions in chronic periodontitis patients.

We have evaluated the anti-diabetic activity of several medicinal plants in vitro. Recently, we have tested the role of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) in the anti-diabetic activity of Ocimum basilicum (OB) and Tucrium polium (TP) methanol-, hexane- and dichloromethane- extracts. Phytochemical analysis of the extracts by GC/MS revealed cohort new...

In this project an indium metallic nano- layers of thickness of 20, 50, 100 and 200 nm will be sandwiched between two 500 nm thick Ga2S3 thin films by the physical vapor deposition technique under vacuum pressure of 10-5 torr. The effect of the In metal nanolayers on the structural, optical, dielectric and electrical properties will be investigated...

In this work, The TlInS2xSe2(1-x) are studied by means of temperature dependent X-ray diffraction technique, scanning electron microscopy attached to dispersive X-ray analyzer (SEM/EDXA), optical spectrophotometry, impedance spectroscopy, current- voltage characteristics and photo-illumination techniques. The measurements will allow investigation...

In this project, we will study experimentally the main dynamical and thermal properties for different semiconductor lasers including VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting laser diodes) and quantum dot and dash lasers in both continuous operation and pulsed operation. Mainly, we will study the peak power, threshold current density, resistance...
