Current methodologies in displaying dynamic organic frameworks regularly need fathomability, particularly
for users without scientific foundation. In this paper propose another way to deal with defeat such confinements by
joining the graphical representation gave by the utilization of Petri nets with the demonstrating of flow by effective yet
natural fuzzy logic based frameworks. We build a fuzzy reasoning Petri net (FRPN) model for the genetic regulatory
network of the lac operon of E. coli bacterium. Depending on the FPN formalism is a decent other option to
mathematical equations that require dynamic parameter qualities and better than Boolean Formalism which naturally sets
control as "on" or "off" guidelines. The lac operon has been considered as a model framework for comprehension the
molecular biology of gene expression with considered to its regulation. We approve our formal model via programmed
checking a progression of characteristics that are known for the control of the lactose. In this way, we demonstrate the
feasibility of utilizing FRPN to design and reason about biochemical systems.

Completion of root development takes around 3 years after eruption of permanent teeth. Any pulpal injury in
this period can lead to necrosis of pulp. Pulp necrosis of immature permanent teeth may impair root development and
apical closure of root canals. Management of immature non vital teeth is very challenging for a clinician because teeth
may have wide open apex and thin root canal walls that may diverge towards the apex. Conventional cleaning and
shaping of the canals and obturation may not be possible because of the lack of apical stop. This case report presents two
cases of apexification. First case, managed using Calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste for multiple visit apexification
which had a rare apexogenesis like outcome and second case using MTA for single visit apexification followed by root
reinforcement with Glass fiber reinforced composite post.

Plasma cell leukemia (LP) is a rare ailment that is defined by the presence in the peripheral blood smear of
20% plasma cells or circulating plasma cells that is greater than 2 G / L. There are two variants: the primary form
occurring de novo, diagnosed directly in the leukemic phase and the secondary form complicating an already known
multiple myeloma. We report in this work a case diagnosed in the laboratory of hematology of the CHU Hassan II of Fez
of a multiple myeloma transformed into plasma cell leukemia. It is a rare entity but should not be neglected. Secondary
plasma cell leukemia maintains most of the characteristics of multiple myeloma in contrast to primitive plasma cell
leukemia. Our work aims to show the common characteristics of the primitive and secondary forms of this leukemia and
to discuss the peculiarities of each one.

Increasing demand in energy facilitated the need of clean energy such as wind energy. Residences, buildings
and commercial sites needs more power, but also continuous power. Important facilities such as wireless or radio sets
requires small amount of energy, but with a continuous supply. This project was done to design and construct a vertical
axis wind turbine for small scale use. After an introduction about the historical background of wind turbine, the report
deals with a more accurate analysis of the main type of vertical axis wind turbine, showing their characteristics,
advantages and disadvantages, differences between vertical axis wind turbine and horizontal axis wind turbine and their
operations. The parameter of the wind turbines was discussed and the generators (stator) that can be used to connect the
wind mill to the electricity grid are reported as well. Several statistics are also presented, in order to explain how the
development of the wind energy in Nigeria. Results from trials shows that as the speed increases, there is increase in
voltage and this in turn implies a watt change at different speeds. This also implies that when there is high wind, there is
a higher rpm. The turbine fulfilled all specifications such as efficiency above 80%, 33Watt output power and likewise the
capacity is adequate for its purpose and was proven to be efficient in generation of current.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) causes a wide spectrum of clinical disorders with pathogenic factors such
as various toxins. The aims of this study were analysis of the prevalence of pvl gene among MSSA, MRSA, HA-MRSA,
CA-MRSA and MSSA+MRSA groups in Iran. The prevalence of Panton-valentine leukocidin in Iran was searched from
searching engines such as Google, Google Scholar, PubMed, Sciverse and so on. The terms PVL, MRSA, MSSA, Iran
were investigated. Data was entered in Excel and Graph Pad Prism 6 for the analysis. Both children and adults were
included in the study. Twenty-one previous publications on pvl gene prevalence were found. According to the results, the
most prevalence of pvl gene was in MRSA, particularly in CA-MRSA group. However, the prevalence among HAMRSA and MSSA groups was 17 and 25 percent respectively, showing a growing number of these strains encoding
Panton valentine leukocidin toxin. The highest prevalence of pvl gene among previous publications was detected in CAMRSA (74%), followed by 66.26% in HA-MRSA, 60% in HA+CA MRSA, 50% in MSSA+MRSA and 40.9% in
MSSA+MRSA. On the other hand, the lowest prevalence was found in MSSA (3.3%) and 6% in MSSA+MRSA.
Furthermore, previous hospitalization, carrier subjects, and age of them were possible risk factors in this case. The
prevalence of pvl gene is significantly higher in MRSA than MSSA (p<0.05) and likewise higher in CA-MRSA than HAMRSA strains. There is an increasing rate of presence of pvl gene in MSSA and HA-MRSA, showing transmission of
related SAG prophage to methicillin susceptible and also healthcare associated strains. Previous hospitalization, carrier
subjects, and age of them were possible risk factors in this case.
