Abstract Aim To establish the efficacy of oscillating‐rotating power toothbrush (OR‐PTB) compared to high‐frequency sonic power toothbrush (HFS‐PTB) on improving parameters of plaque and gingival inflammation. Safety and participants' preference were secondary interests. Materials and methods MEDLINE‐PubMed and Cochrane‐CENTRAL databases were searched,

On noncollapsed almost Ricci-flat 4-manifolds [PDF]
We give topological conditions to ensure that a noncollapsed almost Ricci-flat 4-manifold admits a Ricci-flat metric. One sufficient condition is that the manifold is spin and has a nonzero A-hat genus. Another condition is that the fundamental group is infinite or, more generally, of sufficiently large cardinality.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

On the local extension of Killing vector-fields in Ricci flat manifolds [PDF]
We revisit the extension problem for Killing vector-fields in smooth Ricci flat manifolds, and its relevance to the black hole rigidity problem. We prove both a stronger version of the main local extension result established earlier, as well as two types of results concerning non-extendibility. In particular, we show that one can find local, stationary,

Infinite families of homogeneous Bismut Ricci flat manifolds
Starting from compact symmetric spaces of inner type, we provide infinite families of compact homogeneous spaces carrying invariant non-flat Bismut connections with vanishing Ricci tensor. These examples turn out to be generalized symmetric spaces of order [Formula: see text] and (up to coverings) they can be realized as minimal submanifolds of the ...

Some notes on the tangent bundle with a Ricci quarter-symmetric metric connection
Let $ (M, g) $ be an $ n $-dimensional (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold and $ TM $ be its tangent bundle $ TM $ equipped with the complete lift metric $ ^{C}g $.

Ricci-Flat Metrics on Vector Bundles Over Flag Manifolds [PDF]
AbstractWe construct explicit complete Ricci-flat metrics on the total spaces of certain vector bundles over flag manifolds of the group SU(n), for all Kähler classes. These metrics are natural generalizations of the metrics of Candelas–de la Ossa on the conifold, Pando Zayas–Tseytlin on the canonical bundle over $$\mathbb {CP}^1\times \mathbb {CP}^1 ...
