    This study aimed to identify the effective factors on Saudi audience like reading electronic and printed newspaper. The study used the method of media survey in which using in input uses, satisfaction and media richness theory. The study used a questionnaire which applied on sample includes (400) individual. The results of the study indicated that study sample of Saudi audience read Saudi newspapers by 44% (sometimes) and what Saudi audience prefer, electronic newspapers came first by 49. 5%, local topics came first in electronic and printed newspaper, factors affecting in audience reading, the readability of the content to show in large parts came first stage at the electronic newspaper average 3. 91. The ease of using newspaper’s website came at the first order for electronic newspaper average 4. 44. In the light of results, there were a lot of recommendations and proposals to overcome the negative factor which disable audience to read printed and electronic newspapers. In the light of results, several studies were recommended to measure the Saudi audiences’ reading for printed and electronic newspaper in order to monitor audience’s attitudes toward method and the degree of audience’s confidence and to know the impact of social media on both of them and work on putting strategies by press and media institutions to face challenges and threaten its future through working on several discussion meetings with intellectuals , interested and experts in the field of journalism.

Tracy and Doremus have demonstrated chemical bonding between bone and hydroxylapatite with transmission electron microscopy. Now researchers ponder how to improve upon this bond in turn improving the life expectancy and biocompatibility of implantable orthopedic devices.This report focuses on a study of the- chemical influences on the interfacial integrity and strength. Pure hydroxylapatite (HAP), magnesium doped HAP, strontium doped HAP, bioglass and medical grade titanium cylinders were implanted into the tibial cortices of New Zealand white rabbits. After 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved for a scanning electron microscopy study coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy.Following sacrifice and careful retrieval, the samples were dehydrated through a graduated series starting with 50% ethanol and continuing through 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol over a period of two days. The samples were embedded in LR White. Again a graduated series was used with solutions of 50, 75 and 100% LR White diluted in ethanol.

Electrodermal and electroencephalic responsivity to sound and to light was studied in 96 normal-hearing adults in three separate sessions. The subjects were subdivided into equal groups of white men, white women, colored men, and colored women. A 1 000 cps pure tone was the conditioned stimulus in two sessions and white light was used in a third session. Heat was the unconditioned stimulus in all sessions. Previously, an inverse relation had been found in white men between the prominence of alpha rhythm in the EEG and the ease with which electrodermal responses could be elicited. This relation did not hold true for white women. The main purpose of the present study was to answer the following questions: (1) are the previous findings on white subjects applicable to colored subjects? (2) are subjects who are most (or least) responsive electrophysiologically on one day equally responsive (or unresponsive) on another day? and (3) are subjects who are most (or least) responsive to sound equally responsive (or unresponsive) to light? In general, each question was answered affirmatively. Other factors influencing responsivity were also studied.

Research in recent years, especially in the analgesic field, has intensively studied the placebo effect and its mechanisms. It has been shown that physical complaints can be efficiently reduced via learning and cognitive processes (conditioning and expectancies). However, despite evidence demonstrating a large variety of physiological similarities between pain and itch, the possible transfer of the analgesic placebo model to itch has not yet been widely discussed in research. This review therefore aims at highlighting potential transfers of placebo mechanisms to itch processes by demonstrating the therapeutic issues in pharmacological treatments for pruritus on a physiological basis and by discussing the impact of psychological mechanisms and psychological factors influencing itch sensations.
