One-hundred percent local plaster-based building materials were developed using Alfa (Stipa tenacissima L.) fibers from eastern Morocco region. Indeed, the incorporation of natural in is one promising approaches to design new bio-based and green sector. The present study concerns fabrication, investigation thermophysical properties energy saving potential Alfa-plasterboard for roofing applicati...

The aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility, reliability and validity of measurements in digital models compared to plaster models. Fifteen pairs of plaster models were obtained from orthodontic patients with permanent dentition before treatment. These were digitized to be evaluated with the program Cécile3 v2.554.2 beta. Two examiners measured three times the mesiodistal width o...

In present study, two kinds of thermal power plant ashes; one the fly ash and the other waste ash are mixed with adhesive tragacanth and cement to produce new composite materials. 48 new samples are produced by varying the percentages of the fly ash, waste ash, cement and tragacanth. The new samples are subjected to some tests to find out their properties such as thermal conductivity, compressi...

Of 42 patients with resolving infantile idiopathic scoliosis, 34 were followed up for more than 25 years. Twenty had been primarily treated in a plaster bed and 14 by physiotherapy. The mean angle of the curve at presentation was 17 degrees and at follow-up it was 5 degrees. No patient had significant progression of the scoliosis during the growth spurt. When adults few had back pain or an incr...
