objectives : the aim of this study was to compare apical sealing ability of alpha and beta phases of gutta-percha by means of bacterial leakage model. materials and methods: fifty single-rooted human premolars were selected. the root canals were prepared with mtwo rotary instruments up to apical #35.04. forty teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n= 20). the root canals were obturated by...

this work reports the results of the application of the second-order maccormack method for numerical solution of‎ the conservative form of two-dimensional non-hydrostatic and fully compressible navier-stokes equations governing an inviscid and adiabatic atmosphere‎. various aspects of the computational approach such as discretization of the governing equations for the interior and boundary poin...

We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connects the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of a thermally bistable interstellar medium. The front becomes an evaporation or condensation front depending on the surrounding pressure. The stability analysis is performed in ...

[1] In aerial surveys conducted during the Tropical Ocean–Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment and the low-wind component of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST-Low) oceanographic field programs, sea surface temperature (SST) variability at relatively short spatial scales (O(50 m) to O(1 km)) was observed to increase with decreasing wind speed. A unique...

The western Pacific warm pool experiences the greatest rainfall of any oceanic region on earth. While the SST is everywhere high over the warm pool, there is great spatial and temporal variability in rainfall. Sounding data from the recent TOGA COARE are used to document this variability. In particular, the vertical distributions of heating and moistening at different phases of the 30–60 day or...

The temperature profile of a planetary atmosphere is key diagnostic radiative and dynamical processes governing the absorption, redistribution, emission energy. Observations have revealed dayside stratospheres that either cool or warm with altitude for small number gas giant exoplanets, while other are consistent constant temperatures. Here we report spectroscopic phase curve measurements WASP-...
