objectives : studies on the effect of coloring procedures on the bond strength of zirconia to resin cement are lacking in the literature. this study evaluated the effect of dipping of zirconia ceramic in different liquid color shades on the microtensile bond strength (mtbs) of zirconia ceramic to resin cement. materials and methods: this in vitro study was conducted on 100 microbar specimens di...

Nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decline or "dipping" is an active, central, nervously governed process, which is important for BP regulation during daytime. It is, however, not known whether the sleep process itself or, more specifically, slow-wave sleep (SWS) is important for normal dipping. Therefore, in the present study, healthy subjects (6 females, 5 males) were selectively deprived of SWS b...

BACKGROUND In healthy individuals, blood pressure (BP) decreases, or "dips", during sleep. Ethnicity and high daytime blood pressure level are known markers of nondipping status. The literature on psychological markers of nondipping is scant but suggests that anger/hostility and chronic stress may be contributors to nondipping. PURPOSE We have investigated this phenomenon in drug-free hyperte...

The effectiveness and residual activities of permethrin-impregnated military battle dress uniforms were evaluated by comparing a new company-manufactured ready-to-use polymer-coating method with two "dipping methods" that are currently used to treat uniforms. Residual permethrin amounts and remaining contact toxicities on treated fabrics before and after up to 100 launderings were tested agains...

Title of Document: EFFECTS OF SOLDER-DIPPING AS A TERMINATION RE-FINISHING TECHNIQUE Shirsho Sengupta, M.S., Mechanical Engineering, June 2006 Directed By: Prof. Michael G. Pecht, Chair Professor, Mechanical Engineering Solder-dipping may be used to replace tin-rich finishes with eutectic tin-lead for tinwhiskering risk mitigation purposes. However, re-finishing also subjects electronic parts t...

dermatophilosis is a bacterial skin infection and wet conditions like, raining and dipping predispose sheep to it. a great economic loss can be caused by this disease because of its effect on the quality of wool. in iran (near saveh), there was an outbreak of the disease in a herd and the clinical manifestation was different from that of typical dermatophilosis. diffuse wide alopecic area accom...
