OBJECTIVES To determine the actual revolutions per minute (rpm) values and compare the cyclic fatigue life of Reciproc (RPC, VDW GmbH), WaveOne (WO, Dentsply Maillefer), and TF Adaptive (TFA, Axis/SybronEndo) nickel-titanium (NiTi) file systems using high-speed camera. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty RPC R25 (25/0.08), 20 WO Primary (25/0.08), and 20 TFA ML 1 (25/0.08) files were employed in the...

Walnut oil (WO) is a good source of a-linolenic acid. We compared the eŠects of WO and high-linoleic saŒower oil (HLSO) on the serum lipid level and atherosclerosis development in male and female apolipoprotein (apo) E-deˆcient mice. The WO diet resulted in a higher level of serum cholesterol than with HLSO. Female mice fed on the WO diet had a greater lesion area in the aortic root than did th...

Karstification is adopted to develop a new synthetic strategy for single-crystalline WO(3) octahedra bound with {111} facets from irregular-shaped commercial WO(3) particles.

Objectives To examine the surface topography of intact WaveOne (WO; Dentsply Sirona Endodontics) and WaveOne Gold (WOG; Dentsply Sirona Endodontics) nickel-titanium rotary files and to evaluate the presence of alterations to the surface topography after root canal preparations of severely curved root canals in molar teeth. Materials and Methods Forty-eight severely curved canals of extracted ...

The n-type tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) polycrystalline thin films have been prepared at an optimized parameters (0.20M, 5 ml and 500oC) using jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis (JNSP) technique. Such prepared WO 3 films were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX, UV-vis from I-V. The XRD pattern of the optimized WO 3 film reveals the monoclinic structure. The SEM and EDAX images shows that the surface morpholo...

The weak order polytope P n WO is the polytope in R n(n?1) whose ver-tices correspond to the members of the family of reeexive weak orders on f1; 2 : : : ; ng when each coordinate of R n(n?1) is associated with a diierent ordered pair (i; j) of distinct points in f1; 2; : : : ; ng. The vertex w that corresponds to weak order W has w (i;j) = 1 if i-j in W and has w (i;j) = 0 otherwise, with P n ...

Persimmon-like NaLa(WO(4))(2) microarchitectures were prepared via hydrothermal process with using trisodium citrate (Na(3)Cit) as chelated reagent and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), photoluminescence (PL), and fluorescent dynamics. The influences of Na(3)Cit concentration, organic additivities, and reaction time on the morphologi...

The branched-chain amino acid leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis in part by directly activating the mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, leucine, if given in conjunction with resistance exercise, enhances the exercise-induced mTOR signaling and protein synthesis. Here we tested whether leucine can activate the mTOR anabolic signaling pathway in uremia and whether it can enhance work ov...
