Dental porcelain was produced by mixing feldspar, silica, kaolin and bone ash varying the contents of feldspar silica. The processing steps include milling, sieving, pressing/shaping, drying, sintering while characterisation techniques were Hardness, Compressive strength, X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). mixture subjected to temperatures 1100 12...

As part of the project EDDA+ (Early Detection Dangerous Areas in road traffic using smart data), a web-based crowdsourcing platform has been launched on which users can report danger spots they face everyday traffic. Whereas official police collision data only be used reactively, these user reports are intended to warn other and provide safety stakeholders with detailed information for proactiv...

Background: Bombesin shows high affinity for Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptors which over expressed on the cell surfaces of several human tumors particularly in prostate and breast cancers. The aim of this study was labeling of designed analogue with99mTc via HYNIC and Tricine /EDDA and evaluation as potential targeted tumor scintigraphic agent. Materials and Methods: HYNIC-Bombesin wa...

OBJECTIVE: To test, with a sample of adolescent mothers (16–20 at childbirth) and their first-born infants/toddlers (average age 1 year), whether the impact of a home visiting (HV) child maltreatment prevention program was moderated by maternal depression. METHODS: The study design was a randomized controlled trial of Healthy Families Massachusetts, a statewide child maltreatment prevention pro...

6-Hydrazinonicotinic acid (HYNIC, 1) is a well-established bifunctional technetium-binding ligand often used to synthesise bioconjugates for radiolabelling with Tc-99m. It is capable of efficient capture of technetium at extremely low concentrations, but the structure of the labelled complexes is heterogeneous and incompletely understood. In particular, it is of interest to determine whether, a...
