objectives: repairing composite restorations is a challenging procedure especially when two different types of composites are used. this study aimed to compare the repair strength of silorane-based composite (sc) (filtek p90) with that of preheated sc, methacrylate composite (mc)(z250), flowable mc (filtek supreme plus) and different adhesive/composite combinations. materials and methods : eigh...

Malnutrition during gestation and lactation modifies metabolic strategies and leads to metabolic disease in adult life. Studies in human populations suggest that malnutrition during infancy may also induce long term metabolic disorders.The present study investigated if post-weaning and a late period of development might be sensitive for long term metabolic impairment. Hereto male Wistar rats we...

Symmetric and asymmetric epitaxial growth of metals (Ag, Pd, Pt) onto Au nanotriangles via using l-asorbic acid and/or salicylic acid.

Obesity and sarcopenia combination, appropriately defined as sarcopenic obesity (SO), due to disproportionally reduced/low lean body mass compared to excess fat mass, may lead to disability. Aims: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship among sarcopenic obesity, physical performance, disability, and quality of life in a rehabilitation setting. Methods: Participants were recruit...

Nonintrusive polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and stochastic collocation (SC) methods are attractive techniques for uncertainty quantification due to their fast convergence properties and ability to produce functional representations of stochastic variability. PCE estimates coefficients for known orthogonal polynomial basis functions based on a set of response function evaluations, using sampli...

Abnormal changes in skin pigmentation cause considerable cosmetic problems and affect the quality of life. Skin is mainly determined by a pigment called melanin, regulation melanin synthesis incredibly intricate, yet it has become an important strategy global industry leading to development technologies that mitigate unwanted conditions. In this study, we examined effect extract from root rhizo...
