introduction: the exact measurement of the root canal length is of great importance in root canal therapy. although, determination of the root canal length through radiography is the most common method, recently electronic apex locators are being used to determine working length and decrease the number of radiographs. the purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of an electronic apex l...

With the assistance of molecular docking and 3D-QSAR models established previously, structurally identical (18)F- and (125)I-labeled benzyloxybenzene derivatives were designed to achieve the early detection of Aβ plaques by PET/SPECT imaging. In competition binding assay, ligands 7a and 12a displayed high binding affinities to Aβ42 aggregates with Ki values of 19.5 nM and 23.9 nM, respectively....

some growth parameters of pea (cv. pleven 4) and vetch (cv. obrazets 666) after treatment with organic fertilizer were studied in a field trial carried out at the institute of forage crops, pleven, bulgaria. humustim as organic fertilizer was applied through presowing treatment of seeds, treatment during vegetation and combination between both, at different doses. ratios of aboveground weight t...

two different propagation procedures including aeroponics and soil systems were compared for the minitubers production in potato. the minitubers were evaluated for several quality characters. the plant materials were from three cultivars, agria, marfona and savalan. the plantlets were grown in aeroponics and soil production systems at a plant density of 100 plants per m-2 and stem length, root ...

today, the production of healthy and high quality seedlings is the main factors of success in growing vegetables such as tomato. hence, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of vermicompost and nitrogen on the growth parameters of tomato seedlings (lycopersicon esculentum mill. cv. rio grande), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete design with three repl...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of age on root resorption and distribution along different parts of the root during prolonged light force application. MATERIAL AND METHODS Orthodontic appliances were placed in two groups of 30 rats (one group 6 weeks old, the other 9-12 months old), with contralateral sides as controls. Groups of animals were killed at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. At the stu...

root morphological and distribution responses of signal grass (brachiaria decumbens) to long-term cattle grazing were examined in a tropical pasture in malaysia. the treatments were no grazing by cattle and grazing at a moderate stocking density (2.7 animal unit/ha) under rotational grazing for 33 years. the method consists of taking soil core using a soil corer to a depth of 30 cm and extracti...
