A 2-year greenhouse study was conducted at Clemson University, Clemson, S.C., in 2003 and 2004 to determine drought responses of six bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) cultivars at four irrigation intervals. Cultivars selected from the 2002 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Bermudagrass Trial were ‘SWI-1012’, ‘Arizona Common’, ‘Tift No.3’, ‘Tifsport’, ‘Aussie Green’, and ‘Celebration’. Treatments ...

The present research analyzed the reciprocating instrumentation associated to chlorhexidine (CHX) substantivity as its correlation with E. faecalis viability in ex vivo root canals. Eighty extracted single-rooted human teeth were used, being 40 high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In both, decoronated cervical third was prepared. CLSM anal...

This study evaluates the effect of subgingival irrigation with a 1% chlorhexidine collagen gel in periodontal pockets as an adjunct procedure to scaling and root planing (SRP). Thirty-seven sites with probing depth (PD) of 5-7 mm and BANA positive in 6 patients with chronic periodontal disease were selected. Sites were assigned to different treatment groups consisting of SRP only (group 1), SRP...

ABSTRACT The direct carbonate procedure for accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14 C) dating of submilligram samples biogenic without graphitization is becoming widely used in a variety studies. We compare the results 153 paired and standard graphite C determinations on single specimens an assortment carbonates. A reduced major axis regression shows strong relationship between percen...

Introduction: Nowadays in the field of dentistry, there is a trend to encourage the use of herbal and natural products. The high level of clinical research in terms of considering green tea and aloe vera, with various functionality for individual use is a typical example. The purpose of this randomized, controlled, and double-blind study was to evaluate comparative evaluation of green tea-aloe ...

purpose: to compare visual and refractive outcomes as well as graft survival after penetrating keratoplasty (pk) in keratoconic patients with or without acute hydrops. methods: in this comparative interventional case series, 14 eyes of 14 keratoconic patients with acute hydrops (group 1) and 37 eyes of 37 keratoconic patients with no history of acute hydrops (group 2) underwent pk. visual acuit...

for comparison the growth characteristics and quantitative and qualitative yield of two summer savory species (such as satureja khuzestanica and s. rechingeri) in response to rainfed and irrigated conditions, an experiment was carried out on the basis of split-plot design in completely randomized block design with three replicates in north of khuzestan during growing season of 2012-2013. irriga...

abstract shortage and improper distribution of rainfall in tea growing period are important growth limiting factors in tea fields in northern part of iran. if there is not any other limited factors, supplemental irrigation by sprinkler can increase tea yield. this study was carried out in order to investigate the optimum sprinkler irrigation interval on yield and water use efficiency of tea. th...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic treatment removes all pathogens, such as Enterococcus faecalis from pulp and root canals. The aim of this study is to assess the usefulness of sodium hypo-chlorite (NaOCl) in removing E. faecalis from the root canal used with three different irrigation methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on freshly extracted maxillary incisors. After biomechanical p...
