battery pack is the main energy storage element, and directly affects the performance of electric vehicle. this paper selects the forced air cooling of horizontal battery pack as the study object, and researches the heat dissipation performance of different operating conditions with fleunt software. results indicate that: according to the four kinds of transient state conditions and steady stat...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the fit of two types of all-ceramic single crowns and indirect composite resin full coverage crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty intact human mandibular first premolars were selected for this study and prepared using a machine to standardize the dimensions and randomly divided into 3 groups. Slip cast (IC) (In-Ceram Zirconia, Vita Zahnfabrik), copy-milled zirconi...

OBJECTIVE To radiographically evaluate the quality of cementation and implantation technique using a polished, triple-tapered femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHOD Retrospective study with radiographic evaluation of 86 hips in 83 patients who underwent to primary THA with the triple-tapered cemented femoral stem C-Stem (DePuy Orthopedics, Warsaw, Indiana). Cases with at least o...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of different abutment geometries in combination with varying luting agents and the effectiveness of different cleaning methods (prior to re-cementation) regarding the retentiveness of zirconia copings on implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Implants were embedded in resin blocks. Three groups of titanium abutments (pre-fabricated, height: 7.5 mm, taper: 5.7°; custom...

Petrophysical parameters such as porosity, water and oil saturations, formation resistivity factor, etc. describe the storage capability of the porous media or the capacity of rocks to hold fluids. The modified Archie’s equation . / . , also called the saturation equation, is used to determine the water saturation. Archie’s parameters, namely , , and , are sometimes assumed constant to simp...

INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the cervical fit of cemented metal-ceramic and In-Ceram implant-supported crowns, before and after the cementing procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty crowns cemented on implant abutments are divided into two groups (n = 10): Group 1 -cemented metal-ceramic crowns and group 2 - cemented In-Ceram crowns. The marginal adaptations before and after cementation ...

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fracture load and marginal accuracy of crowns made from a shrinkage-free ZrSiO4 ceramic cemented with glass-ionomer or composite cement after chewing simulation. Thirty-two human mandibular molars were randomly divided into two groups. All teeth were prepared for and restored with shrinkage-free ZrSiO4 ceramic crowns (Everest HPC, KaVo). The cr...

OBJECTIVE This experimental in vitro study compared marginal adaptation of indirect composite, glass-ceramic inlays and direct composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-five recently extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=25) and mesio-occluso-distal cavities with the same dimensions were prepared in the teeth. Indirect composite and glass-ceramic inlays were fabrica...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated in vitro the influence of an eugenol-based sealer (EndoFill) on the retention of stainless steel prefabricated posts cemented with zinc phosphate and resin-based (Panavia F) cements after different periods of root canal obturation, using the pull-out test. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty upper canines were decoronated and the roots were embedded in resin blocks. The ...
