It has been suggested that patients should accept the use of the air abrasion technique over the conventional handpiece due to the reduced need for anesthesia. Technologies for both air abrasion and the conventional rotary handpiece have, in recent decades, seen major improvements, but there are no recent scientific publications that evaluate the patient's preference for these two technologies ...

The results are described of ongoing field and laboratory experiments to estimate losses from shingle beaches due to abrasion. Field abrasion experiments of two exotic lithologies (quartzite and limestone) used as tracers on two flint shingle beaches at Telscombe and Saltdean in East Sussex, UK, have been carried out over 23 months, resulting in 985 weight loss measurements. Relationships betwe...

In order to solve the bleeding problem of self-flowing tailings filling slurry with low concentration, the influences of the dosage of special additive on the bleeding rate were investigated. The improving mechanism of special additive on the bleeding of tailings filling slurry was studied by measuring the bleeding rate and compressive strength of the slurry. Also, microstruture analysis was co...

Intensification of livestock production makes correct estimation of methanogenesis in liquid manure increasingly important for inventories of CH4 emissions. Such inventories currently rely on fixed methane conversion factors as knowledge gaps remain with respect to detailed temperature responses of CH4 emissions from liquid manure. Here, we describe the temperature response of CH4 production in...

The present work is aimed at evaluating the effect of slurry ice as a preliminary treatment prior to frozen storage. For it, specimens of a small pelagic fatty fish species (sardine; Sardina pi...

OBJECTIVES To attain alliance between the oral hygiene practices with prevalence of tooth abrasion among urban and rural adult population of Central India. To plan dental care services in inaccessible areas and to suggest appropriate remedial measures to prevent this avertable and self-inflicted injury of teeth in this cross-sectional study. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sum of 1045 adult residents...

The influence of dietary nutrient concentration on growth performance, manure composition, and gas emission was studied in pigs in hot environmental conditions. A total of 64 intact males and 64 females [(Landrace × Large White) × Pietrain] weighing 63.1 ± 9.7 kg were divided into 2 dietary treatments: high (HD: 14.39 MJ of DE/kg and 1.11% Lys) and low (LD: 13.97 MJ of DE/kg and 1.01% Lys) in e...

The granite stone is the most widely used in the construction and granite slurry is generated through cutting and polishing of the stone. Granite slurry is waste material consisting of very fine powder and creats disposal and environmental problems in worldwide today. Disposal of granite waste leads to health hazards like respiratory and allergy problems to the people around. It also causes the...
