Materials and methods: A total of 68 molar bands were tried-in mouth of 17 patients. After try-in, 60 bands were cleaned in ultrasonic cleaning bath and then were equally divided into two groups (n = 30). Bands from group 1 were autoclaved in benchtop autoclave. Bands from group 2 were sterilized in glass bead sterilizer. After sterilization, the bands from both the groups were incubated in 50 ...

Methods A phantom was built consisting of a single walled chamber with similar axial dimensions to a rat left ventricle. The phantom wall is made from polyvinyl alcohol cryogel (PVAC). The phantom is housed in a sealed polypropylene tube in a water bath. An inlet/outlet hose is used to drive expansion of the phantom, a second outlet allows space for this expansion. The phantom is expanded by a ...

This work describes the development of a new 3D ultrasonic imaging method that combines different beamforming techniques (Phased Array -PAand Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique -SAFT-). The proposed methodology uses a silicone mask along the x-axis to produce a wide beam in the array width direction (y-axis). Then, a coherent-spatial composition of several phased array B-scan images is imple...

Osteoporosis is a worldwide disease depicted by the reduced bone mass, an adequate supply of minerals needed to support remodeling, and their deficiency causes bone-related diseases, osteoporosis in particular, has osteoprotective effects. The aim this recent research was quantify micro- (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) macroelements (Mg, K, Ca) peel powder some common fruits (pomegranate, orange, lemon, mango...

Four Dutch adults (twomen andtwowomen, age range 28-40) presented with vomiting and sweating. Two had suffered generalised' convulsions before admission. Symptoms appeared within two hours after they had eaten soup made from a wild plant that they believed to be celery. On admission none of the four had abnormal neurological signs apart from dilated pupils. All survived, requiring only supporti...

Increasing environmental awareness has led to a growing interest in natural dyes the textile dyeing industry as consumers become more aware of toxicity synthetic that are harmful environment and health. Although environmentally friendly compared dyes, general their performance is less than dyes. Typically, metallic mordants used enhance affinity materials, perhaps this process breaks journey gr...

Abstract Morphological, anatomical and ultrastructural characteristics are important for taxonomical phylogenetic studies of fungi. For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), usually only dry voucher specimens available. dried plant material, Aerosol® OT (AOT) has been shown to be a suitable rehydration agent SEM preparation. swelling stabilization fungal cells, however, this simple method does no...
