Since the advent of post and core systems, dentists have regularly accepted the traditional cast and post and core as choice of treatment modality to restore a badly broken root canal treated tooth. The important question being, if at all the cast, post is indicated in every case. Other concept being that a cast post compared to a prefabricated post improves the strength of a root canal treated...

The badly decayed molar teeth of a 12-year-old were restored using resin composite and ceramic restorations. The maxillary first left permanent molar, which had an extensive carious lesion that had destroyed most of the coronal hard tissues of the tooth, was restored to shape and function with a heat-treated resin composite onlay restoration. The restoration was followed up for two years. The m...

In this study, 2024 aluminum alloy was diffusion bonded to identify the effect of bonding temperature, applied pressure, and heating time on microstructure, hardness, strength. The shear strength increased from 62.5 MPa 81.2 along with rise in temperatures 440 °C 490 °C. rose an optimal value by extending 30 min 240 at a temperature constant pressure 5 MPa. addition, various post-weld heat trea...

conclusions the best balance between detection rate of prostate cancer and infectious complications of biopsies achieved in twelve-core biopsy protocol. twelve-core biopsy enhances the rate of prostate cancer detection with minimum adverse effects. patients and materials transrectal ultrasonography (trus) guided biopsy was performed in 180 patients suspicious for prostate cancer due to either a...

The application of external post-tensioned steel bars as an effective way to strengthen an existing bridge has been so far used in many different countries. In recent decades, however, they have been replaced by bars made from Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), as a material with high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, to address several concerns with steel bars such as their appli...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Re6Se8{NCC(CH3)3}(Et3P)5](SbF6)2·NCC(CH3)3, contains a face-capped octa-hedral [Re6(μ3-Se)8](2+) cluster core. The pseudo-centrosymmetric [Re6Se8](2+) cluster core is bonded through the Re atoms to five tri-ethyl-phosphane ligands and one tri-methyl-aceto-nitrile ligand. No significant interactions are observed between the cationic cluster, the SbF6...

Energy minimization is an important step in molecular modeling, with applications in molecular docking and in mapping binding sites. Minimization involves repeated evaluation of various bonded and non-bonded energies of a protein complex. It is a computationally expensive process, with runtimes typically being many hours on a desktop system. In the current article, we present the acceleration o...

We present the first femtosecond soft x-ray spectroscopy in liquids, enabling the observation of changes in hydrogen bond structures in water via core-hole excitation. The oxygen K-edge of vibrationally excited water is probed with femtosecond soft x-ray pulses, exploiting the relation between different water structures and distinct x-ray spectral features. After excitation of the intramolecula...
