PURPOSE This study was aimed to determine the effect of two chemically distinct denture cleansers and water on the surface hardness of acrylic and silicone based soft denture liners at various time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two commonly used commercial resilient liner material were selected based on their chemical composition (silicone- and acrylic-based soft liners) for this investiga...

The reuse system proposed by the authors is an overall business system for realizing a cyclic reuse flow through the processes of design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, demolition and storage. The reuse system is one of the methods to reduce the environmental burden in the field of building steel structures. These buildings are assumed to be demolished within approximately 30 years or ...

In this research at the first Metoprolol drug and its fullerene derivative were optimized. Natural bond orbital (NBO), nuclear Indepndent chemical shift (NICS) and finally IR calculations, for these compounds were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G* quantum chemistry level. Different parameters such as energy levels, the amount of chemical shift in different atoms, the amount of HOMO/LUMO, chemical...

The N-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl derivatives are important models for studying of three-centered intramolecular hydrogen bonding in organic molecules. The quantum theoretical calculations for two crystal structures of N-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl (compounds I and II) were performed by Density Functional Theory (B3LYP method and 6-311+G* basis set). From the optimized structures, geometric paramet...

Metal sulfides are widely used in a variety of applications requiring high hardness and toughness. In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of chromium–chromium sulfide cermets are investigated. The chromium–chromium sulfide cermet was manufactured using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, a process where the material is created under a self-sustaining combustion rea...

background: the chemical quality of water used for dialysis fluid is a vital factor in the overall care received by dialysis patients. therefore, water used for this purpose should be treated with advanced methods before use for dialysis. the objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of reverse osmosis systems to improve water quality used for dialysis fluid. methods: in this descrip...

Using the Computational methods, the interaction effect  of Glutamine Amino acid on Graphene was investigated. For this purpose, the Density Functional Theory) DFT (in the ground state of 6-31G was used, and the interaction effects of Glutamine on Graphene was investigated through attachment to two different base positions. Different parameters such as energy levels, the amount of Chemical Shif...

All aquatic organisms are directly or indirectly affected by the physical characteristics of their environment, especially the chemical composition of the water. The high concentration levels, damage tissues and interfere with the normal growth and proliferation. The aim of this research was to Investigation acute toxicity of ZnSO4 and CuCl2 to Gambusia holbrooki ...

Public health is at risk from physical and chemical contaminants in the drinking water which may have immediate health consequences. The data from the current study was evaluated for groundwater quality in the rural villages of Neyshabur County in Iran. For determination of the essential physicochemical parameters, water samples were collected from 30 randomly-selected water wells during 2013 a...

The structural analysis of metabolic networks aims both at understanding the function and the evolution of metabolism. While it is commonly admitted that metabolism is modular, the identification of metabolic modules remains an open topic. Several definitions of what is a module have been proposed. We focus here on the notion of chemical organisations, i.e. sets of molecules which are closed an...
