curve flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (ais) was one of the major concerns of spinal surgeons since the evolution of surgical correction techniques. in this respect, many tried to identify which criteria denote more rigid curve. in the present study, we aimed toward determining important factors influencing ais curve flexibility on supine bending films. we assessed radiographs of ...

statement of the problem nowadays in many of the dental radiography centers in iran, three types of intraoral films are being used. there is a controversy about the best film regarding to sensitivity properties. purpose in this study, we aimed to compare sensitivity characteristics and detail recording of intraoral films. material and methods in this experimental study, three types of intraoral...

Background and Objectives: Studies on packaged food by activated biopolymer starch films containing antimicrobial material is interesting field of food. Science This study investigates the effect of chitosan and rosemary essential oil on properties of starch films and peanut were packaged in them. Materials and Methods: In this study, composite films based on starch containing 0, 2, 4, 6 and...

The morphology of titanium dioxide and titanium dioxide-tungsten trioxide nanocomposite films fabricated by anodizing in a glycerol solution containing 0.13 M NH4F and different quantity of Na2WO4 was investigated as a function of sodium tungstate concentrations. The effects of sodium tungstate concentration on the surface morphology were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was c...

molybdenum thin films with 50 and 150 nm thicknesses were deposited on silicon substrates, using dc magnetron sputtering system, then post-annealed at different temperatures (200, 325, 450, 575 and 700°c) with flow oxygen at 200 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute). the crystallographic structure of the films was obtained by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. an atomic force micr...

using titanium dioxide nano-silver packaging, which is antibacterial and resistance to the diffusion of gases such as oxygen, is increasing in food industry. therefore, we compared the effect of titanium dioxide-based nano-silver packaging and conventional polyethylene packaging on the fungal flora of consuming bread in order to increase the shelf-life storage of consuming bread. one hundred fo...

the effects of nano titanium dioxide incorporation were investigated on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and antimicrobial properties of bovine gelatin films. the nano tio2 (tio2- n) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 5% w/w of dried gelatin). the permeability of the films to water vapor a...

high density polyethylene (hdpe) films were produced using cast film extrusion process with different draw ratios, ranging from 16.9 to 148.8. morphology, crystallinty and orientation state of crystalline and amorphous phases of the cast films were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (sem), differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) and polarized fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...

biological packaging material based on obtained proteins from fish waste, are biopolymers that have the capability of biodegradable film formation. thus, purpose of this research is to study and investigate some of films’ physical features made from trout fish myofibril protein. the film forming solution containing 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%(w/v)myofibril protein isolate of 100ml solution and glycerol a...
