In turbid media such as biological tissue, multiple scattering hinders direct light focusing at depths beyond one transport mean free path. As a solution to this problem, time-reversed ultrasonically encoded (TRUE) optical focusing is proposed based on ultrasonic encoding of diffused laser light and optical time reversal. In TRUE focusing, a laser beam of long coherence length illuminates a tur...

The mode of penetration of parasitoids belonging to the genus Eretmocerus into whitefly larvae and their immature development were examined. Examination included scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy of stained and unstained whole mounts and sections. The Eretmocerus larva pierces the venter of its host shortly after hatching, and subsequently enters the host through the same hole. ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the reactive dye structure and type of penetrant in ink formulation on paper ink-jet printing. Different type of papers, which have same grammage was printed upon with three commercial reactive dyes, CI Reactive Blue 49 Ink 1, 4, CI Reactive Blue 21 Ink 2, Ink 5 and CI Reactive Blue 19 Ink 3, Ink 6, which are based on different reactive...

Introduction: Protection against harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV) is measured under Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) scale. The utilization of protective clothing is the best way to deal with the damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. The purpose of this study was to compare the ultraviolet ray protective factor of pure cotton and cotton coated with ti...

under the contemporary scenario of global climate change and increasing coastal eutrophication, baseline studies of phytoplankton diversity and distribution in relation to habitat conditions constitute the first approach to evaluate potential shifts at the base of the food webs. here we present data of phytoplankton species composition and environmental variables in winter 2006 in a temperate e...

An ink jet printing system consists of three fundamental parts: inks, printing engine, and substrates. Inks are materials creating color by selectively absorbing and scattering the visible illumination light. The printer acts as an ink distributor that governs the ink application. Finally, the substrate acts as a receiver of the inks and forms the images. Ink setting on the substrate is a compl...

temperature of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) added with surfactants on its penetration into dentinal tubules. Sixty-five extracted human permanent maxillary anterior teeth with single canals were prepared by ProTaper SX hand-operated instruments. The teeth were then sectioned perpendicular to the long axis. The crowns and apical thirds of all the teeth were removed. The remaining roots were proce...

Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) is the first commercially developed perennial grain crop in North America, with multiple environmental and economic benefits. One of major challenges for adoption this dual-use forage decline yield subsequent harvest years. Post-harvest management practices (e.g., chopping, burning, chemical, mechanical thinning) could reduce intraspecific...

The purpose of this study is to compare the marginal leakage of two aesthetic cervical restorative materials viz the newly introduced light cured nano glass ionomer cement and nano ceramic composites, and also to evaluate the effect of unfilled resin sealant coating on marginal leakage of these aesthetic restorations. Thirty freshly extracted human upper premolars were used for the study. Class...
