This study tested the impact of different adhesives and resin composite cements on shear bond strength (SBS) to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)- and composite-based CAD/CAM materials. SBS specimens were fabricated and divided into five main groups (n=30/group) subject to conditioning: 1. Monobond Plus/Heliobond (MH), 2. Visio.link (VL), 3. Ambarino P60 (AM), 4. exp. VP connect (VP), and 5. no co...

Composites of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO) and nanocrystalline tin sulfides were synthesized, and their performance as lithium ion battery anodes was evaluated. Following the first cycle the composite consisted of Li2S/LixSn/NRGO. The conductive NRGO cushions the stress associated with the expansion of lithiation of Sn, and the noncycling Li2S increases the residual Coulombic ca...

Composite lymphoma is an extremely rare clinical entity and is characterized by the presence of two different subtypes of lymphoma in the same lymph node. We report a case of composite lymphoma in a 57-year-old male presenting with leg and groin pain. The right inguinal lymph node biopsy showed large and small cells. Immunohistochemistry was consistent with large cells staining for diffuse larg...

An attempt towards the realization of magnetism in polymers has been made by inducing transition metal oxide particles into the polymer matrix. Composite of Polyaniline and ferric oxide (50% by weight) was prepared by solid state reaction method. Composite was subjected to X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Vibrating sample magnetometry in order to investigate its structural, optica...

In this study, efficacy of two hernia mesh implants viz. conventional Prolene and a novel Prolene-Vicryl composite mesh was assessed for experimental ventral hernia repair in dogs. Twelve healthy mongrel dogs were selected and randomly divided into three groups, A, Band C (n=4). In all groups, an experimental laparotomy was performed; thereafter, the posterior rectus sheath and peritoneum were ...

Composite lymphomas are defined as two unrelated, morphologically and genetically distinct lymphomas occurring at the same point in time within the same tissue or organ. Since their original definition, several composite lymphomas have been reported exclusively based on morphological grounds. However, with the application of immunohistological and molecular biological techniques it has become e...

The boson-fermion atomic bound states (composite fermion) and their roles for the phase structures are studied in a bose-fermi mixed condensate of atomic gas in finite temperature and density. The two-body scattering equation is formulated for a bosonfermion pair in the mixed condensate with the Yamaguchi-type potential. By solving the equation, we evaluate the binding energy of a composite fer...

A novel composite matrix polymethacrylic acid-grafted Chitosan/Bentonite (PMAA-g-CS/B) was prepared through graft copolymerization reaction of methacrylic acid and chitosan in the presence of bentonite and N,N’methylene-bisacrylamide as cross linker. The composite was well characterized using FTIR, XPS, SEM, TG/DTG, surface area analyzer and potentiometric titrations. The adsorption behavior of...

Analysis of the laminated composite plates under transverse loading is considered using the new method of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines(NURBS)are used as shape functions for modeling the geometry of the structure and also are used as shape functions in the analysis process. To show robustness of the new technique, some examples are represented and are compared with...

The Miller-Rabin pseudo primality test is widely used in cryptographic libraries, because of its apparent simplicity. But the test is not always correctly implemented. For example the pseudo primality test in GNU Crypto 1.1.0 uses a fixed set of bases. This paper shows how this flaw can be exploited to break the SRP implementation in GNU Crypto. The attack is demonstrated by explicitly construc...
