The optimum concentration and application time for an experimental dentin primer composed of an aqueous solution of 1,6-hexanediol were determined by measuring the wall-to-wall polymerization contraction gap width of a commercial light-activated resin composite in a cylindrical dentin cavity prepared in an extracted human molar. Contraction gap formation was completely prevented only when the d...

BACKGROUND Peridural fibrosis (PF) is a normal complication after lumbar surgery. It is a challenge for both surgeons and patients. Rapamycin (RPM), a novel antibiotic with anti-proliferative and immunosuppressive properties, has been shown to be effective in preventing uncontrolled scar proliferation diseases. The object of the present research was to investigate the effects of RPM on inhibiti...

The microstructure and mechanical properties of materials saturate to steady states after severe plastic deformation (SPD). Despite the well-known effect temperature on steady-state microstructure, there is no general agreement significance strain rate applicability Zener-Hollomon parameter in this regard. In study, several pure metals (aluminum, copper, titanium, iron) a Cu–30Zn (wt%) brass al...

A dissolution test for telithromycin tablets was validated and developed. In order to choose the most discriminatory one, the conditions to carry out are 900 mL of sodium phosphate buffer at pH 7.5, paddles at 50 rpm stirring speed, time test set to 60 min and using USP apparatus 2 with paddles. The UV spectrophotometric method for determination of telithromycin released was developed and valid...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the integration of motor function and spasticity assessment of individuals with spinal cord injury into cycling therapy. METHODS Twenty-three participants with incomplete spinal cord injury performed 18 training sessions (standard deviation (SD) 14) on an instrumented tricycle combined with functional electrical stimulation. Each therapy ses...

spherical polyhedron S = (V, F ;E): For a 2-connected planar graph GS = (V,ES), drawn without self-intersection on a sphere (or in the plane), we record the vertices as V and the regions as faces F , and rewrite the directed edges E as ordered 4-tuples e = 〈h, i; j, k〉, where the edge from vertex h to vertex i has face j on the right and face k on the left. (The reversed edge −e = 〈i, h; k, j〉 ...

Family Planning Perspectives effects of family planning programs on rates of births and abortions; and incentives for out-of-wedlock childbearing attributed to the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. These questions reflect more general but perhaps less widely publicized issues that are well suited to economic analysis, such as the cost and accessibility of reproductive heal...
