Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate sealing ability of five different root end filling materials by dye penetration method. Materials and Methods: About 100 extracted maxillary central incisors were sectioned at Cementoenamel junction. Access cavities were prepared, instrumented chemo-mechanically, and obturated with laterally condensed gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. Access cavities ...

We prove that many features of Thurston’s Dehn surgery theory for hyperbolic 3manifolds generalize to Einstein metrics in any dimension. In particular, this gives large, infinite families of new Einstein metrics on compact manifolds.

BACKGROUND The ICG filling is supposed to be faster than Fluorescein filling. Interestingly the filling characteristics of these dyes were never correlated directly using precise quantitative methods. Since ICG and Fluorescein are injected as a mixture, the simultaneous 2-channel angiography provides a suitable method to correlate the filling characteristics of the dyes. MATERIAL AND METHODS ...

Transportation of oil and petroleum products is a priority for the development country's economy, therefore, fuel-filling equipment that allows to increase safety operator who controls this equipment, as well driver tank car works on – opens (closes) filling hatches, also manually orients pipe lowering (lifting) its in hatch opening tanker truck, an important task. The article offers descriptio...

Three-dimensional (3D) video involves stereoscopic or multi-view images to provide depth experience through 3D display systems. Binocular cues are perceived by rendering proper viewpoint images obtained at slightly different view angles. Since the number of viewpoints of the multi-view video is limited, 3D display devices should generate arbitrary viewpoint images using available adjacent view ...

The effect of a surface open to air on the ensiling process was investigated in 15 × 60 cm PVC silos in four trials, three with alfalfa (30, 41, and 49% dry matter, DM) and one with whole-plant corn (35% DM). Silos were sampled 1, 2, 5, 7, 14, and 28 d post-filling at 5, 20, 35, and 50 cm from the open surface. At 5 cm, little fermentation occurred as oxygen contents were at 10% or higher, and ...

The existing method of creating a stereoscopy image creates left viewpoint and right viewpoint images by shooting one object with two lenses at a certain distance. However, in the case of 3-D TV transmission using a stereoscopy camera, both the left viewpoint and right viewpoint images need to be transmitted simultaneously, which places a large burden on the bandwidth. Various and more effectiv...

PURPOSE Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) is a tooth displacement which is derived from imbalance of tooth retention force and is dominantly found out in maxillary anterior area. PTM in maxillary anterior area was tried to corrected with periodontal treatment and a clear aligner in this study and the result was evaluated clinically and radiographically. METHODS For the treatment of a patient w...

We present in situ firn temperatures from the extreme 2012 melt season in the southwestern lower accumulation area of the Greenland ice sheet. The upper 2.5 m of snow and firn was temperate during the melt season, when vertical meltwater percolation was inefficient due to a 5.5 m thick ice layer underlying the temperate firn. Meltwater percolation and refreezing beneath 2.5 m depth only occurre...
