statement of the problem: root canal therapy should not simply be the extirpation of the pulp and widening of the canal. but one should also focus on how to completely remove the loosely-attached smear layer because it has adverse effects on the final outcome of the treatment. purpose: this study compared the efficacy of etidronic acid, smearclear and mtad to remove the smear layer created duri...

In this work we study the effect of some electrical prosperities on synthetic rubber reinforced with carbon black diluted in heptanes with concentrations from 0.2% gm/mole to 2.0% gm/ mole in temperatures range (100, 150, 200, 250, 300) C associated with amount weight of black carbon 5wt% added to the diluted rubber. The results of electrical properties measurement of Buna rubber reinforced wit...

OBJECTIVE Eradication of microorganisms present in the root canal system is paramount for the successful outcome of root canal therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the of doxycycline absorbed from MTAD into root canal dentin after obturation with gutta-percha/AH26 and Resilon/RealSeal at different time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one extracted human teeth were instrume...

Abstract Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium (EDTA) can form stable complexes with many metals. To improve the leaching rate of gold and consumption thiosulfate, EDTA ammonia were combined copper ions to a copper-EDTA-ammonia-thiosulfate system. Electrochemical methods used study effect ion, EDTA, polarization voltage. The results showed that increasing concentrations ions, promoted dissol...

In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the ...

Although in-orbit anomaly detection is extremely important to ensure spacecraft safety, the complex spatial-temporal correlation and sparsity of anomalies in data pose significant challenges. This study proposes new multi-task learning-based time series (MTAD) method, which captures learn generalized normal patterns hence facilitates detection. First, four proxy tasks are implemented for featur...

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...
