AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different sodium fuoride (NaF) concentrations and pH values on the Knoop hardness (KHN), surface roughness (SR), and morphology of bovine incisors bleached with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-five bovine incisors were fragmented (5 mm(2) × 2 mm) and distributed in 5 groups: Control (unbleached), Low NaF...

study of groundwater quality trend in any region is very important from the view of scheduling and sustainable water resources management. in the present study trend analysis conducted on groundwater quality based on information of 32 piezometeric stations located in the ardabil plain from 1993 to 2008 using the non-parametric spearman test. hydrogeochemical variables studied here are total ani...

Organisms in aquatic environments are exposed to a number of pollutants such as pharmaceutical residues. As such, the aim of the present study is to achieve the Lethal Concentration (LC50) of Povidone-iodine (Betadine) for Cyprinus carpio. To do so, the study employs samples, weighing 4±1 [mean±SD] gr, and carries out an experiment in static condition. Based on OECD instructions, after a period...

The present work aims at developing mucoahesive tablets of ondansetron hydrochloride using bioadhesive polymers like carbopol-934, sodium alginate and gelatin. Tablets prepared by direct compression using different polymer with varying ratio were evaluated for hardness, friability, uniformity of weight, disintegration time, microenvironmental pH, bioadhesion and in vitro release. Hardness, fria...

Textile effluent is one of the known sources of pollution, which usually contain several chemicals, which contaminate the receiving water. This study was conducted to understand the ability of Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas sp., on decolourization and normalization of other physicochemical parameters, such as odour, temperature, pH, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, t...
