The hydration of controlled tricalcium and dicalcium silicate mixtures was investigated using inelastic neutron scattering. The amount of Ca(OH)2 produced by each mixture was quantified based on the vibrational mode at approximately 41 meV. The results of compressive strength testing correlate with the amount of Ca(OH)2 produced and with previous results from quasielastic neutron scattering. Th...

in this work firstly fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a sono-chemical method. at the second step magnesium hydroxide shell was synthesized on the magnetite-core under ultrasonic waves. for preparation fe3o4-mgo the product was calcinated at 400 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform ...

Microorganisms play a major role in the initiation and perpetuation of pulpal and periapical disease. In order to predictably achieve a bacteria-free root canal system, it is necessary to use intracanal medicaments. Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)(2)] is the most common intracanal medicaments. It is effective against primary infections. However, its effectiveness against Enterococcus (E.) faecalis an...

The effect of chemical pretreatments using NaOH, H2O2, and Ca(OH)2 on Empty Palm Fruit Bunches (EPFB) to degrade EPFB lignin before pyrolyis was investigated. Spectrophotometer analysis proved consecutive addition of NaOH and H2O2 decomposed almost 100% of EPFB lignin compared to 44% for the Ca(OH)2, H2O2 system while NaOH and Ca(OH)2 used exclusively could not alter lignin much. Next, the pret...

Introduction: To investigate Ca(OH)2 extrusion from the apical foramen in relation to the placement mode. Methods: 200 teeth, prepared with ProTaper files with and without apical patency, were divided in Groups A and B respectively, and filled with Ca(OH)2 at 1 and 3 mm short of working length, using K-files manually and with mechanical spiral techniques (Pastinject/Lentulo) at 500 and 700rpm. ...

Al2 (SO4)3, 18H2O, FeCl3 and Ca (OH)2 were used for the treatment of tannery wastewaters. The influences of pH and coagulant dosages were studied. Conditions were optimised according to the pollutant removal efficiencies, the volume of decanted sludge and the biodegradability index improvement. The results indicate that 6771% of total COD, 76-92% of color and 79-97% of Cr can be removed using t...

RATIONALE Dihydropyridines are widely used for the treatment of several cardiac diseases due to their blocking activity on L-type Ca(2+) channels and their renowned antioxidant properties. METHODS We synthesized six novel dihydropyridine molecules and performed docking studies on the binding site of the L-type Ca(2+) channel. We used biochemical techniques on isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes...

The corrosion of steel reinforcement is the most significant factor responsible for premature deterioration durability and seismic resistance reinforced concrete structures. As such, main objective present study investigation effect fly ash (FA) as a inhibitor pH on electrochemical behavior 316L 304L in simulating pore solution exposed to aggressive environments, i.e., acid rain. performance st...

BACKGROUND Calcium (Ca(2+)) and vitamin D (VitD) play an important role in child health. We evaluated the daily intake of Ca(2+) and VitD in healthy children. Moreover, we demonstrate the efficacy of Ca(2+) and VitD supplementation. METHODS Daily Ca(2+) and VitD intake was evaluated in consecutive healthy children through a validated questionnaire. Subjects with <70% of dietary reference inta...

In this study, we characterized the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH D3) and manipulated dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) on the performance, urine pH, serum constituents, carcass traits, tissue residual vitamin D and its metabolites, beef tenderness, and mRNA and protein concentrations of Ca-dependent proteinases in LM using 24 cull native Korean cows. The cows were divided into 3 ...
