introduction:  this  in vitro  study compared the apical sealing ability of three common root end filling materials namely mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), intermediate restorative material (irm) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement using a bacterial leakage model.  methods and materials: the study was conducted on 83 single-rooted human teeth. tooth crowns were cut and root canals were p...

background: the strong link between sealer solubility and periapical reinfection indicates that water solubility of new sealers should be studied. this study aimed to assess the water solubility of five root canal sealers (ah-26, topseal, 2-seal, acroseal, and roeko seal automix [rsa]). materials and methods: in this in vitro experimental study, 30 specimens were fabricated from each of the abo...

The nonlinear dynamic model of rotor-bearing-seal system with crack in shaft is set up based on the coupling model of nonlinear oil-film force and Muszyska’s nonlinear seal fluid force. The dynamic vibration characteristics of the rotor-bearing-seal system and the effects of physical and structural parameters of labyrinth seal and crack fault on movement character of the rotor were analyzed. Th...

AIM To evaluate retention of complete denture base with different types of posterior palatal seals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten male patients between the age group of 50 years to 60 years were selected for the study. After the primary and secondary impressions were taken, five casts were made including a cast without posterior palatal seal, a cast with single bead posterior palatal seal, a cast ...

This paper describes an efficient matching approach for automatic seal verification. Most of the conventional approaches to this problem used a ref:% @ @ (& @ erence seal impression registered as a 2D image. . L , However, it was difficult to absorb various input seal f i e seal impressions. patterns by only one reference pattern. In our previous study, one of the authors has been proposed a ne...

Reproductive boll weevil populations are typically identified by the presence of a frass seal and protuberance at the oviposition site in cotton squares. However, despite the occurrence of other oviposition puncture seal types and their use in previous fecundity studies, the relationship of these respective puncture seal types and oviposition has not been clearly examined. In this study, newly ...

Many types of noise can be present in an image. Registration becomes difficult when the concerned pattern contains a “seal noise.” In this paper, the seal noise appearing inherently in a seal image is introduced. The registration of seal images used widely in many commercial applications in Chinese society is presented. An effective approach using contour analysis for finding the principal orie...

in analyzing and explaining seal of prophethood as a doctrine, almost all scholars who have dealt with this issue considerhuman intellectual maturityas the main criterion and the secret of the emergent finality.the present article explains and analyzes the proposed approaches and perceptions regarding intellectual maturity and thus aims toreview this idea critically.as a result,the study shows ...

background: main objective of this study was to investigate the invasive activity of the liver fluke, pseudamphistomom truncatum against the caspian seal ( pusa caspica ) and was exemplified at the gross, light microscopy (lm) and electron microscopy (em) levels. methods: the study was done on a freshly dead caspian seal in the southern coast of caspian sea. the checked caspian seal probably be...
