OBJECTIVES We retrospectively evaluated the impact of mandibular third molars on the occurrence of angle and condyle fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective investigation using patient records and radiographs. The sample set consisted of 440 patients with mandibular fractures. Eruption space, depth and angulation of the third molar were measured. RESULTS Of the 144 angle f...

cadmium sulphide (cds) nanoparticles were prepared using microemulsion method using cadmium chloride as cadmium source and sodium sulphide as sulphur source. the obtained nanoparticles structures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem) whereas optical characterization was done by ultra violet-visible absorption. xrd result shows that cds nanopart...

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improve...

Engkabang Fat Esters are produced from the alcoholysis reaction of oleyl alcohol and its fat using enzyme as biocatalyst. The work has been previously carried out mainly on the optimization of Engkabang Fat esters production in organic solvents. However, the effect of impeller speed-substrate molar ratio has yet to be discussed in detail. In the present paper, the influences of impeller speed a...

Glycans exhibit enormous structural diversity in nature and are of particular importance for self-cell survival and are often targeted by microbes. In this study, N-glycans (374.9 pmol/mg in dry delipidated weight) were enzymatically released from bovine milk whey protein concentrate, and they were isolated and analyzed by a two-dimensional HPLC mapping technique and/or by MALDI-TOF mass spectr...

The influence of calcium to phosphate (Ca/P) molar ratio on the extent of mineralization in a model (poly)acrylamide gel was investigated under simulated physiological conditions. We hypothesized that the optimal growth of hydroxyapatite crystals will take place at the stoichiometric Ca/P molar ratio of 1.67. Phosphate ions were incorporated during the polymerization of the gel and mineralizati...

In this research, the effects of important parameters, including the molar ratio of acetic acid to sulfur(S) , sonication time, temperature, and hydrogen the molar ratio of peroxide to sulfur on the performance of ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization were studied using the response surface method (RSM). To this end, a model fuel containing n-decane and dibenzothiophene at a concentrati...
