The long-term success of root canal treatment requires the prevention bacterial leakage between walls and obturation. In this study, we compared Enterococcus faecalis in thirty single-rooted mandibular premolars divided into three groups. roots two experimental groups were obturated using a single-cone obturation technique with different bio-ceramic sealers (MTA Fillapex CeraSeal) while convent...

A-kinase (or PKA)-anchoring protein AKAP95 is a zinc-finger protein implicated in mitotic chromosome condensation by acting as a targeting molecule for the condensin complex. We have identified determinants of chromatin-binding, condensin-targeting and chromosome-condensation activities of AKAP95. Binding of AKAP95 to chromatin is conferred by residues 387-450 and requires zinc finger ZF1. Resi...

Metastable triplet helium is an interesting atom, next to the alkalis and atomic hydrogen, to pursue Bose–Einstein condensation. In this paper an overview of the relevant physics of triplet helium and experimental progress in Amsterdam towards reaching Bose– Einstein condensation is described.  2001 Académie des sciences/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS cold atoms / metastable ...

Water vapor condensation is commonly observed in nature and routinely used as an effective means of transferring heat with dropwise condensation on nonwetting surfaces exhibiting heat transfer improvement compared to filmwise condensation on wetting surfaces. However, state-of-the-art techniques to promote dropwise condensation rely on functional hydrophobic coatings that either have challenges...

The friction behavior of rough polycrystalline diamond (PCD) surfaces is important in many applications and devices that are required to operate various harsh environments it can be argued a thorough understanding the essential application performance. However, interplay between electrochemical corrosion, capillary adhesion PCD multi-asperity contacts still poorly understood. In this work, we q...
