this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of combined microwave-ultrasonic pasteurization system on escherichia coli and vitamin c content in sour cherry juice (scj). based on the findings, microwave output power, ultrasound power, and ultrasonic exposure time as well as the microwave-induced temperature were the most effective factors in reducing e. coli and vitamin c content. in addition,...

Using numerical simulations, we investigated the responses of the π-phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings (πFBGs) impinged by pressure ultrasonic waves. The effect of the grating length, grating refractive index modification depth, and ultrasonic frequency on the wavelength sensitivity and intensity sensitivity of the πFBG ultrasonic sensor for ultrasonic waves of different wavelengths was analyze...

The traditional ultrasonic apparatus cannot be operated at high temperature, explaining why the effect of ultrasonic-vibration on high temperature metal forming has seldom been addressed in literature. This study establishes an ultrasonic-vibration hot upsetting system. A cooling mechanism is used to solve the problem of high temperature. The effects of temperature and strain rate during ultras...

in this work we deal with the question: how can one improve the approximation level for some nonlinear integral equations? good candidates for this aim are semi orthogonal b-spline scaling functions and their duals. although there are different works in this area, only b-spline of degree at most 2 are used for this approximation. here we compute b-spline scaling functions of degree 4 and their ...

introduction: the aim of this experimental laboratory study was to evaluate the effect of different mixing and placement techniques on compressive strength (cs) of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. methods and materials: cem powder was mixed with its liquid either by hand mixing or amalgamator mixing. the mixture was loaded to cylindrical acrylic molds with 6.0±0.1 mm height and 4.0±1 mm d...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different periodontal therapies on the integrity of indirect restorations by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Sixty single-rooted bovine teeth were selected and randomly assigned to 12 groups. Inlay cavities were prepared in the cervical region on the center of the cementoenamel junction, and were restored with laboratory processed resin...

INTRODUCTION Effective irrigant delivery and agitation are prerequisites for successful endodontic treatment. Ultrasonic irrigation can be performed with or without simultaneous ultrasonic instrumentation. Existing literature reveals that ultrasonic irrigation may have a very positive effect on chemical, biological and physical debridement of the root canal system as investigated in many in vit...
