introduction: the efficacy of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser for root debridement in comparison with curettes has been the subject of many recent investigations. considering the possibility of chemical and ultra-structural changes in root surfaces following laser irradiation, this study sought to assess the effects of scaling and root planing (srp) with curettes and er:yag ...

BACKGROUND Autoclave sterilization and microwave sterilization has been suggested as the effective methods for the disinfection of elastomeric impressions, but subjecting elastomeric impressions to extreme temperature may have adverse effects on critical properties of the elastomers. AIM To evaluate the effect of chemical disinfection as well as autoclave and microwave sterilization on the su...

We present an error analysis for a general semilinear stochastic evolution equation in d dimensions based on pathwise approximation. We discretize in space by a Fourier Galerkin method and in time by a stochastic exponential integrator. We show that for spatially regular (smooth) noise the number of nodes needed for the noise can be reduced and that the rate of convergence degrades as the regul...

The development of an economic model predictive control (E-MPC) strategy is presented. uses a novel dynamic flotation that incorporates the physics froth phase in cell. was previously calibrated and validated using experimental data. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to select suitable objective function accounted for both process economics variable sensitivities. While ultimate goal rougher ...

The new copper processing plant of the Sarcheshmeh copper complex consists of two parallel circuits. After a primary crushing, the ore is sent to a SAG mill, and the product is further ground in a ball mill. The overflow of the hydrocyclones is fed to a flotation circuit that contains 8 rougher tank cells (RCS130), 3 cleaner cells (RCS50), 5 scavenger cells (RCS50), and a flotation column (as r...
