Elastic modulus is a very important physical aspect for biomaterials which impartial to various replacements as artificially hip joints, bone plate, and gum implants since it measures the material’s resistance be deformed elastically. This because “stress shielding effect” will result in re absorption of natural implant loosening if great difference elastic exists between biomaterial human bone...

field experiments were conducted on an existing subsurface drainage system in roodasht region of esfahan, ian, to test the performance of drain spacing equations for transient flow. the water table profiles recorded from a series of observation wells indicated an essentially flat water surface. the effective hydraulic conductivity and the degree of anisotropy were calculated as 19.2 cm h-1 and ...

This paper describes the orthodontic treatment, and the biomechanics of cantilevers for the impaction of permanent teeth in youngs, adolescents, and adults. In these case series, multibracket straightwire fixed appliances, together with cantilever mechanics, were used to treat the impaired occlusion.

Polymer composites have attracted considerable attention as potential light weight and cost-effective shielding materials which could be used for applications in nuclear reactors, waste transportation, protective cloth/apron personnel hospitals, instruments on-board satellites from space radiations. In this context, we developed diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin loaded w...

Lateral bays of the lower Columbia River estuary are areas of enhanced water retention that influence net ecosystem metabolism through activities of their diverse microbial communities. Metagenomic characterization of sediment microbiota from three disparate sites in two brackish lateral bays (Baker and Youngs) produced ∼100 Gbp of DNA sequence data analyzed subsequently for predicted SSU rRNA ...
