This study was conducted on a sample of thirty patients selected from Orthodontics department de’Montmorency College of dentistry/ Punjab dental Hospital, Lahore. The purpose of study was to evaluate treatment effects of Distal Jet Appliance during Class-II molar correction with a focus on the magnitude of Maxillary first molar distalization, its tipping, extrusion, rotation as well as anchorag...

Abstract Magnesium (Mg) alloys are the lightest metal structural material for engineering applications and therefore have a wide market of applications. However, compared to steel aluminum alloys, Mg lower mechanical properties, which greatly limits their application. Extrusion is one most important processing methods its alloys. effect such heterogeneous microstructure achieved at low temperat...

UNLABELLED Aqueous dispersion of conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) ( PEDOT PSS) was deposited on spin-coated and drop cast nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC)-glycerol (G) matrix on a glass substrate. A thin glycerol film was utilized on plasma-treated glass substrate to provide adequate adhesion for the NFC-glycerol (NFC-G) film. The effects of annealing te...

Actuators that bend slice lips are commonly used in cross-directional (CD) control systems for paper making and plastic film extrusion. A dynamic model of these actuators is developed which is used to investigate their spatial modes and dynamic responses. The model shows that both the shape and the amplitude of the spatial response depend upon the stiffness of the slice lip. The design of most ...

Curative breast radiotherapy typically leaves patients with varying degrees of cosmetic damage. One problem interfering with cosmetically acceptable breast radiotherapy is the external contour for large pendulous breasts which often results in high doses to skin folds. Thermoplastic casts are often employed to secure the breasts to maintain setup reproducibility and limit the presence of skin f...

Abstract A process chain of compound casting and co-extrusion AA7075/6060 bilayer billets is introduced to manufacture hybrid components with strength in the core good corrosion-resistance shell. Using optimized parameter, metallurgical bonding between shell AA6060 AA7075 can be achieved through remelting recrystallization substrate AA7075. The locally unequal thermal conditions at interface in...

Developing human-centered agent architectures requires the integral consideration of architectural flexibility, teamwork adaptability, and context reasoning capability. With the integration of various forms of team intelligence including shared teamwork process and progress, dynamic context management and information dependency reasoning, and recognition-primed collaborative decision mechanism,...

Pure whey protein isolate (WPI)-based cast films are very brittle due to its strong formation of protein cross-linking of disulphide bonding, hydrogen bonding as well as hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. However, this strong cross-linking is the reason for its final barrier performance. To overcome film brittleness of whey protein layers, plasticisers like glycerol are used. It reduce...
