Studies on the antibacterial activities of the leaf extract of Citrullus colocynthis (Cucurbitaceae), a medicinal plant used for the treatment of various ailments was carried out using agar disc diffusion technique. The results revealed that the crude acetone extract exhibited antibacterial activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with zones of inhibition measuring 14.0mm. The chloroform leaf ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy in vitro of gutta-percha removal from obturated root canals using ProFiles. METHODOLOGY Forty-eight human root canals with curvatures ranging between 25 and 45 degrees were instrumented by a standardized method to an apical ISO size 30 and 0.04 taper. They were obturated with vertically condensed gutta-percha. Retreatment was performed...

Offset is a geometrical nuisance when reflectors have dip. For this reason, we develop migration methods here and in the next chapter for forming images from hypothetical zero-offset seismic experiments. Although there is usually ample data recorded near zerooffset, we never record purely zero-offset seismic data. However, when we consider offset and dip together in chapter ?? we will encounter...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were modified onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) via dip-coating technique with different nanoparticle sizes, lifting speeds, precursor concentrations, and dipping numbers. Electrodeposition-based electrochromic device with reversible three-state optical transformation (transparent, mirror, and black) was fabricated subsequently by sandwiching a suitable a...

It was successfully demonstrated at UVSOR-II that, by using an external laser source, various micro-density structures such as a femtosecond dip or periodic modulation could be created on an electron bunch circulating in a storage ring. The bunch with femtosecond dip emitted broadband coherent synchrotron radiation. That with periodic density modulation emitted coherent and monochromatic terahe...

in this work, a simple and effective way to modify the support surface is developed and a nanostructure ceramic support to facilitate deposition of a defect-free overlying micro and meso (nano) porous membrane is obtained. to achieve high performance nanocomposite membranes, average pore size of outer surface of support was reduced by dip-coating in submicron and nano α-alumina slurries. in thi...
