abstract background: the emotional bond that a mother feels towards her infant is critical to their social, emotional, and cognitive development. this concept has a major influence on an infant’s future health, and growth, so the assessment of parental-fetal attachment and related factors is of great importance. this study aimed to examine the effect of psychological intervention on attachment ...

abstract statement of problem: the viscosity of orthodontics adhesive primers is crucial for stability and correct brackets ‘position during bond up. an excessive adhesive flow during brackets seating could change the brackets’ position. objectives: the main purpose of this study was to investigate the viscosity of four orthodontic adhesive primers in two different temperatures. materials and m...

density functional (dft) calculations at m05-2x/aug-cc-pvdz level were used to analyze the interactions between dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) dimers. the structures obtained have been analyzed with the atoms in molecules (aims) and natural bond orbital (nbo) methodologies. four minima were located on the potential energy surface of the dimers. three types of interactions are observed, ch•••o, ch•••...

The role of the closing lecture in a Faraday Discussion is to summarise the contributions made to the Discussion over the course of the meeting and in so doing capture the main themes that have arisen. This article is based upon my Closing Remarks Lecture at the 203rd Faraday Discussion meeting on Halogen Bonding in Supramolecular and Solid State Chemistry, held in Ottawa, Canada, on 10-12th Ju...

as it is seen, by passing the evolutionary process of banding of orthodontic attachments to the bonding ones, orthodontics have witnessed many developments, such as application of new adhesives, optimized base designs, new bracket materials, curing methods and more efficient primers. the studies often address the morphological, micro-leakage, and shear bond tests to evaluate bond efficacy. amon...

objectives : this experimental study evaluated the effect of bonding application time on the microshear bond strength of composite resin to different types of glass ionomer cements (gics). materials and methods: one-hundred and sixty specimens (two conventional and two resin-modified gics) were prepared and divided into 16 groups. the surface of all specimens was prepared using two different bo...

Two bonding models i.e cumullenic and acetylenic models have been proposed to account for thebonding patterns in linear carbon clusters while the bonding patterns in cyclic and 3D geometrieS of theseclusters have remained ambiguous.This work presents the bonding patterns in various C4 and C5 pure clusters at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level oftheory. This subject is studied in the light of modern bonding ...

mp2 calculations with cc-pvtz basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in f3cx···yli···nccn and f3cx···nccn···liy triads (x = cl, br; y = cn, nc) which are connected via halogen and lithium bonds. those complexes with the role of liy as halogen acceptor and lithium donor show cooperativity with energy values ranging between -1.97 and -2.92 kj mol-1. those complexes with simult...
