Objective: To investigate the influence of intraradicular moisture conditions on bond strength 3 different endodontic cements in coronal, middle, and apical thirds root canal. Materials Methods: 90 single-rooted teeth were instrumented with a reciprocal R#50 file randomly divided into experimental groups: Dry group: dry canals absorbent paper tips; Moist suction syringe capillary tip coupled to...

Aims: The aim of this manuscript is to present innovative applications of the BTK model that can potentially contribute additional aspects of safety evaluations for a broader range of products and materials intended for prolonged skin contact. Study Design and Methodology: The basic BTK protocol is one 6-h exposure per day for 4 days. Modification to the basic protocol were made for individual ...

Moisture in building structures influences physical properties of materials and can cause their degradation. Apart from several exceptions, building materials are hardly ever dry. They always contain some moisture occurring in the solid, liquid or gaseous state. Moisture is a very variable quality with different effects on thermal and technical properties [4]. To express an anticipated negative...

To accelerate healing of severe hemorrhagic wounds, a novel highly absorbent hemostatic dressing composed of a Tencel®/absorbent-cotton/polylactic acid nonwoven base and chitosan/nanosilver antibacterial agent was fabricated by using a nonwoven processing technique and a freeze-drying technique. This study is the first to investigate the wicking and water-absorbing properties of a nonwoven base...

In the present study, we compare a new carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent, Yabashi lime(®) with a conventional CO2 absorbent, Sodasorb(®) as a control CO2 absorbent for Compound A (CA) and Carbon monoxide (CO) productions. Four dogs were anesthetized with sevoflurane. Each dog was anesthetized with four preparations, Yabashi lime(®) with high or low-flow rate of oxygen and control CO2 absorbent wit...

BACKGROUND: Nutrient management plays an important role for obtaining satisfactory yields and to increase crop productivity. Also keep soil moisture under drought stress is an important factor to produce economical production, so super absorbent polymer has great role to achieve mentioned goal. OBJECTIVES: Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ...
