OBJECTIVES This in vitro study evaluated the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of a methacrylate-based compared to a silorane-based resin composite in Class I cavity using different placement techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Class I cavities with dimension of (4 mm long, 4 mm wide, 3 mm deep) were prepared in extracted sound human molars. The teeth were randomly divided into six groups. The ...

the aims of this study were about determining of amount of accuracy in tractor-moldboard plow system for tillage operation on paddies and also survey on efficacy of decision support software application on amount of energy use. for this purpose, decision support software was developed by visual basic 6.0. for survey in amount of efficacy of applying the decision support system on paddies tillag...

The study aims to substantiate the design scheme of a linear plow with disk angle. authors have developed for smooth, furrowless plowing. proposed has disc lugs, screw housings, and guide plates. technological turnover polygonal layers formed by pre-plates, mutual arrangement housings plates, general view laboratory-field installation conducting experiments are given. During experiments, degree...

The article presents the effect of using a tillage tool with skimmers, second stage and bodies (double-deck plow) on reduction traction resistance energy consumption by at least 1.1 kN, i.e., 3.3%. In addition, statistical characteristics plowing depth width longitudinal profile field are stabilized. use agricultural machinery secondary or ensures even distribution fluctuations. plow without sk...

A GLEAMS (ver. 2.10) model was calibrated and validated using three years (1990–1992) of field–measured data to simulate tillage effects on nitrate–nitrogen (NO3–N) and herbicide losses with subsurface drain “tile” water beneath a continuous corn production system. The model was calibrated for chisel plow systems using 1991 field data and was validated against field data of two years (1990 and ...

Soil erosion from agricultural lands can be reduced by adoption of conservation management practices. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effectiveness and cost-benefit of conservation management practices on sediment reduction under a corn–soybean rotation. The experimental site was 6.4 ha (15.8 ac) and located within the Four Mile Creek watershed in eastern Iowa. Management p...
