background and aims. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of one-step self-etch adhesives on enterococcus faecalis on days 1, 7 and 14 with the use of modified direct contact test. materials and methods. the modified direct contact test was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of adper easy one, bond force, clearfil s3 bond, futurabond m, g-bond, ibond and optib...

Figure 1: Laser wavelength dynamics The effect of self-induced laser line sweeping (or self-sweeping) was discovered in ruby laser in 1962 [1]. It was considered as an undesirable effect due to a small sweeping range. In fiber lasers the effect with broad sweeping range (more than 10 nm) was observed almost 50 years later [2]. The self-sweeping effect is caused by the formation of dynamical pha...

The present work demonstrates the synthesis and application of permanent magnetic Nd2Fe14B microparticle (NMP)-loaded graphitic inks for realizing rapidly self-healing inexpensive printed electrochemical devices. The incorporation of NMPs into the printable ink imparts impressive self-healing ability to the printed conducting trace, with rapid (~50 ms) recovery of repeated large (3 mm) damages ...

The (2k + 2)-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills equations for gauge group SO(2k) (or SU(2) for k = 2 and SU(3) for k = 3) are shown to admit a family of spherically-symmetric magnetic monopole solutions characterized by a mass m and a magnetic-type charge, the k = 1 case being the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. The k = 2 case yields a family of self-gravitating Yang monopoles, and for k = 4 we fin...
