In order to clarify the viscoelastic properties of four commercial resins for crown and bridge, the dynamic shear modulus (G'), Knoop hardness (KHN), filler content, quantity of unreacted substance and thermal expansion were measured. The results were as follows. The G' (37 degrees C) of each material ranged from 2.61-11.1 GPa, and gradually decreased with increasing temperature. KHN (23 degree...

the complexation reactions between tl+ and pb2+ ions and crown ethers 12-crown-4(12c4), 15-crown-5 (15c5), benzo-15-crown-5 (b15c5), 18-crown-6 (18c6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (dc18c6) and aza-18-crown-6 (a18c6) were studied in 90% acetonitrile and 90% ethanol solutions at 25 °c, using an a.c. polarographic technique. the stoichiometry and stability of the complexes were determined by monitorin...

Plasticity in crown architecture, contributing to leaf arrangement within crown, is an important feature for whole plant carbon assimilation and survival. In this study, I examined the plasticity in crown architecture to light condition and developmental stage by the changes in shoot production. Rhododendron reticulatum expands crown with orthotropic growth in monopodial branching in young stag...

In this research, the development of a diesel engine thermal overload monitoring system is presented with applications and test results. The designed diesel engine thermal overload monitoring system consists of two set of sensors, i.e., a lambda sensor to measure the oxygen concentration and a fast response thermocouple to measure the temperature of the gas leaving the cylinder. A medium speed ...

The chief goal of full coronal restoration using preformed stainless steel crowns (SSC) is replication of normal crown form and function. Marginal adaptation of SSCs involves appropriate crown size selection, trimming the crown form to achieve proper length, crimping crown edges to proximate the prepared tooth, and finishing and polishing the crown form. This report about SSC restoration focuse...

The complexation reactions between Tl+ and Pb2+ ions and crown ethers 12-crown-4(12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C5), benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), 18-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) and aza-18-crown-6 (A18C6) were studied in 90% acetonitrile and 90% ethanol solutions at 25 °C, using an a.c. polarographic technique. The stoichiometry and stability of the complexes we...

Crown class, an ordinal tree-level mensuration attribute used extensively by foresters, is di#icult to ass ign in thefield because def ini t ions of individual classes are confounded by ambiguous references to the position the tree in the canopy and amount of light received by its crown. When crown class is decomposed into its two elements-crown position and crown light exposure--field assignme...

Crown roots are the main components of the fibrous root system in rice (Oryza sativa). WOX11, a WUSCHEL-related homeobox gene specifically expressed in the emerging crown root meristem, is a key regulator in crown root development. However, the nature of WOX11 function in crown root development has remained elusive. Here, we identified a rice AP2/ERF protein, ERF3, which interacts with WOX11 an...
