This study compared the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of three all-in-one adhesive systems and a two-step system using two types of burs to prepare the dentin surfaces. Flat coronal surfaces of 24 extracted human molars were produced using either regular-grit or superfine-grit diamond burs. Resin composite was then bonded to equal numbers of these surfaces using one of the four adhesives: C...

The analysis of grease-lubricaled rolling element bearings i s presented. Exferimen tally determined flow curaes for grease are found to be well correlated by the Herschel-Bdkley model flow eqzration. A theory for predicting roller Jilm thickness based on the assumed flow model i s derived. Experimental results show that grease will deveIop a larger film lhickness lhan the grease base oil at ji...

In this paper, film thickness and pressure distribution of EHL in line contacts for four kinds of greases and one type of oil are calculated under a series of rolling velocities by wing an inverse solution method. The Herschel-Bulkley model is wed for the rheological characteristics of the grease. Based on the theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, the following influences on film thic...

results the results showed that the fog amount in input raw sewage in the mwwtp from june 2011 to september 2011 was around 25.5 mg/l and the amount in treated wastewater was about 8.1 mg/l. the fog removal efficiency in this refinery was about 70% and met the environmental standards for the discharge (less than 10 mg/l) (p < 0.05). conclusions the effluent can be discharged to surface waters o...

Colour preferences from sexual or social contexts are assumed to have arisen owing to preferences for specific kinds of food, representing a sensory bias, but once colour preferences have evolved in a sexual context, they may also be expressed during foraging. We tested whether preferences for specific body colours (i.e. plumage and soft parts) were related to colour preferences for grit ingest...

Grit has been presented as a higher order personality trait that is highly predictive of both success and performance and distinct from other traits such as conscientiousness. This paper provides a meta-analytic review of the grit literature with a particular focus on the structure of grit and the relation between grit and performance, retention, conscientiousness, cognitive ability, and demogr...

An experimental investigation has been carried out to document and relate the frictional resistance and roughness texture of painted surfaces smoothed by sanding. Hydrodynamic tests were carried out in a towing tank using a flat plate test fixture towed at a Reynolds number ~ReL ! range of 2.8310 25.5310 based on the plate length and freestream velocity. Results indicate an increase in friction...

In the robotic belt grinding process, elastic contact condition between flexible tool and workpiece is a critical issue which extremely influences surface quality of manufactured part. The existing analysis removal mechanism based on statistic but ignoring dynamic phenomenon. this paper, we discussed pressure distribution caused by non-unique depth in process. Based single grit, obtained topolo...

Experimental and theoretical models are used to explore the break of a moraine dam by catastrophic erosional incision initiated by overtopping with a displacement wave. The experiments are conducted in a rectangular tank with an erodible barrier made from sand and grit. Theory combines shallow-water hydrodynamics with an empirical model of erosion. The models confirm that dams can be broken by ...
