plant cell cultures could be used as an important tool for biochemical production, ranging from natural pigments to pharmaceutical products. anthocyanin is affected by a variety of factors. light, an important plant environmental factor, influences the anthocyanin production in vegetative plant tissues. here, we have investigated the influence of the blue laser-diode (bld) and red laser-he ne (...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of dental surface treatment with er:yag , nd:yag ,co2 lasers and sodium ascorbate to recently laser bleached enamel by scanning electron microscope (sem). methods: 15caries-free extracted human third molars were selected for this study. the samples were bleached by heydent jw power activated by diode laser 810 nm. after 7 d...

In this paper, a numerical study of barrier characterization effects on the high-temperature internal performance of an InGaAsP multi-quantum well laser is presented. The softwareused for this purpose self-consistently combines the three-dimensional simulation of carrier transports, self-heating, and optical waveguiding. The laser model calculates all relevant physical mechanisms, including the...

In the present work, a high power Nd:YAG laser has been employed to weld AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel thin sheets. Optical microscopy was used to study the microstructural evolutions during laser welding. Tensile test and microhardness measurement were employed in order to investigate the mechanical behaviors of welds. Also, vibrational sample magnetometry was used for characterizing magne...

In the laser cutting process some well-known parameters, e.g. laser power and cutting speed, play major roles in the performance of the process. Each parameter or a combination of parameters can affect the material removal volume and cutting volume efficiency. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of power and maximum cutting speed on the material removal rate (MRR) and cutting vo...

Background and Aim: Preparation of tooth structure by laser systems produces a surface with different characteristics. Therefore, selecting an appropriate bonding system is necessary to achieve the maximum bond strength. The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive and Single Bond Univer-sal to dentin prepared by bur or laser. Materials and Methods: ...

Background and Aim: Bonding of zirconia to resin cement is challenging, and the zirconia surface requires surface treatment to yield an acceptable bond strength. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the bond strength of zirconia to a resin cement. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, 60 zirconia discs measuring 12 mm in diameter an...
