Optimization and control of the pulp and paper making processes for cost-effective production requires more frequent monitoring of the relevant pulp and stock preparation quality parameters. A new quality monitoring system for pulping and stock preparation is developed. The new online L&W Pulp Tester is a complete wet laboratory with automatic sampling from different positions along the process...

The addition of aluminum nitrate (up to 100 ppm A1 on pulp) to a two-stage, acidalkali, hydrogen peroxide bleach of Eucalyptus regnans stone groundwood pulp enhanced the brightness gain of the pulp, over a range of consistencies. It is proposed that the presence of aluminum ions modifies the catalytic behaviour of the transition metal ions present in the pulp, especially manganese, reducing per...

vitality of dental pulp is essential for long-term tooth survival. the aim of vital pulp therapy is to maintain healthy pulp tissue by eliminating bacteria from the dentin-pulp complex. there are several different treatment options for vital pulp therapy in extensively decayed or traumatized teeth. pulp capping or pulpotomy procedures rely upon an accurate assessment of the pulp status, and car...

This study was carried out on olive trees cv. Amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, KnO3, and zinc sulfate, ZnSo4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. The plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% KnO3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% ZnSO4 and their combinations in August about halfway through the fruit growth period. The highest fruit weight was observe...

BACKGROUND Precise assessment of dental pulp anatomy is of an extreme importance for a successful endodontic treatment. As standard radiographs of teeth provide very limited information on dental pulp anatomy, more capable methods are highly appreciated. One of these is 3D magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy of which diagnostic capabilities in terms of a better dental pulp anatomy assessment wer...

Aim. To estimate the prevalence of coronal pulp stones in the molar teeth of dental outpatients of Sunam, Sangrur district, Punjab, India, to report any association between occurrence of pulp stones with age, gender, dental arch, side, and dental status and to find out correlation between pulp stones with dental and systemic diseases. Materials and Methods. 500 routine dental outpatients within...

BACKGROUND. Accurate determination of the pulp status is the most important part of conservative pulp therapy. AIM. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of thermal and electrical pulp tests to assess the pulp status in primary teeth. DESIGN. Seventy-eight primary molar teeth in 36 children were investigated. Fifty-six teeth had unknown pulp status in need of endodontic treatment, and...

Abstract Persistent pain can occur after routine dental treatments in which the dental pulp is injured. To better understand pain chronicity after pulp injury, we assessed whether dental pulp injury in mice causes changes to the sensory nervous system associated with pathological pain. In some experiments, we compared findings after dental pulp injury to a model of orofacial neuropathic pain, i...
