This study examined the effect of 10% and 16% carbamide peroxide bleaching agents on the surface microhardness of micro-particulate feldspathic ceramics (VM7 and VM13, Vita Zahnfabrik). Forty specimens (8-mm diameter, 2-mm thickness) were divided into four groups (n=10): GI-VM7 + 10% Whiteness, G2-VM7 + 16% Whiteness, G3-VM13 + 10% and G4-VM13 + 16% Whiteness. The home-use bleaching agents were...

Aim. In periodontology lasers have been suggested for the photodynamic therapy (PDT): such therapy can be defined as the inactivation of cells, microorganisms, or molecules induced by light and not by heat. The aim of this study was to evaluate results of PDT using a 980 nm diode laser (Wiser Doctor Smile, Lambda SPA, Italy) combined with hydrogen peroxide, comparing a pulsed diode laser (LI) a...

Gaseous species produced via the HO2 reaction pathways of isoprene photo-oxidation were reacted with liquid, partially neutralized sulfate aerosol particles at 293 ± 1 K and <5% relative humidity. Isoprene-derived epoxydiols (IEPOX) were taken up for all neutralizations so long as the liquid phase was maintained. By comparison, isoprene-derived hydroperoxides (ISOPOOH) were taken up only for lo...

Recent studies have indicated that peroxidase might function in the biological synthesis of thyroxine by the thyroid gland. Johnson and Tewkesbury (1) believed that thyroxine might be formed by the oxidative coupling of 2 molecules of diiodotyrosine. Westerfeld and Lowe (2) studied the oxidative condensation of p-cresol by hydrogen peroxide and peroxidase and suggested that peroxidase might be ...

Objective: To determine the stigma receptivity and pollen viability in order to make manual crosses obtain viable progeny castor bean (Ricinus communis L.).Design/Methodology/Approach: Pollen tests were made on breeding materials by staining with acetocarmine solution. In elite materials, of was evaluated hydrogen peroxide. From inflorescences, male ones removed female preserved, which covered ...

[reaction: see text] Putative enantioenriched carbenoid species, (R)-1-chloro-2-phenylethylmagnesium chloride (9) and (S)-1-chloro-2-phenylethyllithium (26), generated in situ by sulfoxide ligand exchange from (-)-(R(S),R)-1-chloro-2-phenylethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (8), effected the stereocontrolled homologation of boronic esters. sec-Alcohols derived from the product boronates by oxidation with ...
