The objective of this in vitro study was to assess the color change of resin nanocomposites exposed to a cola beverage at different times. Seventy-five cylinders (10 mm x 2 mm) were prepared from each of 4 resin-based composite materials, 3 nanocomposites (Filtek Supreme, Tetric EvoCeram, Premise) and 1 microhybrid (Filtek Z250), to give a total of 300 specimens. Specimens in each group were di...

UNLABELLED Iron has been suggested to reduce the erosive potential of cola drinks in vitro. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate in situ the effect of ferrous sulfate supplementation on the inhibition of the erosion caused by a cola drink. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten adult volunteers participated in a crossover protocol conducted in two phases of 5 days, separated by a washout perio...

The gender of the adjective and the participle depends on the gender of the noun. Green can be feminine, neuter, or masculine; which gender it has depends on the noun it modifies.

Our previous study suggests that aqueous extract of kola nut had effect on reproductive hormones in male rats. This study evaluates the effects of kola nut extract on plasma level of testosterone and luteinizing hormones in male rats. 30 adult male rats were used. These were divided into three groups: group A served as control and it received water only, group B and C received kola nut extract ...

For the International Space Station (ISS), it can take 6 to 24 hours to reliably catalog a newly disposed upper stage and up to 33 hours to plan and execute an avoidance maneuver. This creates a gap in the existing collision risk protection for newly launched vehicles, which covers the period when these launched objects are still under propulsive control; specifically, upper stage separation pl...

This paper presents a novel idea to the problem of learning concept descriptions from examples. Whereas most existing approaches rely on a large number of classiied examples, the approach presented in the paper is aimed at being applicable when only a few examples are classiied as positive (and negative) instances of a concept. The approach tries to take advantage of the information which can b...
