Smart designs of hydroxyapatite (HAp) materials with customized electrical properties are drawing increasing attention for their wide range potential applications. Such enhanced directly arise from the number and orientation OH? groups in HAp lattice. Although different polarization treatments have been proposed to enhance final conductivity by generating vacancies at high temperatures imposing...

Abstract. The performance of a mini inverted soot generator (MISG) has been investigated at ChAMBRe (Chamber for Aerosol Modelling and Bio-aerosol Research) by studying the properties particles generated ethylene propane combustion. This work deepens expands existing characterization MISG, which also exploits an atmospheric simulation chamber (ASC). Different from previous works, MISG tested di...

Background and Aim: Implant site preparation with minimal trauma is an important factor in success of implant treatment and has a great effect on osseointegration. Piezoelectric bone surgery was introduced as a modern technique for micrometric osteotomy with precise, controllable action. Preservation of osteoblast cell viability is critical to achieve successful osseointegration. The present st...

Located far from anthropical disturbances and with low seismic magnetic background noise profiles, the LSBB facility is ideal location for a new hybrid detector study of space-time strain. The MIGA infrastructure [1], utilizes an array atom interferometers manipulated by same beam, resonant optical field 150 m long cavity. constitutes method geophysics, characterization spatial temporal variati...

Introduction: In recent years, resin-matrix composite materials have revealed a fast technological improvement for dental applications. However, there are still some drawbacks related to the chemical composition, polymerization, and mechanical properties of composites with consequences in long-term clinical success. Objective: This study aimed perform narrative review regarding effects inorgani...

Time-lapse fluorescence imaging coupled to micro-irradiation devices provides information on the kinetics of DNA repair protein accumulation, from a few seconds several minutes after irradiation. Charged-particle microbeams are valuable tools for such studies since they provide way selectively irradiate micrometric areas within cell nucleus, control dose and micro-dosimetric quantities by means...

BACKGROUND Precious fruits like jambul are neglected and wasted while environmental pollutants like lead intake remain overlooked. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Jambul pulp extract on lead detrimental effects in pseudostratified epithelium and the stereocilia of mice epididymis and vas deferens. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty young males mice (Mus muscu...
