introduction: one of the clinical problems in orthodontics is the bonding of brackets tocomposite restorations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bondstrength of brackets bonded to composite restorations using excite. methods:forty brackets were bonded to composite surfaces, which were embedded inacrylic resin. one of the following four protocols was employed for surfacepreparatio...

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) was pretreated using white-rot fungus Pleurotus floridanus, phosphoric acid or their combination, and the results were evaluated based on the biomass components, and its structural and morphological changes. The carbohydrate losses after fungal, phosphoric acid, and fungal followed by phosphoric acid pretreatments were 7.89%, 35.65%, and 33.77%, respectively. ...

two  simple  protocols  for  the  synthesis  of  1,  2,  4,  5-  tetrasubstitutedimidazoles  using  nano-spa  as  a  reusable,  eco-  friendly,  inexpensive,  and  efficient  catalyst  are  reported.  short   reaction  times,  high  yields,  scale-up  and  easy  workup  are  the   advantages of these protocols.

introduction: the purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of 17% ethylene,di-amine, tetra-acetic acid (edta), 6% phosphoric acid and erbium: yttrium, aluminum, garnet (er:yag) laser in removing the smear layer by scanning electron microscopy. methods: in this study, 80 single-rooted human teeth were selected. instrumentation was done by use of hand files and step-back technique...

self etching primers, due to ease of manipulation, have been extensively used in recent years. these self etching primers containing a relatively weak acid, may not provide an optimal bond strength. the purpose of the present in-vitro investigation was to evaluate the effects of 37% phosphoric acid application prior to applying self etching primers on composite bond strength. in this experiment...

Nuclease activity was dissociated from proteolytic activity when Sachs confirmed the observations of Milroy that an agent which attacked nucleic acid to liberate inorganic phosphoric acid could not liquefy gelatin and that proteolytic enzymes liquefied gelatin but could not attack nucleic acid (1). Henceforth the rate of separation of inorganic phosphoric acid from nucleic acid became the exclu...

Food sources,mineral redistribution, and excreta are someof theways ants enrich their mound environment. Phosphorus excretion has not been reported in red imported Þre ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren. QuantiÞcation of phosphoric acid in worker fecal droplets and larval anal liquid of S. invicta was performed. Phosphoric acid was trimethylsilylated using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trißuoroacetamide, ...

Phosphoric acid monoesters are among the most important substances in materials chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and so on. Many phosphoric acid monoesters have been synthesized on an industrial scale and are used as necessities in our daily life. From the perspective of green chemistry, the direct catalytic condensation of equimolar amounts of phosphoric acid and alcohols is attractive for the ...
