Windows are the weakest elements due to their high heat transfer coefficient and responsible for 60% energy heat/gain loss. Healthcare buildings one of biggest consumers continuous occupation hours medical requirements, providing comfortable conditions people in need care staff; yet recently less attention was given healthcare unique operational requirements advanced equipment. Thus, main purpo...

Effect of glazing with an ultraviolet light-activated coating material on reduction of the leaching of methyl methacrylate and formaldehyde from denture acrylic resins was quantitatively evaluated. Disks prepared from auto-polymerized resins were painted with the material and radiated with ultraviolet light. The disks were immersed in artificial saliva and the concentrations of methyl methacryl...

A good designing of the building represents an important factor for the energy economics. The windows represent one of the important elements in the designing of a building envelope. The window’s thermal performances have also a strong influence on the thermal performance of the opaque area of the wall. This fact imposed knowing the way of real interaction, of co-operation and of mutual influen...

Background: This study sought to assess the effect of glazing and polishing surface treatments on the optical behavior of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics thermocycled in different solutions. Methods:Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing ceramics (VITA Suprinity) were cut into samples (n=104) measuring 1.5x14x10 mm according to t...

Purpose 1. to assess the ability of four brands translucent monolithic zirconia with different thicknesses mask discolored substrates; 2. influence glazing upon their color coordinates and masking properties.
