The final hot strip profile is a superposition of the roll initial crown, the roll bending and flattening crown, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown. In this research, linear regression models are proposed to predict the roll force, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown using experimental data provided by Mobarake Steel Complex (MSC). The short beam theory based on ela...

We used local microclimatic conditions and twig sap flow rates to interpret midday stomatal closure in the canopies of two 250-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees at a subalpine site in the Swiss Alps (1,650 m a.s.l.). Both trees showed midday stomatal closure on most clear summer days, despite the permanently wet soil. We used a modified Penman-Monteith formula to simulate p...

crown ethers 12-crown-4 (12c4), benzo-15-crown-5 (b15c5), 18-crown-6 (18c6), nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (nb18c6) dibenzo-18-crown-6 (db18c6) and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (dc18c6), dissolved in dichloromethane, are able to form oxonium-ion complexes in contact with aqueous sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions. this ability allows the transfer of cr(vi) oxanions from the acid media, through an orga...

AIMS The purpose of the study was to apply established methods to survey reasons for the placement and replacement of crowns in general dental practice in the United Kingdom. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight general dental practitioners were recruited. Participants recorded the principal reason for the provision of each initial and replacement crown they provided over a 12-w...

The process of single liquid drop impact on thin liquid surface is numerically simulated with Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method. The mathematical model involves gravity, viscosity and surface tension. The model is validated by simulation of the experiment of Wang and Chen (2000) and Manzello and Yang (2002). It is found that the dynamic processes after impact are sensitive to the liqui...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the retention force changes and wear behaviours of double-crown systems over long-term use. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten groups, each consisting of six samples, were evaluated. Specifically, casting gold alloy primary crown - casting gold alloy secondary crown (AA), laser sintering primary crown - laser sintering secondary crown (LL), casting Cr a...
