background: surface microhardness is a physical property which access the effect of chemical and physical agents on hard tissues of teeth, and a useful way to examine the resistance of fluoride treated enamel against caries. the purpose of this study was to evaluate microhardness of enamel following ph-cycling through demineralization and remineralization using suspensions of dentifrices with d...

My talk deals with the same subject as that of the previous speaker, Dr. Szabo, except I am not going to assert that it involves residual stresses necessarily. I consider some kind of a perturbation of the elastic properties and/or density due to some kind of surface treatment. As in all problems of this kind I assume, at least for the time being, some kind of an ansatz about mutual proportiona...

Current work targeted to predicate parametric relationship between aggregate and individual property of a protein. In this approach, we considered individual property of a protein as its Surface Roughness Index (SRI) which was shown to have potential to classify SCOP protein families. The bulk property was however considered as Intensity Level based Multi-fractal Dimension (ILMFD) of ordinary m...

A procedure for preparation of semi-activated carbon fiber (SACF) without any treatment under high temperature was proposed. The first step of the procedure is coating of an inorganic fiber (E-glass fiber) by an adsorbent mixture including powder activated carbon, methyl cellulose and water. In this work a set of experiments was performed to attain appropriate adsorbent mixture for good quality...

objective(s):anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. we have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of h9c2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface.  materials and methods: surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (sem). control...

Tool wear and cutting parameters have a significant effect on the surface layer properties in milling. Since relation between tool wear, parameters, is mostly unknown, latter cannot be controlled during production may vary from part to as progresses. To account for this uncertainty prevent premature failure, components often need oversized or adjusted subsequent manufacturing processes. Several...

To improve the safety of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX) particles, polymer thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and nitrocellulose (NC) were introduced to coat HMX powder by water-solution suspension method internal solution method, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) X-ray photo-electron spectrometry (XPS) employed characterize samples role NC TPU in coating process...
