Soft tissue integration of different abutment surfaces: An experimental study with histological analysis
2021
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether abutment surface and surface bio-activation have an effect on soft tissue morphogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 36 patients (36 implants) were included. Abutments were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 9): Smooth Surface-MAChined (MAC), Ultrathin Threaded Microsurface (UTM), MAC Plasma of Argon activated (Plasma-MAC), and UTM Plasma of Argon activated (Plasma-UTM). After 2 months of healing, soft tissue samples were collected and prepared for histological analysis. The margin of the peri-implant mucosa (PM), the apical extension of the barrier epithelium (aJE), and the apical location of the abutment (AM) were identified. Significances of differences among gro…
Ocena aktywności przeciwdrobnoustrojowej olejku geraniowego
2017
Olejki eteryczne od lat poddaje się badaniom poszukując w nich alternatywy dla syntetycznych środków konserwujących w kosmetykach. Olejek geraniowy dzięki zawartości głównie geraniolu i cytronelolu stanowi potencjalnie właśnie taką substancję. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie właściwości przeciwdrobnoustrojowych olejku geraniowego. W pracy wykorzystano komercyjny olejek (AvicennaOil). Oceniono aktywność przeciwdrobnoustrojową etanolowego roztworu olejku w zakresie stężeń od 0,25 do 10,0 µl/ml. Materiał biologiczny stanowiły szczepy referencyjne z kolekcji ATCC: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa oraz Candida albicans. Do badań wrażliwości szczepów na…
IL GOTICO CHIARAMONTANO ED ARAGONESE NELLA SICILIA OCCIDENTALE: GEOMETRIE A CONFRONTO.
2007
Già dal 2003 è in atto una ricerca condotta in campo nazionale dal Prof. C. Cundari che ha come obiettivo finale quello di realizzare una ricognizione a tappeto su tutto il territorio dell'Italia centro- meridionale, per costituire un catalogo interattivo e multimediale sull'architettura di influenza aragonese. La ricognizione tipologica è stata affiancata dai rilievi e dalle restituzioni grafiche di molti tra i campioni individuati. Si è realizzato un data base di gestione di più di mille schede redatte in campo nazionale secondo parmetri individuati tra i responsabili delle diverse unità locali. Attraverso il lavoro è possibile individuare non solo la tipologia costruttivo- architettonica…
Kadmiju saturošu augstfrekvences bezelektrodu gaismas avotu spektroskopiskā izpēte
2015
Bakalaura darbā tika veikta kadmiju saturošu augstfrekvences bezelektrodu lampu (ABL) spektru reģistrācija un identifikācija. Tika analizēta kadmija, cinka, dzīvsudraba un argona spektrālo līniju intensitātes atkarība no ierosmes ģeneratora jaudas, kā arī tika aplūkota ABL starojuma intensitātes stabilitāte laikā. Darba ietvaros LU Atomfizikas un spektroskopijas institūtā veidotās lampas tika salīdzinātas ar komerciāli pieejamu kadmiju saturošu ABL.
Spectral shapes of forbidden argon β decays as background component for rare-event searches
2018
The spectral shape of the electrons from the two first-forbidden unique ${\beta }^{-}$ decays of 39Ar and 42Ar were calculated for the first time to the next-to-leading order. Especially the spectral shape of the 39Ar decay can be used to characterize this background component for dark matter searches based on argon. Alternatively, due to the low thresholds of these experiments, the spectral shape can be investigated over a wide energy range with high statistics and thus allow a sensitive comparison with the theoretical predictions, in particular at low electron energies where the shape of the computed β spectrum has a slight dependence on the value of the weak axial-vector coupling constan…

Molecular complexes between glycolic acid and nitrogen were studied in a low-temperature argon matrix with FTIR spectroscopy, and supported by MP2 and BLYPD3 calculations. The calculations indicate 11 and 10 stable complex structures at the MP2 and BLYPD3 levels of theories, respectively. However, only one hydrogen-bonded complex structure involving the most stable SSC conformer of glycolic acid was found experimentally, where the nitrogen molecule is bound with the carboxylic OH group of the SSC conformer. The complex shows a rich site structure variation upon deposition of the matrix in different temperatures and upon annealing experiments, which provide interesting prospects for site-sel…
Development of a Matrix-Matched Sphalerite Reference Material (MUL-ZnS-1) for Calibration of In Situ Trace Element Measurements by Laser Ablation-Ind…
2016
Sphalerite (ZnS) is an abundant ore mineral and an important carrier of elements such as Ge, Ga and In used in high-technology applications. In situ measurements of trace elements in natural sphalerite samples using LA-ICP-MS are hampered by a lack of homogenous matrix-matched sulfide reference materials available for calibration. The preparation of the MUL-ZnS1 calibration material containing the trace elements V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Mo, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Tl and Pb besides Zn, Fe and S is reported. Commercially available ZnS, FeS, CdS products were used as the major components, whereas the trace elements were added by doping with single-element ICP-MS standard solutions a…
A Novel Gas Chromatographic Method to Measure Sorption of Dense Gases into Polymers
2006
A novel experimental approach to determine the solubility of gaseous compounds inside polymers is here described. The method is based on the gas chromatographic determination of the composition of the fluid phase at equilibrium with the polymer. To take into account the effect of the volume swelling on the measurement a suitable probe, nonabsorbable by the polymer, was added to the fluid phase. Under the adopted configuration the apparatus can operate up to 35 MPa and 80°C. This experimental technique has been used to determine the solubility of carbon dioxide in poly(vinylidene fluoride) using argon as a probe. The latter was chosen because it is negligibly absorbed by the polymer and does…
Sorption of high pressure fluid mixtures into semi-crystalline polymers: investigation of the system carbon dioxide/vinylidenefluoride/poly(vinyliden…
2008
A novel experimental apparatus for measuring gas absorption has been adopted to study sorption of carbon dioxide CO2 and vinylidenefluoride (VDF) in a semi crystalline polymer, namely poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVDF). The experimental technique allows to calculate simultaneous absorption of different components in the polymer phase, through a gas chromatographic determination of the composition of the fluid phase. To take into account indirectly the polymer swelling, a suitable not-absorbable probe, namely argon, has been added to the fluid phase. Concentrations of molecules absorbed in the polymer phase were simply calculated through mass balance equations written for each component in the …
The orientational glass state of argon:Nitrogen and cyanide mixed crystals
1990
Abstract Solid solutions of Ar:N 2 and ( KBr ) 1− x ( KCN ) x mixed crystals show a so-called orientational glass state where the orientations of the aspherical species, N 2 respectively CN - , are frozen in random patterns. The main experimental characteristics of this state and the pertinent theoretical concepts are discussed.
