Effect of calcium hydroxide dressing on microleakage of composite restorations in endodontically treated teeth subsequent to bleaching

2009

Objective: This study evaluates the effect of calcium hydroxide dressing on microleakage of composite restorations following non-vital bleaching. Methods: A total of 45 sound extracted human maxillary central incisors underwent endodontic treatment. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n=15). In group 1, access cavities were restored with composite. In group 2, the teeth underwent a bleaching procedure for one week before being restored with composite. In group 3, following a bleaching procedure, calcium hydroxide paste was placed in the pulp chamber for one week. The teeth were then restored with composite. The specimens were subjected to a dye leakage test. The data was anal…

Experimental investigation and modeling of diffusion dialysis for HCl recovery from waste pickling solution

2019

Abstract Hydrochloric acid recovery from pickling solutions was studied by employing a batch diffusion dialysis (DD) laboratory test-rig equipped with Fumasep membranes. The effect of main operating parameters such as HCl concentration (0.1–3 M) and the presence of Fe2+ (up to 150 g/l) was investigated to simulate the system operation with real industrial streams. The variation of HCl, Fe2+ and water flux was identified. When only HCl is present, a recovery efficiency of 100% was reached. In the presence of FeCl2, higher acid recovery efficiencies, up to 150%, were observed due to the so-called “salt effect”, which promotes the passage of acid even against its concentration gradient. A 7% l…

Functional Adhesion of Pectin Biopolymers to the Lung Visceral Pleura

2021

Pleural injuries and the associated “air leak” are the most common complications after pulmonary surgery. Air leaks are the primary reason for prolonged chest tube use and increased hospital length of stay. Pectin, a plant-derived heteropolysaccharide, has been shown to be an air-tight sealant of pulmonary air leaks. Here, we investigate the morphologic and mechanical properties of pectin adhesion to the visceral pleural surface of the lung. After the application of high-methoxyl citrus pectin films to the murine lung, we used scanning electron microscopy to demonstrate intimate binding to the lung surface. To quantitatively assess pectin adhesion to the pleural surface, we used a custom ad…

Magnetic field analysis and leakage inductance calculation in current transformers by means of 3-D integral methods

1996

This paper presents 3D integral approach to power current transformer magnetic field and inductance calculations. A minimization of the kernel norm has been carried out for the integral equation governing the field. The software package TRACAL3, based on the integral methods for field and inductance calculations, has been developed and implemented for personal computers. The application of the 3D mathematical models has been made for the leakage field in a current transformer. The results of calculations were compared with measurement data. The comparison yields good agreement.

Estudo Comparativo da Infiltração Apical entre Dois Cimentos Endodônticos

2009

ResumoO objectivo deste estudo é comparar a capacidade de selamento apical de dois cimentos endodônticos. Foram utilizados trinta e oito dentes monorradiculares e divididos em dois grupos de 15 elementos, de acordo com o cimento utilizado (Grupo A: AH Plus e Grupo B: Tubli-Seal). Foram utilizados oito dentes nos grupos controlo positivo e negativo que não foram obturados (Grupo C). Os canais foram instrumentados pela técnica de crown-down, utilizando as limas Hero Shaper® and Hero 642® (Micro-Mega S.A., Besançon, France) e irrigados com hipoclorito de sódio a 5,25% entre cada instrumento. O smear layer foi removido utilizando 3ml de EDTA a 17% no final da instrumentação durante 3 minutos, s…

The motion energy sensor has been shown to account for a wide range of physiological and psychophysical results in motion detection and discrimination studies. It has become established as the standard computational model for retinal movement sensing in the human visual system. Adaptation effects have been extensively studied in the psychophysical literature on motion perception, and play a crucial role in theoretical debates, but the current implementation of the energy sensor does not provide directly for modelling adaptation-induced changes in output. We describe an extension of the model to incorporate changes in output due to adaptation. The extended model first computes a space-time r…

Radiation hardness of Czochralski silicon, Float Zone silicon and oxygenated Float Zone silicon studied by low energy protons

2004

Abstract We processed pin-diodes on Czochralski silicon (Cz-Si), standard Float Zone silicon (Fz-Si) and oxygenated Fz-Si. The diodes were irradiated with 10, 20, and 30 MeV protons. Depletion voltages and leakage currents were measured as a function of the irradiation dose. Additionally, the samples were characterized by TCT and DLTS methods. The high-resistivity Cz-Si was found to be more radiation hard than the other studied materials.

Results of proton irradiations of large area strip detectors made on high-resistivity Czochralski silicon

2004

Abstract We have processed full-size strip detectors on Czochralski grown silicon wafers with resistivity of about 1.2 kΩ cm. Wafers grown with Czochralski method intrinsically contain high concentrations of oxygen, and thus have potential for high radiation tolerance. Detectors and test diodes were irradiated with 10 MeV protons. The 1-MeV neutron equivalent irradiation doses were 1.6×1014 and 8.5×1013 cm−2 for detectors, and up to 5.0×1014 cm−3 for test diodes. After irradiations, depletion voltages and leakage currents were measured. Czochralski silicon devices proved to be significantly more radiation hard than the reference devices made on traditional detector materials.
