Carbonized Biomass as a bonding agent for Non-Load Bearing CHB Production

Evaluation of a New Nano-filled Bonding Agent for Bonding Orthodontic Brackets as Compared to a Conventional Bonding Agent

Introduction: Recent advances in the field of material sciences have opened up a new horizon of options for bonding agents that can be used efficiently in orthodontics. The purpose of this study was evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of the traditionally used Transbond XT and a newer nano-filled material Prime and Bond NT. Materials and methods: Sixty freshly extracted maxillary...

A Review of Selected Non-Edible Biomass Sources as Feedstock for Biodiesel Production

Feasibility of cattle urine as nutrient medium for the microalgal biomass production

Thenutrient medium used for the cultivation of microalgae adds more cost to its value-added product as well as the commercial scale application. Therefore in this study, focused feasibility of cattle urine as a cheap source of nutrients for microalgal growth, because, it contains various minerals and economical which may support the growth of microalgae and reduce the medium cost. To check this...

Radioiodine as a possible triggering agent for pemphigus foliaceus

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune blistering disease presenting in endemic and sporadic forms. The typical presentation is recurrent shallow erosions in a seborrheic distribution. PF has also been found in association with autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroid disease (e.g. toxic nodular goiter and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). In some patients, PF appears to be triggered by radioi...

Hydrothermal carbonization of biomass as a route for the sequestration of CO2: Chemical and structural properties of the carbonized products

A highly functionalized carbonaceous material (hydrochar) was obtained by means of the hydrothermal carbonization (250 oC) of two representative types of biomass, i. e. eucalyptus sawdust and barley straw. This product has a brown colour, it contains around 50-60 % of the carbon present in the biomass and it is composed by particles that retain the cellular appearance of the raw material. These...
