Further Studies on Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieves Part 2.-VPI-5 and Related Aluminophosphate Materials

VPI-5 and AIPO,-H2 are constructed from t h e same type of chain building uni t which contains octahedral Al atoms (coordinated with four framework oxygens and two water molecules). The bonded water molecules are believed to stabilize the cha in building unit and play an important role in the crystallization of these materials. This chain building unit limits the possibilities of incorporating ...

Impact energy absorption of three mouthguard materials in three environments.

The objective of this study was to compare the impact energy absorption of three mouthguard materials in three environments. Thirty specimens with 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 4 mm dimensions were prepared for each material: ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA, T&S Dental and Plastics), Pro-form (Dental Resources Inc), and PolyShok (Sportsguard Laboratories). Ten specimens of each material were conditioned for ...

The immediate enzymatic cocktail effect on the absorptive function of neobladder made by ileocystoplasty

The effectiveness of an enzymatic cocktail, collagenase and trypsin, on the absorptive function of ilealsegment was studied to evaluate the changes within groups after performing ileocystoplasty in an animalmodel. Twenty-one female mixed-bred Persian dogs were randomized into 7 groups. The groups included: 1) negative control group (NCG) in which no ileocystoplasty was performed (n = 3); 2) pos...

A custom-made head pointer for children.

Severely physically disabled adults and children may be able to use a head pointer to access an augmentative communication system or to participate in activities. This paper describes how to make and fit a thermoplastic head pointer and how to train a child to use it.
