AIM To evaluate the degree of conversion of one dual-cured resin cement light-cured through three fibre posts within extracted human teeth. METHODOLOGY Fifteen mandibular premolars were root filled and then divided into three groups. Variolink II was light-cured through the posts (LP, D.T. Light-Post; PP, FRC Postec Plus; SP, Snowpost) within the root canal. The degree of conversion was obtai...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The degree of conversion depends on the material composition, light source properties, distance from light source, light intensity, curing time, and other factors such as shade and translucency. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we evaluated the effects of different light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based resin composites on the degree of conversio...

This study was performed to investigate the effects of feeding rates on growth performance, feed conversion and body composition of juvenile snow trout (Schizothorax zarudnyi). For this purpose, fish with an initial body weight of 2.17±0.1 g were fed a commercial diet (40% protein, 3.8 Kcal g-1 diet) at five ration sizes of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% of their body weight per day, for 60 days. The f...

The present work approaches the problem of achieving the approximate solution of the second order initial value problems (IVPs) via its conversion into a Volterra integral equation of the second kind (VIE2). Therefore, we initially solve the IVPs using Runge–Kutta of the forth–order method (RK), and then convert it into VIE2, and apply the εmodified block–pulse functions (εMBPFs) and their oper...
