Researchers at the University of California at Irvine have recently completed a three-year project to assess lead exposure in more than 1,719 children in Tijuana, Mexico, and launch a lead prevention public health program there. Besides already producing positive effects in Tijuana, researchers say, the program could eventually lower the risk of lead poisoning among migrant children in the Unit...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effects of different surface conditioning methods on the bond strength of orthodontic brackets to glazed full-zirconia surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS Glazed zirconia (except for the control, Zirkonzahn Prettau) disc surfaces were pre-treated: PO (control), polishing; BR, bur roughening; PP, cleaning with a prophy cup and pumice; HF, hydrofluoric acid etchi...

In the study, firstly, heat transfer coefficients of windows were calculated according to highest and lowest emissivity values. Secondly, monthly average solar radiation values determined. The coefficient for double, triple quadruple glass windows. Thirdly, in south, north east/west directions five climatic zones multiplied by shading factor, surface area energy factor discrete buildings. Thus,...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the failure and fracture resistance of zirconia-based fixed partial dentures (FPDs) under the influence of different surface treatments and adjustment procedures. METHODS Seven groups (n=8/group) of three-unit zirconia-based FPDs were fabricated in anatomic design (AD) or anatomically reduced design (ARD) and surfaces were prepared according to clinical relevan...

We report on the interpretation of a late medieval Eastern Mediterranean glazed ceramic vessel with sgraffito decoration depicting sailing ship. The artefact represents chance find that was recovered outside excavation area Ropotamo underwater archaeological excavations Southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast in 2017. Fragments sgraffito-decorated ceramics depictions ships are rare. Complete example...
