This study compared the shaping ability of five Ni-Ti rotary files (ProTaper Universal, Reciproc, Hyflex CM, ProTaper Next and TF Adaptive) in simulated root canals. Each group consisted of 10 root canals. Preand post-instrumentation photographs were taken using a precise camera and superimposed with Photoshop. Material removal from the inner and outer canal walls, transportation and centering ...

ti-mcm-41 was synthesized at ph 3, 7 and 11. the titanium content was determined by aas and found to be 4%, 3.2% and 4.5%, respectively. in order to increase the titanium content in ti-mcm-41, ti(iv) ions were grafted onto ti-mcm-41 using ticl4 in toluene and ti(obu)4 in ethanol. the incorporation of ti was determined to be 28% and 30%, respectively. the oxidation of olefins such as cyclopenten...

The data presented in this article is related to the research experiment, titled: 'Quasi in-situ energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy observation of matrix and solute interactions on Y-Ti-O oxide particles in an austenitic stainless steel under 1 MeV Kr2+ high temperature irradiation' (Brooks et al., 2017) [1]. Quasi in-situ analysis during 1 MeV Kr2+ 520 °C irradiation allowed the same microst...

introduction: using hospital databases is extremely depended on an accurate classification that is based on clinical coding. we aimed to determine the validity of procedural coding in teaching hospitals. methods: in this cross-sectional study, we selected 246 medical records from kashan hospitals in 1386 and recoded procedures. procedures, coders’ information, and documentation principals were ...

Some loose ends in Shadrin’s remarkable paper are tied up. Shadrin’s theorem [S] settles a problem posed first in [B73] in the following setting. For k ∈ N, let t := (ti : i ∈ Z) be nondecreasing with ti < ti+k, all i, and set a := inf i ti, sup i ti =: b. For each i, let Nik(x) := (ti+k − ti)∆(ti, . . . , ti+k)(x− ·) k−1 + = (∆(ti+1, . . . , ti+k)− ∆(ti, . . . , ti+k−1))(x − ·) k−1 + be the it...

The products of graphic design applications leave behind traces of digital information which can be used during a digital forensic investigation in cases where counterfeit documents have been created. This paper analyzes the digital forensics involved in the creation of counterfeit documents. This is achieved by first recognizing the digital forensic artifacts left behind from the use of graphi...
