Background: Dentin sensitivity is one of the most important problems in dentistry. Enamel loss due to root exposure is serious issue and common exposure is one of the reasons for dentin hypersensitivity. There are different methods for solving this problem. One of the most conservative and least expensive methods is use of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste. Objec...

Structural field relations, petrologic and geochemical studies, and radiometric age aualysis of metamorphic rocks at the base of the Brooks Range ophiolite provide a record of the time, tectonic setting, and initial conditions of ophiolite emplacement during the Middle Jurassic western Brookian orogeny. The metamorphic sole of the Misheguk, Siniktanneyak, and Avan Hills ophiolite bodies is tran...

The subaerial surface of Koolau volcano is composed of lavas that define the distinctive endmember composition for Hawaiian shield lavas, known as the Koolau component, now designated as the Makapuustage. The geochemical characteristics of lavas recovered by the Koolau Scientific Drilling Project (KSDP) show that this distinctive composition forms a <300-m thick veneer. Below this veneer, from ...

Ahshact-The heat capacity of synthetic andradite garnet (Ca~Fe&Oir) was measured between 9.6 and 365.5 K by cryogenic adiabatic calorimetry and from 340 to 990 K by differential scanning calorimetry. At 298.15 KC&,, and Sz arc 351.9 + 0.7 and 316.4 rf: 2.0 J/(mol-K), respectively. Andradite has a X-peak in Ci, with a maximum at 11.7 t 0.2 K which is presumably associated with the antiferromagne...

We prepare highly Bismuth substituted iron garnet of composition type Bi1.8Lu1.2Fe3.6Al1.4O12 by using low and high substrate temperatures (250 °C and 680 °C) during the deposition process inside the vacuum chamber of RF magnetron sputtering system. The crystallization process of this garnet type thin film materials are performed by means of optimized high temperature oven annealing process and...

Mineral compositions and reaction textures found in migmatitic gneisses from near Gilsum, New Hampshire, constrain both peak metamorphic pressure (P) and temperature (T) conditions and the PT path. Large K-feldspar porphyroblasts indicate isobaric heating of the samples at P < 4 kb (Spear et al. 1999), and relict cordierite + garnet assemblages record the occurrence of biotite vapor-absent melt...

We have investigated the Faraday rotation of in-plane magnetized bismuth-substituted ferrite garnet films grown by liquid phase epitaxy on (100) oriented gadolinium gallium garnet substrates. The Faraday spectra were measured for photon energies between 1.7-2.6 eV. To interprete the spectra, we use a model based on two electric dipole transitions, one tetrahedral and one octahedral. Furthermore...
