In this study, Polyaniline molecule (emeraldine base) is modeled as a molecular wire and the effects of the metal/molecule coupling strength and the molecule length on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are numerically investigated. Using a tight-binding Hamiltonian model, the methods based on Non-equilibrium Green’s function theory, Landauer formalism and Newns-Anderson model, our calcu...

the acid-base equilibrium of lorazepam was studied by means of potentiometry andmultiwavelengths spectrophotometry. the stoichiometric equilibrium constants were determinedat 25 °c and constant ionic strength 0.1 mol l-1 (nacl). the acidity constants pk1=1.58±0.05and pk2=11.67±0.07 were found by potentiometry, and pk1=1.54±0.02 and pk2=11.61±0.03 bymulti-wavelengths spectrophotometry. potentiom...

For the detection of deletion polymorphisms, two pyrene moieties are tethered to an oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) on both sides of the intervening base; one- and two-base deletions can be selectively detected by the strength of the excimer emission.

Purpose: Acrylic dentures frequently fracture during service due totheir poor strength characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding 5%, 10% and 15% aluminum oxide powder on the flexural strength, surface hardness of a conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin. Materials and methods: One of the commonly used conventional heat cure denture base resin (DPI) and hi...

The purpose of the study was to assess the relative base designs of three different maxillary molar stainless steel brackets with reference to the shear bond strength of three different adhesive resins. The molar brackets used were Victory series (3M Unitek), Upper Molar (GAC) and Optimesh XRT (Ormco). The adhesives used were Transbond XT (3M Unitek), Enlight (Ormco) and Sure Ortho Light Bond (...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia-based restorations have the common technical complication of delamination, or porcelain chipping, from the zirconia core. Thus the shear bond strength between the zirconia core and the veneering porcelain requires investigation in order to facilitate the material's clinical use. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding strength of the porcela...
