abstract the concept of armouring is used to discuss the coarse surface layer in rivers. selective erosion in an alluvial channel reach for which there is no upstream sediment supply can lead to formation of a layer coarser than the under laying material. this phenomenon inhibits sediment transport from the reach.numerical modeling of armouring river bed, provides an approach to simulation of t...

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...

introduction: in the present study, the effects of light cure on wound healing of mice’s skin with complete thickness were studied. materials and methods: forty male mice of nmri race were placed randomly into two groups of examination and control. under aseptic and unconscious conditions, a circular wound of 6 mm width with complete thickness of skin was made on the back of each mice. the surg...

Background: Previous studies have shown that exposure to electromagnetic fields produced by magnetic resonance imaging or mobile phones can lead to increased microleakage of dental amalgam.Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of electromagnetic field of a commercial dental light cure device and a common GSM mobile phone on microleakage of amalgam restorations.Ma...

this research investigates the effect of the post-cure time on the residual stresses in laminated composites. laminated composites were made of t300 carbon fibers and epoxy resin. the post-cure process was carried out at the constant temperature of 120 °c for 6 and 12 hours for two specimens. the slitting method was employed to determine through-thickness residual stress distribution of the com...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the physico-mechanical properties a new cavity base material containing mineral trioxide aggregate, LA-T1, prototyped by Neo Dental Chemical Products for indirect restoration. Three materials, Cavios (CAV, Products), and Bulk Base Hard (BBH, Sun Medical), were examined. depth cure, microshear bond strength with resin-based luting cement, compressive these m...

Dental bulk-fill restorations with resin-composites (RBC) are increasing in popularity, but doubts concerning insufficient curing in depth still disconcert clinicians. An alternative might be offered by modern dual-cured RBCs, which additionally provide bioactive properties. This study assessed the impact of additional light-curing on polymerization kinetics, the degree of conversion (DC) and m...

background and aims. the aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of quartz tungsten halogen (qth) and light emitting diode (led) curing lights on polymerization of resin composite. materials and methods. a hybrid resin composite was used to prepare samples which were cured using two qth and ten led light curing sources. twelve groups, each containing ten samples, were prepared usin...
