We present a new approach to a nanogenerator (NG) that is composed of integrated, paired nanobrushes made of pyramid-shaped metal-coated ZnO nanotip (NTP) arrays and hexagonal-prism-shaped ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays, which were synthesized using a chemical approach at <100 degrees C on the two surfaces of a common substrate, respectively. The operation of the NGs relies on mechanical deflection/b...

The curvature-corrected field emission current density, obtained by linearizing at or below the Fermi energy, is investigated. Two special cases, corresponding to peak of normal energy distribution and mean are considered. It found that density evaluated using results in errors net 3% for apex radius curvature, $R_a \geq 5$nm fields $E_a$ range $3-10$ V/nm an emitter having work-function $\phi ...

Background and Aim: Tubular penetration of root canal sealers prevents filling material displacement and overgrowth of microorganisms in dentinal tubules. The aim of this study was to compare the tubular penetration of AH26, EasySeal, and SureSeal sealers in single-rooted teeth using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Materials and Methods: Fifty human single-rooted teeth were included in thi...

Research on 2-dimensional static articulatory modeling has been performed by using the semi-polar system and the guided PCA analysis of lateral X-ray images of vocal tract. The density of the grid lines in the semi-polar system has been increased to have a better descriptive precision. New parameters have been introduced to describe the movements of tongue apex. An extra feature, the tongue roo...

introduction: determination of the canal working length with radiographs has many drawbacks. electronic apex locators have been developed to overcome some of these problems. recently, a newly designed apex locator called novapex has been introduced. all the studies conducted to determine the accuracy of novapex have been carried out in-vitro on extracted teeth. the aim of this in vivo study was...

intra-specific variations in apex development of two salt-tolerant cultivars (cross rowshan 11 (cr) and kharchia-65) and one salt-sensitive cultivar (ghods) of spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown in sand culture at selected levels of salinity (0, 100, 200, and 300 mol m-3 nacl and cacl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) were studied. to determine the apex lengths and the number of spikelet primordi...
