Objectives: The aim of the study is to assess odontoclasts and inflammatory cells in extracted deciduous teeth, with without dental caries, thereby evaluate possibility decreased rate resorption/delay exfoliation due alteration cell count odontoclasts. Material Methods: Twenty teeth (10 caries 10 caries) were collected, prepared, sectioned, stained under a light microscope magnification ×400. H...

Abstract Ultrasound-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation is a promising method for manufacturing two-dimensional materials. Understanding the effect of ultrasonication parameters such as temperature and input power on developed pressure field pivotal optimization process. Limited research has been carried out to determine optimal exfoliation, with some data generating disputed results. Simply maxi...

BACKGROUND Identifying the influence formalin fixation has on RNA integrity and recovery from clinical tissue specimens is integral to determining the utility of using archival tissue blocks in future molecular studies. For clinical material, the current gold standard is unfixed tissue that has been snap frozen. Fixed and frozen tissue however, both require laser capture microdissection to sele...

Nanocomposite plastics are a promising class of materials with a range of applications, particularly in the automotive industry. By incorporating mineral material of nanoscale dimensions, the mechanical properties of the bulk plastic, such as strength, thermal stability, and flame retardance, are drastically improved, with little to no impact on other favorable properties such as low weight. In...

This epidemiological study is completed on island Rab, located in North Adriatic Sea. For this study it is important that Adriatic Sea has one of the highest solar radiations in geographical area of Europe. The aim of this epidemiological study is to estimate correlation between incidence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and exposure of sunlight in two different populations on island R...

In this study, a novel method of graphite chemical exfoliation to create graphene oxide (GO) is reported. Here, new oxidants were examined: a mixture of perchloric and nitric acids and potassium chromate. Furthermore, an effect of oxidation time, temperature of oxidation, and ultrasonication on graphite exfoliation degree was investigated. The obtained GOs were next reduced with glucose, used a...
