AIM To evaluate and determine intracanal temperature rises at 2 and 4 mm from the working length (WL) necessary to obtain proper replication of intracanal anatomy with gutta-percha (GP) using the System B heat source during vertical condensation. METHODOLOGY A split-tooth model was prepared and artificial shallow depressions were cut in the buccal canal wall 2 and 4 mm from the WL. At the sam...

Background: Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a source of non-thermal plasma, is used in surface decontamination. Objective: To study the effect of DBD plasma treatment, we evaluated the effect of plasma exposure time on inactivation of Bacillus subtilis. Results: Applying the DBD plasma to the culture of B. subtilis caused complete sterilization of the surface without any thermal effects. In...

Despite their ubiquity in intonational research, high rising terminal (HRT) intonation contours have not been investigated in Aboriginal varieties of Australian English. This paper investigates the form, alignment and use of declarative rises in the Aboriginal English spoken in Sydney. It is shown that Aboriginal speakers used five distinct types of declarative rises: high rises, low and high-r...

The corrosion behavior of two stainless steels (316L and 304L) was evaluated using a CO2-loaded aqueous solution 30 wt.% monoethanolamine (MEA) with view to simulating related mechanisms in amine treatment procedures. Corrosion experimentally as function CO2 loading temperature, electrochemical techniques (polarization curves, cyclic polarization, EIS measurement). results reveal that the MEA c...
