The open field activity monitoring system comprehensively assesses locomotor and behavioral activity levels of mice. It is a useful tool for assessing locomotive impairment in animal models of neuromuscular disease and efficacy of therapeutic drugs that may improve locomotion and/or muscle function. The open field activity measurement provides a different measure than muscle strength, which is ...

The application of an electric field to a flame modifies the characteristics due collective motion charged particles generated within flame. applied mobilises electrons and ions depending on their polarity, leading localised regions space charge with sufficient density either locally amplify or shield field. A fundamental understanding local is essential for both electrically plasma-assisted co...

Objectives Acrylic resins are one of the most important denture base materials in dentistry due to their favourable mechanical and physical properties. The purpose of present study is to compare 4 available acrylic flexural strength properties before and after thermocycling. Methods Acrylic resin specimens of Meliodent (Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany), Vertex (Vertex-dental BV, Zeist, Netherla...

to evaluate the interfacial morphology and the bond strength produced by the three-step, two-step and single-step bonding systems in primary teeth.occlusal surfaces of 72 extracted human deciduous teeth were ground to expose the dentin. the teeth were divided into four groups: (a) scotchbond multipurpose (3m, espe), (b) adh se (vivadent), (d) optibond all-in-one (kerr) and (e)futurabond nr (voc...

the ever increasing rate of power consumption has led to an increase in public exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (elf-mfs) and brought severe concerns about their health effects. considering previous studies and the facts about potential health effects of these fields, the present study aimed to evaluate the elf-mf flux densities from power distribution lines near hospitals in...

This paper presents the outcomes from an extensive investigation on the structure and geometry of single hemp fibres, as well as configurations and related tensile strength (TS) of hemp fibres, with the aid of field emission scanning and optical microscopy. The results showed that 1) the TS increased with the decrease of the diameter of individual test pieces, due possibly to the stacks of mult...

The measurement of cerebral metabolites using highly homologous localization techniques and similar shimming methods was performed in the human brain at 1.5 and 4 T as well as in the dog and rat brain at 9.4 T. In rat brain, improved resolution was achieved by shimming all first- and second-order shim coils using a fully adiabatic FASTMAP sequence. The spectra showed a clear improvement in spec...
