The finishing and polishing of composite materials affect the restoration lifespan. The market shows a variety of finishing and polishing procedures and the choice among them is conditioned by different factors such as the resulting surface roughness. In the present study, 156 samples were realized with three composite materials, -microfilled, nanofilled and silorane-, and treated with differen...

The inclusion of high concentrations of DDGS (30%) in both the nursery and growing-finishing periods may result in negative effects on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Summary The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the efiects of high concentrations of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 30%) on growth performance and carcass characteristics ofgilts, duringgrow...

Roughness increases significantly after finishing procedures. The aim of this study was to assess by the atomic force microscope (AFM) the effect of finishing instruments on the surface roughness of composite resins. A nanofiller composite resin (Filtek Supreme, 3M-F) and a microhybrid composite resin (Point 4, Kerr-P) were selected. The finishing procedures were done with a 30-blade carbide bu...

Among the various techniques available, ultrasonic Lamb waves offer a convenient method of evaluating composite materials. Since the Lamb wave velocity depends on the elastic properties of a structure, an effective tool exists to monitor damage in composites by measuring the velocity of these waves. Lamb wave measurements can propagate over long distances and are sensitive to the desired in-pla...

Mutant Escherichia coli strains in which export of the LamB protein (coded for by the lamB gene) to the outer membrane of the cell is prevented have been described previously. One of these mutant strains contains a small (12-base pair) deletion mutation within the region of the lamB gene that codes for the NH2-terminal signal sequence. In this mutant strain, export but not synthesis of the LamB...

Due to the problems of dispersion and multi-modes overlap for ultrasonic Lamb wave propagation, it is difficult to use it in many fields, such as long-range inspection. After ultrasonic Lamb waves are generated by a broadband ultrasonic pulse, these problems make the wave packets to spread out and various modes overlap in both time and space domain as they propagate through a plate or pipe. It ...

Stainless steel pipe with fine hole and long size has recently been needed for the flow line of pure gas and liquid, which is used in the field of precision machinery. Inner wall polishing of the capillary is very difficult by ordinary finishing methods. High speed slurry flow finishing method developed by authors has been proved to have excellent polishing performance, but it has been needed a...

Based on the characteristics of solid magnetic abrasive and abrasive flow finishing, a new technology of viscoelastic magnetic abrasive finishing is presented. The theoretical micro model of viscoelastic magnetic abrasive tools is established, and influencing factors of a positive pressure are determined by force analysis. Finishing mechanism of micro-grinding, slipping, rolling and so on is an...

Abstract   Case Description- A three-day-old male Kordi lamb had a soft painless fluctuating mass on the mid-parietal region, with no clinical signs except difficulty in standing; was referred to the clinic. Clinical Findings- Clinical examination revealed a normal body temperature, a heart rate, a respiratory rate, and inability to stand without any congenital defects Three-dimensional comp...
