These notes were written to accompany a sequence of workshop lectures at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in January 2013. My lectures had two purposes. The first was to introduce some of the main ideas of exchangeability theory at a level suitable for graduate students (assuming familiarity with measure-theoretic probability). The second was to show the key rôle exchangeability has p...

to investigate and compare the amount of fluoride release of conventional, resin modified and nanofilled resin modified glass ionomer cements.tablets of glass-ionomer cements were immersed in deionized water and incubated at 37°c. after 1, 2, 7, 15 and 30 days, fluoride ion was measured under normal atmospheric conditions by fluoride ion selective electrode. buffer (tisab ii) was used to decomp...

Peritoneal fluids obtained from mice after the intraperitoneal administration of Bordetella pertussis vaccine, heated vaccine, an extract of the organisms, killed Escherichia coli, or thioglycolate medium were examined in terms of total cells and percentage that adhered to glass cover slips during 2-h incubation period. All these substances were found to increase the number of leukocytes in per...

The glass cover is often situated at the aperture of a cavity receiver in concentrating collectors to reduce heat dissipation. However, decrease optical efficiency due reflection loss on surface will directly thermal collector, especially for fixed-focus solar concentrator, whose axis generally not coincident with central receiver. To fundamentally evaluate effect Fresnel lens concentrator/coni...

Natural soiling and the subsequent requisite cleaning of photovoltaic (PV) modules result in abrasion damage to cover glass. The durability front glass has important economic consequences, including determining use anti-reflective and/or anti-soiling coatings as well method frequency operational maintenance (cleaning). Artificial linear brush using Nylon 6/12 bristles was therefore examined exp...
