The present article is concerned with an analytical solution for some parts of rare earth doped fiber laser equations. The presented model is valid for both four and three-level fiber lasers consisting high reflectivity mirrors. A typical method to obtain initial value in the numerical solutions of fiber laser equations is shooting method, which is based on an iteration process. Whereas this st...

introduction: the aim of this study was to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (lllt) on pain, swelling and maximum mouth opening in patients undergoing third molar surgery. methods: a prospective, randomized double-blind study was undertaken on 44 patients at the dental school, ahvaz jundishapur university of medical sciences, in 2015. a low-level laser was randomly applied on one of ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different levels of external irrigation during irradiation with an erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (er,cr:ysgg) laser on the roughness and wear of dental tissue during scaling procedures. methods: twenty-five uniradicular bovine teeth had the proximal surfaces planed and divided into 3 regions: upper, middle ...

Selective laser sintering (SLS) of metals is a complex process exhibiting multiple modes of heat, mass and momentum transfer, and chemical reactions. The strong interplay between these physical mechanisms directly impacts the SLS process, determining whether a given material can be processed and if so, how the microstructure and properties of the processed material are in uenced. In order to un...

China is the biggest coal product and consumption country around the world. Lots of coal consumption resulted huge carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, especially for coal-fired power plant in China. Oxy-fuel combustion is currently considered to be one of the major technologies for CO2 capture in power plants. The ash formation mechanism and mineral transformation in high CO2 atmosphere is different...

Keloid formation is one of the most challenging clinical problems in wound healing. With increasing frequency of open heart surgery, chest keloid formations are not infrequent in the clinical practice. The numerous treatment methods including surgical excision, intralesional steroid injection, radiation therapy, laser therapy, silicone gel sheeting, and pressure therapy underscore how little is...

background: low- level laser therapy has been used to stimulate the orthodontic tooth movements (otm) previously. furthermore, in the orthodontic treatments accompanying tooth extractions, the adjacent teeth move towards the extraction sites and close the space in some cases. then, the adjacent tooth movements must be prevented in the treatments requiring space. laser stimulates and at some dos...

The advent of new technologies has enabled deeper insight into processes at subcellular levels, which will ultimately improve diagnostic procedures and patient outcome. Thanks to cell enrichment methods, it is now possible to study cells in their native environment. This has greatly contributed to a rapid growth in several areas, such as gene expression analysis, proteomics, and metabolonomics....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Calcaneous tendon is one of the most damaged tendons, and its healing may last from weeks to months to be completed. In the search after speeding tendon repair, low intensity laser therapy has shown favorable effect. To assess the effect of low intensity laser therapy on the process of tissue repair in calcaneous tendon after undergoing a partial lesion. STUDY DESIGN/...
