AIM To measure the light transmission through different esthetic posts and to evaluate the degree of polymerization of dual cure resin cement cured through these posts. MATERIALS AND METHODS The posts were divided into two experimental groups i.e. Group A (D.T. Light post); Group B (D.T. White post) and control i.e. Group C (metal post), each group having 10 samples. Posts of each group were ...

We describe the calibration and structure of a multi-species, two-scale light transmission model, and demonstrate its effectiveness for predicting instantaneous light availability at the stand scale across a wide range of forest stand compositions. The model, MIXLIGHT, calculates light transmission through the forest overstory at the stand or microsite scale using standard forest inventory data...

in this work, we report synthesis and characterization of bi2o3 nanoparticles loaded on mesoporous mcm-41 nanoparticles by a simple solid-state dispersion (ssd) method. monoclinic bismuth oxide nanoparticles were prepared by polyacrylamide gel method and used as loading materials on the prepared mesoporous mcm-41 as a supporting material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray p...

We explore, both experimentally and theoretically, the existence in the millimeter-wave range of the phenomenon of extraordinary light transmission through arrays of subwavelength holes. We have measured the transmission spectra of several samples made on aluminum wafers by use of an AB Millimetre quasi-optical vector network analyzer in the wavelength range 4.2-6.5 mm. Clear signals of the exi...

The transmission properties of semiconductor surfaces can be changed by surface texturing. We investigate these changes experimentally and find that an enhancement of the angle-averaged transmission by a factor of 2 can be achieved with optimum texturing parameters. This enhanced transmission provides an additional light extraction mechanism for high-efficiency surface-textured light-emitting d...

in this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. first, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on stratton-cho surface integral equations. then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. it is shown that in scatter...
