objective: maintaining the health of oral tissues is a major goal in dentistry. however, limitations in dental materials, instruments, procedures and medications prevent achievement of this goal. advances in nanotechnology have paved the way to approach this goal. this study reviews the advances on nanotechnology in dentistry. review of literatures: in this review study, google scholar, pubmed,...

natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. in this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. the design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. the dynamics of the plate i...

The present paper investigates the potential application of graphene sheets with attached nanoparticles as resonant sensors by introducing a nonlocal shear deformation plate model. To take into account an elastic connection between the nanoplate and the attached nanoparticle, the nanoparticle is considered as a mass-spring system. Then, a combination of pseudo-spectral and integral quadrature m...

In the solar energy industry great emphasis has been placed on the development of better and efficient systems as these are utilized in the form of heat and electricity for both domestic and industry purpose. The system is integration of several sub systems namely coated solar collectors; absorbers; plates shape and size, type of coatings, and techniques of applying these coatings are major gov...

Solar photovoltaics (PV) are emerging as a major alternative energy source. The cost of PV electricity depends on the efficiency of conversion of light to electricity. Despite of steady growth in the efficiency for several decades, little has been achieved to reduce the impact of real-world operating temperatures on this efficiency. Here we demonstrate a highly efficient cooling solution to the...

The work presented herein evaluates silicon nano-pillar arrays for use in planar chromatography. Electron beam lithography and metal thermal dewetting protocols were used to create nano-thin layer chromatography platforms. With these fabrication methods we are able to reduce the size of the characteristic features in a separation medium below that used in ultra-thin layer chromatography; i.e. p...
