abstract: current data indicates that the risk of transmilssion of blood-borne pathogens in dental health care settings is low. pre-exposure hepatitis b vaccination and the use of standard precautions to prevent exposure to blood are the most effective strategies for preventing dhcp from occupational infection with hiv, hbv or hcv. dental health care facility should develop a comprehensive writ...

abstract introduction: the mineral content of dentin increases with age and its primary structure is altered. these changes may have unknown effects on efficiency of adhesive systems. the aim of this study was to find the effect of aging on dentin bonding agents. methods and materials: fourty eight extracted human premolars were divided into 2 groups under 15 years old & 2 groups over 45 years ...

the aim of study was to evaluate qualitative and quantitative characteristics of old trees in pattom and namkhaneh districts in the nowshahr, northern iran. the trees quantitative characteristics of dbh, total height, slenderness coefficient, trunk height, crown length, buttress height, and canopy cover area and qualitative characteristics of crown and trunk, i.e., health, vitality, and concurr...

introduction: cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. the aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (ot) induced cardioprotection and its signaling pathways on lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and creatine kinase-mb isoenzyme (ck-mb) in the anesthetized rats. methods: eighty...

abstract:â green spaces, especially urban gardens have been a subject of study in many countries for a long time, but the subject has been mostly overlooked in iran. therefore, this study tries to analyze the changes in land use and how we can protect green spaces (gardens) in jahrom in line with sustainable development in 1996-2006. the data in this study were collected through local investiga...

in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

objective: being able to cause disease in human, herpes simplex viruses (hsvs) clinically demonstrate themselves as intra-oral, extra-oral or recurrent lesions. the existing acyclovir has the selective anti-herpetic drug to control hsv infections. due to emerged resistance to this drug and limitations of using it in especial situations, there is a need for alternative treatments such as availab...

global concern of protection of the environment has led to researches on the effects of plants, natural extracts and organic materials to help maintain the postharvest quality of horticultural crops. throughout the present study, the effects of such natural products as: mint, thyme, savory, rosemary extracts, s-carvone, and humic acid on postharvest life of cut rose flowers, and the potential o...

in this work, an optical sensor for detection of ascorbic acid is described. the sensor is fabricated by casting and spin-coating silica sol-gel doped with 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol on the glass plates. the sols are in turn obtained by acidic hydrolysis of various precursors such as tetraethoxysilane, triethoxymethylsilane and triethoxyoctylsilane in the presence of 2,6-dichlorophenol indop...

japan is a region of active plate tectonics, well known for its japanese trench a geological feature evolving as a result of north pacific (np) oceanic plate pushing and sub-ducting underneath the north american (na) plate. multiple plate tectonics have been continuously recorded in the region since 1979 by the network of gps stations called geonet. the network operating and monitoring more tha...
