Banjar (Gombak, Selangor), Taman Lembah Maju (Cheras, Kuala Lumpur) and Kampung (Kg.) Baru (City centre, Kuala Lumpur). Kg. Baru gave the highest ovitrap index in both indoors and outdo...

We present UBV CCD photometry and low-resolution spectra of stars in the field of the young open cluster NGC 146. UBV photometry of 434 stars were used to estimate the E(B−V) reddening of 0.55 ± 0.04 mag and BV photometry of 976 stars were used to estimate a distance modulus of (m−M)0 = 12.7 ±0.2 mag, corresponding to a distance of 3470 −305 pc. We estimated 10 – 16 Myr as the turn-off age for ...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of concepsis (a chlorhexidine gluconate based cavity disinfectant) application on composite restorations micro leakage, using two adhesive systems: excite and adhese. materials and methods: in this interventional experimental study, class v cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of seventy-two extracted bovine incisors. the specimen...

carum copticum is a grassy and annual plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. we have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of 4 rnl aqueous extract (ae), 0.0 5 ml ethanol extract (ee), and 0.0 0 5 ml essential oil (eo) of carum copticum and 1 rnl of a 5 mm solution of its main ingredient, thymol (t), in compa...
