Nano-zirconia is commonly used in dentistry as a framework material over which feldspathic porcelain layered to form an aesthetic and strong bi-layered restoration. Sufficient bonding strength between zirconia frameworks veneering porcelains crucial for the longevity of zirconia-based dental restorations. This study aims determine shear bond (SBS) colloidal-processed slip-casted novel nano-zirc...

An HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of cetirizine dihydrochloride (CZ) as well as its related impurities in commercial oral solution and tablet formulations. Furthermore, two preservatives associated with the drug formulations, namely, propyl (PP) and butylparabens (BP) were successfully determined by this method. The chromatographic system used was equipped with a ...

Allergic diseases are a significant health concern in developing countries. Type-A procyanidin polyphenols from cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) bark (TAPP-CZ) possesses antiasthmatic and antiallergic potential. The present study was aimed at the possible anti-allergic mechanism of TAPP-CZ against the compound 48/80 (C48/80)-induced mast cell degranulation in isolated rat peritoneal mast ...

Comprehensive assessments of the need for additional methane control capacity beyond ventilation often require both an empirical and theoretical approach for an adequate or timely control of increased methane emission levels. Thus, the prediction of methane emissions and optimization of methane control systems prior to starting a new mining operation will be a major improvement towards eliminat...

The abstraction inherent in most specifications and the need to specify nondeterministic programs are two well-known sources of nondeterminism in formal specifications. In this paper, we present a formalism, including the notion of multi-schema and a new set of schema calculus operations, by which one can specify bounded, unbounded, loose, strict, erratic, angelic, demonic, singular, and plural...

BACKGROUND Homocysteine (Hcy) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor; however, in diabetes, the role of tissue Hcy leading to cardiac dysfunction is unclear. AIMS To determine whether tissue Hcy caused endothelial-myocyte uncoupling and ventricular dysfunction in diabetes. METHODS Diabetes was created in C57BL/6J male mice by injecting 65 mg/kg alloxan. To reverse diabetic complicatio...

The critical zone (CZ) is the region of Earth’s surface that extends from bottom weathered bedrock to tree canopy and important because its ability store water support ecosystems. A growing number studies use active source shallow seismic refraction explore define size structure CZ across landscapes. However, measurement uncertainty model resolution at depth are generally not evaluated, which m...

Clozapine (CZ) has superior efficacy to other antipsychotic agents in the treatment of schizophrenia and has been extensively used in clinical practice. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins are responsible for the distribution of various molecules as well as drugs across extracellular and intracellular membranes, including the blood-brain barrier. Genetic variations in these proteins...

Kongzhuang coal mine of Shanghai Datun Energy Resources Co., Ltd. is a typical deep in eastern China. The mining disturbance working face leads to the fracture and movement overlying strata damage aquifer strata, thereby causing water inrush disaster posing serious threat safety production mine. Therefore, temporal spatial evolution mechanism water-conducting fractured zone researched systemati...
