One of the most striking of the Hellenistic pottery fabrics has not come to the notice of Bulletin readers for some years, although the Museum has a good selection of it. This pottery is decorated, if at all, with reliefs, and has a glaze which is so often bright green that the ware is referred to as "green-glazed," even though other colors occur. With the recent addition of several pieces, the...

Endovascular therapy of arterial occlusive disease has made impressive progress since the first balloon angioplasty conceived by Dr Charles T. Dotter in 1964, followed by the first peripheral balloon angioplasty by Dr Andreas Gruntzig in 1974. Each advancement has frequently faced skepticism after the initial clinical experience. Thankfully, skepticism was met in kind with research seeking faci...

Because of the significant difference between thermal expansion coefficients ceramic blank and glaze, glaze typically undergoes more pronounced shrinkage than during cooling, which results in high stress concentrations cracking. In this study, mechanical mechanism cracking is studied, based on statistical strength theory, damage mechanics, continuum mechanics. Furthermore, influence layer thick...

Comparison of two surface sealants on roughness and color stability a commercially available denture base material. Metallic discs were invested in flask using dental stone to prepare mold space. The polymer monomer mixed ratio 3:1 by volume processed form disc disc-shaped specimen. All the samples finished, polished checked for roughness. Sealants applied material cured light-curing unit. 120 ...

The selective and simultaneous ion-exclusion chromatography (IEC) with UV-detection on a weakly acidic cation-exchange resin column in the H+ -form (TSKgel Super IC-A/C) was developed and applied for the simultaneous determination of phosphate and silicate ions as the water quality parameters required for optimizing the water-leaching process for ceramics glaze raw materials of natural origin i...
