UNLABELLED The penetration of a sealant into the tooth fissures can establish longer retention time for a pit and fissure sealant restoration. AIM This in vitro study was to evaluate the penetration ability of two low-viscosity resin materials, a composite and a compomer, applied with and without their bonding agents in comparison to an unfilled resin sealant. METHODS Forty premolars with s...

In this work, we implement a new London equation module for superconductivity in the GPU-enabled ARTEMIS framework, and couple it to finite-difference time-domain solver Maxwell's equations. We apply two-fluid approach model superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator. validate our implementation by verifying that theoretical skin depth reflection coefficients can be obtained several sup...

Abstract The discovery of a rotational symmetry breaking, or nematic, state in the superconducting doped topological insulator M x Bi 2 Se 3 (M = Cu, Sr, Nb) indicates multicomponent order parameter which is topological. Many questions remain this family materials. In particular, nematic axis twofold always pinned along one three rotationally equivalent directions threefold symmetric basal plan...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate LC Bead LUMI™ (40-90µm and 70-150µm) in order to determine if their increased resistance to compression influences microsphere penetration and distribution compared to more compressible commercial microspheres. LC Bead LUMI™ 40-90µm and 70-150µm, LC BeadM1® 70-150µm, Embozene™ 40µm and Embozene™ 100µm size and distributions were measured using optical m...

Characterization of the adhesive penetration behavior in wood is highly desired for optimizing the manufacturing processes and product properties. In this study, modified urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesive was used to prepare glued laminated timber (Cryptomeria fortunei Hooibrenk). The depth of gross penetration was measured by fluorescence microscopy (FM), which showed the UF passed through 1.5 t...

Superconductors without inversion symmetry in their crystal structure are known to exhibit unconventional properties. Recently, based on the measured temperature dependence of magnetic field penetration depth, superconductivity noncentrosymmetric $\mathrm{ThCoC_2}$ was proposed be a nodal $d$-wave and mediated by spin fluctuations. Moreover, non-BCS behavior electronic specific heat upper criti...

Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of resin infiltration on artificial caries lesion by assessing the depth of resin penetration and the change in microhardness of lesion postinfiltration. Materials and methods Totally 45 human extracted premolars were used to create an artificial demineralized lesion in enamel using demineralizing solution. A total of 15 samples (group I) were infiltrated wit...

The equations for the magnon pairing theory of high-temperature copper-oxide-based superconductors are solved and used to calculate several properties, leading to results for specific heat and critical magnetic fields consistent with experimental results. In addition, the theory suggests an explanation of why there are two sets of transition temperatures (T, 90 K and Tc 55 K) for the YBa2Cu306+...

depth of frost penetration is one of the main indices in agriculture, civil and transportation engineering. soil temperature is a function of several factors including: topography, solar radiation, air temperature, moisture content and other physical properties of soil such as thermal capacity, coefficient of heat conductivity, and specific heat. the main objective of the present paper is to de...

This work performs the analysis and simulation investigations of penetration behaviors of chisel-shape projectile. In analysis, the projectile is assumed to be a rigid body and the target plate is elastic-plastic material. By introducing the velocity potential function, the velocity field in target is first obtained. Then, the momentum equation is solved for determining the pressure and stress ...
