One method of reducing styrene emissions from vinyl ester (VE) and unsaturated polyester resins (UPE) is to replace some or all of the styrene with fatty acid-based monomers. Methacrylated fatty acid (MFA) monomers are ideal candidates because they are inexpensive, have low volatilities, and free-radically polymerize with vinyl ester. The viscosity of VE resins using these fatty acid monomers r...

Background: Odontogenic tumors (OTs) are considered important among oral lesions because of their clinicopathological heterogeneity, and variable biological behavior. This paper aims to determine the frequency and distribution of OTs, over a period of 10 years, at a public university in Northeastern Brazil and compare this data with previous reports. Material and Methods: We reviewed all cases ...

To investigate the mechanism of transcription of the rat ribosomal DNA (rDNA) promoter, a series of 23 linker-scanning mutants were constructed and assayed in transfected CHO cells and with cell-free extracts. With minor variation, the results of the in vitro and in vivo assays paralleled one another. For example, these assays demonstrated that the mutagenesis of bases from -133 to -124, and th...

AIM To determine the prevalence of mouth breathing children at the santo amaro project/ esef/ upe, and study their main facial and behavior alterations. STUDY DESIGN transversal study. MATERIAL AND METHODS there were 150 children in the sample, with ages ranging from 8 to 10 years. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire and clinical examinations. As for their breathing assessment, t...

INTRODUCTION The increasing interest for time-varying tolling policies in transportation networks has highlighted the need for dynamic traffic assignment models in which users are allowed to choose both their route from origin to destination and their departure time. In the case of a single route with a bounded capacity, Vickrey (1969) derived the departure rate as the outcome of individual cos...

The endothelium monolayer lining in the luminal side of blood vessels provides critical antithrombotic functions. Damage to these cells will expose a highly thrombogenic subendothelium, which leads to pathological vascular changes. Using combined tissue engineering and ligand-receptor targeting strategy, we developed a biodegradable urethane-doped polyester (UPE) multifunctional targeting nanop...
