The founding master of ‘Dachengquan, Wang Xiang Yhai, who is famous in the North and South, and praised by the martial arts circles of the whole country, has recently moved to Beijing. For the exchange of knowledge and opinions among the practitioners of different martial arts, he has arranged a meeting time every Sunday afternoon from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm, at Dayangyibin Alley, where he acts as ...

The generation of good-looking large textures for arbitrary surfaces as well as the distribution of many objects within an interactive ecosystem are very important. The restrictions of graphics memory size limit the desired dimensions of information content. In order to create more and more realistic looking environments, computer graphics has to make use of all algorithmic capabilities. Wang t...

Ionoregulatory development and the effect of chronic silver exposure on growth, survival, and sublethal indicators of toxicity in early life stages of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Abstract Rainbow trout embryos and larvae were continuously exposed, in a ¯ow-through system, to 0, 0.1 lg/l (measured=0.098‹0.002 lg/l) or 1.0 lg/l (measured=0.853‹0.022 lg/l) total silver (as AgNO 3) in moder...

1. An additional updated literature search had been conducted by the authors (D. Menzies and H. Hussain) to identify additional studies that had been published since the last systematic review and might otherwise have been included in the individual patient data (IPD). Of 523 titles identified, 30 were selected for full text review. Thirteen were additional reports on the cohorts that were alre...

To meet the increasing demand for value-added fresh cod loins in the EU retail market, it is important to develop new technologies and preservation methods to effectively extend the shelf-life and improve the eating quality of fresh cod loins. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of combined application of MAP and superchilled storage on the shelf-life extension of fresh cod loi...

A NIR method was developed for the on-line monitoring of alkali-free cloth/phenolic resin prepreg during its manufacturing process. First, the sizing content of the alkali-free cloth was analyzed, and then the resin, soluble resin and volatiles content of the prepreg was analyzed simultaneously using the FT-NIR spectrometer. Partial least square (PLS) regression was used to develop the calibrat...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a resin coating technique on the microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of resin cement to dentin in composite crown restorations. Crown preparations were done on human molars. A resin coating material, Hybrid Bond, was immediately applied to the prepared dentin and light-cured, while the tooth without resin coating acted as the control. An...

OBJECTIVES Adhesion of resin composites to dentin is currently believed to result from impregnation of adhesive resin into superficially demineralized dentin. The purpose of this study was to use micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the extent of resin penetration into etched dentin with single-step adhesive systems. METHODS Adhesive systems used were...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the resin solid content, catalyst content, and pH value obtained by the addition of two kinds of catalysts on the gel time of a urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin. Upon the addition of ammonium chloride, the pH value of the resin mixture decreased to 7 but not significantly further because of the limited free formaldehyde in the system. The pH...

Statement of the problem. The fracture of acrylic resin dentures remains an unsolved problem. Therefore, many investigations have been performed and various approaches to strengthening acrylic resin, for example, the reinforcement of heat-cured acrylic resin using glass fibers, have been suggested over the years. But problems such as poor workability, rough surface, poor adhesion of glass fiber...
