Background: Fear of dental care prevents dental cleaning behavior and increases the prevalence of dental caries. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Trans-Theoretical Model constructs and fear of dental care on the dental cleaning behavior of students. <span style="font-family...

In view of the poor effectiveness existing potato cleaning methods in China and reflecting findings a research analysis basic sizes types impurities on tubers, gradient method for based multi-step dry-cleaning wet operation was proposed. The mainly consists cleaning. stage, which combines vibration brushing, could effectively remove such as residual rhizomes, peeled skin, large pieces soil crus...

Mini combine harvester is a modern machine used for cutting rice, threshing and cleaning grain while walking in the field. This helps farmers where, time energy to harvest more efficiently does not require large amount of labor like traditional (manual) harvesting. study aimed calculate determine working capacity mini calculated work efficiency machine. The method this research was experimental...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to monitor the microbiological effect of cleaning near-patient sites over a 48-hour period with a novel disinfectant, electrolyzed water. SETTING One ward dedicated to acute care of the elderly population in a district general hospital in Scotland. METHODS Lockers, left and right cotsides, and overbed tables in 30 bed spaces were screened for aerobic colony count ...

OBJECTIVES The most efficient approach to monitoring and improving cleaning outcomes remains unresolved. We sought to extend the findings of a previous study by determining whether cleaning thoroughness (dye removal) correlates with cleaning efficacy (absence of molecular or cultivable biomaterial) and whether one brief educational intervention improves cleaning outcomes. DESIGN Before-after ...

Cleaning is a major problem associated with pools. Since the manual cleaning is tedious and boring there is an interest in automating the task. This paper presents methods for autonomous localization and navigation for a pool cleaner to enable full coverage of pools. Path following cannot be ensured through use of internal position estimation methods alone; therefore sensing is needed. Sensor b...

OBJECTIVE Cleaning products may cause work-related asthma, but information regarding the specific exposures involved is scarce. We aimed to determine the associations between asthma and occupational exposure to cleaning agents in hospital workers. METHODS Analyses were conducted in 179 (136 women) hospital workers and a reference population of 545 subjects (18-79 years) from the French case-c...

Many manufacturing companies are looking for ways to substitute environmentally problematic cleaning methods for surface treatments with more environmentally friendly ones. In this paper, one potential solution is described. The Qlean method, based on cleaning with highly pure water (in this paper defined as Qlean Water), is a novel cleaning method. This method, now utilized at one plant at a l...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the disinfectant effectiveness of alcohol 70% (w/v) using friction, without previous cleaning, on work surfaces, as a concurrent disinfecting procedure in Health Services. METHOD An experimental, randomized and single-blinded laboratory study was undertaken. The samples were enamelled surfaces, intentionally contaminated with Serratia marcescens microorganisms ATCC 14756...

The self-cleaning property is usually connected to superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) where the dust particles can be easily removed by the rolling motion of droplets. It seems that superhydrophobicity (its durability is questionable nowadays) is a necessity. However here, it is disclosed that self-cleaning can also be realized on an ordinary surface by droplet impinging. The effects of surface w...
