statement of the problem: increasing the thickness of the veneering porcelain may affect the polymerization of resin cements. incomplete polymerization of resin cements can lead to compromised quality of restoration and decrease the longevity of indirect restorations. purpose: this study sought to assess the effect of ips empress porcelain thickness on the degree of conversion of light-cure and...

statement of problem: the degree of conversion depends on the material composition, light source properties, distance from light source, light intensity, curing time, and other factors such as shade and translucency. objectives: in the present study, we evaluated the effects of different light- curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based resin composites on the degree of conversi...

atom transfer radical polymerization (atrp) of styrene was carried out at 105°c and a monte carlo simulation was employed to model the system. the variations of monomer conversion, the initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution were evaluated as the reaction proceeded. according to the results obtained, for similar reaction time, monomer conversion is h...

equatorial/axial conversion in piperidine and phosphorinane with different substituents wereinvestigated with great details. three possible routes, i.e. heteroatom inversion and two ring inversiontype were considered. ring conversion can occur via two pathways one starts with ring flatteningfrom the heteroatom site (nitrogen in piperidine and phosphorous in phosphorinane) and the otherinitiates...

Background: Clinical course of Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) is variable, and identifying patients who will eventually develop Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is essential. Objectives: To assess the conversion rate of CIS to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) and its predictors in southern Iran. Materials & Methods: A total of 143 CIS patients registered to Fars Multiple Sclerosis Soc...

Employing extensive co-conversion data for selected and unselected sites of known molecular location in the rosy locus of Drosophila. we determine the parameters of meiotic gene conversion tract length distribution. The tract length distribution for gene conversion events can be approximated by the equation P(L > or = n) = phi n where P is the probability that tract length (L) is greater than o...

Theexperiment was conducted to investigate the growth performance and feed conversion efficiency of crossbred heifer at different age level in Government Dairy Farm in Bogra, Bangladesh. Twelve female crossbred heifers were equally distributed (n=3) into four groups [Group A: (7±2 months), B: (12±2 months), C: (15±2 months) and D: (20±2 months)] according to age and fed concentrate mix, rice st...

A direct conversion modulator-demodulator with even harmonic mixers with emphasis on noise analysis is presented. The circuits consist of even harmonic mixers (EHMs) realized with antiparallel diode pairs (APDPs). We evaluate the different levels of I/Q imbalances and DC offsets and use signal space concepts to analyze the bit error rate (BER) of the proposed transceiver using M-ary QAM schemes...

in the present study, the effects of calcium doping on the performance of the co-precipitated cu-mgo catalysts prepared with different calcium loadings in the selective hydrogenation of furfuraldehyde were investigated. the results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. the conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% and the furfuryl ...

le missionnaire est un voyageur particulier qui voyage pour un motif sublime: celui de la propagande du christianisme. les missionnaires ne sont pas très nombreux, mais, ils ont écrit bien de livres par lesquels nous pouvons tracer leur démarche à travers l’asie et la perse en particulier. cet article est consacré à l’étude et l’analyse de cette mission tout d’abord en asie et plus particulière...
