The aim of this study was to compare polymerization lamps of various technologies (halogen, high performance halogen, xenon, i.e. plasma arc, as well as diode lamps) to determine the degree of polymerization of composite probes using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. To observe the light-induced curing reaction under a bracket, an attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR was used. T...

when geotechnical engineers are faced with cohesive clayey soils, the engineering properties of those soils may need to be improved to make them suitable for construction. the aim of this paper is to study the effect of using lime, natural pozzolana or a combination of both on the geotechnical characteristics of two cohesive soils. lime or natural pozzolana were added to these soils at ranges o...

Abstract The spatial pattern of the new type heating curing building directly affects energy consumption PC component and passive utilisation efficiency solar energy. Based on thermal design theory simulation analysis method, this study constructed heating-curing model determined evaluation index space shape parameters. Energy Plus software, calculation case—the best characteristic parameters n...

Continuous radiation ovens are of widely used apparatuses in paint cure and coating industries. The most important issue that guarantee the quality of paint curing is suitable thermal condition. Designing of these ovens for curing paint on bodies of complex geometries has become a challenge for many years. In the present study a new designing approach is introduced and advised because of its ac...

background managing diabetes requires changes in the patients’ life style and health habits which in turn need the comprehensive understanding of the disease and its impact. objectives to understand the explanatory model of diabetes in iran, a qualitative study was performed using the grounded theory method. patients and methods thirty persons were interviewed: fifteen patients, eleven nurses, ...

During the past decade, substantial progress has been made in delineating clinical features of the epilepsies and the basic mechanisms responsible for these disorders. Eleven human epilepsy genes have been identified and many more are now known from animal models. Candidate targets for cures are now based upon newly identified cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie epileptogenesis. How...

Objective(s): A Box-Behnken design was used for evaluation of Eudragit coated diclofenac pellets. The purpose of this work was to optimize diclofenac pellets to improve the physicochemical properties using experimental design. Materials and Methods: Diclofenac was loaded onto the non-pareil beads using conventional coating pan. Film coating of pellets was done at the same pan. The effect of pla...

UNLABELLED Adequate polymerization plays an important role on the longevity of the composite resin restorations. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light-curing units, curing mode techniques and storage media on sorption, solubility and biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of a composite resin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and forty specimens were made of one comp...
