objective: the use of sugar-free chewing gums has been reported to be highly effective in the prevention of dental caries. this study carried out to compare the effect of mastic gum and a xylitol chewing gum on remineralization of caries-like lesions. materials and methods: in this cross-over, single blinded, in situ study, first, artificial caries-like lesions were created in six extracted hum...

Abstract: A novel dust free alginate impression material was formulated and prepared, comprising an alginate polyvinylpyrrolidone and tetraflouroethylene resins, a mixture of liquid paraffin and dimethylpolysiloxane oil as the dust generation controlling agents and processed diatomaceous earth filler which was obtained from Iranian ore. No dusting was detected during the mixing of the powde...

It is pointed out that, contrary to some claims in the literature, the domain walls cannot be a source of a correlated at large scales primordial magnetic field, even if the fermionic modes bound on the wall had ferromagnetic properties. In a particular model with massive (2+1) dimensional fermions bound to a domain wall, previously claimed to exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior, it is explicitly ...

We compute an the genus 1 correction to free energy of Hermitian two-matrix model in terms of theta-functions associated to spectral curve arising in large N limit. We discuss the relationship of this expression to isomonodromic tau-function, Bergmann tau-function on Hurwitz spaces, G-function of Frobenius manifolds and determinant of Laplacian in a singular metric over spectral curve. 1 Two-ma...

Background: Wharton’s jelly is an unlimited source of stem cells that can be used in cell therapy and tissue engineering without any ethical concern. It has been revealed the cell-free extract could be effective to induce cell differentiation. The objective of this study was to induce Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into hepatocyte-like cells by premeabilization of the cel...

This paper studies the effective factors involving in the attitudes of make students toward vandalism at high –schools in 2012-2013. Theories which applied here are ratio communication of Sutherland, kellawarel and online. Merton anomie, Heir chi's social ties and Good's family structure Throuah Cochran's formula more than 376 ones were chosen. The data wave analyzed  by   SPSS and  the statist...

Spontaneous magnetization in the Maxwell QED2+1 at finite fermion density is studied. It is shown that at low fermion densities the one-loop free energy has its minimum at some nonvanishing value of the magnetic field. The magnetization is due to the asymmetry of the fermion spectrum of the massive QED2+1 in an external magnetic field. † E-mail address: [email protected] ⋆ Talk presented at the...

the hydrophobic proteins of plant plasma membrane still remain largely unknown.  for example in the arabidopsis genome, receptor-like kinases (rlks) are plasma membrane proteins, functioning as the primary receptors in the signaling of stress conditions, hormones and the presence of pathogens form a diverse family of over 610 genes. a limited number of these proteins have appeard in protein pro...

the development and discovery of new anticancer agents is one of the main goals in medicinal chemistry. the conventional anticancer drugs are concomitant with high incidence of unpleasant side effects like severe gastrointestinal side effects and bone marrow suppression. in recent years, various selective anticancer agents have been emerged like dasatinib. the exact mechanism of dasatinib is th...
