conclusions similar to previous studies, this study could not show the superiority of electric toothbrush over manual in plaque removal. after 72 hours, the mean of plaque index was greater in buccal than in lingual surface, which may be attributed to the natural cleansing action of the tongue. results the mean of plaque index was 2.13 ± 0.83 and 2.11 ± 1.01 in the manual and electric toothbrus...

We report here on the fabrication of porous anodic alumina PAA films from commercially available impure aluminum foil. While the expensive ultrapure PAA films are restricted to potential applications in nanoelectrophotonics, the impure PAA films are more suitable for large-scale applications, such as in catalysis and filtration. The anodization current behavior and chemical composition of the r...

colloids are small suspended particles in water which can not be settled or removed naturally due to their light weight and stability. these particles pose some degree of stability and cause water turbidity. there are some concerns regarding colloid removal efficiency in water treatment plants of iran. in this study, the effectiveness of aluminium sulfate and poly-aluminum chloride was evaluate...

The step toward the fabrication of nanodevices with low cost and improved performance is of high demand; therefore, in the present study, different flexible substrates like common paper, textile fabric, plastic and aluminum foil have been utilized to harvest electrical energy. ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown by using low temperature aqueous chemical growth method. The obtained ZnO NRs were highly...

the removal of organic precursors of disinfection by-products (dbps), i.e. natural organic matter (nom), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of dbps. trihalomethanes (thms) as the main group of dbps are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and cns adverse effects. this study which pre...

introduction: the objective of this study was, wastewater quality investigation and removal efficiency of contaminants from the wastewater tile factory by using  coagulants includes ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and ferrous, aluminum sulfate and poly aluminum chloride in order to reuse it in the processing line. methods: this is an applied study. with regard to shiftwork schedules of the fact...

: In this work, we have proposed a concept for the generation of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured metal alloys of immiscible materials induced by megahertz-frequency ultrafast laser pulses. A mixture of two microparticle materials (aluminum and nickel oxide) and nickel oxide microparticles coated onto an aluminum foil have been used in this study. After laser irradiation, three different t...
