background: as glass ionomers have the ability to reload fluoride from outside sources, the aim was to compare the recharge pattern of six glass ionomer cements after exposure to fluoride. materials and methods: fuji vii, fuji ix, riva pink, riva bleach, ketac fil and fuji ix extra were investigated. the fluoride-containing materials used were tooth paste and mouth wash (colgate). specimens of ...

in this work, we consider each normal alkane as a hypothetical mixtureof methyland methylene groups, in which the interaction potential of each pair is assumed to be the average effective pair potential. then, the lir equation of state (eos) is extended for such a hypothetical mixture. also, three basic compounds, namely, propane, n-butane and cyclohexane, are used to obtain the contribution of...

from the early 1950s, estimating the autocorrelations of polynomials with coefficients on the unit circle has found applications in ising spin systems and in surface acoustic wave designs. in this paper, a technique is introduced that not only estimates the autocorrelations, but for some special types of such polynomials, it locates the frequencies at which maximum autocorrelation occurs.

‎let $g$ be a finite $p$-group and $n$ be a normal subgroup of $g$ with‎ ‎$|n|=p^n$ and $|g/n|=p^m$‎. ‎a result of ellis (1998) shows‎ ‎that the order of the schur multiplier of such a pair $(g,n)$ of finite $p$-groups is bounded‎ ‎by $ p^{frac{1}{2}n(2m+n-1)}$ and hence it is equal to $‎ ‎p^{frac{1}{2}n(2m+n-1)-t}$ for some non-negative integer $t$‎. ‎recently‎, ‎the authors have characterized...

In this paper the density and temperature dependencies of surface tension are investigated. Using the Lennard-Jones (12,6), as an effective pair interaction potential, a linear expression is derived for isotherms of g /r2  versus r2 for some normal and ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)</...

Previous work identified bilateral regions in the occipitoparietal lobe sensitive to the complexity of relational information [Phillips, S., Niki, K., 2003. Increased bilateral occipitoparietal activity for retention of binary versus unary indexed lists in pair recognition. NeuroImage 20 (2), 1226-1235]. Here, we investigate the effect of learning on sensitivity to relational complexity. Eight ...
