Abstract Solar desalination is one of many methods to separate excess salt from seawater. In this work, solar energy applied because its economical and environmental value. Additionally, practical use in the coastal region. To increase distillate produced by still, four variations cover thickness three inclination angle are still. The used work 3 mm, 5 8 10 mm 25°, 30°, 45°. type still that a r...

objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the translucency of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (rmgic) and polyacid-modified composite resin (pcmr) over a period of one year. materials and methods: the study was done on three rmgic (fuji ii lc, photac-fil aplicap and vitremer) and one pcmr (dyract). a conventional gic (fuji cap ii) and two composite resins (tetric and z 100) were ...

background: the clinical success of sandwich technique depends on the strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (rmgic) bonding to both dentin and resin composite. therefore, the shear bond strength (sbs) of resin composite bonded to rmgic utilizing different resin adhesives versus a gic-based adhesive was compared. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 84 holes (5×2 mm) were pre...

 Oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing CaF2nano-crystals doped with Y3+ ions were prepared by one-step crystallization of SiO2- Al2O3- CaO- CaF2 glasses at different temperatures. X- ray diffraction (XRD) results have revealed that CaF2 was the only precipitated crystalline phase in glass ceramic samples. According to the XRD results, a glass ceramic was selected as the best sample in order to ...

outdoor experiments on a once-through single glazed solar air heater with perforated metal absorber plate were conducted to determine the practical effect of absorber plate porosity as well as suction air flow rate on the collector thermal efficiency and its total pressure drop. three aluminum absorber plates were made perforated by drilling circular holes with different diameter/pitch ratios i...
