introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis of tooth surface irradiated by different parameters of er:yag laser. methods: 15 caries-free extracted human third molars were used in this study. the teeth were put into 5 groups for laser irradiation as follows: group 1 (power: 2.5 w, energy: 250 mj); group 2(power: 3 w, energy: 300 mj); gro...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of breading materials and two different frying oils on the fat up-take in the fish fillets during frying process. Breaded and non-breaded black pomfret (Parastromateus niger) fillets were fried in sunflower oil and palm olein. Fat content by Soxhelet method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was studied. Results from Soxhelet method showe...

in this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (fmwcnt) were modified using doxycycline, containing reactable nitrogen, which can attach chemically to functionalized mwcnt. the synthesized nano compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) and raman spectroscopy. these spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide functional groups. the mor...

nanocrystalline zinc oxide (zno) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds), and tri ethanol amine (tea) via hydrothermal method. the products were characterized by means of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electr...

nanocrystals of zno were prepared by microwave irradiation using zn (ii) acetate and triethanol amin (tea) as the starting materials and water as solvent. the nanocrystals of zno with hexagonal (wurtzite) structure were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), uv-vis absorption and ftir spectroscopy techniques.

in this research nanoparticles of nickel (ii) chloride were synthesized and characterized using fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectra. nanoparticles of nickel (ii) chloride were prepared by using of ball mill device. a ball mill is one kind of grinding machine, and it is a device in which media balls and solid materials (the materials to be ground) are placed in a container. in the researc...

introduction : the aim of the present study was to comparatively evaluate the physical surface changes and incidence of separation in rotary nickel-titanium (niti) instruments using scanning electron microscope (sem). methods and materials: a total number of 210 freshly extracted human maxillary and mandibular first molars were selected and distributed between three groups. three different syst...

in the present study, pathogenicity of four native strains of entomopathogenic fungus; metarhizium anisopliae, was studied against adult stage of ixodes ricinus. for this purpose a total number of 180 adult ticks were examined in triplicate. thirty ticks for each strain and negative and positive controls were immersed in 2.4×107 fungal conidia/ml in vitro. samples were incubated in separate pet...

caco3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via heat-treatment of a new precursor and solid state reaction. effect of calcinations temperature and quantity of surfactant on particle size has been investigated. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and fourier transform infrared (ft–ir) spectroscopy.
