conclusions by a simple check of the water peak characteristics, lots of information can be obtained, one of which is the status of shimming that has a considerable effect on the accuracy of the spectrum. thus, performing an automatic or manual shimming is not a criterion of the spectrum accuracy, and performing a periodic quality control using a test phantom by a specialist is necessary. brief...

The gas filled polymer spheres are used either as an ultrasonic contrast agents or controlled drug delivery microcapsules. The power spectrum of the ultrasonic backscattered signal was calculated from the resonance scattering theory for the gas bubbles surrounded by elastic shield. The size distribution of the measured microspheres was included in the calculations. In experiment, the backscatte...

Chemomechanical procedures can be used to eliminate bacteria from root canals. However, detectable bacteria sometimes remain because of the complexity of the root canal system. Endodontic passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may be a promising option for increasing bactericidal hydroxyl radical (HO•) generation. In this in vitro experiment, we examined the effects o...

In this paper, the effect of ultrasonic pre-treatment and aeration on the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from pyrite was investigated at different amounts of potassium ethyl xanthate (KEX), as a collector, and pH values. Artificially-mixed samples of chalcopyrite and pyrite were subjected to flotation studies to understand the effect of aeration with or without ultrasonic tre...

Finite element method (FEM) has been employed extensively for vibration modal analysis of piezoelectric transducers and devices. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the simulation and analysis of piezoelectric transducers by using equivalent electrical circuit models. This paper has been devoted to such approach for two designed and fabricated ultrasonic sandwich transducers h...

In this study, spherical Nb2O5 nanoparticles were synthesized by a novel chemical method as a simple, robust, surfactant-free, non-toxic and widely applicable approach. In order to investigate the effect of initial concentration on particle sizes, nanoparticles with different initial concentration were synthesized. Ultrasonic assisted method was applied and the effects of ultrasonic treat...

It is important to examine the factors that determine the properties of graphene. Various factors affect the properties of graphene nanosheets that can revolutionize the use of graphene. One such factor is ultrasonic waves, which have significant effects on graphene properties. In this research, we studied the effect of ultrasonic waves with different power levels (35, 50, 360, and 420 W) on fo...
