UNLABELLED Advances in all-ceramic systems have established predictable means of providing metal-free aesthetic and biocompatible materials. These materials must have sufficient strength to be a practical treatment alternative for the fabrication of crowns and fixed partial dentures. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the biaxial flexural strength of three core ceramic materials....

BACKGROUND The selection of the appropriate luting cement is a key factor for achieving a strong bond between prepared teeth and dental restorations. AIM To evaluate the shear bond strength of Zinc phosphate cement Elite, glass ionomer cement Fuji I, resin-modified glass ionomer cement Fuji Plus and resin luting cement Panavia-F to Turkom-Cera all-ceramic material. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tur...

Se ha observado un síndrome llamado Desorden del Colapso de las Colonias, siendo los principales factores causantes plaguicidas y la presencia plagas enfermedades. El objetivo este trabajo fue determinar cuantificar en muestras miel cera, prevalencia niveles infestación/infección parasitosis colonias abejas melíferas que pudieran asociarse a esta pérdida colmenas. Durante dos años consecutivos ...

Mobile computing has become very pervasive, where the number of electronic devices equipped with wireless capabilities has increased significantly in recent years. This poses serious demands on wireless, mobile and self-organizing networks. Despite the fact that devices are getting smaller and more powerful, advances in battery technology have not yet reached the stage where devices can autonom...

The aim of this study was to determine a suitable amount of grinding of a flexural test specimen for clinical evaluation of dental ceramics. Three dental ceramics (Crys-Cera, OCC and IPS Empress Cosmo) were selected. Five types of bar-shaped patterns were prepared for a three-point bending test, and four types of disk-shaped patterns for a biaxial flexural test. Ceramic specimens were fabricate...

Epoetin-induced pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is most commonly associated with epoetin-a; nevertheless, its occurrence has been reported in epoetin-β and darbepoetin-a. We report a young hemodialysis patient who developed PRCA 2 years after receiving intravenous epoetin-β. Epoetin- induced PRCA was confirmed by bone marrow aspiration, associated with markedly elevated anti-erythropoietin antibod...

En este estudio se determinó la influencia que tienen las condiciones de almacenamiento y aplicación cera en el estatus hídrico calidad poscosecha frutos mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Keitt. Frutos tratados hidrotérmicamente fueron divididos dos lotes: a uno les aplicó una comercial (Britex®) al otro le dejó como testigo (sin cera). Los encerados colocados tres diferentes déficit presión vapo...

Las condiciones de almacenamiento y la aplicación cera que influyen en el estatus hídrico calidad poscosecha frutos pepino (Cucumis sativus L.) cv. Conquistador, se investigaron para generar modelos empíricos permitan predecir vida anaquel. Los almacenaron bajo seis diferentes déficit presión vapor (DPV desde 0.19 hasta 1.26 kPa). Se midieron pérdidas peso diaria acumulativa, firmeza, potencial...

Four new species of the family Ochyroceratidae are described from Southwest China: Althepus christae sp. nov., Lecler- cera undulatus sp. nov., Psiloderces incomptus sp. nov. from Yunnan; and P. exilis sp. nov. from Guangxi. The four spe- cies belong to the subfamily Psilodercinae.
