Acceleration of bone healing has always been a major challenge in orthopedic surgery, the aim of this study was an evaluation of the biological effects of zirconia-stabilized yttria on bone healing, using an in vivo model. Nano-hydroxyapatite powder with zirconia-stabilized yttria were inserted in rabbit tibia and then histologically analyzed and compared with non-treated controls so thirty six...

The double-pass erbium-doped zirconia fiber amplifier (EDZFA) is proposed and demonstrated to provide a wide-band amplification as well as flat-gain operation in both the Cand L-band regions using only a single-gain medium. The proposed amplifier utilizes an erbium-doped zirconia fiber (EDZF) with erbium ion concentration of 2800 ppm as a gain medium. The medium is fabricated in a ternary glass...

Abstract In this work, the target of zirconia with 2-inch diameter is prepared from powder form having a particle size 5 µm by giving 4 tonnes pressure in hydraulic press. The sintered at 1000-degree Celsius for 10 hrs. Yttria-stabilized also obtained similar process. structural properties both targets are investigated using ?-2? geometry X-ray diffractometer system. changes structure studied d...

We report the growth and characterization of single-crystalline Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) and Mo-doped In2O3 (IMO) nanowires. Epitaxial growth of vertically aligned ITO nanowire arrays was achieved on ITO/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. Optical transmittance and electrical transport measurements show that these nanowires are high-performance transparent metallic conductors with transmit...

The elastic properties of the individual layers of layered materials can be derived from the resonant frequencies of a set of test specimens comprising samples with different layer configurations [1]. Based on this, a mixed numerical-experimental framework for the identification of the elastic properties of layered materials has been formulated and a number of different identification routines ...
