statement of problem: considering the cost and amount of time and also the quantity of tooth loss in the process of cavity preparation, repair of the restoration instead of its replacement would be much more efficient. purpose: the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different methods of surface conditioning on the shear bond strength of repaired compomers. materials and methods: s...

background: study habits and skills are very important particularly in medical school which is characterized by heavy workload, heavy time commitments, and high stakes assessments. students’ approach to learning, which includes study habits, has an important impact on both the excellence of the learning and their academic success. the aim of this study was to evaluate the study habits of shiraz...

determination of stockpile weight and stockpile inventory are critical to any quarry or mining operation, whether it is required by accounting firms or used internally for the quarterly balance of production and sales. generally, errors and problems originate from two factors. volume of stockpile that is traditionally worked out from the mapping results has a low accuracy due to irregular shape...

purpose: to study the validity and reliability of subjective refraction, predicted phoropter refraction (ppr) measured by zywave aberrometer, and final surgical plan applied for laser vision correction. methods: this prospective study was conducted on 94 myopic or myopic astigmatic eyes (48 patients) who were candidates for refractive surgery in negah eye hospital from april 2012 to july 2012. ...

The reactivity of the protonated and hydroxylated sphalerite (1 1 0) surface with xanthate was simulated using the density functional theory (DFT). The difference between the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the sphalerite surface and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of xanthate (  was used to compare the reaction capability of xanthate with fresh and fun...

studying gaussian beam is a method to investigate laser beam propagation and abcd matrix is a fast and simple method to simulate gaussian beam propagation in different mediums. of the abcd matrices studied so far, reflection and refraction matrices at various surfaces have attracted a lot of researches. however in previous work the incident beam and the principle axis of surface are in parallel...
