PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the precision at the implant interface of gold-machined UCLA-type abutments and computer-assisted design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) titanium abutments with both external-hexagonal connection and internal-hexagonal connection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen gold-machined UCLA-type abutments with external-hexagonal connection, 15 gold-machined UCLA-...

nanocrystalline particles of barium hexaferrite has been prepared by the sol–gel auto- combustion method using iron and barium nitrate with a ba:fe molar ratio of 1:10. the effect of fuel such as citric acid and aspartic acid was investigated on the structure and magnetic properties of nanoparticles. the results revealed that the formation of barium hexaferritefine particles is influenced by mo...

for the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (ni) modified composite graphite (cg) electrode (hcp-nano ni/cg) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 m koh). the hcp-nano ni/cg electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare cg. the elec...

Nonpotential effects in nonlinear evolution of Marangoni convection patterns are investigated analytically and numerically. Three manifestations of nonpotential effects are considered: (i) spatial modulations of hexagonal patterns; (ii) interaction between a short-scale hexagonal pattern and a long-scale slow deformational (Goldstone) mode; (iii) generation of the mean flow by the free-surface ...

The vertex set of the resonance graph of a hexagonal graph G consists of 1-factors of G, two 1-factors being adjacent whenever their symmetric difference forms the edge set of a hexagon of G. A decomposition theorem for the resonance graphs of catacondensed hexagonal graph is proved. The theorem intrinsically uses the Cartesian product of graphs. A canonical binary coding of 1-factors of cataco...

Eccentric distance sum (EDS), which can predict biological and physical properties, is a topological index based on the eccentricity of a graph. In this paper we characterize the chain hexagonal cactus with the minimal and the maximal eccentric distance sum among all chain hexagonal cacti of length n, respectively. Moreover, we present exact formulas for EDS of two types of hexagonal cacti.

Hexagonal Ag/Pt nanoshells were prepared by using a hexagonal Ag nanoplate as the displacement template and by introducing Pt ions. The prepared Ag/Pt nanoshells played the role of an electrocatalyst in an oxygen reduction process. Compared to spherical Pt and Ag/Pt nanoparticles, the hexagonal Ag/Pt nanoshells showed higher activity for oxygen electroreduction.

In our present work undoped CdS and Cu doped CdS thin films were deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath method. XRD analysis of the as-prepared sample indicated CdS:Cu nanorods to be mixture of two phases namely hexagonal and cubic. It has been observed that one particular plane (100) has preferentially grown as the maximum intense peak whereas the other two planes (101) and (102) have d...
