INTRODUCTION The resin infiltration technique, a minimally invasive method, involves the saturation, strengthening, and stabilization of demineralized enamel by a mixture of polymer resins without the need to use rotary tools or the risk of losing healthy tooth structures. AIM OF THE STUDY To design and synthesize an experimental infiltrant with potential bacteriostatic properties.To compare ...

Field infiltration tests were conducted at a hillside near the ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam in Hubei Province, China. The test site consists of residual soil and decomposed granite. The infiltration rate is estimated from the in situ tests to be 1.465–2.778×10−6 m s−1, depending on the initial water content. The rate at which the infiltration front moves down through the soil matrix within...

abstract infiltration process is one of the most important components of the hydrological cycle. on the other hand, the direct measurement of infiltration process is laborious, time consuming and expensive. in this study, the possibility of predicting cumulative infiltration in specific time intervals, using readily available soil data and artificial neural networks (anns) was investigated. for...

abstract infiltration is one of the most important phenomena which is affected by the soil physical and hydraulic characteristics. measurement of infiltration needs the high cost and is time consuming, therefore estimation of infiltration is necessary. also, due to variability of soil moisture, it is important to determine the appropriate model for the estimating the infiltration rate. the pres...

Eosinophilic digestive disease (EDD) includes a broad spectrum of clinical presentations due to eosinophilic inflammation involving anywhere from the esophagus to the rectum. The heterogeneity in the clinical presentations of EDD is determined by the site and depth of eosinophilic infiltration. The sites of inflammation determine the nomenclature for EDD. The most well characterized of these, e...

abstract infiltration is a significant process which controls the fate of water in the hydrologic cycle. the direct measurement of infiltration is time consuming, expensive and often impractical because of the large spatial and temporal variability. artificial neural networks (anns) are used as an indirect method to predict the hydrological processes. the objective of this study was to develop ...

[1] This work quantifies and explains the direct physical effects of slope angle on infiltration and runoff generation by extending the Green-Ampt equation onto sloping surfaces. A new extended solution using identical precipitation hydrographs was compared to the original formulation and then used to calculate the infiltration and runoff generation for different slope angles but for identical ...
