The aim of this study was to compare ex vivo filtration rate (hydraulic conductance) in human dentin discs mechanically treated with diamond and carbide burs of different grain size with or without acid etching. Method: 60 healthy third molars, recently extracted from patients aged 18-30 years, were cleaned, disinfected (0.1% thymol) and embedded in epoxy resin blocks. Dentin discs were obtaine...

The structures of every kind rest on the soil under laying them. The stability of these structures depends upon the load carrying capacity of the soil. The bearing capacity of soil also depends upon the quantum of coarser particles presents in it. The plate load test is used for the design of footing. Therefore, in the present investigation, the plate load tests were conducted to study the sand...

In the current study, 18 halotolerant and halophilic bacteria have been investigated for their plant growth promoting abilities in vitro and in a hydroponic culture. The bacterial strains have been investigated for ammonia, indole-3-acetic acid and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate-deaminase production, phosphate solubilisation and nitrogen fixation activities. Of the tested bacteria, eight wer...

A 30-year-old woman with a history of depression developed puerperal depression treated with ECT and clomipramine. She was prescribed emepronium bromide for urinary tract symptoms and on the moming of admission took 100 tablets. On admission to hospital she refused gastric lavage, was treated with ipecacuanha and returned some tablet residue identified as emepronium. On examination she had wide...

Article history: Received on: 06/09/2013 Revised on: 03/10/2013 Accepted on: 15/10/2013 Available online: 31/10/2013 A simple stability-indicating method was developed and validated to determine amprolium hydrochloride (HCl) in water soluble powder formulation. The method is based on zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (ZIC-HILIC) coupled with photo diode array detector (...

Paraquat (PQ) is a toxic quaternary ammonium compound widely used in agriculture. numerous cases of paraquat intoxication have been reported either accidentally or intentionally as suicidal attempts. A method for the determination of the herbicide PQ in blood and urine samples was developed using liquid chromatography-(electrospray ionization) mass spectrometry (LcesI-ms), following extraction ...

Hippocampal brain slices were prepared by dissecting hippocampi from postnatal day P5–P7 wildtype C57BL/6 mice, which were then sectioned in 400 μm thick slices and embedded in a plasma clot on 0.14 mm thick glass coverslips. The slices were maintained in a roller incubator at 35°C in medium containing (in ml): BME 97, HBSS 50, horse serum 50, glucose (5M) 2, glutamine (200mM) 1 — according to ...

PURPOSE To determine the conversion coefficients (CCs) from the dose-area product (DAP) value to effective dose in cone-beam CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS A CBCT scanner with four fields of view (FOV) was used. Using two exposure settings of the adult standard and low dose exposure, DAP values were measured with a DAP meter in C mode (200mm×179 mm), P mode (154 mm×154 mm), I mode (102 mm×102 mm),...

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the roadway powering system for electric vehicles (EVs) and proposes a design from the perspective of power track design, integration, and powering control strategy, aiming to ensure the charging power and persistence, enhance the control flexibility, and reduce the construction cost. 1) A novel design scheme is first proposed to determine the len...
