Correlation inequalities are presented for functionals of a ferromagnetic Potts model with external field, using the random-cluster representation. These results extend earlier inequalities of Ganikhodjaev–Razak and Schonmann, and yield also GKS-type inequalities when the spin-space is taken as the set of qth roots of unity.

The Thomas model is the most common equation to describe dynamics of fixed-bed adsorption columns. However, its parameters’ validity strongly depends on region breakthrough curve considered for data fitting. A rigorous analysis based different error functions was carried out determine accuracy both linear and non-linear forms model. proved be more robust less susceptible experimental error, wit...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxic effects of various resin-based core materials that were cured with three light curing units (LCUs) in different modes on L-929 mouse fibroblast cells over 24 h and 72 h periods. STUDY DESIGN Eighty-four cylindrical discs (2 mm in thickness and 6 mm in diameter) of each material (Rebilda, Voco; Build-It FR, Pentron; Clearfil DC Core,...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influenceof different light curing systems and curing times on the micro-hardness of aresin modified glass ionomer. methods: forty two samples of resinmodified glass ionomer (rmgi) were prepared using stainless steel cylindrical mold(8 × 2 mm) and randomly divided into six groups of seven. three groups werecured with a quartz tungsten halo...

UNLABELLED Background and aims. Today light cured composites are widely used. Physical and mechanical properties of composites are related to the degree of conversion. Light curing unit (LCU) is an important factor for composite polymerization. Aim of this study is evaluation of composite resins hardness using halogen and LED light curing units. Materials and methods. In this study, 30 samples ...

This paper gives a systematic study to the general dual-polar Orlicz–Minkowski problem (e.g., Problem 4.1). involves dual volume $${\widetilde{V}}_G(\cdot )$$ recently proposed in Gardner et al. (Calc Var PDE 58:35, 2019; 59:33, 2020) order problem. As extends and qth volume, is “polar" initiated “dual" newly polar Luo (Indiana Univ Math J 69:385–420, 2020). The existence, uniqueness continuity...

introduction: discoloration of resin composites is a common reason for replacement of these restorations. the aim of this study was to eva-luate the influence of different light curing de-vices on color stability of a microhybrid resin composite. materials and methods: 80 disc-shaped speci-mens (8 mm in diameter, 2-mm height) were fabricated from filtek z250 resin composite. specimens were divid...
