We study interactions between electrons and nuclear spins by using the resistance ( Rxx) peak which develops near the Landau-level filling factor nu = 2/3 as a probe. Temporarily tuning nu to a different value, nu(temp), with a gate demonstrates that the Rxx peak regenerates even after complete depletion ( nu(temp) = 0), while it rapidly relaxes on either side of nu(temp) = 1. This indicates th...

The objective of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of propolis against enterotoxigenic strain of MRSA which inoculated into lab prepared ice cream. EEP was added to ice cream in 3 concentrations (150, 300 and 600 mg/L). The prepared ice cream was divided into 2 groups, one stored at freezer temp. at (-5°C), while the other was kept in deep freezer temp....

This research evaluated the influence of temporary cements (eugenol-containing [EC] or eugenol-free [EF]) on the tensile strength of Ni-Cr copings fixed with self-adhesive resin cement to the metal coronal substrate. Thirty-six temporary crowns were divided into 4 groups (n=9) according to the temporary cements: Provy, Dentsply (eugenol-containing), Temp Cem, Vigodent (eugenol-containing), Rely...

BACKGROUND In mechanically ventilated patients, we investigated how positioning the heat and moisture exchanger (HME) at different places on the ventilator circuit affected inspiratory gas humidification. METHODS Absolute humidity (AH) and temperature (TEMP) at the proximal end of endotracheal tube (ETT) were measured in ten mechanically ventilated patients. The HME was connected either direc...

Temp erature dependence s of the linear dimension L ( T ) and spontaneous polari zati on P s( T ) for tri glycine sulphate and glycine posphite single crystals have been measured in the same run of temp erature. A decrease in the spontaneous electrostriction coe£cient Q L of both crystals studied is displayed w hen approaching the corresp ondi ng phase transition point T c . A temp erature dep ...

We use administrative data from the unemployment insurance system of the Sate of Washington to study the magnitude of the wage differential associated with work in the temporary services industry. We find that temp wage rates are 15% to 20% below the levels that might have been expected based on trends during other periods in workers’ careers even after controlling for differences between temps...

OBJECTIVE Check if the Temporal flow response to Tilt could provide early hemodynamic pattern in the minutes preceding a syncope during the Tilt test performed after a 60-d head down bedrest (HDBR). METHOD Twenty-one men divided into 3 groups [Control (Con), Resistive Vibration (RVE) and Chinese Herb (Herb)] underwent a 60 day HDBR. Pre and Post HDBR a 20 min Tilt identified Finishers (F) and...

OBJECTIVE This study compared the marginal gap, internal fit, fracture strength, and mode of fracture of CAD/CAM provisional crowns with that of direct provisional crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS An upper right first premolar phantom tooth was prepared for full ceramic crown following tooth preparation guidelines. The materials tested were: VITA CAD-Temp®, Polyetheretherketone "PEEK", Telio CAD-...
