Hence, the objective of the present study was to provide a complete macroscopic and microscopic description of the equine embryo/fetus at various gestational ages. Thirty-four embryos/fetuses were aged based on their crown rump length (CRL), and submitted to macroscopic description, biometry, light and scanning microscopy, as well as the alizarin technique. All observed developmental changes were chronologically ordered and described. As examples of the main observed features, an accentuated cervical curvature was observed upon macroscopic examination in all specimens. In the nervous system, the encephalic fourth ventricle and the encephalic vesicles forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, were visualized from Day 19 (ovulation ϭ Day 0). The thoracic and pelvic limbs were also visualized; their extremities gave rise to the hoof during development from Day 27. Development of other structures such as pigmented optical vesicle, liver, tail, cardiac area, lungs, and dermal vascularization started on Days 25, respectively. Light and scanning microscopy facilitated detailed examinations of several organs, e.g., heart, kidneys, lungs, and intestine, whereas the alizarin technique enabled visualization of ossification.

Hence, the objective of the present study was to provide a complete macroscopic and microscopic description of the equine embryo/fetus at various gestational ages. Thirty-four embryos/fetuses were aged based on their crown rump length (CRL), and submitted to macroscopic description, biometry, light and scanning microscopy, as well as the alizarin technique. All observed developmental changes were chronologically ordered and described. As examples of the main observed features, an accentuated cervical curvature was observed upon macroscopic examination in all specimens. In the nervous system, the encephalic fourth ventricle and the encephalic vesicles forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, were visualized from Day 19 (ovulation ϭ Day 0). The thoracic and pelvic limbs were also visualized; their extremities gave rise to the hoof during development from Day 27. Development of other structures such as pigmented optical vesicle, liver, tail, cardiac area, lungs, and dermal vascularization started on Days 25, respectively. Light and scanning microscopy facilitated detailed examinations of several organs, e.g., heart, kidneys, lungs, and intestine, whereas the alizarin technique enabled visualization of ossification.

Studies of the effects of acoustic overexposure typically report high variability. Though it is impossible to tell, the data so far also suggest there may be considerable species differences in the degree of damage and the time course and extent of recovery. To examine this issue, we exposed four species of birds (quail, budgerigars, canaries, and zebra finches) to identical conditions of acoustic overstimulation and systematically analyzed changes in hearing sensitivity, basilar papilla morphology, and hair cell number. Quail and budgerigars showed the greatest susceptibility to threshold shift and hair cell loss after overstimulation with either pure tone or bandpass noise, while identical types of overstimulation in canaries and zebra finches resulted in much less of a threshold shift and a smaller, more diffuse hair cell loss. All four species showed some recovery of threshold sensitivity and hair cell number over time. Canary and zebra finch hearing and hair cell number recovered to within normal limits while quail and budgerigars continued to have an approximately 20 dB threshold shift and incomplete recovery of hair cell number. In a final experiment, birds were exposed to identical wide-band noise overstimulation under conditions of artificial middle ear ventilation. Hair cell loss was substantially increased in both budgerigars and canaries suggesting that middle ear air pressure regulation and correlated changes in middle ear transfer function are one factor influencing susceptibility to acoustic overstimulation in small birds. ß 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

The objective of this study was to measure the ability of a new paste-liquid RMGI to reduce fluid flow through human dentin, compared to an established single-bottle nanofilled total etch resin adhesive indicated for root desensitization.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/24305500" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="ffc24f03fd6902c2a30f4fbb2f0dff85" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":44640308,"asset_id":24305500,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44640308/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="46852222" href="https://independent.academia.edu/KelliAgee">Kelli Agee</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="46852222" type="text/json">{"id":46852222,"first_name":"Kelli","last_name":"Agee","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"KelliAgee","display_name":"Kelli Agee","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/KelliAgee?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_24305500 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="24305500"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 24305500, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_24305500", });

Wet foams produced by this method can be stabilized by longchain surfactants or by colloidal particles. In this work, we investigate the processing of particle-stabilized wet foams into crack-free macroporous ceramics. The processing steps are discussed with particular emphasis on the consolidation and drying process of wet foams. Macroporous alumina ceramics prepared using different consolidation and drying methods are compared in terms of their final microstructure, porosity, and compressive strength. Consolidation of the wet foam by particle coagulation before drying resulted in porous alumina with a closed-cell structure, a porosity of 86.5%, an average cell size of 35 lm, and a remarkable compressive strength of 16.3 MPa. On the other hand, wet foams consolidated via gelation of the liquid within the foam lamella led to porous structures with interconnected cells in the size range from 100 to 150 lm. The tailored microstructure and high mechanical strength of the macroporous ceramics can be of interest for the manufacture of bio-scaffolds, thermal insulators, impact absorbers, separation membranes, and light weight ceramics.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/31507112" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="3096c0680ccec2c21618bc07cd1503df" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":51853004,"asset_id":31507112,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/51853004/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="26134548" href="https://ethz.academia.edu/LudwigGauckler">Ludwig J Gauckler</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="26134548" type="text/json">{"id":26134548,"first_name":"Ludwig","last_name":"Gauckler","domain_name":"ethz","page_name":"LudwigGauckler","display_name":"Ludwig J Gauckler","profile_url":"https://ethz.academia.edu/LudwigGauckler?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/26134548/15784186/16311381/s65_ludwig.gauckler.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_31507112 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="31507112"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 31507112, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_31507112", });

Wet foams produced by this method can be stabilized by longchain surfactants or by colloidal particles. In this work, we investigate the processing of particle-stabilized wet foams into crack-free macroporous ceramics. The processing steps are discussed with particular emphasis on the consolidation and drying process of wet foams. Macroporous alumina ceramics prepared using different consolidation and drying methods are compared in terms of their final microstructure, porosity, and compressive strength. Consolidation of the wet foam by particle coagulation before drying resulted in porous alumina with a closed-cell structure, a porosity of 86.5%, an average cell size of 35 lm, and a remarkable compressive strength of 16.3 MPa. On the other hand, wet foams consolidated via gelation of the liquid within the foam lamella led to porous structures with interconnected cells in the size range from 100 to 150 lm. The tailored microstructure and high mechanical strength of the macroporous ceramics can be of interest for the manufacture of bio-scaffolds, thermal insulators, impact absorbers, separation membranes, and light weight ceramics.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":51853004,"asset_id":31507112,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":26134548,"first_name":"Ludwig","last_name":"Gauckler","domain_name":"ethz","page_name":"LudwigGauckler","display_name":"Ludwig J Gauckler","profile_url":"https://ethz.academia.edu/LudwigGauckler?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/26134548/15784186/16311381/s65_ludwig.gauckler.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":56,"name":"Materials Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Materials_Engineering?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":60,"name":"Mechanical Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mechanical_Engineering?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":2161,"name":"Microstructure","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Microstructure?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":129447,"name":"Drying","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Drying?f_ri=10655"},{"id":161176,"name":"The","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/The?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1370544,"name":"Colloidal Suspension","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Colloidal_Suspension?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_45034132" data-work_id="45034132" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/45034132/Materialising_Ancestral_Madang_Pottery_Production_and_Subsistence_Trading_on_the_Northeast_Coast_of_New_Guinea">Materialising Ancestral Madang: Pottery Production and Subsistence Trading on the Northeast Coast of New Guinea</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">Permanent link to open access version: <a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10523/10586" rel="nofollow">http://hdl.handle.net/10523/10586</a> Materialising Ancestral Madang documents the emergence of pottery production processes and exchange networks along the northeast coast of New Guinea during the last... <a class="more_link u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" data-container=".work_45034132" data-show=".complete" data-hide=".summarized" data-more-link-behavior="true" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">Permanent link to open access version: <a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10523/10586" rel="nofollow">http://hdl.handle.net/10523/10586</a><br /><br />Materialising Ancestral Madang documents the emergence of pottery production processes and exchange networks along the northeast coast of New Guinea during the last millennium before the present. This dynamic period in the Pacific’s human past involved important fluctuations to people’s mobility, social interaction, and technological organisation. It therefore remains crucial to understanding and historicising the expansive maritime subsistence trading networks that famously characterised the coast in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book investigates these transformations by exploring the archaeology of Madang District; the heart of the Madang exchange network that revolved around the production and distribution of distinctive red-slipped pots. Potsherds of this style have been previously found spanning a 200 km radius, reaching Karkar Island, the Bismarck Archipelago, and even the New Guinea Highlands. By combining archaeological survey, excavation, craft ethnography, and archaeometric analyses, the volume systematically delineates the production groups that were working within this broader community of practice. The study shows that pre-colonial potters made use of a range of local raw materials and were free to improvise with their forming and decorating techniques but learned and reproduced similar technological sequences over the past 500–600 years. It is likely that social restrictions permitted only potters from a small number of clans to produce ceramics and that the finished vessels were then distributed both informally within the local area and strategically during extensive trade voyages along the northeast coast of New Guinea. These results therefore cast light on an important but previously obscured aspect of Pacific culture history and provide a model for how craft production and exchange processes have manifested and co-modified across the generations</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/45034132" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="bea36f8ed0036b90cb50ba3cfad1ddbb" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":65584825,"asset_id":45034132,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65584825/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="4106300" href="https://oxford.academia.edu/DylanGaffney">Dylan Gaffney</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="4106300" type="text/json">{"id":4106300,"first_name":"Dylan","last_name":"Gaffney","domain_name":"oxford","page_name":"DylanGaffney","display_name":"Dylan Gaffney","profile_url":"https://oxford.academia.edu/DylanGaffney?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/4106300/9871257/11003639/s65_dylan.gaffney.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_45034132 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="45034132"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 45034132, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_45034132", });

Titanium isopropoxide and aqueous titania sol prepared by low-temperature sol–gel processing were used as a source of titania. Characterization by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) has been carried out to investigate the chemical framework and morphology of powders. The photocatalytic degradation of isopropanol in the gaseous medium was selected as a probe reaction to test the photoactivity of powders and to verify the potential application of these materials for air remediation. It was found that the titania source, Ti/Si molar ratio and the type of silica support influenced the functional properties of the material, which were evaluated by adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity in the gas–solid reactor. The adsorption capacity of isopropanol was the highest in the presence of the SBA-15-supported materials. The photoactivity results indicated that the powders which were prepared using SBA-15 as a silica support and a Ti/Si molar ratio of 1/1 were the most active towards isopropanol oxidation monitored in situ by FT-IR spectroscopy.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/10923669" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="cd351edc6f588a6a0d2b1cf52743e583" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":47021678,"asset_id":10923669,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47021678/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="26493895" href="https://independent.academia.edu/Ur%C5%A1ka%C5%A0tangar">Urška Štangar</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="26493895" type="text/json">{"id":26493895,"first_name":"Urška","last_name":"Štangar","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"UrškaŠtangar","display_name":"Urška Štangar","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/Ur%C5%A1ka%C5%A0tangar?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_10923669 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="10923669"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 10923669, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_10923669", });

Characterization by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) has been carried out to investigate the chemical framework and morphology of powders. The photocatalytic degradation of isopropanol in the gaseous medium was selected as a probe reaction to test the photoactivity of powders and to verify the potential application of these materials for air remediation.

Room temperature conductivity of PEGDA/PVdF blend films was found to be comparable to that of PVdF-HFP gel polymer electrolytes, and they were electrochemically stable up to 4.6 V vs. Li/Li ϩ. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that PEGDA/PVdF blend electrolytes have pore size intermediate between dense PEGDA and highly porous PVdF-HFP. It was confirmed by weight change measurement that liquid electrolyte was likely to evaporate through large pores in PVdF-HFP at 80°C, while PEGDA/PVdF blend showed better liquid electrolyte retention ability. This result was in good agreement with more stable interfacial properties of PEGDA/PVdF blend at 80°C in ac impedance analysis. Consequently, both PVdF-HFP and PEGDA/PVdF gel polymer electrolytes delivered similar discharge capacity at room temperature, but PEGDA/PVdF blend gel polymer electrolyte showed much better cycle performance than pure PVdF-HFP at 80°C.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/67112966" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="2f50c95066011e95df04729c406be9b9" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":78053154,"asset_id":67112966,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/78053154/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="163788081" href="https://independent.academia.edu/PopovBranko">Branko Popov</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="163788081" type="text/json">{"id":163788081,"first_name":"Branko","last_name":"Popov","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"PopovBranko","display_name":"Branko Popov","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/PopovBranko?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_67112966 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="67112966"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 67112966, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_67112966", });

filling materials.Methodology For marginal seal, Class I cavities, including endodontic access preparations, were made in human molar teeth and restored using one or other of several temporary filling materials (n = 10): zinc oxide/calcium sulphate-based cement (Cavit, 3M,ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA), zinc oxide/eugenol cement (IRM, Dentsply Caulk, Milford, DE, USA), glass ionomer cement (Vidrion R, SSWhite, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil) or a dimethacrylate-based filling (Bioplic, Biodinâmica, Londrina, PR, Brazil). Dye penetration was assessed after thermocycling and immersion in 0.5% basic fuchsine solution. For water sorption, solubility and loss of mass analyses, disc-shaped specimens were made. Water sorption and solubility were evaluated by mass alteration after storage in distilled water for 7 days (n = 7). Loss of mass was calculated based on the difference of mass after abrasion with a toothbrush (n = 5), and surfaces were analysed by SEM. Data of water sorption, solubility and loss of mass were submitted to anova and Tukey’s test, and marginal sealing data to Kruskal–Wallis test (P < 0.05).Results Statistically significant differences were observed for marginal sealing (P < 0.0001), water sorption (P < 0.01), solubility (P < 0.01) and loss of mass (P < 0.05). Bioplic had the best marginal seal. Cavit had the greatest water sorption and solubility. Vidrion R and Bioplic had the lowest solubility. Loss of mass after brushing was higher for Cavit, followed by Bioplic, IRM and Vidrion R. Cavit and Vidrion R were worn aggressively by brushing.Conclusions The resin-based temporary filling Bioplic produced the best marginal seal, and was associated with the lowest water sorption, solubility and loss of mass.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/9029286" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="083de225a94ada0b1a2950cb0808fb55" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":47909001,"asset_id":9029286,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47909001/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="20343513" href="https://independent.academia.edu/Rafaelrodriguesmoraes">Rafael rodrigues moraes</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="20343513" type="text/json">{"id":20343513,"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"rodrigues moraes","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"Rafaelrodriguesmoraes","display_name":"Rafael rodrigues moraes","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/Rafaelrodriguesmoraes?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_9029286 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="9029286"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 9029286, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_9029286", });

Dye penetration was assessed after thermocycling and immersion in 0.5% basic fuchsine solution. For water sorption, solubility and loss of mass analyses, disc-shaped specimens were made. Water sorption and solubility were evaluated by mass alteration after storage in distilled water for 7 days (n = 7). Loss of mass was calculated based on the difference of mass after abrasion with a toothbrush (n = 5), and surfaces were analysed by SEM. Data of water sorption, solubility and loss of mass were submitted to anova and Tukey’s test, and marginal sealing data to Kruskal–Wallis test (P \u003c 0.05).Results Statistically significant differences were observed for marginal sealing (P \u003c 0.0001), water sorption (P \u003c 0.01), solubility (P \u003c 0.01) and loss of mass (P \u003c 0.05). Bioplic had the best marginal seal. Cavit had the greatest water sorption and solubility. Vidrion R and Bioplic had the lowest solubility. Loss of mass after brushing was higher for Cavit, followed by Bioplic, IRM and Vidrion R. Cavit and Vidrion R were worn aggressively by brushing.Conclusions The resin-based temporary filling Bioplic produced the best marginal seal, and was associated with the lowest water sorption, solubility and loss of mass.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":47909001,"asset_id":9029286,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":20343513,"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"rodrigues moraes","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"Rafaelrodriguesmoraes","display_name":"Rafael rodrigues moraes","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/Rafaelrodriguesmoraes?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":596,"name":"Dentistry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dentistry?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":2215,"name":"Water","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Water?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":39752,"name":"Adsorption","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Adsorption?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":58032,"name":"Zinc Oxide","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Zinc_Oxide?f_ri=10655"},{"id":133177,"name":"Temperature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Temperature?f_ri=10655"},{"id":162983,"name":"Absorption","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Absorption?f_ri=10655"},{"id":205584,"name":"Solubility","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Solubility?f_ri=10655"},{"id":413195,"name":"Time Factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Time_Factors?f_ri=10655"},{"id":440924,"name":"Surface Properties","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Surface_Properties?f_ri=10655"},{"id":561011,"name":"Root Canal Filling Materials","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Root_Canal_Filling_Materials?f_ri=10655"},{"id":678833,"name":"Dental Bonding","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dental_Bonding?f_ri=10655"},{"id":783947,"name":"Endodontic","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Endodontic?f_ri=10655"},{"id":845844,"name":"Polymethyl Methacrylates","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Polymethyl_Methacrylates?f_ri=10655"},{"id":892969,"name":"Materials Testing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Materials_Testing?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1344950,"name":"Calcium Sulfate","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Calcium_Sulfate?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1557306,"name":"Resin Cements","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Resin_Cements?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_16410649 coauthored" data-work_id="16410649" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/16410649/Reactions_of_Co2_CO_8_and_of_Co2_CO_6L_L_3_pentyn_1_ol_1_4_butyn_diol_or_2_methyl_3_butyn_2_ol_with_2_diphenylphosphino_ethyl_trietoxysilane_and_tris_hydroxymethyl_phosphine_for_applications_to_new_sol_gel_materials">Reactions of Co2(CO)8 and of Co2(CO)6L (L=3-pentyn-1-ol, 1,4-butyn-diol or 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol) with 2(diphenylphosphino)ethyl-trietoxysilane and tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine for applications to new sol–gel materials</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">The complex Co 2 (CO) 6 [l-g 2 -(H 3 CC"CCH 2 CH 2 OH)] (1) with the ligand 3-pentyn-1-ol (pol) has been synthesized following established procedures.

A four-factor-five-level central composite design was employed for experimental design and analysis of the results. Maximum cellulase activity (CMCase was 28.96 U g −1) can be attained at the optimum conditions, 16.8 mm bagasse bed height, 60% moisture content, pH 4.25 and temperature 40 • C in the solid state fermenter. These data were rather close to the experimental results obtained (CMCase was 28.84 U g −1). A. nidulans MTCC344 was able to hydrolyze pretreated bagasse completely after 8 days of incubation with significant endo ␤-1,4 glucanase activities. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of bagasse showed structural changes through pretreatment, in favor of enzymatic hydrolysis. Bagasse with alkali pretreatment using sodium hydroxide is a source of lignocelluloses able to improve the yield of endo ␤-1,4 glucanase by the strain of A. nidulans. The endo ␤-1,4 glucanase produced during the bioconversion of cellulose to glucose by A. nidulans MTCC344 is strongly dependent on the pretreatment given before hydrolysis.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/78533385" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="7d3e62e782bbaeeff3c7ab57892a6ca6" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":85548360,"asset_id":78533385,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85548360/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="4632099" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ValliSyamkumar">Valli Syam kumar</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="4632099" type="text/json">{"id":4632099,"first_name":"Valli","last_name":"Syam kumar","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"ValliSyamkumar","display_name":"Valli Syam kumar","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/ValliSyamkumar?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_78533385 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="78533385"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 78533385, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_78533385", });

A four-factor-five-level central composite design was employed for experimental design and analysis of the results. Maximum cellulase activity (CMCase was 28.96 U g −1) can be attained at the optimum conditions, 16.8 mm bagasse bed height, 60% moisture content, pH 4.25 and temperature 40 • C in the solid state fermenter. These data were rather close to the experimental results obtained (CMCase was 28.84 U g −1). A. nidulans MTCC344 was able to hydrolyze pretreated bagasse completely after 8 days of incubation with significant endo ␤-1,4 glucanase activities. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of bagasse showed structural changes through pretreatment, in favor of enzymatic hydrolysis.

However, the effectiveness of different therapies has often relied on subjective methods of assessment. Histologic analysis has seldom been used because of the drawback of permanent scarring. In the literature, the use of a quantitative method for the assessment of facial rejuvenation has been described: the silicone replica technique. The authors&#39; aim was to promote and recommend the use of this technique and, in particular, to test the effect of glycolic acid and multivitamin- and antioxidant-based products on skin texture.

Vitamins A, C, and E should stimulate collagen production and antioxidants should prevent free radical damage and skin aging. However, the effectiveness of different therapies has often relied on subjective methods of assessment. Histologic analysis has seldom been used because of the drawback of permanent scarring. In the literature, the use of a quantitative method for the assessment of facial rejuvenation has been described: the silicone replica technique. The authors\u0026#39; aim was to promote and recommend the use of this technique and, in particular, to test the effect of glycolic acid and multivitamin- and antioxidant-based products on skin texture. The authors performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study on 30 women treated topically in the outer canthal region (crow\u0026#39;s-feet area).

Methods: Sodium alginate nanospheres of amphotericin B were prepared by controlled gellification method, and the particle size analysis was carried out by scanning electron microscopy. The carrier capacity of sodium alginate was evaluated in terms of drug to polymer ratio. In vitro release study was carried out on all drug loaded nanospheres by the dialysis method. Release kinetics of drug from different drug loaded nanospheres was also determined. The in vivo antifungal efficacy of nanospheres bound drug vis-à-vis the free drug was evaluated in candidiasis-induced mice models. Results: Preparation of nanospheres through controlled gellification method yielded particles with a size range of 419.6 ± 0.28 nm. Studies on drug to polymer ratio showed a linear relationship between concentration of drug and drug loading capacity. In vitro release kinetic study revealed that the release of drug from the nanospheres followed Fickian diffusion. In vivo studies showed that the nanospherebound drug produced a higher antifungal efficacy than the free drug. Conclusion: The formulated sodium alginate nanospheres containing amphotericin B was found to have better antifungal activity when compared to the free drug and also yielded sustained in vitro release.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/61558834" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="c2da1a7e552744a56e5ff44357f2ca9b" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":74556015,"asset_id":61558834,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74556015/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="41984896" href="https://jsspharma.academia.edu/NAGASAMYVENKATESH">NAGASAMY VENKATESH</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="41984896" type="text/json">{"id":41984896,"first_name":"NAGASAMY","last_name":"VENKATESH","domain_name":"jsspharma","page_name":"NAGASAMYVENKATESH","display_name":"NAGASAMY VENKATESH","profile_url":"https://jsspharma.academia.edu/NAGASAMYVENKATESH?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/41984896/26752626/25239832/s65_nagasamy.venkatesh.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_61558834 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="61558834"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 61558834, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_61558834", });

The purified enzyme showed two protein bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with molecular mass of 75 and 78 kDa. The enzyme exhibited optimum pH and temperature at 5.0 and 50 o C, respectively. The enzyme was active on the substrates of p-nitrophenyl-Nacetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (pNP-GlcNAc) and p-nitrophenyl-Nacetyl-β-D-galactosaminide (pNP-GalNAc), whereas inactive on pNP-β-D-glucopyranoside, pNP-β-D-galactopyranoside, swollen chitin, and colloidal chitin, suggesting high substrate specificity. The enzyme activity for pNP-GlcNAc was stable at pH 3-6 and under 50 o C. The K m , V max and K cat for pNP-GlcNAc were 0.014 mM, 0.05 µmol/min, and 3.01×10 6 min −1 , respectively. The enzyme could be completely inhibited at 1-10 mM HgCl 2 and AgNO 3, suggesting that the intact thiol group is essential for activity. β-N-Acetylhexosaminidase from wheat bran could inhibit the conidial germination and digest the hyphae of Fusarium solani.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/4850860" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="fe1fca1f1a4c9a44f690801b57e6a296" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":49601086,"asset_id":4850860,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/49601086/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="6294908" href="https://udec-cl.academia.edu/HansSalinas">Hans Salinas</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="6294908" type="text/json">{"id":6294908,"first_name":"Hans","last_name":"Salinas","domain_name":"udec-cl","page_name":"HansSalinas","display_name":"Hans Salinas","profile_url":"https://udec-cl.academia.edu/HansSalinas?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_4850860 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="4850860"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 4850860, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_4850860", });

Variations in CaP composition can lead to different dissolution/precipitation behavior and may also affect the bone response. In the present study calcium pyrophosphate and hydroxylapatite coatings were successfully prepared by RF magnetron sputtering deposition. The phase composition, morphological properties, and the dissolution in SBF were characterized by using XRD, FTIR, EDS, SEM, and spectrophotometry. The results showed that all the sputtered coatings were amorphous and changed into a crystal structure after IR-radiation. The temperature for the crystallization of the amor-phous coatings is lower for the hydroxylapatite coating (550°C), compared to the calcium pyrophosphate coating (650°C). All sputtered amorphous coatings were instable in SBF and dissolved partially within 4 wks of incubation. The heat-treated coatings appeared to be stable after incubation. These results showed that magnetron sputtering of calcium pyrophosphate coating is a promising method for forming a biocompatible ceramic coating.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/29043782" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="9dd2a0d0822a3e6139677e6c39a18f30" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":49497097,"asset_id":29043782,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/49497097/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="54603056" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JoopWolke">Joop Wolke</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="54603056" type="text/json">{"id":54603056,"first_name":"Joop","last_name":"Wolke","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"JoopWolke","display_name":"Joop Wolke","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JoopWolke?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_29043782 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="29043782"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 29043782, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_29043782", });

These results showed that magnetron sputtering of calcium pyrophosphate coating is a promising method for forming a biocompatible ceramic coating.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":49497097,"asset_id":29043782,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":54603056,"first_name":"Joop","last_name":"Wolke","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"JoopWolke","display_name":"Joop Wolke","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JoopWolke?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":47884,"name":"Biological Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biological_Sciences?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":50630,"name":"Crystal structure","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Crystal_structure?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":204064,"name":"Magnetron Sputtering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Magnetron_Sputtering?f_ri=10655"},{"id":335874,"name":"Magnetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Magnetics?f_ri=10655"},{"id":386527,"name":"X ray diffraction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/X_ray_diffraction?f_ri=10655"},{"id":398650,"name":"Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fourier_transform_infrared_spectroscopy?f_ri=10655"},{"id":806075,"name":"Radio Waves","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radio_Waves?f_ri=10655"},{"id":925321,"name":"Rf-Magnetron Sputtering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Rf-Magnetron_Sputtering?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1768937,"name":"Ceramic Coating","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ceramic_Coating?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_6487776" data-work_id="6487776" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/6487776/Studies_on_Zinc_Oxide_Nanorods_Grown_by_Electron_Beam_Evaporation_Technique">Studies on Zinc Oxide Nanorods Grown by Electron Beam Evaporation Technique</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">Nanocrystalline zinc oxide-thin films have drawn the attention of researchers due to its attractive properties like transparency in visible region, abundance in nature and gas sensitivity.

Nanostructured Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were grown on silicon, alumina and glass substrates at various substrate temperatures using a 6 kW electron beam evaporation technique. The effects of film thickness, growth temperature and substrate on the crystallinity of deposited ZnO films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, optical absorption and photoluminescence studies. Our studies show that good quality films are obtained for silicon substrate for a growth temperature of 2508 8 8 8 8C. Film thickness plays an important role on the evolution of the nanostructures. SEM studies combined with XRD analysis reveal that ultrathin nanorods are grown with (002), (101) and (102) orientations. All the ZnO films show room temperature photoluminescence emission bands at 394 nm and 468 nm. Optical absorption studies show strong absorption at 377 nm. Details of the structure and optical properties correlation will be presented and potential of a simple technique such as e-beam deposition to grown ZnO nanostructures suitable for optoelectronic application will be assessed.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/6487776" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="a92191fe923f6ac4e710fdb6c67382ba" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":48846969,"asset_id":6487776,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/48846969/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="9214095" href="https://independent.academia.edu/DrKeyurPatel">Dr. Keyur Patel</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="9214095" type="text/json">{"id":9214095,"first_name":"Dr. Keyur","last_name":"Patel","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"DrKeyurPatel","display_name":"Dr. Keyur Patel","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/DrKeyurPatel?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/9214095/2966941/3479010/s65_dr._keyur.patel.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_6487776 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="6487776"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 6487776, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_6487776", });

HDPE poses severe environmental threats and hence the ability of fungal isolates was proved to utilize virgin polyethylene as the carbon source without any pre-treatment and pro-oxidant additives.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":47020594,"asset_id":26740830,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":4400604,"first_name":"Robert","last_name":"Antony","domain_name":"bdu","page_name":"RobertAntony","display_name":"Robert Antony","profile_url":"https://bdu.academia.edu/RobertAntony?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/4400604/1785362/14624076/s65_robert.antony.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2187,"name":"Biofilms","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biofilms?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":5303,"name":"Carbon","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Carbon?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":28235,"name":"Multidisciplinary","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Multidisciplinary?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":43838,"name":"India","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/India?f_ri=10655"},{"id":45504,"name":"Aspergillus","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Aspergillus?f_ri=10655"},{"id":49088,"name":"Biodegradation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biodegradation?f_ri=10655"},{"id":82978,"name":"Reactive Oxygen Species","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Reactive_Oxygen_Species?f_ri=10655"},{"id":168694,"name":"Polyethylene","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Polyethylene?f_ri=10655"},{"id":325872,"name":"Hdpe","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hdpe?f_ri=10655"},{"id":373754,"name":"Ecosystem","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ecosystem?f_ri=10655"},{"id":398650,"name":"Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fourier_transform_infrared_spectroscopy?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_26173652" data-work_id="26173652" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/26173652/Scanning_electron_microscopy_studies_on_surfaces_from_electrothermal_atomic_absorption_spectrometry_IV_Total_pyrolytic_graphite_tubes">Scanning electron microscopy studies on surfaces from electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry-IV.

The inner surface of TPG tubes was found to be fairly rough due to adhering residues of the polycrystalline electrographite substrate on which they were deposited. These residues were vaporized on subsequent dry heating of the tube and recondensed on the tube surface in the form of nodules and flakes. The residues disappeared entirely when the tube was heated with an analyte solution. All experiments were continued for about 550 atomization cycles, and all tubes appeared to be in good condition at that point. The sensitivity for vanadium in dilute nitric acid and for molybdenum in iron, however, had decreased by about 50% during the experiment. The signal for phosphorus in the presence of lanthanum as the modifier disappeared almost entirely and that for copper in perchloric acid was very erratic throughout the experiment. However, it was not always possible to correlate a change in analytical performance with a visible corrosion pattern. The absence of any secondary carbon coating on the inner surface of the TPG tubes was considered to be the main reason for the inconsistency of analytical signals. Primary faults caused by irregular crystal growth were found to be the most likely locations for corrosive attack. Delamination, exfoliation and pitting were the types of corrosion found in all tubes, the extent, however, was dependent on the matrix used in a particular experiment.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/26173652" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="4e71a26332bfaf4559c6865e4486bbd1" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46500039,"asset_id":26173652,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46500039/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="99447" href="https://unileoben.academia.edu/WolfhardWegscheider">Wolfhard Wegscheider</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="99447" type="text/json">{"id":99447,"first_name":"Wolfhard","last_name":"Wegscheider","domain_name":"unileoben","page_name":"WolfhardWegscheider","display_name":"Wolfhard Wegscheider","profile_url":"https://unileoben.academia.edu/WolfhardWegscheider?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_26173652 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="26173652"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 26173652, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_26173652", });

The potential for delivering NO in therapeutic quantities is tenable since the nitrosyl ruthenium complex (NRC) must first reach the "target tissue" and then release the NO upon stimulus. In this context, NRC-loaded lipid carriers were developed and characterized to further explore its topical administration for applications such as skin cancer treatment. NRC-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers were prepared via the microemulsification method, with average diameters of 275 ± 15 nm and 211 ± 31 nm and zeta potentials of −40.7 ± 10.4 mV and −50.0 ± 7.5 mV, respectively. In vitro kinetic studies of NRC release from nanoparticles showed sustained release of NRC from the lipid carriers and illustrated the influence of the release medium and the lyophilization process. Stability studies showed that NO is released from NRC as a function of temperature and time and due to skin contact. The encapsulation of NRC in SLN followed by its lyophilization, significantly improved the complex stability. Furthermore, of particular interest was the fact that in the NO photorelease study, the NO release from the NRC-loaded SLN was approximately twice that of just NRC in solution. NRC-loaded SLN performs well enough at releasing and protecting NO degradation in vitro that it is a promising carrier for topical delivery of NO.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/13249193" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="c9cf61bc48e31ec48350fdc175acfbfa" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":45677555,"asset_id":13249193,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/45677555/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="32505938" href="https://independent.academia.edu/RenataFonsecaViannaLopez">Renata Fonseca Vianna Lopez</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="32505938" type="text/json">{"id":32505938,"first_name":"Renata Fonseca Vianna","last_name":"Lopez","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"RenataFonsecaViannaLopez","display_name":"Renata Fonseca Vianna Lopez","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/RenataFonsecaViannaLopez?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-13249193">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-13249193"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/FrancianeMarqueleoliveira">Marilia O F Goulart</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-13249193'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-13249193').html();

NRC-loaded SLN performs well enough at releasing and protecting NO degradation in vitro that it is a promising carrier for topical delivery of NO.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":45677555,"asset_id":13249193,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":32505938,"first_name":"Renata Fonseca Vianna","last_name":"Lopez","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"RenataFonsecaViannaLopez","display_name":"Renata Fonseca Vianna Lopez","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/RenataFonsecaViannaLopez?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"},{"id":32711437,"first_name":"Marilia","last_name":"Goulart","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"FrancianeMarqueleoliveira","display_name":"Marilia O F Goulart","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/FrancianeMarqueleoliveira?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/32711437/150439156/140018535/s65_marilia.goulart.jpeg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":524,"name":"Analytical Chemistry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Analytical_Chemistry?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":4987,"name":"Kinetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kinetics?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":5104,"name":"Photochemistry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Photochemistry?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":13621,"name":"Nanoparticles","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nanoparticles?f_ri=10655"},{"id":25600,"name":"Stability","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Stability?f_ri=10655"},{"id":37782,"name":"Cell Culture","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cell_Culture?f_ri=10655"},{"id":41747,"name":"Dosage Form","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dosage_Form?f_ri=10655"},{"id":52055,"name":"Lipids","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Lipids?f_ri=10655"},{"id":74243,"name":"Skin Cancer","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Skin_Cancer?f_ri=10655"},{"id":93922,"name":"Nitric oxide","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nitric_oxide?f_ri=10655"},{"id":95655,"name":"Pharmaceutical","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Pharmaceutical?f_ri=10655"},{"id":128057,"name":"Light","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Light?f_ri=10655"},{"id":162553,"name":"Skin","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Skin?f_ri=10655"},{"id":180919,"name":"Solid Lipid Nanoparticles","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Solid_Lipid_Nanoparticles?f_ri=10655"},{"id":246560,"name":"High Pressure Liquid Chromatography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/High_Pressure_Liquid_Chromatography?f_ri=10655"},{"id":375078,"name":"Topical Drug Administration","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Topical_Drug_Administration?f_ri=10655"},{"id":405483,"name":"Sustained Drug Release","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sustained_Drug_Release?f_ri=10655"},{"id":419370,"name":"Swine","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Swine?f_ri=10655"},{"id":477101,"name":"Visible Light","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Visible_Light?f_ri=10655"},{"id":983062,"name":"Zeta Potential","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Zeta_Potential?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1031068,"name":"Drug Carriers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Drug_Carriers?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1135814,"name":"Drug Stability","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Drug_Stability?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1933594,"name":"Nitric oxide donors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nitric_oxide_donors?f_ri=10655"},{"id":2177223,"name":"Skin Neoplasms","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Skin_Neoplasms?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_14907489" data-work_id="14907489" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/14907489/Preparation_optimization_and_characterization_of_low_cost_ceramics_for_the_fabrication_of_dense_nickel_composite_membranes">Preparation, optimization and characterization of low cost ceramics for the fabrication of dense nickel composite membranes</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">The aim of the present study was to prepare, optimize and characterize ketoprofen proniosomes.

The niosomes were prepared using a slurry method followed by in vitro evaluation after embedding the proniosomes-derived niosomes into a carbopol matrix. A central, composite Box-Wilson design was used for the optimization with the total lipid concentration (X 1 ), surfactant loading (X 2 ) and amount of drug (X 3 ) as the independent variables. Prepared proniosomes were characterized for percentage drug entrapment (PDE) and mean volume diameter (MVD). Multiple regression analysis and contour plots were used to relate the dependent and independent variables. Checkpoint batches were also prepared to prove the validity of the evolved mathematical model and contour plots. The optimization model predicted the levels of X 1 , X 2 and X 3 (-1, -0.3 and 0.92, respectively), for a maximized response of PDE with constraints of ≤ 5 μm on MVD. Optimized batch was used to prepare a niosomal gel, which showed significantly higher cumulative amount of drug permeated and steady state transdermal flux compared to plain gel. This work has demonstrated the use of the central composite Box-Wilson design, regression analysis, and contour plots in optimizing ketoprofen proniosomes.

These d@erent microtextural parameters were determined by using a single tool: image analysis, which was coupled with optical and electron microscopies. The dtflerent materials tested were based on polypropylene obtained by extrusion and injection steps. For the deferent samples analysed, the processing conditions and the filler concentration were constant, and variability was due to the dtflerent average lengths of the$ller incorporated in the matrix. The dtrerent filler parameters were determined with particular emphasis on the techniques of dispersion characterisation. The techniques developed in this study were based on image analysis. They enabled us to estimate filler-size distribution and development of the three-dimensional orientation inside the material and between direrent samples. The development of the filler dispersion was also made apparent. In addition, the relationships obtained between the direrent microtextural parameters were investigated. The general conclusion is that image analysis is very suitable for characterisation of this kind of material. 0 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

These d@erent microtextural parameters were determined by using a single tool: image analysis, which was coupled with optical and electron microscopies. The dtflerent materials tested were based on polypropylene obtained by extrusion and injection steps. For the deferent samples analysed, the processing conditions and the filler concentration were constant, and variability was due to the dtflerent average lengths of the$ller incorporated in the matrix. The dtrerent filler parameters were determined with particular emphasis on the techniques of dispersion characterisation. The techniques developed in this study were based on image analysis. They enabled us to estimate filler-size distribution and development of the three-dimensional orientation inside the material and between direrent samples. The development of the filler dispersion was also made apparent. In addition, the relationships obtained between the direrent microtextural parameters were investigated. The general conclusion is that image analysis is very suitable for characterisation of this kind of material. 0 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The thin films were characterised using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) to determine the film composition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the phases present and structure of each phase, transmittance versus wavelength measurements to determine the energy bandgap and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe the surface topology and topography.

Using the optimised conditions it is possible to produce thin films of tin sulphide that are pinhole free and conformal to the substrate that are suitable for use in thin film solar cell structures.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":79304174,"asset_id":69062078,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":7255623,"first_name":"Ian","last_name":"Forbes","domain_name":"northumbria","page_name":"IanForbes","display_name":"Ian Forbes","profile_url":"https://northumbria.academia.edu/IanForbes?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":511,"name":"Materials Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Materials_Science?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":923,"name":"Technology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Technology?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":7766,"name":"Solar Cell","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Solar_Cell?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655"},{"id":101573,"name":"Thin Film","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thin_Film?f_ri=10655"},{"id":118582,"name":"Physical sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Physical_sciences?f_ri=10655"},{"id":129753,"name":"Thin Film Solar Cell","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thin_Film_Solar_Cell?f_ri=10655"},{"id":230127,"name":"Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Energy_Dispersive_X-Ray_Analysis?f_ri=10655"},{"id":386527,"name":"X ray diffraction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/X_ray_diffraction?f_ri=10655"},{"id":537242,"name":"Thin Solid Films","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thin_Solid_Films?f_ri=10655"},{"id":837190,"name":"Thermal Evaporation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thermal_Evaporation?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_72671015" data-work_id="72671015" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/72671015/Is_Scanning_Electron_Microscopy_Energy_Dispersive_X_ray_Spectrometry_SEM_EDS_Quantitative">Is Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (SEM/EDS) Quantitative?</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) is a widely applied elemental microanalysis method capable of identifying and quantifying all elements in the periodic table except H, He, and Li.

Significant findings revealed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images include: (1) the pre-antennal lobes represent the anterior-most segment that does not bear any appendages; (2) each of the lobes consists of central and marginal regions; (3) the central region thereof develops into the protocerebrum and the optic lobes, whereas the marginal region thereof becomes the anterior portion of the head capsule; (4) the initial position of the antennal segment is posterior to the mouth region; (5) appendage anlagen are transitorily present in the intercalary segment, and they later vanish together with the segment itself; (6) a bulged sternum appears to develop from the ventral surface of the mandibular, maxillary and labial segments. Embryonic features are then compared across the Insecta and further extended to the embryos of a spider (Araneae, Chelicerata). Striking similarities shared by the anterior-most region of the insect and spider embryos lead the authors to conclude that such comparison should be further undertaken to cover the entire Euarthropoda. This will help us to understand the embryology and evolution of the arthropod head.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/72999334" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="dae56600301dc0adb17e1dafbbfb5d83" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":81696552,"asset_id":72999334,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/81696552/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="149842244" href="https://lu.academia.edu/DieterWaloszek">Dieter Waloszek</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="149842244" type="text/json">{"id":149842244,"first_name":"Dieter","last_name":"Waloszek","domain_name":"lu","page_name":"DieterWaloszek","display_name":"Dieter Waloszek","profile_url":"https://lu.academia.edu/DieterWaloszek?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_72999334 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="72999334"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 72999334, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_72999334", });

Significant findings revealed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images include: (1) the pre-antennal lobes represent the anterior-most segment that does not bear any appendages; (2) each of the lobes consists of central and marginal regions; (3) the central region thereof develops into the protocerebrum and the optic lobes, whereas the marginal region thereof becomes the anterior portion of the head capsule; (4) the initial position of the antennal segment is posterior to the mouth region; (5) appendage anlagen are transitorily present in the intercalary segment, and they later vanish together with the segment itself; (6) a bulged sternum appears to develop from the ventral surface of the mandibular, maxillary and labial segments. Embryonic features are then compared across the Insecta and further extended to the embryos of a spider (Araneae, Chelicerata).

UV light attenuation, product stability, and potential damage to the skin barrier were examined with both nanoscale and microscale TiO 2 particles.

However most of these experiments studied either tertiary or quaternary glass systems. This study investigated a qinternary system that included titanium dioxide for degradation rate control and zinc that is considered to have a role in bone formation. Zinc and titanium phosphate glass discs of different compositions were melt synthesized and samples of each composition was tested for different physical, chemical and biological characteristics via density measurement, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, mass loss, ion release, scanning electron microscopy, biocompatibility studies via live/dead assays at three time points (day 1, 4, and 7).

In the simple epithelium covering the inner medulla of the renal pelvis, no uroplakins or cytokeratin 20 were detected and cells had microvilli on their apical surface. The epithelium covering the inner band of the outer medulla became pseudostratified, with the upper layer consisting of large cells with stalks connecting them to the basal lamina. Uroplakins and cytokeratin 20 were not expressed in these cells. However, some superficial cells appeared without connections to the basal lamina; these cells expressed uroplakins Ia, Ib, II and III and cytokeratin 20, they contained sparse small uroplakin-positive cytoplasmic vesicles and their apical surface showed both microvilli and ridges. Cytokeratin 20 was seen as dots in the cytoplasm. This epithelium therefore showed partial urothelial differentiation. The epithelium covering the outer band of the outer medulla gradually changed from a twolayered to a three-layered urothelium with typical umbrella cells that contained all four uroplakins. Cytokeratin 20 was organized into a complex network. The epithelium possessed an asymmetric unit membrane at the apical cell surface and fusiform vesicles. Umbrella cells were also observed in the ureter and urinary bladder. In males and females, the urothelium ended in the bladder neck and was continued by a non-keratinized stratified epithelium in the urethra in which no urothelial cell differentiation markers were detected.

Biological sulfate reduction has become an alternative to the classical physicochemical methods. In this study, domestic wastewater (DW) was tested as a cost-effective carbon-source for the remediation of AMD. Sediments from Tinto River, an extreme acidic environment with an elevated concentration of metals, were used as inoculum. Three anaerobic bioreactors with different microbial supports were fed with a 1:10 (v:v) mixture of synthetic AMD:DW.

However, metallic materials can corrode under proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) working conditions, leading to a degradation in the performance of the membrane. Previous work had shown that a polypyrrole coating on SS316L can significantly increase the corrosion resistance of the base material. In this study, a Taguchi design of experiment method was used to optimize the process parameters for the polypyrrole coating so as to produce the maximum corrosion resistance. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests were used to determine the corrosion resistance of the polypyrrole-coated SS316L. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) was used to characterize the coating thickness and coating appearance. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) was used to determine the metal ion concentration in the solution after corrosion.

However, metallic materials can corrode under proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) working conditions, leading to a degradation in the performance of the membrane. Previous work had shown that a polypyrrole coating on SS316L can significantly increase the corrosion resistance of the base material. In this study, a Taguchi design of experiment method was used to optimize the process parameters for the polypyrrole coating so as to produce the maximum corrosion resistance. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests were used to determine the corrosion resistance of the polypyrrole-coated SS316L. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) was used to characterize the coating thickness and coating appearance. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) was used to determine the metal ion concentration in the solution after corrosion. The interfacial contact resistance of SS316L with carbon paper was measured both before and after coating with polypyrrole.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":74139116,"asset_id":60893166,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":33463433,"first_name":"D.","last_name":"Northwood","domain_name":"uwindsor","page_name":"DNorthwood","display_name":"D.

According to the present concept, drug particles are delivered to the lung together with the functional carrier particle that facilitates both the drug transport into the lungs and the penetration of deposited particles through the mucus. The approach of manufacturing multicomponent powders with mucoactive compounds and anti-asthmatic medicines (DSCG) bound together in a single particle is additionally considered. Methods: Powders were produced with the spray-drying technique from aqueous precursor solutions containing pure low molecular weight dextran, pure mannitol and dextran/mannitol-N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) mixtures (4:1 and 1:1). NAC has been selected for this purpose as a compound, which is known to be mucolytic. Dextran and mannitol are potentially applicable in the field of inhalation drug delivery. They have been used as stabilizers of functional carrier particles. Powders were characterized for their yield and physicochemical properties including: morphology (SEM), moisture content and thermal properties (DSC). Aerosol performance was determined with NGI impactor after standardized aerosolization of the produced powders in a commercial DPI. Results: Particle size distributions of dextran-NAC powders were characterized by high fine particle fraction (45-62%), which assures good particle deposition in the lower airways. The thermodynamic properties of the powders based on the temperature of the glass transition T g (50-63 • C) suggest the required stability during storage at moderate humidity. Conclusions: Preliminary examination of the required properties of these particles confirms their potential as functional carriers for pulmonary drug delivery.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/57086611" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="0cb4f394e5207c4a7c709f749d4fd0dc" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":72154527,"asset_id":57086611,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72154527/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="38965902" href="https://independent.academia.edu/TSosnowski">Tomasz Sosnowski</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="38965902" type="text/json">{"id":38965902,"first_name":"Tomasz","last_name":"Sosnowski","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"TSosnowski","display_name":"Tomasz Sosnowski","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/TSosnowski?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_57086611 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="57086611"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 57086611, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_57086611", });

According to the present concept, drug particles are delivered to the lung together with the functional carrier particle that facilitates both the drug transport into the lungs and the penetration of deposited particles through the mucus. The approach of manufacturing multicomponent powders with mucoactive compounds and anti-asthmatic medicines (DSCG) bound together in a single particle is additionally considered. Methods: Powders were produced with the spray-drying technique from aqueous precursor solutions containing pure low molecular weight dextran, pure mannitol and dextran/mannitol-N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) mixtures (4:1 and 1:1). NAC has been selected for this purpose as a compound, which is known to be mucolytic. Dextran and mannitol are potentially applicable in the field of inhalation drug delivery. They have been used as stabilizers of functional carrier particles. Powders were characterized for their yield and physicochemical properties including: morphology (SEM), moisture content and thermal properties (DSC). Aerosol performance was determined with NGI impactor after standardized aerosolization of the produced powders in a commercial DPI. Results: Particle size distributions of dextran-NAC powders were characterized by high fine particle fraction (45-62%), which assures good particle deposition in the lower airways. The thermodynamic properties of the powders based on the temperature of the glass transition T g (50-63 • C) suggest the required stability during storage at moderate humidity.

Low temperature carburization (LTC) of stainless steels is a novel, patented process by Swagelok Company. This paper addresses the corrosion resistance characteristics of LTC SS 316 for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) bipolar plate applications. Corrosion properties of this material were studied using potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests in simulated (1 M H 2 SO 4 + 2 ppm HF, 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , pH: 4.0, and 5% HCl + 5% Na 2 SO 4) PEMFC conditions. LTC SS 316 showed excellent corrosion resistance in these conditions compared to SS 316. The mechanism of anodic dissolution and general corrosion of LTC SS 316 was observed to be similar to SS 316 however the extent of LTC SS 316 corrosion was less. LTC SS 316 showed corrosion currents well below 16 A cm −2 in anodic and cathodic atmospheres under potentiostatic conditions. The potentiostatic current rapidly falls to ∼4.0 and ∼1.5 A cm −2 under anodic and cathodic conditions, respectively. LTC SS 316 was observed to form a thinner oxide layer as compared to SS 316 after 24 h of potentiostatic testing. Moreover LTC SS 316 lowered the interfacial contact resistance by approximately 24% as compared to SS 316 after corrosion testing. Hence this study clearly states the performance advantage of using LTC SS 316 as bipolar plate material as compared to conventional materials.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/48976955" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="19a9e2c2166619f09e50ae82fc6890f0" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":67367711,"asset_id":48976955,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/67367711/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="189252910" href="https://consultant.academia.edu/GerhardSchiroky">Gerhard Schiroky</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="189252910" type="text/json">{"id":189252910,"first_name":"Gerhard","last_name":"Schiroky","domain_name":"consultant","page_name":"GerhardSchiroky","display_name":"Gerhard Schiroky","profile_url":"https://consultant.academia.edu/GerhardSchiroky?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_48976955 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="48976955"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 48976955, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_48976955", });

Low temperature carburization (LTC) of stainless steels is a novel, patented process by Swagelok Company. This paper addresses the corrosion resistance characteristics of LTC SS 316 for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) bipolar plate applications. Corrosion properties of this material were studied using potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests in simulated (1 M H 2 SO 4 + 2 ppm HF, 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , pH: 4.0, and 5% HCl + 5% Na 2 SO 4) PEMFC conditions. LTC SS 316 showed excellent corrosion resistance in these conditions compared to SS 316. The mechanism of anodic dissolution and general corrosion of LTC SS 316 was observed to be similar to SS 316 however the extent of LTC SS 316 corrosion was less. LTC SS 316 showed corrosion currents well below 16 A cm −2 in anodic and cathodic atmospheres under potentiostatic conditions. The potentiostatic current rapidly falls to ∼4.0 and ∼1.5 A cm −2 under anodic and cathodic conditions, respectively. LTC SS 316 was observed to form a thinner oxide layer as compared to SS 316 after 24 h of potentiostatic testing. Moreover LTC SS 316 lowered the interfacial contact resistance by approximately 24% as compared to SS 316 after corrosion testing. Hence this study clearly states the performance advantage of using LTC SS 316 as bipolar plate material as compared to conventional materials.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":67367711,"asset_id":48976955,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":189252910,"first_name":"Gerhard","last_name":"Schiroky","domain_name":"consultant","page_name":"GerhardSchiroky","display_name":"Gerhard Schiroky","profile_url":"https://consultant.academia.edu/GerhardSchiroky?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":4975,"name":"Corrosion Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Corrosion_Science?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10655,"name":"Scanning Electron Microscopy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scanning_Electron_Microscopy?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":10866,"name":"Morphology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Morphology?f_ri=10655","nofollow":true},{"id":27303,"name":"Fuel Cell","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fuel_Cell?f_ri=10655"},{"id":27537,"name":"Corrosion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Corrosion?f_ri=10655"},{"id":31209,"name":"PEM fuel cells","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/PEM_fuel_cells?f_ri=10655"},{"id":46319,"name":"Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Proton_Exchange_Membrane_Fuel_Cells?f_ri=10655"},{"id":118582,"name":"Physical sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Physical_sciences?f_ri=10655"},{"id":128789,"name":"Stainless Steel","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Stainless_Steel?f_ri=10655"},{"id":199105,"name":"PEM fuel cell","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/PEM_fuel_cell?f_ri=10655"},{"id":260118,"name":"CHEMICAL SCIENCES","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/CHEMICAL_SCIENCES?f_ri=10655"},{"id":319122,"name":"Surface Structure","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Surface_Structure?f_ri=10655"},{"id":510928,"name":"Contact Resistance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Contact_Resistance?f_ri=10655"},{"id":616972,"name":"Low Temperature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Low_Temperature?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1202042,"name":"Electric Conductivity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Electric_Conductivity?f_ri=10655"},{"id":1371799,"name":"Corrosion Resistance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Corrosion_Resistance?f_ri=10655"},{"id":2753796,"name":"Cementation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cementation?f_ri=10655"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_47387689" data-work_id="47387689" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/47387689/Characterization_of_the_pattern_of_ischemic_stroke_induced_by_artificial_particle_embolization_in_the_rat_brain">Characterization of the pattern of ischemic stroke induced by artificial particle embolization in the rat brain</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">Embolism is responsible for half of cerebral infarctions, yet few animal models were developed due to the unpredictability of the embolus-induced infarcts.

Results obtained in the unwashed and washed lichen samples showed that the cleaning with water can be used in order to eliminate adhering materials. Indeed, most of elements of interest for the environmental contamination accumulated by the lichens were not<br />removed. SEM images showed particles that are flat, with irregular shape and edges, generally smooth and rounded indicating that the particles deposited were dry aerosol particles.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/39041288" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="864d7be395707a4dac26eca434db61ae" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":59154583,"asset_id":39041288,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/59154583/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="65564700" href="https://unsa-ba.academia.edu/AlmirOlovcic">Almir Olovcic</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="65564700" type="text/json">{"id":65564700,"first_name":"Almir","last_name":"Olovcic","domain_name":"unsa-ba","page_name":"AlmirOlovcic","display_name":"Almir Olovcic","profile_url":"https://unsa-ba.academia.edu/AlmirOlovcic?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/65564700/17080536/19211384/s65_almir.olovcic.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_39041288 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="39041288"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 39041288, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_39041288", });

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) were used to evaluate structural and qualitative characteristics. Thirty single-rooted extracted teeth were treated, root-end prepared, and obturated using MTA and two experimental cements. Fluid filtration was measured during a 5-minute period after 4, 24, and 48 hours and 1, 2, and 12 weeks. The results were statistically compared by using a two-way analysis of variance (p Ͻ 0.05). The marginal adaptation was evaluated by using a SEM replica technique. XRD analyses showed similar patterns. XRF showed lower amounts of SiO 2 and FeO 3 in the experimental cements. All cements showed a reduced fluid flow rate over time. No significant differences were found between the cements. The SEM replica indicated a good marginal adaptation to dentinal walls. Both experimental cements showed suitable properties as retrograde rootfilling materials.

In this study we discuss experimental data about the mesoscopic structure and the crystallographic texture (orientation distribution) of the α-chitin–protein fiber network in this material. The synchrotron measurements reveal very strong crystallographic textures of the α-chitin. According to these data, a large fraction of the α-chitin lattice cells is arranged with their longest axis parallel to the normal of the surface of the exoskeleton. Additionally, a smaller fraction of the α-chitin cells is oriented with their longest axis perpendicular to the cuticle surface. These structural investigations reveal the pronounced role of crystallographic orientation distributions in mineralized biological composite materials which may be of relevance for an improved understanding of biological and bio-inspired nano-composites.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/3407557" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="46307db27b42be107d82a5685b31b65e" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":50295892,"asset_id":3407557,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50295892/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="2725728" href="https://mpie.academia.edu/DierkRaabe">Dierk Raabe</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="2725728" type="text/json">{"id":2725728,"first_name":"Dierk","last_name":"Raabe","domain_name":"mpie","page_name":"DierkRaabe","display_name":"Dierk Raabe","profile_url":"https://mpie.academia.edu/DierkRaabe?f_ri=10655","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/2725728/879123/3881237/s65_dierk.raabe.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_3407557 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="3407557"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 3407557, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_3407557", });

We also have found this new disease associated with morbidity and mortality in wild and captive anurans from additional locations in Australia and Central America. This is the first report of parasitism of a vertebrate by a member of the phylum Chytridiomycota. Experimental data support the conclusion that cutaneous chytridiomycosis is a fatal disease of anurans, and we hypothesize that it is the proximate cause of these recent amphibian declines.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/3509868" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="9fafb1cb6df6834b76d73e54e0883cfd" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":50256725,"asset_id":3509868,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50256725/download_file?st=MTczOTgwOTE1OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="4131363" href="https://independent.academia.edu/dipputradi">dip putradi</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="4131363" type="text/json">{"id":4131363,"first_name":"dip","last_name":"putradi","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"dipputradi","display_name":"dip putradi","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/dipputradi?f_ri=10655","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_3509868 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="3509868"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 3509868, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_3509868", });

Chytridiales) were found in sick and dead adult anurans collected from montane rain forests in Queensland (Australia) and Panama during mass mortality events associated with significant population declines. We also have found this new disease associated with morbidity and mortality in wild and captive anurans from additional locations in Australia and Central America. This is the first report of parasitism of a vertebrate by a member of the phylum Chytridiomycota. Experimental data support the conclusion that cutaneous chytridiomycosis is a fatal disease of anurans, and we hypothesize that it is the proximate cause of these recent amphibian declines.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50256725,"asset_id":3509868,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":4131363,"first_name":"dip","last_name":"putradi","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"dipputradi","display_name":"dip
