Objectives: One of the causes of dental caries that occurs due to orthodontic treatment is the lack of antibacterial properties in orthodontic adhesive.This study was designated to investigate the effect of orthodontic resin modified by incorporating Nano GUM POMEGRANATE MINT Cinnamon powder on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets.Materi

In cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of radiation-sensitive biological samples, both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast of images are critically important in the image-processing pipeline.Classic methods improve low-frequency image contrast experimentally, by imaging with high defocus, or computationally, by applying various typ

Hepatitis viruses are primary causative agents of hepatitis and represent a major source of public health problems in the world.The host innate immune system forms the first line of defense against hepatitis viruses.Hepatitis viruses are sensed by specific pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) that subsequently trigger the innate immune response an

Safety Goggles Responses of an axial compressor isolated rotor blade row to various inlet distortions have been investigated utilizing computational fluid dynamic technique.Distortions have been imposed by five screens of different geometries, but with the same blockage ratio.These screens were embedded upstream of the rotor blade row.Flow fields a
