Effect of ultrasound on bond strength and penetration of resin and ionomeric cements used for fiberglass post cementation

The objective of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of fiberglass posts (Reforpost ®) cemented with RelyX U200 and RelyX Luting 2, with (A) and without (WA) ultrasonic activation in the root canal of bovine teeth. The penetration of the cements into dentine tubules was also assessed. Methods: Forty bovine incisors were selected and endodontically treated, and then divided into 4 groups (n = 10). Fiberglass posts were cemented with RelyX U200 and RelyX Luting 2 and activated with an ITSMO ultrasound insert in 2 groups; the other two groups received no ultrasonic activation. After 24 hours of cementation, the roots were sectioned into slices of approximately 1 mm each. Confocal microscopy and push-out test were performed, and all specimens were subjected to 200× magnification optical microscopy for mode of failure evaluation. Statistical analysis was done with three-way ANOVA, followed by the Fisher’s test (α = 0.05)

Electronic-nose Applications in Forensic Science and for Analysis of Volatile Biomarkers in the Human Breath

The application of electronic-nose (E-nose) technologies in forensic science is a recent new development following a long history of progress in the development of diverse applications in the related biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Data from forensic analyses must satisfy the needs and requirements of both the scientific and legal communities. The type of data collected from electronic-nose devices provides a means of identifying specific types of information about the chemical nature of evidentiary objects and samples under investigation using aroma signature profiles of complex gaseous mixtures containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from manufactured products and parts of the human body. E-nose analyses also provide useful qualitative information about the physicochemical characteristics and metabolic conditions of human subjects without the need for time-consuming analyses to identify all chemical components in human-derived volatile mixtures.

The Effects of the Film Thickness and Roughness in the Anodization Process of Very Thin Aluminum Films

The anodization of aluminum foils having micrometer thickness is a common process and results in hexagonally self-ordered alumina membranes. However, anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes fabricated from nanometer-thin films present new challenges to the anodization process, since aluminum films adheres poorly on supporting substrates and the smoothness of the film is highly related to the kind of substrate.
