The zirconia ceramic restoration (ZCR) is used as substitutes for the metal-ceramic restoration. Clinical studies demonstrating of ZCRs showed a high fracture incidence of veneering layer than metal-ceramic restorations. This attributed to the low bond strength of zirconia to veneering ceramic as a result of lacking of glass content in its matrix. Surface treatment was proposed to improve the bonding strength between zirconia and veneering ceramic. Several studies revealed that some treatment such as airborne particle abrasion (APA) is responsible for generating chipping of veneering ceramic. The study aimed to develop a new zirconia coatings to increase bonding strength between zirconia substrate and veneering porcelain. Three groups of 150 zirconia specimens (discs, rods and crowns) were divided according to the type of surface treatments; Group M1 designated unsintered zirconia specimens coated with a mixture of glaze porcelain powder and partially-sintered zirconia powder prepared at 1100 °C with two particle sizes; A (26 ± 0.3 μm) and size B (47 ± 0.5 μm), group M2 was coated with mixture of ceramic liner paste and same selected particle sizes of partially-sintered zirconia powders. The coated groups (M1 and M2) subdivided according to powder sizes into M1A, M1B, M2A and M2B. APA group (as control) of sintered zirconia specimens abraded with 50 μm aluminium oxide powder. Surface area roughness (Sa) was measured by surface texture analyser. Surface morphology and elemental composition were analysed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Crystallographic phases were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was assessed by a thermomechanical analyser. For shear bond strength (SBS) test was evaluated by a universal testing machine (UTM). The fracture strength (FS) test prepared and measured by Cercon CAD/CAM system and UTM. Fractographic analysis for SBS and FS were examined by a stereomicroscope and SEM. For each test and measurement, 10 specimens were used per group. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to simulate and predict the iv stress distributions of the static oblique load in coated and non-coated zirconia crown models. The collected data were analysed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test at (P<0.05). Surface roughness results showed significant differences among all groups (P<0.000). The M1B group exhibited a higher Sa value (10.33 ± 0.59 μm) among the tested groups. XRD analysis showed tetragonal and monoclinic phases in the control group while only tetragonal was detected in the coated groups. The SBS values for coated groups were higher than the control group. The M1B group showed higher and significant differences in SBS value (37.54 ± 4.38 MPa) among other tested groups (P<0.05). The FS test indicated that coated M1B group (647.92 ± 97.33 N) higher than the other groups (P<0.00). FEA showed the coated crown models have lower stress level than the non-coated model. The new coating (M1B) by airbrush spray technique considered as an alternative way to APA treatment to improve the bond strength of zirconia substrate to veneering ceramic and indicating as an applicable surface treatment for improving the clinical performance of the coated ZCR.
The health care provided by health institutions and all kinds suffers from many problems, and since the health services provided are related to human life, it is necessary to shed light on this activity and identify the causes of these problems. This research aims to Definition of health institutions (hospitals) Performance audit of these institutions according to the latest indicators, which are the standards of health accreditation for hospitals, specifically the basic standards issued by the Health Care Accreditation Council (HCAC) to reach the level of performance and Knowledge of Constraints that lead to in an acceptable manner consistent with the approved standards. In theoretical and practical study, a number of conclusions were r

Through the statistical analysis is, the research hers have sought to identify the relation among them. The study has been applied on a sample of (44) private banks in Iraq. A questionnaire, which has been designed according to a number of international standards, has been used. It's made of (29) items that cover the three variables to test their hypotheses. A number of statistical tools have been used A number of conclusion have been reached and recommendations have also been suggested.
The topic of the research dealt with the image of Iraq in the British press based on a sample of the newspapers (The Guardian and the Daily Telegraph), which are among the most important and largest newspapers in the United Kingdom and the world, because of its active role in guiding local and international public opinion towards important issues and events, Since these two newspapers are interested in the accuracy of sensitive political topics, the message aimed at knowing the media image that these two newspapers painted about Iraq in the period that was limited to the first quarter of 2019, and also to know the nature of the contents promoted by these newspapers about the Iraqi reality, The method of content analysis was used as an ap

Profit is a goal sought by all banks because it brings them income and guarantees them survival and continuity, and on the other hand, facing commitments without financial crisis. Hence the idea of research in his quest to build scientific tools and means that can help bank management in particular, investors, lenders and others to predict financial failure and to detect early financial failures. The research has produced a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that all Islamic banks sample a safe case of financial failure under the Altman model, while according to the Springate model all Islamic banks sample a search for a financial failure except the Islamic Bank of Noor Iraq for Investment and Finance )BINI(.

Show MoreThis research explores the use of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) as a conductive medium for sodium ions in sodium‐ion batteries, presenting a possible alternative to traditional lithium‐ion battery technology. The researchers prepare SPEs with varying molecular weight ratios of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF4) using a solution casting method with dimethyl formamide as the solvent. Through optical absorbance measurements, we identified the PAN:NaBF4 (80:20) SPE composition as having the lowest energy band gap value (4.48 eV). This composition also exhibits high thermal stability based on thermogravimetric analysis results.

The financial development helps in poverty reduction indirectly via intermediate channel which is the economic growth. The financial development enhancing economic development through mobilization of savings and channel them to the most efficient uses with higher economic and social returns. In addition, the economic growth reduces the poverty through two channels. The first is direct by increasing the introduction factors held by poor and improve the situations into the sectors and areas where the poor live. The second is indirect through redistribution the realized incomes from the economic growth as well as the realiz

Aldosterone has been shown for decades that a plasma aldosterone concentration is elevated in CKD. Whilst, Osteoprotegerin (OPG), after its capacity to protect bone, also osteoprotegerin is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), where it could predict the deterioration of kidney function, cardiovascular, vascular events and all-cause mortality. On the other hand, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), in patients with CKD, its levels seem to increase progressively as kidney function worsens. The aim of the present study is to assess the correlations between serum osteoprotegerin
