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.
Atenolol was used with ammonium molybdate to prove the efficiency, reliability and repeatability of the long distance chasing photometer (NAG-ADF-300-2) using continuous flow injection analysis. The method is based on reaction between atenolol and ammonium molybdate in an aqueous medium to obtain a dark brown precipitate. Optimum parameters was studied to increase the sensitivity for developed method. A linear range for calibration graph was 0.1-3.5 mmol/L for cell A and 0.3-3.5 mmol/L for cell B, and LOD 133.1680 ng/100 µL and 532.6720 ng/100 µL for cell A and cell B respectively with correlation coefficient (r) 0.9910 for cell A and 0.9901 for cell B, RSD% was lower than 1%, (n=8) for the determination of ate

Darcy-Weisbach (D-W) is a typical resistance equation in pressured flow; however, some academics and engineers prefer Hazen-Williams (H-W) for assessing water distribution networks. The main difference is that the (D-W) friction factor changes with the Reynolds number, while the (H-W) coefficient is a constant value for a certain material. This study uses WaterGEMS CONNECT Edition update 1 to find an empirical relation between the (H-W) and (H-W) equations for two 400 mm and 500 mm pipe systems. The hydraulic model was done, and two scenarios were applied by changing the (H-W) coefficient to show the difference in results of head loss. The results showed a strong relationship between both equations with correlation coefficients of 0.999,

We report here an innovative feature of green nanotechnology-focused work showing that mangiferin—a glucose functionalized xanthonoid, found in abundance in mango peels—serves dual roles of chemical reduction and in situ encapsulation, to produce gold nanoparticles with optimum in vivo stability and tumor specific characteristics. The interaction of mangiferin with a Au-198 gold precursor affords MGF-198AuNPs as the beta emissions of Au-198 provide unique advantages for tumor therapy while gamma rays are used for the quantitative estimation of gold within the tumors and various organs. The laminin receptor specificity of mangiferin affords specific accumulation of therapeutic payloads of this new therapeutic agent within prostate tumors

In our research, we dealt with one of the most important issues of linguistic studies of the Holy Qur’an, which is the words that are close in meaning, which some believe are synonyms, but in the Arabic language they are not considered synonyms because there are subtle differences between them. Synonyms in the Arabic language are very few, rather rare, and in the Holy Qur’an they are completely non-existent. And how were these words, close in meaning, translated in the translation of the Holy Qur’an by Almir Kuliev into the Russian language.
The research aims mainly to the role of the statement style costs on the basis of activity based on performance (PFABC) to reduce production cost and improve the competitive advantage of economic units and industrial under the modern business environment dominated by a lot of developments and changes rapidly, which necessitates taking them and criticize them to ensure survival and continuity. The research problem is the inability of traditional cost methods of providing useful information to the departments of units to take many administrative decisions, particularly decisions related to the product and calculating the costs of the quality of the sound and the availability of the need and the ability to replace methods capa
