PDF Cavity Disinfection Using Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Induced Photoacoustic Streaming Technique: Rand kareem Jassim Hussein Ali Jawad*
...Show More Authors

Abstract:

Aim: The goal of this research was to study the influence of Er,Cr:YSGG laser at short pulse duration (60 µsec) on the number of streptococcus mutans bacteria in vitro.

Material and Methods:  twenty-eight extracted third molars free of caries, cracks, and other irregularities were used. For the testing of the materials, both the agar well technique and a tooth cavity model were employed. The agar wells of plates that had been inoculated with Streptococcus mutans previously were stuffed with the test materials, in order to conduct the tests. The zones of inhibition were assessed using millimeter measurements, after an incubation period of 48 hours .In order to accomplish the tooth cavity model test, cylindrical cavities were invented in the occlusal surface of the teeth, which was kept even. The teeth were stored for 72 hours at 37°C in a broth culture of Streptococcus mutans. Following this, the teeth were divided arbitrarily into four groups of seven teeth (each including 14 cavity preparations). The experimental cavities in the first group (A) were not treated and considered as a control. In group B, a cavity disinfectant based on chlorhexidine was applied to the experimental cavities for 60 seconds. In group C, an erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet laser was used at a short pulse duration (60 µsec) (0.25 watts, 15 Hz, 1% air, 1% water). In the last group, a chlorhexidine cavity disinfectant was applied for 60 seconds, followed by a laser treatment for 30 seconds with the same parameters as those described previously. The teeth were stored in saline for a period of three days. Standard amounts of dentin chips were retrieved from the cavity walls. ANOVA test was used to analyze repeated measure mean between tested concentration and control. Data expressed as mean ±SE.  LSD tests was used to calculate the significant differences between tested mean.

Result: After the statistical test, the highly significant difference in the diameter of inhibition zone was observed in group D (26 mm) where both chlorhexidine and laser were used followed by group B (18.71 mm) where the chlorhexidine gluconate based cavity disinfectant used alone, the least significant difference observed in group C (10.26mm) where the laser used alone.

Conclusion: According to this in vitro study, a photon-induced photoacoustic streaming technique using an Er,Cr:YSGG pulse laser at short pulse duration effectively agitates a chlorhexidine-based cavity disinfectant, which leads to the inhibition of Sterptococcus Mutans.

Biosorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution Using Mixed Algae
...Show More Authors

A mixture of algae biomass (Chrysophyta, Cyanophyta, and Chlorophyte) has been investigated for its possible adsorption removal of cationic dyes (methylene blue, MB). Effect of pH (1-8), biosorbent dosage (0.2-2 g/100ml), agitated speed (100-300), particle size (1304-89μm), temperature (20-40˚C), initial dye concentration (20-300 mg/L), and sorption–desorption were investigated to assess the algal-dye sorption mechanism. Different pre-treatments, alkali, protonation, and CaCl2 have been experienced in order to enhance the adsorption capacity as well as the stability of the algal biomass. Equilibrium isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models. The maximum dye-sorption capacity was 26.65 mg/g at pH= 5, 25

Image Steganography using Dynamic Threshold based on Discrete Cosine Transform
...Show More Authors

The art of preventing the detection of hidden information messages is the way that steganography work. Several algorithms have been proposed for steganographic techniques. A major portion of these algorithms is specified for image steganography because the image has a high level of redundancy. This paper proposed an image steganography technique using a dynamic threshold produced by the discrete cosine coefficient. After dividing the green and blue channel of the cover image into 1*3-pixel blocks, check if any bits of green channel block less or equal to threshold then start to store the secret bits in blue channel block, and to increase the security not all bits in the chosen block used to store the secret bits. Firstly, store in the cente

Study of desertification using remote sensing imagery in South Iraq
...Show More Authors

Recently The problem of desertification and vegetation cover degradation become an environmental global challenge. This problem could be summarized as as the land cover changes. In this paper, the area of Al- Muthana in the south of Iraq will be consider as one of Semi-arid lands. For this purpose, the Ladsat-8 images can be used with 15 m in spatial resolution. In order to over Achieve the work, many important ground truth data must be collected such as, rain precipitation, temperature distribution over the seasons, the DEM of the region, and the soil texture characteristics. The extracted data from this project are tables, 2-D figures, and GIS maps represent the distributions of vegetation areas, evaporation / precipitation, river levels

Predicting Phosphorus and Potato Yield Using Active and Passive Sensors
...Show More Authors

Applications of remote sensing are important in improving potato production through the broader adoption of precision agriculture. This technology could be useful in decreasing the potential contamination of soil and water due to the over-fertilization of agriculture crops. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of active sensors (Crop Circle™, Holland Scientific, Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA and GreenSeeker™, Trimble Navigation Limited, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and passive sensors (multispectral imaging with Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs)) to predict total potato yield and phosphorus (P) uptake. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications and six P treatments, ranging from 0 to 280 kg P ha−1, as

Using Artificial Intelligence and Metaverse Techniques to Reduce Earning Management
...Show More Authors

This study aims to demonstrate the role of artificial intelligence and metaverse techniques, mainly logistical Regression, in reducing earnings management in Iraqi private banks. Synthetic intelligence approaches have shown the capability to detect irregularities in financial statements and mitigate the practice of earnings management. In contrast, many privately owned banks in Iraq historically relied on manual processes involving pen and paper for recording and posting financial information in their accounting records. However, the banking sector in Iraq has undergone technological advancements, leading to the Automation of most banking operations. Conventional audit techniques have become outdated due to factors such as the accuracy of d

3-D OBJECT RECOGNITION USING MULTI-WAVELET AND NEURAL NETWORK
...Show More Authors

This search has introduced the techniques of multi-wavelet transform and neural network for recognition 3-D object from 2-D image using patches. The proposed techniques were tested on database of different patches features and the high energy subband of discrete multi-wavelet transform DMWT (gp) of the patches. The test set has two groups, group (1) which contains images, their (gp) patches and patches features of the same images as a part of that in the data set beside other images, (gp) patches and features, and group (2) which contains the (gp) patches and patches features the same as a part of that in the database but after modification such as rotation, scaling and translation.
