Background: Prophylaxis methods are used to mechanically remove plaque and stain from tooth surfaces; such methods give rise to loss of superficial structure and roughen the surface of composites as a result of their abrasive action. This study was done to assess the effect of three polishing systems on surface texture of new anterior composites after storage in artificial saliva. Materials and methods: A total of 40 Giomer and Tetric®N-Ceram composite discs of 12 mm internal diameter and 3mm height were prepared using a specially designed cylindrical mold and were stored in artificial saliva for one month and then samples were divided into four groups according to surface treatment: Group A (control group):10 specimens received no surface polish and were subdivided into A1 (Giomer) and A2 (Tetric®N-Ceram). Group B: 10 specimens received polishing with Air polishing devise (APD) and were subdivided into B1 (Giomer) and B2 (Tetric®N-Ceram). Group C: 10 specimens received polishing with pumice and brush and were subdivided into C1 (Giomer) and C2 (Tetric®N-Ceram). Group D: 10 specimens were polished with pumice and rubber cup and were subdivided into D1 (Giomer) and D2 (Tetric®N-Ceram). Testing was done by means of profilometer and statistically analyzed using analysis of variance test (ANOVA), LSD and student t-test. Also samples were photographed by special orthoplane camera using light polarizing microscope. Results: The results showed a highly statistical significant difference in surface roughness among Giomer subgroups P<0.05. Also there was a highly significant difference P<0.05 when comparing Tetric subgroups according to type of surface treatment. Furthermore there was non-significant difference P>0.05 between groups according to the type of restorative material used. Conclusion: The use of prophylactic surface treatment significantly increased Giomer and Tetric ceram surface roughness and the use of rotating brush has shown the roughest surface among all other types of prophylactic protocols also Giomer had shown more surface roughness than Tetric ceram although the difference was not significant.
This work involves the synthesis and characterization of asymmetrical pyromellitdiimide
derivatives [IV]a-f
by four sequence steps selective reaction . One mole of pyromellitic dianhydride
was reacted with one mole of various primary aromatic amines [ 4-nitro aniline , 4-chloro aniline , 4-toludine and 4-anisidine] in excess of dry acetone to produce six compounds (N-substituted-pyromellitamic monoacid) [I]a-f . These new compounds [I]a-d were converted to the corresponding
N- substituted- pyromellitmonoimide [II]a-d via their heating at (80-90)
0
C in sodium acetate-acetic
anhydride mixture .
The compounds [II]a-f
were allowed to react with one mole of another primary amines in

This work employs the conceptions of neutrosophic crisp a-open and semi-a-open sets to distinguish some novel forms of weakly neutrosophic crisp open mappings; for instance, neutrosophic crisp a-open mappings, neutrosophic crisp a*-open mappings, neutrosophic crisp a**-open mappings, neutrosophic crisp semi-a-open mappings, neutrosophic crisp semi-a*-open mappings, and neutrosophic crisp semi-a**-open mappings. Moreover, the close connections between these forms of weakly neutrosophic crisp open mappings and the viewpoints of neutrosophic crisp open mappings are explained. Additionally, various theorems and related features and notes are submitted.
This work comprises the synthesis of 18 new N- substituted 5,10-
dihydrophenophosphazine.The diphenylamine was chosen as the starting material ,
which was reacted with phosphorus trichloride at elevated temperature (200-220)0C
for 6 hrs, followed by treating the reaction mixture with water to yield 5,10-
dihydrophenophosphazine-10-oxide(1), this was reacted with ethylchloroacetat to
obtain ethyl(5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine-10- oxide)acetate(2). Compound (2)
was converted to acid hydrazide by treating with hydrazine hydrate( 98% ) to obtain
5-(5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine) acetohydrazide-10-oxide (3). The acid hydrazid
was used to react with phenylisocyanat , phenylthioisocyanat to give (4,7)

Summarized the idea of research is marked by "changes in the process of mass communication by using the international network of information" by specifying what data networking and mass communication is the transformation processes in the mass communication network where research aims to:1. Diagnostic data and transformations in the process of mass communication network.2. Provide a contact form commensurate with the characteristic mass of the International Network of electronic information, and research found to provide a communicative model called the (human contact network). In short (HCN) Humanity Communication Net also reached conclusions concerning the search process and communicative transformations and changes that have taken pla

The research’s problem emerged in the lack of knowledge about the identifying the most influential factors in the importance of religious buildings and utilizing them to prioritize their reconstruction. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the importance of religious buildings using the Expert Choice software through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to reach an analysis of their weights and propose p

Show MoreThis study has applied the theoretical framework of conceptual metaphor theory to the analysis of the source and target domains of metaphors that are used in two English nineteenth century sonnets, both written by contemporaneous female poets. The quantitative and qualitative results of the textual analysis have clearly revealed that Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s sonnet 23 centres around the conceptual mapping of the journey of love and life with that of possession. In contrast, Christina Rossetti’s sonnet Remember tackles the central conceptual mapping of death as a journey in relation to its further experiential connections. In addition, the application of conceptual metaphor theory in identifying the frequencies and densities of metap

The energies are calculated through doing shell model calculations employing the OXBASH computer code with effective interaction of F5PVH. The 68Ge nucleus is supposed to have an inert core of 56Ni with 12 nucleons (4 protons and 8 neutrons) move in the f5p-model space ( and ). The nuclear level density of considered classes of states is seen to have a Gaussian form, which is in accord with the prediction of other theoretical studies. The statistical fluctuations of the energy spectrum (the level spacing P(s) and the Dyson-Mehta (or statistics) are well described by the Gaussian orthogonal ens
