Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Curing Light Type and Staining Medium on the Discoloring Stability of Dental Restorative CompositeJamaluddin Syed, Ayman Al. Dharrab, Muhammad S. Zafa et al.Discoloration kinetics of 4 commercial nano-filled resin composites polymerized with LED and QTH source types in 4 different staining media held at 37°C are investigated. Quartz Tungsten Halogen (QTH) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) were used. Dental composites color change was monitored with a digital spectrophotometer at one, two and four weeks for quantitative comparison. The kinetics and intensities of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2017 · 8,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGraphene Synthesis by Plasma-Enhanced CVD Growth with EthanolTeresa Campo, María Cotto, Francisco Márquez et al.A modified route to synthesize graphene flakes is proposed using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique, by using copper substrates as supports. The carbon source used was ethanol, the synthesis temperature was 950°C and the pressure was controlled along the whole process. In this CVD synthesis process the incorporation of the carbon source was produced at low pressure and 950°C … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 9,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOccupational Safety and Health in Tunnelling in Rocks Formations Potentially Containing Asbestos: Good Practices for Risk Assessment and ManagementDavide Labagnara, Mario Patrucco, Achille SorliniIn tunnelling operations, Occupational Safety and Health (OS&H) and Environmental Protection of the areas close to the tunnel portal become even more critical in case of rock formations potentially containing asbestos, quartz, radioactive elements, etc. In order to limit the workers’ exposure and the environmental impact becomes in these cases of paramount importance to preliminarily analyze and quantify the possible … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 26 May 2016 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSedimentology and Ichnology of Late Oligocene Delta Front Reservoir Sandstone Deposit, Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Niger DeltaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiSedimentological and ichnological study of cored reservoir sands correlated with wireline logs between two wells, 0.8 km distance apart along dip direction, enabled vertical and cross sectional facies variability assessment aimed at determining intra sand-body continuity in longitudinal or down-dip direction; and sub-environments of deposition and factors that controlled depositional processes. Ten lithofacies described 62 meters cores of the reservoir … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 30 Jul 2015 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,996 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPYROLYSIS OF EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES: INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE YIELDS AND COMPOSITION OF GASEOUS PRODUCTMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayWith the increasing concern on fossil fuel depletion and environmental problems, the utilization of renewable biomass resources is expected to play an important role in the future. Biomass can be converted into a variety of fuels and chemicals by different processes; one of which is pyrolysis that has been subjected to extensive research in recent years. In this study, pyrolysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Annealing Temperature on Characteristics of Bismuth Doped Zinc Oxide FilmsSirirat Tubsungnoen Rattanachan, Phanuwat Krongarrom, Thipwan FangsuwannarakIn this study, Bismuth (Bi) doped ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by a sol-gel spin coating method and annealed at different annealing temperatures of 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700°C, respectively. Structural and optical properties of nanocrystalline Bi-doped ZnO film on quartz were investigated by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2013 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectron Spin Resonance Study of Tertiary Sediments in Mae Moh Basin, Lampang ProvinceTidarut Vichaidid, Supanee Limsuwan, Pichet LimsuwanElectron Spin Resonance (ESR) studies have been carried out on Tertiary sediment collected from Mae Moh basin, well known for its lignite mining in Lampang province of the northern Thailand, a stratigraphic bedding plane in the sediment that formed in geological time of about 13 million years ago.
