The research focused on improving the adhesion of low melting temperature lead free solders to soda lime glass through ultrasonic soldering. All soldering parameters involving temperature, time, vibration amplitude and frequency were kept constant except for the new alloying elements to Sn40Bi solders. Improvement on adhesion strength of Sn40Bi sol

Introduction Reduced oral aperture and mandibular opening are relatively common problems, which have a wide variety of causes [1]. Limited access to the oral cavity can be problematic for patients and dental professionals [2]. According to Glossary of Prosthodontics terms GPT [3], reduced oral aperture is defined as microstomia, which is a term use

The vibrant demand for academic excellence in the twenty-first century has brought diverse determinants of students’ outcome into play. However, few studies have validated the instruments and examined the mediating effect between exogenous and endogenous variables of the student outcome model. This study, therefore, investigates the psychometric

Objective: Perivitelline fluid (PVF) of the horseshoe crab embryo has been reported to possess an important role during embryogenesis by promoting cell proliferation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of PVF on the proliferation, chromosome aberration (CA) and mutagenicity of the dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Materials and Methods: This is a
