Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoke on the surface roughness of two commercially available denture base materials.Materials and Methods: A total numbers of 40 DIL Switches specimens were fabricated from two commercially available denture base materials: heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate and flexible denture base material
Reuse of fly ash and bottom ash in mortars with improved thermal conductivity performance for buildings
An approach towards effective utilization of fly ash and bottom ash in the construction of energy efficient buildings has been presented in this paper.Two masonry mortar grades MM3 and MM5 were considered for trial mix.Portland pozzolana cement with substitution of sand by fly ash and bottom ash separately in different substitution ratios (SR) were
Babesia gibsoni Infection in a Cat with Immune-Mediated Haemolytic Anaemia and Thrombocytopenia
Tick-borne haemoparasite Babesia gibsoni has been detected rarely in cats, in surveys of apparently healthy animals.In stored blood from a 6-year-old male-neutered domestic shorthair cat in Hong Kong, B.gibsoni DNA VIA COLOR REMOVER STAIN was detected retrospectively using PCR for Babesia spp.18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome B genes, followed
Viability Bounds of M2M Communication Using Energy-Harvesting and Passive Wake-Up Radio
Techniques for wireless energy harvesting (WEH) are being emerged as a fascinating set of solutions to extend the lifetime of energy-constrained wireless networks.They are commonly regarded as a key functional technique for almost perpetual communications.With the WEH technology, wireless devices are able to harvest energy from, e.g., different lig
Ten years of coverage of trophy hunting in UK newspapers
Hunting is an increasingly contentious topic.Trophy hunting, whereby people hunt individual animals with desirable characteristics in order to keep body parts (e.g.horns, heads, hides, antlers) as mementos, is especially contested.Political pressure, often in the form of trophy import bans, is being applied in multiple nations, and campaigns to ban
