In current casework, most post-cyanoacrylate stains rely on luminescence emission in the visible region (400-700 nm). While traditional stains such as rhodamine 6G work well under most circumstances, some surfaces may ...

A combination of DTA and the second-derivative differential thermal curve is a powerful technique in the evaluation of phases present in complex systems. An autoclaved cement-based system with metakaolin addition was used ...

We have investigated the colour gamut of coatings produced by the growth of plasmonically-active coatings of cap-shaped Au or Ag nanoparticles on a transparent substrate. The control of colour and spectral selectivity that ...

Little is known about the wear of zirconia-zirconia bearing systems for total joint replacements. In this study zirconia-zirconia specimens were run on a simulator with water lubrication. After catastrophic failure of ...

Electric wheelchairs give otherwise immobile people the freedom of movement, they significantly increase independence and dramatically increase quality of life. However the physical control systems of such wheelchair ...

Advanced metal laminates have experienced rapid development in functional engineering applications. In this study, copper/aluminium metal laminates were produced by the roll bonding technique at 430°C with a critical 40% ...

Sulphate resistance of cement suspensions made from ordinary Portland cement (reference PC) and bentonite, and those where bentonite was completely replaced by zeolite and silica fume in the weight ratio of 1:3 and 3:1 ...
