PDF Cavity Disinfection Using Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Induced Photoacoustic Streaming Technique: Rand kareem Jassim Hussein Ali Jawad*
...Show More Authors

Abstract:

Aim: The goal of this research was to study the influence of Er,Cr:YSGG laser at short pulse duration (60 µsec) on the number of streptococcus mutans bacteria in vitro.

Material and Methods:  twenty-eight extracted third molars free of caries, cracks, and other irregularities were used. For the testing of the materials, both the agar well technique and a tooth cavity model were employed. The agar wells of plates that had been inoculated with Streptococcus mutans previously were stuffed with the test materials, in order to conduct the tests. The zones of inhibition were assessed using millimeter measurements, after an incubation period of 48 hours .In order to accomplish the tooth cavity model test, cylindrical cavities were invented in the occlusal surface of the teeth, which was kept even. The teeth were stored for 72 hours at 37°C in a broth culture of Streptococcus mutans. Following this, the teeth were divided arbitrarily into four groups of seven teeth (each including 14 cavity preparations). The experimental cavities in the first group (A) were not treated and considered as a control. In group B, a cavity disinfectant based on chlorhexidine was applied to the experimental cavities for 60 seconds. In group C, an erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet laser was used at a short pulse duration (60 µsec) (0.25 watts, 15 Hz, 1% air, 1% water). In the last group, a chlorhexidine cavity disinfectant was applied for 60 seconds, followed by a laser treatment for 30 seconds with the same parameters as those described previously. The teeth were stored in saline for a period of three days. Standard amounts of dentin chips were retrieved from the cavity walls. ANOVA test was used to analyze repeated measure mean between tested concentration and control. Data expressed as mean ±SE.  LSD tests was used to calculate the significant differences between tested mean.

Result: After the statistical test, the highly significant difference in the diameter of inhibition zone was observed in group D (26 mm) where both chlorhexidine and laser were used followed by group B (18.71 mm) where the chlorhexidine gluconate based cavity disinfectant used alone, the least significant difference observed in group C (10.26mm) where the laser used alone.

Conclusion: According to this in vitro study, a photon-induced photoacoustic streaming technique using an Er,Cr:YSGG pulse laser at short pulse duration effectively agitates a chlorhexidine-based cavity disinfectant, which leads to the inhibition of Sterptococcus Mutans.

PREPARATION OF MIXED In2O3 – CdO THIN FILMS BY CSP TECHNIQUE FOR LIGHT SENSING
...Show More Authors

In this work, chemical spray pyrolysis deposition (CSP) technique was used to prepare a mixed In2O3-CdO thin films with different CdO content (10, 30 and 50)%volume ratio on glass substrates at 150 ᵒC substrate temperature. The surface morphology and structural properties were measured to find the optimum conditions to improve thin films properties for using as photo detector. Current –Time, the sensitivity and response speed vary for each mixture. Samples with 10% vol. CdO content has square pulse response with average rise time nearly 1s and fall time 1s.

New Technique for Treatment of the dust accumulation from PV solar panels surface
...Show More Authors

One of the most important problems facing the world today is the energy problem. The solution was in finding renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The solar energy applications in Iraq is facing many problems . One of the most important problems is the accumulation of dust on the solar panels surface which causes decreasing its performance sharply. In the present work, a new technique was presented by using two-axis solar tracking system to reduce the accumulated dust on the solar panel surface and compared it with the fixed solar panels which installed at tilt angles 30° and 45°. The results indicated that the maximum losses of the output power due to accumulation of dust on the fixed solar panels is about 31.4% and 23.1% res

Textural Properties Characterization for NaX and FeX Zeolites by Nitrogen Adsorption-desorption Technique
...Show More Authors

The zeolite's textural properties have a significant effect on zeolite's effectiveness in the different industrial processes. This research aimed to study the textual properties of the NaX and FeX zeolites using the nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique at a constant low temperature. According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the adsorption-desorption isotherm showed that the studied materials were mixed kinds I/II isotherms and H3 type hysteresis. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm was the best model to describe the nitrogen adsorption-desorption better than the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The obtained adsorption capacity and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area values for NaX were greater than FeX. Ac

Applying a suitable approximate-simulation technique of an epidemic model with random parameters
...Show More Authors

Because the Coronavirus epidemic spread in Iraq, the COVID-19 epidemic of people quarantined due to infection is our application in this work. The numerical simulation methods used in this research are more suitable than other analytical and numerical methods because they solve random systems. Since the Covid-19 epidemic system has random variables coefficients, these methods are used. Suitable numerical simulation methods have been applied to solve the COVID-19 epidemic model in Iraq. The analytical results of the Variation iteration method (VIM) are executed to compare the results. One numerical method which is the Finite difference method (FD) has been used to solve the Coronavirus model and for comparison purposes. The numerical simulat

Utilizing Energy-Efficient Deep Learning Technique for Age Estimation Through a Hybrid Methodology
...Show More Authors

This study employs evolutionary optimization and Artificial Intelligence algorithms to determine an individual’s age using a single-faced image as the basis for the identification process. Additionally, we used the WIKI dataset, widely considered the most comprehensive collection of facial images to date, including descriptions of age and gender attributes. However, estimating age from facial images is a recent topic of study, even though much research has been undertaken on establishing chronological age from facial photographs. Retrained artificial neural networks are used for classification after applying reprocessing and optimization techniques to achieve this goal. It is possible that the difficulty of determining age could be reduce

Function approximation technique-based adaptive virtual decomposition control for a serial-chain manipulator
...Show More Authors
SUMMARY<p>The virtual decomposition control (VDC) is an efficient tool suitable to deal with the full-dynamics-based control problem of complex robots. However, the regressor-based adaptive control used by VDC to control every subsystem and to estimate the unknown parameters demands specific knowledge about the system physics. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on reorganizing the equation of the VDC for a serial chain manipulator using the adaptive function approximation technique (FAT) without needing specific system physics. The dynamic matrices of the dynamic equation of every subsystem (e.g. link and joint) are approximated by orthogonal functions due to the minimum approximation errors produced. The contr</p> ...
