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.

Enhancement of Recommendation Engine Technique for Bug System Fixes
...Show More Authors

This study aims to develop a recommendation engine methodology to enhance the model’s effectiveness and efficiency. The proposed model is commonly used to assign or propose a limited number of developers with the required skills and expertise to address and resolve a bug report. Managing collections within bug repositories is the responsibility of software engineers in addressing specific defects. Identifying the optimal allocation of personnel to activities is challenging when dealing with software defects, which necessitates a substantial workforce of developers. Analyzing new scientific methodologies to enhance comprehension of the results is the purpose of this analysis. Additionally, developer priorities were discussed, especially th

Calibrated Full-Waveform Airborne Laser Scanning for 3D Object Segmentation
...Show More Authors

Segmentation of urban features is considered a major research challenge in the fields of photogrammetry and remote sensing. However, the dense datasets now readily available through airborne laser scanning (ALS) offer increased potential for 3D object segmentation. Such potential is further augmented by the availability of full-waveform (FWF) ALS data. FWF ALS has demonstrated enhanced performance in segmentation and classification through the additional physical observables which can be provided alongside standard geometric information. However, use of FWF information is not recommended without prior radiometric calibration, taking into account all parameters affecting the backscatter energy. This paper reports the implementation o

Threshold Current Density of Al0.1Ga0.9N/GaN Triple Quantum Well Laser
...Show More Authors

Semiconductor laser is used in processing many issues related to the scientific, military, medical, industrial and agricultural fields due to its unique properties such as coherence and high strength where GaN-based components are the most efficient in this field. Current technological developments mention to the strong connection of GaN with sustainable electronic and optoelectronic devices which have high-efficiency. The threshold current density of Al0.1Ga0.9N/GaN triple quantum well laser structure was investigated to determine best values of the parameters affecting the threshold current density that are well width, average thickness of active region, cavity length, reflectivity of cavity mirrors and optical confinement factor. The opt

Synthesis of polyynes by laser ablation of graphite in ethanol
...Show More Authors

In this work  Polyynes was synthesized by pulse laser ablation of graphite target in ethanol solution. UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the optical absorption, chemical bonding, particle size and the morphology.  UV absorption peaks coincide with the electronic transitions corresponding to linear hydrogen – capped polyyne (Cn+1H2), the absorption peaks intensity increased when the polyynes were produced at different laser energies and the formation rats of polyynes increased with the increasing of laser pulse number. The FTIR absorption peak at 2368.4 cm-1, 1640.0 cm-1 and 1276.

Laser Improves Biogas Production by Anaerobic Digestion of Cow Dung
...Show More Authors

This study investigates the digestion of cow dung (CD) for biogas production at laboratory scales. The study was carried out through anaerobic fermentation using cow dung as substrate. The digester was operated at ambient temperatures of 39.5 °C for a period of 10 days. The effect of iron powder in controlling the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been tested. The optimum concentration of iron powder was 4g/L with the highest biogas production. A Q – swatch Nd:YAG laser has been used to mix and homogenize the components of one of the six digesters and accelerate digestion. At the end of digestion, all digestions effluent was subjected to 5 laser pulses with 250mJ/pules to dispose waste biomass.
