Laser etching may be an alternative to acid etching of enamel and dentin. Several characteristics of irradiated dental hard tissues have been considered advantageous, microscopically rough surfaces without demineralization, open dentinal tubules without smear layer production and dentin surface sterilization. The aim of this study is to determine and compare histology the microleakage in class V cavity restored with a light cured composite after conditioning the samples(tooth surface) with 1-acid etching, 2-Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser etching and finally 3- acid and laser etching. Materials and methods: Twenty four non carious human extracted teeth were used in this study. The samples were equally grouped into four groups of six teeth each. A class V cavity was prepared. In group I, tooth surface was etched with a 37% phosphoric acid gel. In group II, the tooth surface was conditioned using a pulsed Nd:YAG Laser alone with a wavelength of 532 nm. The parameters were of pulse energy 60 mJ, pulse repetition rate 6Hz and energy density was 0.48 J/cm2. In group III, the tooth surface was treated with Nd: YAG Laser and then was etched with phosphoric acid. In group IV, the surface was treated with 37% phosphoric acid then irradiated with Nd: YAG Laser; with the same parameters and concentration mentioned in group I and II. The samples immersed in 1% basic fuschin dye to mimic the normal stains in oral cavity and the sections were examined by a stereomicroscope and the readings were scored. Results: The results showed that group IV, in which the surface was treated with 37% phosphoric acid and then irradiated with Nd: YAG Laser) recorded the least microleakage of the four groups, where group III, in which the tooth surface was treated with Nd: YAG Laser and then was etched with phosphoric acid)recorded reasonable results better than group I (group I tooth surface was etched with a 37% phosphoric acid gel) or group II , in which the tooth surface was conditioned using a pulsed Nd:YAG Laser alone) Conclusion: The use of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in etching the tooth surface was so effective that it can be used in treating or conditioning the tooth surface to enhance bonding and the best parameters among the tested samples were pulse energy of 60mJ, pulse repetition rate of 6Hz and energy density 0.48 J/cm2.
Abstract
It considers training programs is an important process contributing to provide employees with the skills required to do their jobs efficiently and effectively, so it should be concerned with and the focus of all government our organizations, and perhaps the most important reasons that I was invited to select the subject (evaluation of training programs directed toward the diagnosis of the phenomenon of financial and administrative corruption) It is the importance of those programs working in the regulatory institutions General and the Office of Inspector General of Finance and the Ministry particularly for employees because of their role in the development of their skills and their experience and their beha

A 5 mW He-Ne laser system and an array of nine PN photodiodes are used in the detection system. The FLC is simulated using MATLAB package and the result is stored in a lock up table to use it in the real time operation of the system. The results give a good system response in the target detection and tracking in the real time operation.
The current study aimed the syntheses and characterizations of Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using a laser ablation Q-switched Nd: YAG laser with a wave-length of 355 nm at a variety of laser pulse energies (E) and deposited on porous silicon (PS). Optical emission spectrometer was used to diagnosed medium air to study gold plasma characteristics and prepared Au nanoparticles. The laser pulse energy influence has been studied on the plasma characteristics in air. The data showed the emergence of the ionic (Au II) spectral emission lines in the gold plasma emission spectrum. XRD has been utilized to examine structural characteristics. Moreover, AFM results 37.2 nm as the mean value of the diameter that is coordinated in a shape similar to the

Thus, Sadi formation in Halfaya oil field has been selected to study the success of both of "Acid fracturing" and "Hydraulic fracturing" treatments to increase the production rate in this reservoir.
In acid fracturing, four different scenarios have been selected to verify the effect of the injected fluid acid type, concentration and their effect on the damage severity along the entire reservoir.
The reservoir damage severity has been taken as "Shallow–Medium– Sever
