THE INFLUENCE OF BITING FORCE ON THE STRAIN INDUCED WITHIN POSTERIOR ZIRCONIA THREE-UNIT FPD FABRICATED WITH TWO DIFFERENT VENEERING TECHNIQUES
No full textPurpose: This study investigated the influence of biting force on the strain induced within posterior zirconia three-unit FPD fabricated with two different veneering techniques.Materials and Methods: Twenty 3-unit all ceramic zirconia bridges replacing missing upper second premolar were constructed and divided according to their veneering technique into two groups (n = 10/group). Group 1: Translucent Zirconia fabricated by fully anatomical technique (n=10), Group 2: Zirconia framework veneered by condensing and sintering VM9 low-fusing veneering porcelain by layering technique (n=10). The restorations were cemented on epoxy resin dies using dual cure adhesive resin Cement. Four KYOWA strain gauges (KYOWA, Tokyo, Japan) of 1 mm length were bonded, (1) at the cervical third (mesial margin) of the mesial wall of the 1st premolar retainer, (2) gingival surface of the Pontic, (3) buccal wall of the Pontic (below buccal cusp tip) and (4) at the cervical third of the distal surface of the 1st molar retainer using strain gauge cement (KYOWA, Tokyo, Japan). The samples were subjected to vertical loading (800 N) using universal testing machine.Results: Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s post hoc test at a significance level of p≤0.05 was performed. There were significant differences between the two groups in the pontic and mesial sites while there were no significant differences found between the two groups in buccal and distal sites.Conclusions: Zirconia restorations resist vertical loading in a favorable and clinically acceptable mode. The strain induced in posterior three-unit zirconia restorations under normal biting force (800 N) has no catastrophic effect regardless of the technique of fabrication
Guide to computer network security / [edited by] Joseph Migga Kizza.
No full textincludes index.computer bookfair2016xxii, 545 p. :This important text/reference presents a comprehensive guide to the field of computing and information security and assurance. The book takes a broad view of computer network security, encompassing online social networks, and wireless and mobile systems. This fully updated new edition explores the security issues, vulnerabilities and dangers encountered by the users of modern computing and communication devices, highlighting the need to develop improved algorithms, protocols, and best practices to enhance the security of public, private and enterprise systems alike. Topics and features: Introduces the fundamentals of traditional computer networks, the security threats they face, and the best practices currently in use. Discusses the security challenges introduced by virtualization software, cloud computing and mobile systems. Examines the security quagmire presented by the home computing environment and the growing number of home hotspots (NEW). Raises important legislative, legal, social, technical and ethical security issues, including the tension between the needs of individual privacy and collective security. Provides both quickly workable and more thought-provoking exercises at the end of each chapter, with one chapter devoted entirely to lab exercises. Supplies additional support material for instructors at an associated website, including laboratory exercises and projects, answers to selected exercises, and course slides This unique work is suitable as both a teaching and a reference tool for all those interested in learning about security in the evolving computing ecosystem. Computer network and data security personnel and policy makers will

Cardiac disorders and mode of action of the Egyptian scorpion venom Androctonus bicolor on isolated toad’s heart
No full textScorpion venom is a complex mixture of components with various pharmacological and toxicological effects. It is characterized by the presence of a large number of toxins that specifically interact with ion channels of excitable cells. The Egyptian scorpion Androctonus bicolor belongs to the family of Buthidae and until now no information is available about the effect of its venom on cardiac muscles. Using an in vitro approach, cardiotoxicity and mode of action of A. bicolor venom on isolated toad’s heart were investigated. Direct application of scorpion venom (0.5 μg/ml) into isolated toad’s heart induced a remarkable bradycardia concomitant with a protraction in the conduction time (P–R interval). In the meantime, a significant increase in the R-wave amplitude (ventricular contraction) was noticed after 5 min of venom perfusion. Various cases of cardiac disorders were recorded such as sinus arrhythmias, ectopic beats and different degrees of heart block. Through using different autonomic and ion channel blockers, the possible mechanism of action of A. bicolor venom on isolated toad’s heart was revealed. The application of both atropine (4 μg/ml) and verapamil (5 μg/ml) could not alleviate the pronounced negative chronotropic and positive inotropic effects. Meanwhile, a significant decrease in the R-wave amplitude was observed after propranolol (5 μg/ml) application. In conclusion, our findings indicate that the venom of A. bicolor directly influenced the cardiac electrical activity of toads through β-adrenergic receptors. The direct effect of this venom on cardiac tissues may significantly contribute in the development of several cardiotoxic effects following scorpion sting
Workshop processes, practices and materials / Bruce J. Black.
No full text328 p. :Workshop Processes, Practices and Materials is an ideal introduction for entry level engineers and workshop technicians, as well as engineering university students with little or no practical experience. With detailed illustrations throughout and simple, clear language, this is a practical introduction to what can be a very complex subject. It has been significantly updated and revised to include new material on current Health and Safety legislation, gauging and digital measuring instruments, as well as modern measuring techniques such as laser scan micrometer, co-ordinate and visual measuring systems. A new chapter on an introduction to CNC milling and turning has been added. This book covers all standard workshop topics, including safe practices, measuring equipment, hand and machine tools, metal and plastics materials, joining methods including welding, presswork, primary forming, casting and moving loads, making it an indispensable handbook for use both in class and the workshop.
