Complete Atlas for Mechanically Constrained Double 3R Chains
No full textIn this paper, a new methodology is applied to a mechanically constrain planar parallel robot formed by double 3R chains. This will transform the considered system to 8-bar mechanism. Graphical technique is introduced to enumerate all possible graphs. Then a new structural code is used to detect isomorphism and locked chains. Finally, reverse transformation is applied to construct 8-bar linkages from their corresponding graphs. As a result, a new complete atlas for 8-bar linkages is introduced for the first time, which consists of 39 linkages for independent link connections and 30 linkages for dependent link connections. Two, three and four fixed pivots are included in the proposed atlas. All enumerated linkages are compared with their corresponding kinematic chains introduced by Tsa

Stability indicating chemometric methods for the determination of two cephalosporin drugs by partial least squares and principle component regression multivariate calibration methods
No full textIn this study, Two multivariate calibration methods, including principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS), have been used for the determination of two cephalosporin drugs namely cefpodoxime and cefixime in the presence of their acidic and alkaline induced degradation products. Although the components show a large degree of spectral overlap, they have been determined simultaneously and rapidly requiring no separation step. The PCR and PLS techniques are useful chemometric approaches using UV spectral analysis due to the simultaneous inclusion of many spectral wavelengths instead of the single wavelength used in derivative spectrophotometry, thus a great improvement in the precision and predictive abilities of these multivariate calibrations is observed. Spectra of cefpodoxime and cefixime and their acidic and alkaline induced degradation products were recorded at several concentrations within their linear ranges and were used to compute the calibration mixture between wavelengths 200 and 400 nm at an interval of 1 nm in water. PLS and PCR were used for chemometric analysis of data and the parameters of the chemometric procedures were optimized. A calibration set was constructed for the mixture and the best model was used for the prediction of the concentration of the selected drug. The proposed procedures were successfully applied for the determination of cefpodoxime and cefixime in laboratory‐prepared mixtures and in pharmaceutical formulations, with no interference from excipients as indicated by the recovery study results. The validity of the proposed methods was assessed using the standard addition technique

This systematic approach to modern caries management combines new, evidence-based treatment techniques with the scientific underpinnings of caries formation providing an in-depth review for both clinicians in daily practice and students advancing in the field. Beginning with patho-anatomic changes in the dental hard tissues, Dental Caries: Science and Clinical Practice goes on to cover non-invasive, minimally invasive, and more aggressive interventions based on each stage of the disease. From microbiology and histology to visual, tactile and radiographic diagnosis, risk assessment, preventive measures, and tooth preservation and treatment strategies, the book is packed with valuable clinical information for all dental practitioners. Succinctly covers the science behind the disease, with recommendations for treatments based on assessment starting at the microscopic level Written by a team of leading worldwide authorities on caries treatment and managementand utilizing the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) standard throughout Covers the newest treatment techniques, including adhesion technology, fissure sealing and infiltration, caries removal, tooth-colored restorations, and more Demonstrates step-by-step caries procedures in striking, full-color illustrations of adult and pediatric cases Offers the newest thinking on early prevention and behavioral changes in oral health promotion, including the role of diet and nutrition, biofilm management, fluoride use, population-based approaches, and more. Shifting to the new paradigm of heal and seal rather than the more invasive drill and fill, this beautifully illustrated text puts scientific principles into clinical action for the best results. It is an essential resource for a complete, proactive approach to caries detection, assessment, treatment, management, and prevention in contemporary dental practice"--Provided by publisher
