    The Effect of Thermocycling on the Failure Load of a Standard Orthodontic Resin in Shear-Peel, Tension, and Torsion

    Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)New products are frequently developed for bonding brackets. This continuum brings about incessant studies attempting to prove or disprove their value. The need to compare the results of bond failure studies is made difficult if not impossible by the variation of published testing methods. The purpose of this study is to compare the differential effects of thermocycling, as a lab protocol, on three debonding techniques, shear-peel, tension, and torsion when using a traditional orthodontic resin adhesive. A standard orthodontic resin, Transbond™ XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA) was used to bond 102 flattened 0.018-inch stainless steel brackets (3M Unitek) to flattened bovine incisors. Two step acid etching and priming (37 % phosphoric acid gel and Transbond MIP Primer, 3M Unitek) was used to prepare the enamel for bonding. During bonding, the resin thickness was held consistent. The bonding was accomplished under controlled temperature and humidity. Half of the samples were thermocycled prior to debonding. The samples were debonded in shear-peel, tension, and torsion. The data showed no significant differences between thermocycling and nonthermocycling in shear-peel or torsion, but in tension the thermocycling group had a statistically significant higher failure load. Overall, was a trend toward increased bond strength in the thermocycled group. The increase is likely the result of continued polymerization during thermocycling. The statistical difference that is noted in tension is thought to be due to the location of the highest stress being in the center of the resin pad. This would be the location of the least initial polymerization. The use of thermocycling as a lab protocol during bracket failure studies in shear-peel and torsion is not necessary when using traditional orthodontic resin

    Political life writing in the Pacific

    No full text
    This book aims to reflect on the experiential side of writing political lives in the Pacific region. The collection touches on aspects of the life writing art that are particularly pertinent to political figures: public perception and ideology; identifying important political successes and policy initiatives; grappling with issues like corruption and age-old political science questions about leadership and ‘dirty hands’. These are general themes but they take on a particular significance in the Pacific context and so the contributions explore these themes in relation to patterns of colonisation and the memory of independence; issues elliptically captured by terms like ‘culture’ and ‘tradition’; the nature of ‘self’ presented in Pacific life writing; and the tendency for many of these texts to be written by ‘outsiders’, or at least the increasingly contested nature of what that term means

    The influence of African sculpture on British art, 1910-1930

    No full text
    This thesis aims to discuss the influence of African wood sculpture on British art from 1910 to 1930. It proposes that the works, tastes and pronouncements of various 20th century British artists betray this influence and that although the British artists did not initially understand the conceptual foundations of African sculpture their limited knowledge was just sufficient for the modernization of British art through the adaptation of the formal qualities of African art. In assessing the validity of these propositions the thesis examines the factors and issues that facilitated the influence. Chapter 1 discusses the formal qualities of African wood sculpture that attracted the British artists. It outlines the unusual figural proportions, the free and direct use of planar, linear and solid geometry, the treatment of material and its surfaces. The conceptual foundations of African sculpture are generally outlined in Chapter 2. The extent to which the British artists understood these foundations is also discussed. Chapter 3 concerns the introduction of African sculpture to Britain and discusses the development of the anthropological and subsequent aesthetic interest that it aroused. Both the Post-Impressionist Exhibitions and the Omega Workshops which facilitated its influence are examined. Chapter 4 examines the concept and attempts to categorize the nature of this influence. The last three chapters act as case studies in which the impact of African sculpture on Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska and Henry Moore is examined. The conclusion discusses the term 'Primitive' and the British artists and the 'Primitive

    Frestas no Tempo e as Novas Agentividades Históricas no Antropoceno

    O presente artigo tem como objetivo refletir acerca da reconfiguração epistemológica da ciência histórica suscitada pelo conceito de Antropoceno. Para tanto, foi dividido em três partes. Na primeira, a partir de autores como Ailton Krenak, Keith Thomas, Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers e Pierre Clastres questiona-se a neutralidade dos discursos científicos e filosóficos. A segunda parte se destina a analisar as diversas formas de se compreender historicamente e de se nomear a atual crise socioambiental tendo como base as contribuições de Jason Moore e Donna Haraway. Por fim, avalia, no campo da ciência histórica, algumas implicações teóricas da percepção de que o planeta é dotado de uma historicidade própria. Para isso, dialoga com o geocientista Jan Zalasiewicz e demais autores, como Zoltan Simon que propõe outras formas de se pensar agentividades históricas, temporalidades e a própria noção de historicidade

    Dietary patterns in infancy: the importance of maternal and family influences on feeding practice

    No full text
    It is not known what constitutes an optimal diet in infancy. There are relatively few studies of weaning practice in the UK, and there is a need for prospective data on the effects of infant diet and nutrition on health in later life. We describe the dietary patterns, defined using principal components analysis of FFQ data, of 1434 infants aged 6 and 12 months, born between 1999 and 2003. The two most important dietary patterns identified at 6 and 12 months were very similar. The first pattern was characterised by high consumption of fruit, vegetables and home-prepared foods ('infant guidelines' pattern). The second pattern was characterised by high consumption of bread, savoury snacks, biscuits and chips ('adult foods' pattern). Dietary pattern scores were correlated at 6 and 12 months (r 0.46 'infant guidelines'; r 0.45 'adult foods'). These patterns, which reflect wide variations in weaning practice, are associated with maternal and family characteristics. A key influence on the infant diet is the quality of the maternal diet. Women who comply with dietary recommendations, and who have high intakes of fruit and vegetables, wholemeal bread and rice and pasta, are more likely to have infants who have comparable diets - with high 'infant guidelines' pattern scores. Conversely, women whose own diets are characterised by high intakes of chips, white bread, crisps and sweets are more likely to have infants who have high 'adult foods' pattern scores. The effects of these patterns on growth and development, and on long-term outcomes need to be investigated
