Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) represent one of the most explored categories of nanomaterials for new and improved biomaterials and biotechnologies, with impressive use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, anti-infective therapy and wound care, food and the textile industry.Their extensive and versatile applicability relies on the genuine and
A visual metaphor is an image that allows you convey the meaning that escapes during verbal representation, as well as to enhance the impact of the message.It is for this reason that visual metaphor occupies a special place in pedagogical discourse.The explanation of unknown concepts and phenomena by referring to the formed units of Supports knowle
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital intraoral radiography for the detection of proximal caries adjacent to amalgam, Radar Sensor e.max porcelain, and metal-ceramic restorations (MCRs).Materials and methods Parallel intraoral radiographs were obtained from 40 posteri
Pipe re-sizing of water distribution networks (WDNs) aims at improving the service performance to the required level, while minimizing the cost of replacing pipes in the network.The main challenge comes from the identification of the most effective pipes to re-size from a large number of interacting components.Performing a global search over all pi
This study examines the properties of cement-based materials incorporating composite additions of fly ash and ceramic waste powder (CWP) as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM).The Radar Sensor resistance of the materials to sulfate erosion under dry-wet cycling conditions was investigated through experimental testing.A Box-Behnken Design was
