Abstract

There are many reports on the optical properties of natural teeth and fused porcelain. However, only few studies have been reported on the relationship between the firing temperature, and the optical and mechanical properties of metal bonded porcelain. This is a study of the effects of the firing temperature on the optical and mechanical properties of two groups of porcelain, each of which has five kinds, opaque, body, incisal, transparent and glaze respectively. The results were as follows: 1. The chief ingredient of each porcelain was leucite (K2O . Al2O3 . 4SiO2). Some other components were metal oxides used as pigment and opaque, for regulating the recrystallization of leucite in the fused porcelain, for controlling the thermal expansion, and for diffusing in the both sides of alloy and porcelain. 2. About 40% of each porcelain powder consisted of granular powder, smaller than 10 microns in diameter. 3. Measured by using a color analyser, L, a, and b values of all opaque porcelain did not depend upon the firing temperature. L value of the other porcelain showed decrease in proportion to the increase of the firing temperature. And it slightly decreased over 900-940 degrees C. 4. The firing temperature did not affect the tran...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
