The crown is a steady prosthesis designed to restore the functionality of a damaged tooth along, with its shape and size. They are also used to reinforce the tooth that poses long-term risk due to wide cavities and accidental injuries. The crowns are fixed using dental cement made of different materials such as porcelain cement, ceramics, etc. The present work aims to assess the mechanical properties – stiffness and strength, of the single molar crown prosthetic tooth materials to determine the efficacy of each material under typical masticatory load observed in clinical settings. To this end, the finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of the molar crowns made of Zirconium (Zr), Nickel Chromium (Ni-Cr), and Gold alloy (Au-Ag). The crown models were created in Solidworks and exported to the ANSYS FE package. The exported three-dimensional models were subjected to varying loading conditions – vertical and oblique forces to the tooth axis under suitable displacement boundary conditions. Due to a relatively high elastic modulus, the Zr and Ni-Cr alloy exhibited a higher stress concentration and lower deformation on the crown’s intaglio surface compared to the Au-Ag alloy.

Yam tubers (Dioscorea rotundata) and soil from commercially cultivated farmland in northcentral Nigeria were collected and investigated for their natural radioactivity content using a 3” × 3” NaI(Tl) gamma detector. Average activities of 238U, 232Th and 40K in the investigated farm soil were 38.13±3.76 Bq kg-1, 15.06±0.99 Bq kg-1 and 381.80±15.50 Bq kg-1, respectively. The results agree with the world’s acceptable levels of safety. Activities measured in the yam tubers were in the range from BDL -76.68±9.73 Bq kg-1 for 238U, BDL - 19.77±1.30 Bq kg-1 for 232Th and 312.50±20.73 - 627.94±38.37 Bq kg-1 for 40K, with average values of 29.23±4.0, 13.10±0.72 and 445.10±27.20 Bq kg-1, respectively. The total effective dose from radionuclide intake from yam ingestion fluctuated between 272.12 μSv y-1 and 935.97 μSv y-1. Correlation analysis identified 238U and 232Th as the leading contributors to the total effective dose from ingesting yam tubers cultivated in northcentral Nigeria.

Goat’s milk fermented whey, honey, and red fruit extract can be used for making face masks because they can increase the effectiveness of mask. Whey has smaller fat globules so it helped nutrients absorbed better in to the skin, the honey and red fruit contain flavonoids and phenolics to keep skin moist, clean, and it also produced the antioxidant properties of fermented whey masks. This study aimed to determine the formulation of the fermented whey mask as well as its physical characteristics and antioxidant properties. Fermented whey masks were tested for their physical characteristic such as pH, water activity, spreading ability, drying time and antioxidant properties to see which formulation produced a mask with good test results. The study was tested using a completely randomized factorial design. Result showed that mask with addition of 10% honey had better physical characteristic such as pH, water activity, spreading ability, drying time and antioxidant activity than the addition of 5% honey. Results gained from this study were prospected to be developed into the shelf life stability and dermatologically because it has the potential to be developed commercially.

In this study, the results of the uranium concentrations and specific activity in 10 rice samples are described using a solid-state track detector (CR-39). Samples were collected from various local Iraqi markets with different origins (Iraq, India, America, and Thailand). Our findings found that the results of uranium concentration in all studied samples are ranging from (0.55 ± 0.28 to 1.74 ± 0.31) ppm with a weighted average of (1.24 ± 0.99) ppm. Also, results demonstrate that the specific activity values of the studied samples swing between values of (6.88 ± 3.52 and 21.49 ± 3.85) Bq/Kg. The obtained results of the studied rice samples are indicated that it is less than the acceptable limit of those studies established by many organizations such as the United Nations scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation (UNSCEAR), the international atomic energy agency (IAEA), the world health organization (WHO), and others.

Carbon stock in mangrove stands is estimated through the biomass approach multiplied by the value of the mangrove carbon fraction. Many researchers use the value of 47% as the carbon fraction value for all mangrove species which should be based on the actual carbon content value. The research was conducted using the literature review method using a database ScienceDirect and Google Scholar until 2022. The search strategy was carried out using keywords: mangrove biomass, mangrove carbon stock, organic carbon of mangrove, carbon fraction of mangrove biomass, and chemical composition of mangrove biomass. The results showed that the value of the carbon fraction with the approach of organic carbon content was 46.4% and lower than the value of the carbon fraction with the approach of compounds making up mangrove biomass, which was 46.82%. This value was contributed by carbohydrates at 26.20%, amino acids 2.97%, tannins 3.22%, lignins 3.38%, fatty acids 7.69%, triterpenoids 3.17%, and n-alkanes 0.19. %. The estimation of mangrove carbon stock in forests with homogeneous species can use the value of carbon fraction in each mangrove species, namely 46.3% for B. gymnorrhiza, 45.9% for R. apiculata, and 47.1% for S. alba. Meanwhile , a carbon fraction value of 46.82% can be used for all true mangrove species to estimate the carbon stock in forests with heterogeneous mangrove species.

To fully understand intricate enzyme reaction models, one must explore beyond the confines of chemical and biological tools and look toward mathematical modeling and model reduction techniques. Mathematical modeling and model reduction techniques have the potential to provide a vast array of analysis tools for such models. This piece of work entails a review and discussion of a complex noncompetitive inhibitor model. This model is composed of seven non-linear differential equations with constant rates. We propose two efficient model reduction techniques: quasi- steady-state approximation (QSSA) and quasi-equilibrium approximation (QEA). By utilizing the suggested methods, the model equations are segregated into slow and fast subsystems, leading to the attainment of reduced models and slow manifolds with fewer variables and parameters. The outcomes manifest some analytical approximate solutions for the proposed model and establish a profound agreement between model dynamics for both the original and the reduced models. Observing that the reduced models can accurately identify certain critical model parameters is intriguing.

Five types of silica aerogel were prepared at ambient pressure: sodium silicate, TEOS, and sodium silicate, with TEOS utilized as precursors. We investigated the effects of catalysis, mixing water or ethanol with the precursors, as well as the procedure of modification. Aqueous is a low-cost alternative, and many applications utilize it. A manufacturing colloidal silicic acid hydrosol was created from the ion exchange of an industrial water glass. The properties of physical, chemical, and hydrophobicity were examined via density, XRD, FTIR, and contact angle. BET, FESEM, and EDS analysis determined the structural properties. The silica hydrogel's pore liquid (H20) was successively removed. The spectral properties confirmed the modification by the derived high contact angle of 152º, low transparency, and amorphous structure. The resulting aerogel monoliths have a well-developed mesoporous structure, a large specific surface area of 961 m2/g, and a low density of 0.04 g/cm3.

The results of TL studies in aqueous grown undoped KCl crystals are reported. A de-convolution of TL curve into five component peaks has been performed and trap depths have been obtained. The importance of bi-vacancy has been established as a fundamental trap and its anion vacancy end has also been proposed as a suitable trap for thermoluminescence in KCl crystals. The traps at anion vacancies linked to impurity vacancy I-V pairs have also been envisaged and the shift in the depths of traps is attributed to the electric field of I-V pairs in the lattice caused by inherent divalent ions. Some traps linked to hydroxyl groups have also been identified.
