Synthesis of new dental nanocomposite with glass nanoparticles Article 7, Vol...Nanomedicine Journal (NMJ)
Objective(s):
The aim of this study was to synthesis new dental nanocomposites reinforced with fabricated glass nanoparticles and compare two methods for fabrication and investigate the effect of this filler on mechanical properties.
Materials and Methods: The glass nanoparticles were produced by wet milling process. The particle size and shape was achieved using PSA and SEM. Glass nanoparticles surface was modified with MPTMS silane. The composite was prepared by mixing these silane-treated nanoparticles with monomers. The resin composition was UDMA /TEGDMA (70/30 weight ratio). Three composites were developed with 5, 7.5 and 10 wt% glass fillers in each group. Two preparation methods were used, in dispersion in solvent method (group D) glass nanoparticles were sonically dispersed in acetone and the solution was added to resin, then acetone was evaporated. In non-dispersion in solvent method (group N) the glass nanoparticles were directly added to resin. Mechanical properties were investigated included flexural strength, flexural modulus and Vickers hardness.
Results:
Higher volume of glass nanoparticles improves mechanical properties of composite. Group D has batter mechanical properties than group N. Flexural strength of composite with 10%w filler of group D was 75Mpa against 59 Mpa of the composite with the same filler content of group N. The flexural modulus and hardness of group D is more than group N.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that dispersion in solvent method is the best way to fabricate nanocomposites and glass nanoparticles is a significant filler to improve mechanical properties of dental nanocomposite.

Este documento proporciona 8 pasos para cambiar la pasta térmica de un procesador. Primero se debe quitar el disipador y ventilador, luego limpiar completamente la pasta térmica existente del disipador y procesador usando alcohol. Después se aplica una pequeña cantidad de nueva pasta térmica al disipador y procesador y se vuelve a colocar el disipador, presionando los tornillos hasta que suene un click y volviendo a conectar el ventilador.
Climate change and the policies instituted to combat it are affecting the realization of the right to food in myriad, often unnoticed ways. This study highlights how the climate change regime and the human rights regime addressing the right to food have failed to coordinate their agendas and to collaborate to each other’s mutual benefit.
The current climate change regime fails to accurately address the human harms resulting from climate change itself, and is not operating with the necessary safeguards and preventive measures to ensure that mitigation and adaptation measures are fully complementary to the right to food obligations of states and non-state actors.
The study proposes concrete methods by which institutions can address climate change problems and realize the right to food symbiotically, in compliance with the principles of systemic integration under international law.

The presentation aims to help marketers transform their understanding and use of email marketing.
Paramakash's blogspot discusses the importance of meditation and mindfulness practices. Regular meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety while improving focus and mental clarity. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can provide significant benefits to overall well-being and quality of life.

Quentin Tarantino impersonated Elvis Presley in an episode of The Golden Girls, an American sitcom that was ranked #69 on the Writers Guild of America's list of the 101 Best Written TV Series of All Time. Tarantino recalled it as a highlight because it was one of the few jobs he got as an Elvis impersonator. He stood out from the other impersonators by wearing his own clothes instead of jumpsuits, portraying the early "Sun Records" style of Elvis.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already have a condition.

Namibia’s system of protected/conservation priority areas with numerous types of ownership and management, and the ecological connectivity within this system, is one of the most impressive examples in the world of the Nature Needs Half vision.
With the recent declaration of Dorob National Park in 2010, Namibia became the first and only country in the world to have its entire coastline under protection via a network of four National Parks. The 1,500km long coastline now contributes to an impressive protected area network totaling about 42% of Namibia’s total land mass, not to mention a newly declared Marine Protected Area (MPA) accounting for an additional 12,000 km2.
Imagine an area in Africa that has never been forcibly colonized; an area home to the most mysterious combination of habitats—desert, in-land river delta, forests. With 45 percent of its land protected, Botswana represents what Nature Needs Half is all about.
The South Caucasus region of Southwest Asia is a superb example of planning for Nature Needs Half in an ecosystem of great natural beauty, critical biodiversity importance, and long established human settlements. An important, life-sustaining target has been established.

This document discusses how nature responds to boom, bust, and bailout cycles in a sustainable way. It provides examples of how nature optimizes resources rather than maximizes consumption, eliminates waste, exhibits resilience by incorporating past mistakes, and respects ecological boundaries and carrying capacities. The document suggests that to avoid future crises, humans could learn from nature by stabilizing populations and consumption locally, developing feedback loops, and co-evolving solutions with local environments instead of attempting to control or dominate natural systems.
