Coconut coir dust has a potential utilization as bio-fuel pellet.The objective of this contribution is to understand the mechanical characterisation of coconut coir under compaction.Four moulds with hole diameter of 6, moonbon 12, 20 and 25 mm are adopted in producing coconut coir pellet.Data of unit pellet density, compression force and specific e
Aims: This in-vitro study aimed to compare the fatigue deformation of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr) clasps by mechanical cycling test simulating ten years of use.Materials and cushcraft ar-10 Methods: 72 clasps samples were fabricated on a standardized e-max upper right first premolar; it is divided into 24 Co-Cr clasps, a
Introduction: The extraction of premolars as a practical form of orthodontic therapy has been accepted for many years, but there remains a controversy regarding the effect of premolar extraction to improve esthetics as well as dentoskeletal relationship.The esthetic impact of the soft-tissue profile might play a major role in deciding on premolar e
This paper provides an overview of an early attempt at developing a simulation model on a solid-state transformer (SST) based on input-serial and output-parallel (ISOP) topology.The proposed SST is designed as a base for a smart grid (SG).The paper provides a theoretical review of the power converters under consideration, as well as their control t
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a common neurogenic condition characterized by heterozygous loss of function mutations in the neurofibromin gene.NF1 patients are susceptible to the development of neurofibromas, including plexiform neurofibromas (pNFs), which occurs in about half of all cases.Plexiform neurofibroma are benign peripheral nerve shea
