Cross Infection Control in Impression Making Procedures A Pilot Survey
Abstract: Dental care professionals are at high risk of cross-infection while treating patients. This occupational potential for disease transmission becomes evident when it is considered that most human microbial pathogens have been isolated from oral secretion. The present survey was conducted with the aim of investigating the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of dental staff and students toward cross-infection control during the procedure of impression making. A questionnaire consisting of 16 questions …

Development and Thermal-Soiling Performance Evaluation of Boron-Nitride Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposite Coatings for Solar Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract: Surface heating, dust buildup, and weakening triggered by ultraviolet (UV) light all have a vast effect on the long-term performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. These issues all lower power conversion efficiency in real-world open-air circumstances. A nanocomposite coating built on fluoropolymer (FEP) that is reinforced with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanoparticles is invented by this study to enhance thermal dissipation, optical transmission, and resistance to dirt at the same …

A Review on Aerospace Materials and Metallurgy
Abstract: Aerospace metalworking is comparable to the foundation of both space travel and transportation. It involves the scientific design and application of metals and alloys to offer components with the strength required for flight and the ability to survive harsh environments. Although other alloys feature cobalt or iron as the main ingredient, nickel makes up most of alloys used in aeronautical applications. When exceptionally high strength is required in moderate-temperature settings, …

AI-Driven Prediction of Square-Hole Laser Trepanning Performance in AA7075/15%SiC/15% Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites Using Taguchi–ANOVA and Deep Neural Networks
Abstract: Hybrid AA7075 composites reinforced with 15% silicon carbide (SiC) and 15% glass fiber were fabricated via the stir casting technique to improve machining and structural performance. The addition of dual reinforcements into the aluminum matrix was aimed at enhancing hardness, thermal stability, and surface quality during non-traditional drilling operations. Square-hole drilling was performed using a laser trepanning process, and the key responses—hole size accuracy, surface roughness, and taper angle—were systematically …

Analysis of Three Types of Quartzite as Coarse Aggregate Material and their Impact on Compressive Strength on Concrete
Abstract: Aggregates are the most important constituents of concrete. They give body to the concrete, reduce shrinkage, enhance strength and effect economy. The quartzite rock available in Delhi is a prominent geological material available in the entire Aravali range. Most of the manufacturing of concrete is going on using quartzite as aggregate material. However, three different categories of quartzite have been classified on the basis of its colour composition namely greyish …
