A dental cavity in a tooth is the result of the decay process that happens over time when bacteria in the mouth produce acids. In a time, acids can dissolve enamel and cause a hole, which is known as a cavity. Unlike some other injuries, a cavity will not heal by itself and needs to be filled. Several different materials are available, and each material has advantages and disadvantages.
Dental fillings can be categorized as direct or indirect restorations. Direct restorations are fillings that get inserted into a cavity in a single visit. These substances include consisting of amalgams, glass and resin ionomers and composite ...

Optical microscopy – is the technical field of studying objects using optical microscopes. Optical microscopes are devices that use visible light rays as both eye works in the optical wavelength range. So, optical microscopes could not have diffraction limits resolution less than 0.2 micrometers (200 nanometers) and with maximum magnification up to 2000 times. The human eye is a biological optical system, characterized by a certain resolution - the smallest distance between the elements of the observed object, while they can still be distinguished from one another. For a normal eye, at a distance from the object to the so-called. best vision distance (D = ...

A photon is particle characterizing a quantum of light or any other electromagnetic radiation. Generally, the term photon is used to illustrate the whole electromagnetic spectrum. It seems like a point-like particle because it is absorbed or released as a whole by arbitrary minute systems which are much smaller than its wavelength. Photons exhibit wave-particle duality i.e. displaying properties of both waves and particles though this is difficult to visualize without laboratory equipment. They display clearly wave-like phenomena like diffraction and interference on the length scale of its wavelength. In the same way as all elementary particles, photons are presently explained by ...

Introduction

The microscope is derived from two Greek words, mikros and skopeo. Mikros means small while skopeo means “look at.” Thus, the two words form the word mikroskopeo that refers to looking or observing small objects. Since the beginning of scientific developments, there has been an interest to look at the smaller details of the world around us. Biologists have taken the lead in the quest to uncover such small details through their desire to examine cells, viruses, bacteria, and colloidal particles. Material scientists have wanted to observe the limitations and inhomogeneities in metals, ceramics, and crystals. Geologists have also ...

Introduction

The special theory of relativity is a theory proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905 that illustrates light and matter propagation at high speeds.

Einstein’s theory is based on two main ideas:

The principle of relativity: stipulates that the law of physics is invariable for anything that is in constant motion.
The principle of speed of light: stipulates that the speed of light is also constant for any object in any point from which it is being referred. This means that it the same for various observers regardless of their movement in relation to the source of light. Einstein established this principle after noticing a rational flaw in the ...

A motion picture refers to a series of still images, which when viewed in brisk succession, seem to be moving. There are two principles behind the creation of the illusion of movement of the pictures. These include; persistence of vision and displacement. Persistence of vision is a phenomenon that enables us to see the frames as a constant image without the incursion of seeing the space between the frames. Our brains form a visual impression upon seeing an image and the image loiters until the next image displaces it. Displacement, conversely, forms the illusion of movement. As the image shifts from frame to ...

What is an alkane? Any hydrocarbon which has only single bonds is an alkane and because these

hydrocarbons have a hydrogen in all possible locations they are called saturated and thus they
have this general formula, CnH2n+2.

But an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which has at least one carbon-carbon triple bond

without any other functional groups thus they have given general formula of CnH2n-2.

Cis-trans isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism in which the position of the functional groups

differs, also known as geometric isomerism. The different is the orientation of the functional
groups as we know in cis isomerism the both functional groups are on the same side though in
trans isomerism they are located on the opposite side.

Visions as Aliens?

There are two similar descriptions in the Bible of men that appear as visions in the Old Testament to Daniel (Standard King James Version, Daniel 10:5) and in the New Testament to John (Rev. 1:13-16). Although there is much religious scholarly debate as to whether these visions are of Jesus or merely an angel, it remains that the description of these men are highly similar to each other and contain very specific details that provide many points of reference. These descriptions can be used in the current time in an attempt to interpret what might have actually happened, in ...

What is IR?

IR or infrared is an electromagnetic radiation, one of radiations of light. This radiation has the longest wavelength in comparison with other visible light waves and less in comparison with radio waves, starting from the red edge of visible light up to 1mm. Due to the fact that infrared has the longest wavelength it contains the most thermal energy. Approximately more than half of the thermal energy from sun is received in form of infrared radiations, therefore the balance in emitted and absorbed radiations has great role in earth’s climate.

What is UV?

The technique of low coherence reflectometry has been extended to tomographic imaging in the systems of the biological. The light from the coherence property which is reflected from the retina provides the required information from the reflective boundaries of the delay on the time-of-flight. This delayed information helps in determining the longitudinal site location of the reflection. This is achieved by the use of OCT system’s scans providing the location of the reflected site map in a two-dimension. It uses a mode that operates in the analogous which is then converted to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging .
The resolution of the ...

The harnessing of solar energy is basically the collection of radiant light and heat from the sun. The radiant light and heat that is harnessed is put to use using different technologies and is in the end stored for future use. The only way this energy can be stored is through the use of thermal mass systems. These systems store energy in the form of heat for seasonal or daily durations.
Thermal storage takes the form of materials with a high specific heat capacity. Some materials such as Glauber’s salt and paraffin wax are relatively cheap and available ...

Reflection and Refraction

As air is the most essential resource for our survival, the light is the most important phenomenon for our perception. Although being a pretty complex phenomenon, the behavior of light in our everyday interactions can be simplified and approximated to the geometrical optics. In this field of physics, the light propagation is described in terms of rays. The rays come through the wave fronts (being tangent to them) and are an effective approximation because usually light moves in straight lines. The rays are linear in homogenous media; they can bend or be curved if the refractive index of the ...

Introduction

Stomata are sections in plants leaves that regulate the amount of water vapor and gases entering in and out of green plant leaves. Stomata are very essential in the control of water loss through the plant leaves in a process of transpiration. In light plants, transpiration is highest in the presence of sunlight because the guard cells fully open the stomata. Dark plants use the inverted stomatal rhythm and the openings of the stomata are wider in the dark. The opening of the stomata in leaves increases with time: at the beginning, fewer are open but after sometime majority become ...

Reflection and Refraction of Light

REFLECTION:
Reflection of light is the change of direction that light experiences when it collides with an object and "bounces." The reflection of light makes it possible to see objects that do not emit their light . There are several applications of the reflection. One example is the "The Laugh House" of an amusement park, the person will probably see a very distorted image in a curved mirror. Similar deformations occur in the concavity of a shiny spoon or on the polished surfaces of a coffee machine or a car. Images look different due to irregular surface curvature; They have ...

Each of the architectural designs has its own outstanding and unique features that make them stand as original. In history, we can take note of the Romanesque architecture of the Medieval Europe between sixth and tenth century. Two centuries later, it evolved into Gothic architecture, commonly applied in building medieval cathedrals, which lasted for four centuries to the sixteenth century. Apart from these being history, there are specific architectural elements that in the eyes of the medieval builder are the result of not only technical but also spiritual quest.

The revolution of Mexican Architecture led to the emergence of many architects who sought to bring about modernism in Mexico. However, most of the architects focused on developing modern aspects or rather styles with little or no consideration of the traditional designs. Luis Barragan sought to link traditional architectural designs with his rather modern outlook of his works. He used his art to express the poetic richness of Mexico’s past. He also used his works to address the aesthetic trends of the modern world. The two aspects that inspired Luis were the physical beauty of nature as well ...
