    Abstracts 1-68 Relate to the Sunday Program Biology 1. 100 Years of Genetics William Sofer, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ Almost exactly 100 years ago, Thomas Hunt Morgan and his coworkers at Columbia University began studying a small fly, Drosophila melanogaster, in an effort to learn something about the laws of heredity. After a while, they found a single white-eyed male among many thousands of normal red-eyed males and females. The analysis of the offspring that resulted from crossing this mutant male with red-eyed females led the way to the discovery of what determines whether an individual becomes a male or a female, and the relationship of chromosomes and genes. 2. Streptomycin - Antibiotics from the Ground Up Douglas Eveleigh, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ Antibiotics are part of everyday living. We benefit from their use through prevention of infection of cuts and scratches, control of diseases such as typhoid, cholera and potentially of bioterrorist's pathogens, besides allowing the marvels of complex surgeries. Antibiotics are a wondrous medical weapon. But where do they come from? The unlikely answer is soil. Soil is home to a teeming population of insects and roots, plus billions of microbes - billions. But life is not harmonious in soil. Some microbes have evolved strategies to dominate their territory; one strategem is the production of antibiotics. In the 1940s, Selman Waksman, with his research team at Rutgers University, began the first ever search for such antibiotic producing micro-organisms amidst the thousands of soil microbes. The first antibiotics they discovered killed microbes but were toxic to humans.

KM exhibits lower CTE values (p<0.001). D exhibits significant differences (p<0.001), showing greater CTE values. KN exhibits great differences (p<0.001) in higher temperatures. Qualitative differences were also noted in CTE diagrams, diversifying between expansion and contraction, as temperature raised. Type of GIC and light intensity of curing device affect thermal behavior. Extrinsic energy offer had no important effect on CTE values.

  • Compressive and Flexural Strengths of High-Strength Glass Ionomer Cements: a Systematic Review Ridyumna Garain1, Mikayeel Abidi2, Zain Mehkri3
    REVIEW ARTICLE Compressive and Flexural Strengths of High-strength Glass Ionomer Cements: A Systematic Review Ridyumna Garain1, Mikayeel Abidi2, Zain Mehkri3 ABSTRACT Objective: To perform a systematic review of test methodologies of high-strength restorative glass ionomer cement (GIC) materials for compressive (CS) and flexural strengths (FS) to compare the results between different GICs. Materials and methods: Screening of titles and abstracts, data extraction, and quality assessment was conducted in search for in vitro studies, which reported on CS and/or FS properties of high-strength GIC. PubMed/Medline (US National Library of Medicine—National Institutes of Health), EBSCO, and ProQuest databases were searched for the relevant literature. Results: A total of 123 studies were found. These were then assessed based on preestablished inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the selected studies, two studies of fair quality tested CS, while none tested FS. The CS of experimental groups in both studies was less than their respective control groups. Discussion: It was observed that many studies reported following the International Standards Organization (ISO) recommendations for testing but with modifications. Additionally, in absence of guidelines for testing other parameters that may be potentially advantageous, authors have used differing experimental techniques. These disparities make it difficult to draw comparisons between different studies. Conclusion: Only two studies of fair quality showed lower CS of experimental groups compared to their respective control groups. Lack of adherence to guidelines and lack of guidelines for potentially better test methodologies make it difficult to scrutinize and compare the validity of the research being conducted. Keywords: Compressive strength, Flexural strength, Glass ionomer cement, High strength GIC, Materials testing, Review, Standards.

  • GLASS and GLASS SEALANTS AS BIOCERAMICS INDU BALA Roll No
    GLASS AND GLASS SEALANTS AS BIOCERAMICS Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for The award of the degree of Master of Technology In MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Submitted by INDU BALA Roll No.60602008 Under the guidance of Dr. Kulvir Singh School of Physics & Material Sciences Thapar University, Patiala Patiala - 147001 June-2008 Dedicated to my loving parents ABSTRACT The optimization of bioactive glasses requires a proper understanding of chemical, physical mechanical and biological properties. The formation of a hydroxyapatite layer on silica based bioactive glasses has already been investigated by many researchers. In the present investigation, calcium based glasses of different composition have been synthesized by taking appropriate proportion of each oxide composition. The samples are charatererized by using the various techniques viz, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible spectroscopy, and FT-IR, density and solubility measurements. The entire samples were dipped in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for different time duration. Sample AS1 and AS3 show the formation of hydroxyapatite layer. On the other hand, samples AS2 and AS4 were not formed the hydroxyapatite layer. Apart from this, AS1 and AS3 samples also exhibit higher durability as compared to other two samples (AS2 and AS4).

Tel.: +61 2 9385 4017 E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract Objectives. Understand how discontinuous short glass fibers and braided long fibers can be effectively used to reinforce a resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) for carious lesions restorations. Methods. Two control groups (powder/liquid kit and capsule) were prepared from a light cured RMGIC. Either discontinuous short glass fibers or braided polyethylene fiber ribbons were used as a reinforcement both with and without pre-impregnation with resin. For the former case, the matrix was the powder/liquid kit RMGIC, and for the latter case the matrix was the capsule form. Flexural strength was evaluated by three-point beam bending and fracture toughness was evaluated by the single-edge V-notch beam method. Compressive strength tests were performed on cylindrical samples. Results were compared by analysis of variances and Tukey’s post-hoc test. Flexural strength data were analyzed using Weibull statistical analysis. Results. The short fiber reinforced RMGIC both with and without pre-impregnation showed a significant increase of ~50% in the mean flexural strength and 160 – 220% higher fracture toughness compared with the powder/liquid RMGIC control.
