Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Dental Fluorosis
Abstract: Introduction: Dental fluorosis remains one of the most common disorders affecting the teeth, starting right from the early age. Hence it is important to prevent dental fluorosis from the school age level. To a certain duration (as per WHO; 0.6 ppm), fluoride ingestion is useful for teeth and bone development, but excessive ingestion causes a disease called fluorosis. The greatest matter in dental fluorosis is aesthetic modification in the permanent …

Thermodynamic Analysis of an Adsorption Refrigeration System
Abstract: In this paper, thermodynamics analysis of an adsorption refrigeration pair (activated carbon and methanol) at adsorption equilibrium conditions has been proposed. Similar analyses have been done by different scientists for different combinations of adsorbent-adsorbate pairs. Adsorption refrigeration processes normally occurs in physical adsorption condition and activated carbon molecules being nonpolar in nature, micropores approach of adsorption (Polanyi’s micropores theory and D-A equation) has been followed here. Analysis of the adsorption …
