Bacillus anthracis, a gram-positive bacillus capable of forming spores, causes anthrax in mammals, including humans, and is recognized as a potential biological weapon agent. The diagnosis of anthrax is challenging due to variable symptoms resulting from exposure and infection severity. Despite the availability of a licensed vaccines, their limited long-term efficacy underscores the inadequacy of current human anthrax vaccines, highlighting the urgent need for next-generation alternatives.

MoSand MoS/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) thin films were grown on SiO/Si substrate by atmospheric chemical vapor deposition technique to study the thermoelectric performance. Few layered MoSwas confirmed by the vibrational analysis and the composition elements are confirmed by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technique.

Therefore, it is necessary to create adequate adhesion at the post-root-cement interface for long-term performance of a post retained restoration.
Aim: To establish the outcome of surface pretreatments such as silanization, sandblasting, and silanization followed by thermal activation of fiber posts on bonding with a dual-cured adhesive resin-based cement.
