Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the surface hardness and the morphologic microstructure of white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) and Aureoseal in acid environment.
Methods: WMTA and Aureoseal were mixed and packed into 64 cylindrical stainless steel molds. Thirty-two of each group were exposed to pH values of 4.4 and 7.4, respectively, for 7 days. Four specimens, 2 exposed to acid pH and 2 exposed to pH of 7.4, were prepared for evaluation under scanning electron microscope by using scattered electron (SE) and backscattered electron (BSE) detectors. Vickers surface hardnesses were measured in the remaining 60 samples.
Results: The mean surface hardness values ± standard deviation were 37.54 ± 1.52 and 30.24 ± 1.47 for WMTA and 40.63 ± 1.35 and 28.67 ± 1.07 for Aureoseal after exposure to pH values of 7.4 and 4.4, respectively. WMTA showed higher hardness values in acid environment than Aureoseal, which showed the highest microhardness at pH values of 7.4. The SE detector revealed crystal formation on the WMTA surface at pH values of 7.4 and 4.4. In the WMTA specimens the BSE detector showed more unhydrated structures at pH values of 4.4 than at 7.4. The SE detector did not reveal crystal formation on the Aureoseal specimens at pH 7.4 and 4.4. BSE detection showed amorphous microstructures in the Aureoseal specimens treated in the pH 4.4 acid environment.
Conclusions: There was significant interaction between the cements and the environments where the cements hardened.

The high salt content and color are regarded as a major challenge to the reuse of industrial wastewater. In the present study, the application of cellulose acetate reverse osmosis (RO) membrane in combination with microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), or nanofiltration (NF) process was investigated in the purification of biological and Fenton treated pulp and paper wastewater. In the first step, the effect of pH and inlet pressures on the membrane fouling was investigated.

The additive manufacturing of hardmetals has attracted great attention recently but faces significant challenges in low printing resolution and low mechanical strength. Herein, the fabrication of hardmetal parts with complex structures and high surface quality by vat photopolymerization assisted with a sintering process has been achieved. This was enabled by in situ polymerization-induced microencapsulation of WC powder, which simultaneously enhances the photocuring ability and sedimentation stability of the WC-Co slurry.

Statement Of Problem: Infrared radiation heating (IRH) technology has been innovatively applied to the annealing of selective laser melted (SLM) cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) frameworks. However, previous studies have not reported the effects of IRH on the warping deformation and mechanical properties of these frameworks.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effects of IRH on the warping deformation and mechanical properties of dental SLM Co-Cr alloy and to evaluate its potential applications in dental restorations.

The designated uses of lakes connect individuals to the natural environment, but some can expose recreational users to pathogens associated with fecal contamination that cause waterborne illnesses. Routine monitoring of fecal indicators in surface waters helps identify and track sources of fecal contamination to protect public health. We examined fecal indicators ( and enterococci) and factors influencing recreational freshwater quality.
