BASF Set To Commercialize pro-t-action(TM) Eliminating Caries Causing Bacteria From the Mouth

... With an eye to help remedy a main cause of tooth decay affecting an estimated 5 billion people ... mutans, initiate the onset of tooth decay converting the sugar from food into acids. These ... to significantly reduce the levels of decay up to 27 percent on average," said Dr. Tanzer. ...

Brown chemists create more efficient palladium fuel cell catalysts

... their catalysts lost 16 percent of its surface area, compared to a 64-percent loss in surface area in commercial catalysts. "We managed to ebb the decay of our catalyst by our approach," said Mazumder, who is in his second year in Sun's lab. "We made high-quality palladium nanoparticles, put them ...

Magellan to Receive Frost & Sullivan 2009 North American Product Innovation Award; Three-Minute LeadCare(R) II Test Identifies Children with Lead Poisoning

... elevated blood-lead levels and lowered IQ, behavior and learning problems, increased drug abuse and crime, and adult health problems -- from dental decay and osteoporosis to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and even early cognitive deterioration associated with aging. Studies also show that infants and ...

Genetic discovery could lead to advances in dental treatment

... who smoke, drink and especially some who use illegal drugs such as methamphetamine. And most cavities start as a hole in tooth enamel that allows decay to begin. ...

Laser Energetics to Integrate BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite Lasers in Medical and Dental Applications

... applications, and blood clot detection to name just a few applications. In addition, the lasers can be used in the dental market for low trauma decay treatment and teeth cleaning. There are many more medical and dental laser applications that LEI's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers can address. ...

Transient Gene Expression Following Single and Double Exponential Decay Electroporation Pulses

... transient expression than a single exponential decay pulse. Moreover, separate ... of a short duration, exponential decay pulse followed by a second capacitor ... not compare the results of single, exponential decay pulses to the expression produced by ...

Use of X-rays to advance wood-decay knowledge leads to honor for Forest Products Lab biologist

... 2005 Chief's Honor Award for Distinguished Science for her work on wood decay and for other work. The award was presented in a recent Washington ... for employing high-intensity X-rays to examine the mechanisms of wood decay and of subsequent recycling of woody biomass. In her research, Illman ...

UW discovery could lead to new TB treatments

... by microbes to antibiotics currently in use. Tuberculosis, once commonly referred to as consumption, has a long history. Evidence of tubercular decay has been found in the bones of Egyptian mummies. It was identified by Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, as the most widespread and fatal ...

Time gated separation of lanthanide luminescence

... according to a chosen delay time and detection-window size. Acquisition of a spectrum corresponding to any desired time-slice during the luminescence decay is possible. Luminescence lifetime measurements are made by recording the intensity of a specific wavelength with a chosen detection-window size and ...

Phosphorescence lifetime measured using the SPEX phosphorimeter

... curves of peptide with terbium ion alone (τ = 3.8 ms), and in the presence of fluorescein (τ = 3.0 ms). The faster phosphorescence decay in the presence of fluorescein (curve 4-b) confirms energy-transfer from the peptide-Tb donor to the fluorescein acceptor.

Characterization of tooth decay

... Introduction Quick and quantitative analytical evaluation of tooth decay is required in any study of the environmental factors promoting such decay. This information is essential to any study of which dental products are ...

Electroporation of Yeast Artificial Chromosomes

... before they have a chance to enter the cell. Lower voltage experiments with the Gene Pulser apparatus (which generates an exponential decay pulse) have a less disruptive effect on large DNA molecules, but they also yield lower transformation efficiencies. 3,4 The ...
