Corrosion is a phenomenon in which metal is degraded when it is exposed to the environment. This deterioration of the metal leads to many impacts such as structure damage and material failure, leakage, environmental contamination, economic loss etc. This has made to find the solution so as to protect the material and corrosion inhibitor is one among several corrosion control strategies. These are typically molecules which adsorb onto the surface of the substrate and avoid its interaction with the environment thereby inhibiting the corrosion. These inhibitors are applied in many systems such as heat exchangers, storage tanks, boilers, cooling towers, pipes etc. Chromate being such a type of inhibitor is discriminated due to its non-environmentally friendly nature. Instead, scientific community is in search of highly performing green inhibitors for mostly employed industrially important steel materials. Curcumin and its derivatives satisfy this primary criterion along with the added advantages like economical, easy to obtain and hazardous free quality.

Amitav Ghosh is a writer who has embraced almost every genre of fictional and non-fictional writing in English. His span of writing covers history, science fiction, marginalized, post-colonial, feministic approach but with the single motive of bringing to the readers that which has not been discussed so far. Though he is emotionally and professionally bound to his native land, his stories do travel afar, particularly Middle East, America, Britain and Bangladesh but each time he returns to his origins, namely India and Bangladesh. Every. journey is an exploration of ties both old and new, sometimes delving deep into the fathoms of the colonial past and at others an examination of people, a journey into the realms of human feelings and sufferings.

Despite the unanswered questions on the physiologic mechanisms that explain the effectiveness of intra-oral appliances on reducing symptoms of TMD, there is still a plethora of documentation that intra-oral appliance when used in the management plan accurately, can contribute to the relief of TMD symptoms. The clinician is encouraged to evaluate fully each particular patient case in an effort to develop a differential diagnosis that leads to effective management plan.Before commencing any appliance therapy for a TMD, the clinician should be confident that the patient will benefit from the therapeutic approach. If the symptoms reduced that will provide additional diagnostic information. The clinician also needs to consider that 40% of patients suffering from TMD demonstrate favorable response to therapy from a placebo effect. As with any treatment, a good patient-dentist relationship and concomitant with patent education, can alloy patient feelings and anxieties. It can contribute to a positive and favorable response to intra-oral occlusal splint therapy.

Osseointegration is defined as a direct structural and functional connection between ordered, living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant, is critical for implant stability, and is considered a prerequisite for implant loading and long-term clinical success of end osseous dental implants. The implant¿tissue interface in Implant is an extremely dynamic region of interaction. This processes of osseointegration basically involve an initial interlocking between alveolar bone and the implant body. Later, it lead to biological fixation through continuous bone apposition and remodeling toward the implant. The process is quite complex and there are several factors that influence the formation and maintenance of bone at the implant-tissue surface. The aim of the present review is the analysis of the clinical outcome and factors that determine the success & failure of osseointegrated dental implants.

In order to overcome this problem, solar tracking systems are used to increase the capability and improve the performance of the photo voltanic panel.

The United States currently has unprecedented power. How the United States harnesses that power will have a profound and enduring effect on the next generation of Americans and the world. Lee Hamilton explains how the U.S. can lead as a benign power.Americans must ask themselves what they want to do with this power. How will the U.S. protect itself? How will we protect our friends and allies? What is the future of international cooperation, security, and economic globalization? How does the U.S. want to be perceived in the world, and how will that perception help or hinder our ability to get things done?To this day, American Jews remain largely oblivious to the sea change in the status of the Jewish community in the last half-century. Much of the world views American Jewry as a focused bloc of influential, determined believers, firmly entrenched in the American power structure. The average American Jew views his or her community as a scattered congregation of six million-odd individuals of similar origins and diverse beliefs, fortunate children and grandchildren of immigrant tailors and peddlers.
