Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.has been widely planted in subtropical China to meet increasing timber demands, leading to short-rotation practices that deplete soil nutrients.However, increased nitrogen (N) deposition offsets soil N depletion.While long-term experimental data investigating the coupled effects related to short rotation practic
An in vitro evaluation of fit of the crowns fabricated by zirconium oxide-based ceramic CAD/CAM systems, before and after porcelain firing cycles and after glaze cycles
Background: The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the vertical marginal fit of crowns fabricated with ZrO2 shades eq 07m CAD/CAM, before and after porcelain firing cycles and after glaze cycles.Materials and Methods: An acrylic resin model of a left maxillary first molar was prepared and duplicated to have Nickel-Chromium master die.
Secularization elsewhere: it is more complicated than that
This paper argues that the modern secularization thesis is in the first place an explanation of the past of European societies and their colonial offshoots and that, contra its critics, it was not intended gruvi golden lager as a universal template.Such momentous historical changes cannot simply be repeated if only because, while the secularization
Responses of Plasma Acetate Metabolism to Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) in Sheep
An ceramic baffle board isotope dilution method using [1-13C]sodium (Na) acetate was conducted to determine the effect of feeding hop (Humulus lupulus L.) residues on plasma acetate metabolism in six adult crossbred sheep.The sheep were fed 63 g/kg BW0.75/d of either mixed hay (MH-diet) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canarygrass (
