The process of mechanical root canal preparation creates smear layer. The smear layer can prevent the penetration of intracanal medicaments into dentinal tubules and influence the adaptation of filling materials to canal walls. The purpose of this study is to compare the smear layer removal ability of root canal irrigation methods with chelat solution.

Variceal bleeding is a severe complicaton of portal hypertension due to cirrhosis with high rate of motality. The aims of this study was to compare the accuracy of CTP - crea (creatinine-modified Child Turcotte Pugh score) with traditional CTP and MELD score for predicting in rebleeding and mortality within first five days and 6-week in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding.

In this study, a comprehensive database of 146 URM walls was compiled from 26 research groups and employed to evaluate the accuracy of established guidelines, including ASCE 41-17, NZSEE, Eurocode 6, and GB50003. The comparative analysis showed that ASCE 41-17 provided the most accurate predictions with acceptable safety levels, while NZSEE produced more conservative estimates and excelled in predicting diagonal shear failure modes.

Graduation thesis "A study on introductions in Vietnamese and American culture" will compare and contrast cross-cultural communication between Vietnamese and American cultures in introduction. As East and West cultures differ, there are interesting differences in their untroduction. Through this research, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of introductions in a variety of contexts, as will the English learner.

Graduation thesis "A study on English to Vietnamese translation of noun phrases in J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter" was carried out for the purpose of comparing English nouns and equivalent elements in Vietnamese. Comparing the translation of nouns in English and Vietnamese texts contributes to the common study of both languages on two aspects: teaching and translation.

Compare to other documents, our study was for the first time validated the quality criteria of ICP-MS for analyzing nineteen metal levels in wastewater samples. The application of this method was then tested by analyzing nineteen metal levels in twenty-three wastewater samples in the Tham Luong Canal in Ho Chi Minh City. Based on these results, the correlation of the concentration of these metals in wastewater samples was determined.

This study investigated the in vitro effects of ZnO NP and chemical UV filters commonly used sunscreens on the function of immortalised and primary skin cells. ZnO particulates (30 nm, 80 nm and 200 nm) were compared to the chemical UV filters: butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDBM) ethylhexylmethoxycinnamate (EHMC), ethylhexylsalicylate (EHS), homomenthylsalicylate (HMS) and 4-methylbenzylidenecamphor (MBC). Human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK), epidermal melanocytes (NHEM), dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) and the immortalised keratinocyte HaCaT cell line were used in this study.

Studies on nanoparticle-protein interaction have also not been studied. This would give information on ratio influence on the structural alteration of EGCg in EGCg-AuNPs and its functionality in vivo. Herein, the optimisation of EGCg-AuNPs will be determined with a large pool of stoichiometric synthesises of gold and EGCg. These optimised EGCg-AuNPs would then be studied with bovine serum albumin (BSA) for protein interactions, binding and thermodynamics.

The overall aim of this study is to determine the most effective way to reduce the radiation dose to the breast during non-breast related CT scans, whilst still maintaining a suitable image quality. This study will attempt to compare the doses and noise of various protocols that can be used for dose reduction, including tube current modulation, bismuth breast shields and manual reduction of tube current.

This thesis derives closed form equations to describe electromagnetic device characteristics for a toroid, solenoid and a case study induction machine. By considering stored magnetic field energy, this approach allows the relationship between electrical, magnetic and kinetic energy to be quantified and analyzed in ways that allows improved accuracy compared with conventional magnetic circuit modeling methods. This thesis also provides insights into how geometric parameters impact energy transfer and operational characteristics of electromagnetic devices.

This thesis aims to develop a new comparative approach to the study of public sector innovation by examining legislative and regulatory frameworks in a public sector context. The novelty of this approach is exemplified in providing a systematic and detailed account of regulation in the public sector. However, given the sheer breadth of public sector services, a specific area of focus is needed. This thesis will concentrate on public school education as an example of a public sector service to build a series of case studies.

Many East Asian economies experienced rapid economic growth since the early 1960’s, with Singapore and Malaysia being two of the best performers. Various factors have contributed to this growth. They include export-orientated policies, capital investment, a market-friendly approach and an institutional regulatory framework that attracts foreign investors. Another factor is the role of human capital in the form of formal and informal education. Human capital has been researched at both the theoretical and empirical levels.
