A Comparative Investigation of the Application of Photographic Images to Glass by Screen-Process Enamel Ink, Screen-Process Glass Etching, and Transfer-KeyHanna, James Walter 12 1900 (has links)
The problem with which this comparative investigation is concerned is the application of a photographically derived image to glass. The image used originated from an ordinary thirty-five-millimeter color slide. This slide, through photographic darkroom manipulation, was translated into thirty individually different, black and white films of four-by-five-inch size. Selected films were then enlarged onto eleven-by-fourteen-inch, Kodalith film. These enlarged films were contact exposed to Ulano's Blue Poly-3, a presensitized silkscreen photofilm. This in turn was adhered to twelve double X silk which was tautly stretched in a wooden frame.

Replica Exchange Monte Carlo Simulations of the Ising Spin Glass: Static and Dynamic PropertiesYucesoy, Burcu 01 September 2013 (has links)
Spin glasses have been the subject of intense study and considerable controversy for decades, and the low-temperature phase of short-range spin glasses is still poorly understood. Our main goal is to improve our understanding in this area and find an answer to the following question: Are there only a single pair or a countable infinity of pure states in the low temperature phase of the EA spin glass? To that aim we first start by introducing spin glasses and provide a brief history of their research, then proceed to describe our method of simulation, the parallel tempering Monte Carlo algorithm. Next, we present the results of a large-scale numerical study of the equilibrium three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass with Gaussian disorder. In order to understand how the parallel tempering algorithm works, we measure various static, as well as dynamical quantities, such as the autocorrelation times and round-trip times for the parallel tempering Monte Carlo method. We examine the correlation between static and dynamic observables for _ 5000 disorder realizations and up to 1000 spins down to temperatures at 20% of the critical temperature, and our results show that autocorrelation times are directly correlated with the roughness of the free-energy landscape. In the following chapters, the three- and four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson and mean-field Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Ising spin glasses are studied again via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations at low temperatures, deep within the spinglass phase. Performing a careful statistical analysis of several thousand independent disorder realizations and using an observable that detects peaks in the overlap distribution, we show that the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and Edwards-Anderson models have a distinctly different low-temperature behavior. We arrive to the following conclusion: The structure of the spin-glass overlap distribution for the Edwards-Anderson model suggests that its low-temperature phase has only a single pair of pure states. Finally we present results for several new observables, along with a few preliminary studies and suggestions for future research.

Mechanical and physical properties of three CAD/CAM glass-ceramicsMullayousef, Hashem Ali 26 July 2022 (has links)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of three glass-ceramic CAD/CAM systems; Vita Suprinity PC (Vita ZahnFabrik), Cerrec Tessera (Dentsply-Sirona), and IPS e.max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: For each material, CAD/CAM blocks were sectioned into a total of N=108 (n=12 per group) test discs with a diameter of 11.3 mm core drill and used the precision saw machine. Specimens were divided into three groups (1) glaze control, (2) polish only, and (3) ground after manufacturer glaze. Specimens were randomly assigned for the biaxial flexural strength test then each group was tested under three conditions post-treatment: (1) static, (2) thermal cycling for 5000 cycles, and (3) cyclic loading at 200,000 cycles. The biaxial flexural strength test was preformed according to ISO 6872-2015 using an Instron universal testing machine. Thermal artificial aging cycling was from 5° to 55°C, while fatigue was used for about 20% of the static failure load for 200,000 cycles. Vickers indentation was performed to test microhardness and fracture toughness. Also, surface roughness was measured for each group using a stylus contact profilometer. Additionally, surface topography and crystal microstructure analysis by SEM and crystallographic structural analysis by X-ray diffraction were done. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test or least square regression (α = 0.05) and the post hoc Tukey HSD test.
RESULTS: Significant differences were observed in the mean of biaxial flexural strength between the three glass-ceramics materials. The highest mean flexural strength for static was IPS e.max CAD 385.91 ± 46.23 MPa, then Vita Suprinity PC glazed 355.72 ± 72.44 MPa, followed by CEREC Tessera glazed 323.40 ± 61.01 MPa. After thermal cycling and fatiguing, there were no significant effects in flexural strength for CEREC Tessera; however, there was an increase in flexural strength for IPS e.max CAD and Vita Suprinity PC. Vickers Hardness was highest for CEREC Tessera with 7.19 ± 0.47 GPa, then Vita Suprinity PC at 7.05 ± 0.73 GPa, followed by IPS e.max CAD 5.79 ± 0.77 GPa. The fracture toughness for IPS e.max CAD was the highest with 1.97 ± 0.12 MPa.m1/2, CEREC Tessera 0.93 ± 0.05 MPa.m1/2, and Vita Suprinity PC 0.85 ± 0.08 MPa.m1/2.
CONCLUSIONS: IPS e.max CAD polished outperformed Vita Suprinity PC and CEREC Tessera with respect to flexural strength under different aging conditions. In contrast, Vita Suprinity PC had the highest strength in every aging condition among the glazing group.
Clinically Significant: Although all three materials might be suitable for single restorations, caution is needed when choosing material, especially as the rough surface from clinical adjustments may reduce its strength.

The Effect of Microwaves on Aqueous Corrosion of GlassLynch, Matthew 12 September 2006 (has links)
Glass corrodes in aqueous environments. The corrosion process is well-understood for many circumstances involving long periods of time at room temperature as well as processes that involve conventional heating, but the effect of microwave energy on glass corrosion has never been fully investigated. It was suspected that microwaves may alter or accelerate the aqueous corrosion processes that occur in glass which contribute to migration into foods or other materials. Lithium disilicate (Li2O-2SiO2) and commercial soda-lime glass were corroded using both conventional and microwave heating in this study. The results did not clearly show substantial differences in corrosion under the test conditions, but leave open the possibility of an altered mechanism in some circumstances. These findings suggest the need for testing at a lower microwave frequency, specifically 2.45 GHz. / Master of Science
