Water level indicator using transistor bc547

Water level indicator is widely used in many industries and houses. People generally worry about the wastage of water, when the switch ON the motor and forget to OFF them. An Water Level Indicator may be defined as a system by which we can get the information of any water reservoir .Water level indicator system are quite useful to reduce the wastage of water from any reservoir, while filling such reservoir. But for domestic purpose we cannot go for the instruments which use radar or ultrasonic principle that costs high.

To determine frequencies of different radiological patterns of interstitial lung diseases on hrct

Introduction: The use of hrct has an established role in the detection and in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ilds). In selected cases, a specific hrct pattern suffices for the presumptive diagnosis, even in the absence of histological confirmation. The major abnormality in ilds is disruption of the lung parenchyma. Objectives: To Determine Frequencies Of Different Radiological Patterns Of Interstitial Lung Diseases On Hrct.

REcent root canal filling materials and techniques - A review

Obturation is the most important step in the triad of endodontics. Carefully and properly achieved obturation will lead to the formation of “fluid tight seal” which is essential for the success of the endodontic treatment. Over the past decade, the science & practice of root canal therapy has changed dramatically on evidence based protocols to develop highly advanced obturation materials and techniques. Gutta percha with sealer is the most versatile obturating material. But it has very big disadvantage that it does not bond to the root canal dentin.

Apraclonidine versus timolol combination to prevent intraocular pressure elevation after laser capsulotomy

Background & Objective: The increase of pressure in addition to cornea pain and edema could result in ischemic optic neuropathy. Different drugs can be employed for cutting down the intraocular pressure. The aim of this study was assessment the effect of Apraclonidineversus timololin decreasing intra ocular pressure after laser capsulotomy. Methods and Materials: This is a double blind clinical trial study that has been done on 200 patients with posterior capsular opacity that had been candidate for laser capsulotomy, were evaluated through tonometry method.
