This study aimed to assess the efciency of intermediate irrigants in the prevention of formation of precipitate, formed due to the interaction of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine when used as root canal irrigants.The formation of orange brown precipitate, due to the reaction of 3% sodium hypochlorite and 2% chlorhexidine was assessed using spectrophotometric analysis. Three intermediate irrigants were then assessed for their capabilities to prevent the formation of the precipitate. Group A- 6.25% sodium metabisulphite, Group B- 10% sodium ascorbate and Group C- saline were used at different volumes and the values were recorded by measuring their optical density. An invitro analysis was further carried out on single rooted teeth, to verify the efcacy of intermediate irrigants. The teeth which were subjected to the tests were sectioned and observed under stereomicroscope for the presence of remnants of orange brown precipitate in the root canals. Results: The spectrophotometric analysis showed peak value at 450nm and the precipitate formation was found at 60µl of 2% chlorhexidine and 1 ml of sodium hypochlorite. There was statistical difference in the optical density values between the groups, with saline having highest optical density values followed by 6.25% sodium metabisulphite and 10% sodium ascorbate group. Wherein 10% sodium ascorbate solution prevented the formation of orange brown precipitate than other two group. It was concluded that 10% sodium ascorbate played a vital role in the reduction of formation of parachloro-aniline, when used as an intermediate irrigant. 6.25% Sodium metabisulphite also prevented the precipitate formation, to a lesser extent than sodium ascorbate. However, saline did not eliminate the formation of the precipitate.

Introduction: The need for root canal treatment is to eliminate bacteria from the infected canal system and to prevent recontamination. In this case, most common irrigant used in root canal treatment are sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2% chlorhexidinegluconate (CHX) have been recommended as a less toxic alternative. This treatment of using chemical irrigants for eliminating bacteria leads to a colour formation in the tooth by formation of parachloroaniline (PCA). Our study focuses on the spectrophotometric analysis of PCA formation during the NaOCl and CHX are mixed and thereby using intermediate irrigant solutions to prevention of orange brown precipitate. Spectrophotometer works on the principle of Beer Lambert’s Law in which - max determination of PCA was done using a wavelength scan between 350nm to 550nm. Furthermore, three different intermediate irrigant solutions were tested to analyse the efficient solution system for prevention of the orange brown precipitate. Group A fresh lime juice extract, group B 14.25% EDTA and group C 70% ethanol was used.Group A (lime group) exhibited the least OD value among all the experimental groups followed by group B (14.25% EDTA) and group C(70% Ethanol) and also statistically proved. Spectrophotometric analysis showed freshly prepared lime juice extract was found to be very effective in prevention of PCA precipitate followed by 14.25% EDTA and 70% ethanol. Thus, this study gives and insight about the analysis and novel ways of prevention of PCA during root canal treatment

Neutron radiography (NR) technique has been adopted to study homogeneity and water absorption behavior of building materials, like double layer silver gray tiles obtained from Concord Real Estate & Building Products, Unit II, Salna, Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Measurements of optical density differences between the film background and radiographic images of the dry/wet samples were used for investigation of the present work. The optical density was measured by using the digital optical densitometer (Model 07-424, S-23285, Victoreen Inc. USA). Large variation in optical density values of the radiographic image was observed. From this observation it shows that the rate of water absorption of the tiles increases with increase of immersion time. Through the investigation of radiographic image and subsequently analyzing the optical density we observed that distribution of the elements in the tiles are inhomogeneous. Key words: Homogeneity, Water absorption, Silver gray, Neturon radiography.DOI: 10.3329/bjsir.v43i2.963 Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 43(2), 197-206, 2008

In the study, Porphyridium cruentum was cultured under laboratory conditions at 20±2°C, 16:8 (light:dark) photoperiod and continuous aeration to different salinity (20‰, 30‰, 40‰) and two different light intensities (37 µmol m-2s-1 photon and 110 µmol m-2s-1 photon) and growth was determined. Dry matter, optical density and chlorophyll a parameter were used to determine growth. The best growth was determined in culture with a salinity of 30‰ at 110 µmol m-2s-1 photon light intensity. In this group, the optical density (OD) was 1.504±0.003 and the dry matter amount was 1.327gl-1. In the case of 37µmol µmol m-2s-1 photon light intensity, the optical density values were found to be similar in groups with 30‰ and 50‰ salinity and were found to be 1.234±0.004 and 1.215±0.002, respectively. The amounts of dry matter were also similar; 1.168gl-1 and 1.159gl-1, respectively. While the lowest growth was in the culture at 37 µmol m-2s-1 photon light intensity and 20‰ salinity. The optical density obtained on the last day of this group was 1.165±0.004 and the dry matter amount was determined as 0.986gl-1. The amount of chlorophyll a was determined in the cultured groups at the best 37 µmol m-2s-1 photon light intensity.

Group B streptococci, refractory to previously tested muralysins under physiological conditions, were successfully converted to protoplasts by use of a recently describede N-acetyl muramidase, mutanolysin, derived from a streptomycete. Purified enzyme was effective, but crude preparations, although degrading cell walls, simultaneously produced peculiar effects of cytoplasmic coagulation, retention of cell shape, loss of some intracellular enzymes, and a rise in optical density. Addition of purified mutanolysin to the array of muralysins (group C streptococcal phage-associated lysin, lysozyme), previously successful in preparing protoplasts of different streptococci, now makes possible enzymatic preparation of protoplasts of streptococci of groups A, B, C. D. G, and H.

Optical Density is one of the important parameters used to control print quality. Optical density in print materials is form of interaction of ink with paper. This research is oriented to the investigation of optical density value of Yellow printing ink on coated and uncoated paper. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of printing ink thickness on optimal density value. The optical density value of yellow prints obtained using densitometer measurement, printed using IGT method on coated and uncoated paper. Ink thickness variations are applied (0.8 - 9.6 μm). Density values was found to increase as the ink layer thickness increased to a certain point called the optimal density (2.4 μm ink thickness on coated paper and 4.5 μm on uncoated paper). Optical density of yellow printing ink on coated paper is higher uncoated paper, which relates to porosity on paper

Two transgenic potato clones of cv. Achat, denominated 1P and 63P were challenged with two Potato virus Y strains (PVY O and PVY N), under greenhouse conditions, to be evaluated for resistance to these strains. Optical density values of the Elisa readings of samples from the transgenic plants were compared to readings from samples of the inoculated non-transformed plants. Clone 1P was extremely resistant to both PVY strains, reflected by not being systemically infected. Clone 63P, however, presented partial resistance to both PVY strains as local or systemic infection was delayed in some days. These results confirm the previously reported extreme resistance to PVY of clone 1P.
