Vortex Images and q-Elementary Functions
In the present paper problem of vortex images in annular domain between two
coaxial cylinders is solved by the q-elementary functions. We show that all
images are determined completely as poles of the q-logarithmic function, where
dimensionless parameter is given by square ratio of the
cylinder radii. Resulting solution for the complex potential is represented in
terms of the Jackson q-exponential function. By composing pairs of q-exponents
to the first Jacobi theta function and conformal mapping to a rectangular
domain we link our solution with result of Johnson and McDonald. We found that
one vortex cannot remain at rest except at the geometric mean distance, but
must orbit the cylinders with constant angular velocity related to q-harmonic
series. Vortex images in two particular geometries in the limit
are studied.Comment: 17 page

Mechanical characteristic and biological behaviour of implanted and restorative bioglasses used in medicine and dentistry: A systematic review
International audienceObjectiveNowadays bioactive glasses are finding increasing applications in medical practice due to their ability to stimulate re-mineralisation. However, they are intrinsically brittle materials and the study of new compositions will open up new scenarios enhancing their mechanical properties and maintaining the high bioactivity for a broader range of applications. This systematic review aims to identify the relationship between the composition of bioactive glasses used in medical applications and their influence on the mechanical and biological properties.MethodsVarious electronic databases (PubMed, Science Direct) were used for collecting articles on this subject. This research includes papers from January 2011 to March 2016. PRISMA guidelines for systematic review and meta-analysis have been used. 109 abstracts were collected and screened, 68 articles were read as relevant articles and a total of 22 papers were finally selected for this study.ResultsMost of the studies obtained enhanced mechanical properties and the conservation of bioactivity behaviours; although a lack of homogeneity in the characterization methods makes it difficult to compare data.SignificanceNew compositions of bioactive glasses incorporating specific ions and the addition in polymers will be the most important direction for future researches in developing new materials for medical applications and especially for dentistry
In vitro biocompatibility of a dentine substitute cement on human MG63 osteoblasts cells: Biodentine™ versus MTA ®
The authors also wish to express their appreciation to Beatrice Burdin, PhD, at the Microstructures Technology Center of University Claude Bernard Lyon1 for assistance with the SEM study. The AFM study was supported by the Characterization of Interactions Platform of the Nanobio Program, Grenoble University. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance on the English checking from Dr Huw Jones BSc PhD MRSC, Senior Lecturer in Chemistry for Environmental Science and Public Health, Middlesex University (UK).International audienceAimTo compare the in vitro biocompatibility of Biodentine and White ProRoot((R)) mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA((R))) with MG63 osteoblast-like cells and to characterize the cement surface. MethodologyA direct contact model for MG63 osteoblast-like cells with cements was used for 1, 3 and 5days. Four end-points were investigated: (i) cement surface characterization by atomic force microscopy (AFM), (ii) cell viability by MTT assay, (iii) protein amount quantification by Bradford assay and (iv) cell morphology by SEM. Statistical analyses were performed by analysis of variance (anova) with a repetition test method. ResultsThe roughness of the cements was comparable as revealed by AFM analysis. The MTT test for Biodentine was similar to that of MTA((R)). Biodentine and MTA((R)) induced a similar but slight decrease in metabolic activity. The amount of total protein was significantly enhanced at day three (P<0.05) but slightly decreased at day five for both tested samples. Biodentine was tolerated as well as MTA((R)) in all cytotoxicity assays. SEM observations showed improvement of cell attachment and proliferation on both material surfaces following the three incubation periods. ConclusionThe biocompatibility of Biodentine to bone cells was comparable to MTA((R))
