description: In this work we revisit the Salecker-Wigner-Peres clock formalism and show that it can be directly applied to the phenomenon of tunneling. Then we apply this formalism to the determination of the tunneling time of a non relativistic wavepacket, sharply concentrated around a tunneling energy, incident on a symmetric double barrier potential. In order to deepen the discussion about the generalized Hartmann effect, we consider the case in which the clock runs only when the particle can be found inside the region \emph{between} the barriers and show that, whenever the probability to find the particle in this region is non negligible, the corresponding time (which in this case turns out to be a dwell time) increases with the barrier spacing.

title: What Financial Savings, if Any, Accrue to Utah School Districts Because of Pupil Attendance in Non-Public Schools, and the Released Time Program in the Secondary Schools
Creators: name: Bishop, C. Don
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1958

description: It is generally recognized that one of the factors which causes variation among the states in the cost of public education is the relative number of pupils enrolled in private and parochial schools. In this connection it has been pointed out that the state of Utah has a very small enrollment in such schools. In fact, a report for the school year 1951-52 shows that Utah’s rank was 46 among all the states, with only 1.5 percent of the total pupil enrollment in non-public schools. It seems reasonable to expect, however, that Utah does realize some savings in school costs at the secondary level because of the so-called seminary or released time program for religious education sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Reports for the school year of 1956-57 show that there were 34,777 students attending public senior high schools in the state of Utah. During this same year 21,147 pupils were attending the L.D.S. seminary classes for one period of each school day. If these students were attending high schools organized on a six-period day, there is a real possibility that the state of Utah saved approximately one-sixth of the cost of educating these 21,147 students, because they spent one-sixth of their school time in buildings provided by the L.D.S. Church and taught by teachers employed by this church. On the other hand, such an analysis of the possible savings might be entirely inaccurate because it was not known whether classrooms were left vacant when the students left for the released hour, or whether regularly employed high school teachers had an extra (free) period in such cases.

description: The article presents the results of a study of signs on a Bronze Age slab "Sun stone" discovered at the foot of Maja e Can in Volusnica massif (Prokletije National Park, Montenegro). Studies have shown that the slab is an analemmatic sundial. The "Sun Stone" is more similar in marking to the slabs of the Srubnaya culture: all the cup marks are small and located along the ellipse line. Ellipses of bowl-shaped signs of analemmatic sundials from the Northern Black Sea region are similar in size to the reconstructed ellipse of the "Sun Stone". In addition, on one sundial from the Northern Black Sea region, the groove marks the distance that the gnomon must travel on the day of the winter solstice, similar to the groove on the Sun Stone. In the hour marking of sundial slabs from the Northern Black Sea region and Western Balkans, continuity can be traced, confirming the dating of the XV-XII centuries BC and indicating contacts of representatives of the synchronous local Glasinac culture of the Western Balkans with representatives of the Srubnaya culture of the Northern Black Sea region. Keywords: cup marks, hour markers, grooves, slab, analemmatic sundial, hour line, Bronze Age, Sun Stone.

title: The Surficial Geology and Neotectonics of Hansel Valley, Box Elder County, Utah
Creators: name: Robison, Robert M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Hansel Valley, located at the north end of the Great Salt Lake in Box Elder County, Utah, has exposures of the lacustrine sediments of the Little Valley, Bonneville, and Gilbert lake cycles. A 1:50,000 scale map was constructed of the surface geology. Although no trenches were dug for this study, about 240m of logs were compiled in an arroyo in lake bottom sediments. Sediments from at least three lake cycles were found in this gully: 1) compact bottom deposits from the Little Valley cycle; 2) bottom sediments from an intermediate cycle (the Hansel Valley cycle); and 3) beach gravel and bottom sediments from the Bonneville cycle. Evidence gathered indicates that a previously undescribed lake, the Hansel Val ley cycle, which reached a maximum elevation of about 1342 m (4400 feet). Thermoluminescence (TL) dating, supplemented by ostracode identification and stratigraphic position, dates the Hansel Valley cycle at about 80 ka (late Oxygen Isotope Stage 5).
Hansel Valley is seismically very active and the site of the largest and only historic earthquake to rupture the ground surface in Utah. Scarp heights up to 50 em were measured from the 1934 M6.6 event, which was contiguous with an older 6 km long scarp that crosses Lake Bonneville recessional shoreline s. Scarp heights range from 1.6 m to 9.0 m and control recessional shorelines (instead of simply displacing them). This morphologic evidence suggests that a portion of the scarp was formed underwater, and that slumping occurred along the trace of the fault. The fault scarp intersects the gully mentioned above and reveals highly fractured sediments with 11 main faults within a 240 m zone. Movement on individual faults ranges from 0.1 to 2.5 m, with a net displacement of 1.3 m down to the east, which agrees with the offset measured on the scarp on both sides of the gully. Most faults offset Little Val ley, and transgressive Bonneville shoreline sediments, but are not continuous through intensely convoluted Bonneville lake bottom sand, silt and clay. Two units of Bonneville bottom sediments show convolutions, features and slump blocks. roll structures, liquefaction Fault scarps, liquefaction features, and subsurface faults indicate one pre-BonneviIIe, possibly two Bonneville, and one post-Bonneville-age large earthquakes.
A Spectroscopic Study of Kepler Asteroseismic Targets

description: Reported are spectroscopic observations of 15 candidates for Kepler primary asteroseismic targets and 14 other stars in the Kepler field, carried out at three observatories (see the footnote). For all these stars, the radial velocities, effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, and the projected rotational velocity are derived from two separate sets of data by means of two independent methods. In addition, MK type is estimated from one of these sets of data. Three stars, HIP 94335, HIP 94734, and HIP 94743, are found to have variable radial-velocity. For HIP 94335 = FL Lyr, a well-known Algol-type eclipsing variable and a double-lined spectroscopic binary, the orbital elements computed from our data agree closely with those of Popper et al. For HIP 94734 and HIP 94743 = V2077 Cyg, which we discover to be single-lined systems, orbital elements are derived. In addition, from our value of the orbital period and the Hipparcos epoch photometry, HIP 94743 is demonstrated to be a detached eclipsing binary.

General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of the Hard State as a Magnetically-Dominated Accretion Flow

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: (Abridged) We present one of the first physically-motivated two-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) numerical simulations of a radiatively-cooled black-hole accretion disk. The fiducial simulation combines a total-energy-conserving formulation with a radiative cooling function, which includes bremsstrahlung, synchrotron, and Compton effects. By comparison with other simulations we show that in optically thin advection-dominated accretion flows, radiative cooling can significantly affect the structure, without necessarily leading to an optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk. We further compare the results of our radiatively-cooled simulation to the predictions of a previously developed analytic model for such flows. For the very low stress parameter and accretion rate found in our simulated disk, we closely match a state called the "transition" solution between an outer advection-dominated accretion flow and what would be a magnetically-dominated accretion flow (MDAF) in the interior. The qualitative and quantitative agreement between the numerical and analytic models is quite good, with only a few well-understood exceptions. According to the analytic model then, at significantly higher stress or accretion, we would expect a full MDAF to form. The collection of simulations in this work also provide important data for interpreting other numerical results in the literature, as they span the most common treatments of thermodynamics, including simulations evolving: 1) the internal energy only; 2) the internal energy plus an explicit cooling function; 3) the total energy without cooling; and 4) total energy including cooling. We find that the total energy formulation is a necessary prerequisite for proper treatment of radiative cooling in MRI accretion flows.

Year: 1958

description: The production of forage seed for use in the eastern United States is a large industry in Utah and other Western States. The development or forage synthetics in the east with production or seed in the west raises the questions “Is there a change in the synthetic when seed is produced under different environmental conditions?” To obtain information relating to genetic stability of grass and legume seed crops produced under various environmental conditions, the USDA-ARS Crops Research Division, Forage and Range Research Branch, Foundation Seed Production Section, set up several experimental plots in the western United States. These are located in Washington, Utah, Texas, and California.

description: From a resolution graph with certain conditions, Neumann and Wahl constructed an equisingular family of surface singularities called splice quotients. For this class some fundamental analytic invariants have been computed from their resolution graph. In this paper we give a method to compute the multiplicity of an abelian covering of a splice quotient from its resolution graph and the Galois group.

description: We search for persistent and quasi-periodic release events of streamer blobs during 2007 with the Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph on the \textit{Solar and Heliospheric Observatory} and assess the velocity of the slow solar wind along the plasma sheet above the corresponding streamer by measuring the dynamic parameters of blobs. We find 10 quasi-periodic release events of streamer blobs lasting for three to four days. In each day of these events, we observe three-five blobs. The results are in line with previous studies using data observed near the last solar minimum. Using the measured blob velocity as a proxy for that of the mean flow, we suggest that the velocity of the background slow solar wind near the Sun can vary significantly within a few hours. This provides an observational manifestation of the large velocity variability of the slow solar wind near the Sun.

description: It is evident from the literature reviewed that there is a need for better understanding and utilization of standardized test results. It seems that unless tests contribute to the learning process they are not justifiable. Merritt says the main objective of all endeavor is to promote learning. Ultimately, the worth of any activity carried on in the schools has to be judged by the contribution this activity makes toward the improvement of learning. Testing is no exception. In a broad sense, desirable learning has taken place when behavior has been changed in socially approved directions. Testing is justified only if it contributes to our efforts to bring about such, changes.

description: Incoming freshman students are confronted early in their college career with the problem of selecting a program of study that fits their needs, capacities and interests. Counselors and advisors have found that a large number of students do not give prior deliberation to the selection of a major field of study. For the most part, students use a trial and error method in making their choices. That is, their choice is a result of success in previous class work. Although some effort is being made by educational personnel to resolve this problem, a large amount of objective research remains to be done. The more we are able to discover about abilities and conditions necessary for successful achievements, the more we will be able to do in helping students make the best use of their particular talents. Each university and college must accept its part in establishing methods that can better help the educational counselor and adviser in placement activities.

description: Spherically symmetric expansionfree distributions are systematically studied. The whole set of field equations and junction conditions are presented for a general distribution of dissipative anisotropic fluid (principal stresses unequal), and the expansionfree condition is integrated. In order to understand the physical meaning of expansionfree motion, two different definitions for the radial velocity of a fluid element are discussed. It is shown that the appearance of a cavity is inevitable in the expansionfree evolution. The nondissipative case is considered in detail and the Skripkin model is recovered.

description: From the homotopy groups of two cubic spherical 3-manifolds we construct the isomorphic groups of deck transformations acting on the 3-sphere. These groups become the cyclic group of order eight and the quaternion group respectively. By reduction of representations from the orthogonal group to the identity representation of these subgroups we provide two subgroup-periodic bases for the harmonic analysis on the 3-manifolds. This harmonic analysis has applications to cosmic topology.

description: Neste texto vamos fazer uma análise do caso português, circunscrita a um período de tempo muito curto — fundamentalmente as semanas que antecederam a declaração do estado de emergência e todo o decurso desta fase de confinamento estrito até pouco após o anúncio do seu final. Basicamente, trata-se aqui de um estudo qualitativo centrado no discurso dos media, na opinião publicada, em documentos oficiais e ainda na atuação do campo político. Inicia-se a investigação num contexto de declarado “negacionismo” institucional e negligência do Estado, após o que, numa espécie de sobressalto cívico e logo depois político, o posicionamento oficial se transfere e evolui muito rapidamente para um contexto de calamidade pública e para a declaração do estado de emergência. O objetivo principal deste ensaio e desta investigação é, assim, analisar e caracterizar a qualidade e a especificidade da resposta do país ao aparecimento da COVID-19 em Portugal, sensivelmente nos primeiros sete meses da pandemia (de Março a Outubro de 2020), sobretudo em contexto de estado de emergência e exatamente nesses domínios referidos — campo dos média e esferas pública, política e governamental.

description: Since the development of Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area in 1937, the Canada goose (Branta canadesis moffitti) population increased to a peak in 1949 and then declined slightly. Nelson (1954) noted that the decrease in population was probably due to either a change in habitat or increased hunting pressure. In recent years, direct band returns have indicated a high mortality rate in the population. This project was initiated to determine the relative stability of the Canada goose population and to measure, as closely as possible, the effect of a high mortality rate upon the nesting population.

description: In view of recent data from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) on inclusive electron scattering off nuclei at high momentum transfer (Q^2 > 1 GeV^2) and their current analysis, it is shown that, if the scaling variable is properly chosen, the analysis in terms of scaling functions can provide useful information on Short Range Correlations (SRC). This is demonstrated by introducing a new relativistic scaling variable that incorporates the momentum dependence of the excitation energy of the (A-1)system, with the resulting scaling function being closely related to the longitudinal momentum distributions.

Year: 1967

description: Soil moisture depletion was studied in quaking aspen and Gambel oak areas of central Utah. The study area is located at about 8100 feet elevation in a zone with 20 to 25 inches precipitation annually.
Treatments ranged from no disturbance to clearcutting. Soil Moisture was measured periodically during the summer of 1966.
Results showed less soil moisture depletion on the plots of least residual basel area. Average soil moisture depletion the season following cutting at two sites was 4.3 inches less than it was on higher residual basal area plots.
The reduction in soil moisture depletion occurred principally below the roots of the herbaceous plants and grass in the zone that would normally be occupied by living tree roots.

description: The gravity-mode (g-mode) eigenfrequencies of newly born strange quark stars (SQSs) and neutron stars (NSs) are studied. It is found that the eigenfrequencies in SQSs are much lower than those in NSs by almost one order of magnitude, since the components of a SQS are all extremely relativistic particles while nucleons in a NS are non-relativistic. We therefore propose that newly born SQSs can be distinguished from the NSs by detecting the eigenfrequencies of the g-mode pulsations of supernovae cores through gravitational radiation by LIGO-class detectors.

Studies related to the synthesis of monomeric and dimeric vinca alkaloids
Creators: name: Bylsma, Feike
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The first part of this thesis describes a sequence which provides a total synthesis of cleavamine (23) and catharanthine (12). Dihydrocatharanthinol (76) obtained by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of dihydrocatharanthine (34) was converted to its tosylate derivative. The latter intermediate upon heating in benzene containing two equivalents of triethylamine underwent an interesting fragmentation reaction to provide a seco-diene (78) containing the cleavamine ring system. Reaction of this diene with osmium tetroxide provided a tetrol (96) which could be converted to cleavamine on the one hand and the C₄-functionalized cleavamine derivatives on the other. Thus treatment of the tetrol with sodium borohydride allowed the hydrogenolysis of the carbinol amine function and provided a triol (97). The vicinal diol present in 97 was cleaved by means of periodate and the resultant 2-acylindole chromophore was further converted by borohydride to a 4,18-dihydroxy dihydrocleavamine derivative (99). Reductive removal of the C₁₈ hydroxyl function by means of lithium aluminum hydride provided isovelbanamine (100). Acid catalyzed dehydration of the latter yielded cleavamine (23) while isomerization under aqueous acidic conditions provided velbanamine (22). To complete the total synthesis of catharanthine (12), cleavamine was reacted with t-butyl hypochlorite and the resultant chloroindolenine was then subjected to nucleophilic attack by cyanide ion to provide 18ϐ-cyanocleavamine. Basic hydrolysis of the nitrile function followed by esterification provided 18ϐ-carbomethoxycleavamine (60). This compound upon reaction with mercuric acetate was cyclized to catharanthine. The second part of this thesis establishes the utility of both the chloroindolenine and the C₁₈-hydroxy analogues of the cleavamine systems to the synthesis of dimeric compounds structurally similar to the natural dimeric alkaloids. Treatment of either of these analogues with vindoline under mild acidic conditions yielded the appropriate dimers containing the indole and dihydroindole units present in vincaleukoblastine. The dimerization reaction was shown to be stereospecific and led in each case to the same stereochemistry at C₁₈, of the resulting dimers

description: For all but finitely many compact orientable surfaces, we show that any superinjective map from the complex of separating curves into itself is induced by an element of the extended mapping class group. We apply this result to proving that any finite index subgroup of the Johnson kernel is co-Hopfian. Analogous properties are shown for the Torelli complex and the Torelli group.

title: Drinking and Student Understanding of Alcohol and Alcoholism at the Utah State Industrial School
Creators: name: Anderson, Elliot J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: The Objectives of this investigation were to study the extent alcohol was used by students of Utah State Industrial School (SIS), determine the knowledge these students had of alcohol and alcoholism, and compare the data of the Industrial School with data obtained from selected public high schools in Utah.
Study results revealed a greater percentage of the SIS students had used alcoholic beverages and their first drinking experience occurred at an earlier age than for the high school students. Also, a greater percentage of the SIS students continued drinking after their first drinking experience. The percentage of SIS students having been intoxicated was higher with the SIS students having been intoxicated was higher with the SIS students repeating the practice more frequently.
Analysis of the knowledge section pointed out the high school students were better informed regarding alcohol and alcoholism than were the SIS students.

description: Linearized fluctuations of quantized matter fields and the spacetime geometry around de Sitter space are considered in the case that the matter fields are conformally invariant. Taking the unperturbed state of the matter to be the de Sitter invariant Bunch-Davies state, the linear variation of the stress tensor about its self-consistent mean value serves as a source for fluctuations in the geometry through the semi-classical Einstein equations. This linear response framework is used to investigate both the importance of quantum backreaction and the validity of the semi-classical approximation in cosmology. The full variation of the stress tensor, delta T^a_b contains two kinds of terms: (1) those that depend explicitly upon the linearized metric variation delta g_{cd} through the [T^a_b, T^{cd}] causal response function; and (2) state dependent variations, independent of delta g_{cd}. For perturbations of the first kind, the criterion for the validity of the semi-classical approximation in de Sitter space is satisfied for fluctuations on all scales well below the Planck scale. The perturbations of the second kind contain additional massless scalar degrees of freedom associated with changes of state of the fields on the cosmological horizon scale. These scalar degrees of freedom arise necessarily from the local auxiliary field form of the effective action associated with the trace anomaly, are potentially large on the horizon scale, and therefore can lead to substantial non-linear quantum backreaction effects in cosmology.

title: Soil Moisture Recharge in Stands of Quaking Aspen and Gambel Oak in Central Utah
Creators: name: Boynton, James L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: Soil moisture recharge was studied in quaking aspen and Gambel oak forest areas of central Utah. The rate, timing, and duration of the recharge period was observed. Soil moisture readings were taken periodically throughout the winter of 1966 -1967.
Soil moisture recharge begins in October and continues until May. The period of most rapid increase in recharge is between February and May. This corresponds to a rapid decrease in the zenith angle of the sun at the surface of the area and also to a decrease in cloud cover over the area.
Deep soils and high infiltration capacities prevent surface runoff from the area. Both detention storage and retention storage capacity of the soils are high.
Soil freezing was not present during the winter months. Some patchy soil freezing is found in the spring but it is not extensive enough to influence the recharge phenomenon.

description: A generalization of the Kontsevich Airy-model allows one to compute the intersection numbers of the moduli space of p-spin curves. These models are deduced from averages of characteristic polynomials over Gaussian ensembles of random matrices in an external matrix source. After use of a duality, and of an appropriate tuning of the source, we obtain in a double scaling limit these intersection numbers as polynomials in p. One can then take the limit p to -1 which yields a matrix model for orbifold Euler characteristics. The generalization to a time-dependent matrix model, which is equivalent to a two-matrix model, may be treated along the same lines ; it also yields a logarithmic potential with additional vertices for general p.

description: We study the few-electron eigenspectrum of a nanotube quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling. The two-electron phase diagram as a function of the length of the dot and the applied parallel magnetic field shows clear signatures of both spin-orbit coupling and electron-electron interaction. Below a certain critical length, ground state transitions are correctly predicted by a single-particle picture and are mainly independent of the length of the dot despite the presence of strong correlations. However, for longer quantum dots the critical magnetic field strongly decreases with increasing length, which is a pure interaction effect. In fact, the new ground state is spin- and valley-polarized, which implies a strong occupation of higher longitudinal modes.

Tadarida teniotis

description: 59. European Free-tailed Bat, Tadarida teniotis (Rafinesque, 1814)
(IUCN Red List: LC)
Subspecies: Monotypic species.
Distribution: Uncommon but widespread; recorded in the rocky terrain and crevices along the Euphrates Valley, Palmyra, coastal, and southwestern regions (Fig. 66).
Previous records: Qal’at Salah ad-Din, Ayyash, Tell Shhab, as-Sehel, Bloudan, Damascus, Maalula, Yabroud, Palmyra, Qal’at Al-Hosson, Kasret Muhammed Ali, ar-Raqqa, Qal’at Al-Marqab, Mount Hermon (Benda et al. 2006) and Qal’at Najim (Shehab et al. 2007).
Remarks: Based on reported differences in the pelage coloration, the Egyptian and Middle Eastern populations of T. teniotis were regarded to represent a separate subspecies T. t. rueppelli Temminck, 1826 (see Kock & Nader 1984). However, the colour variation was found to be rather mosaic-like in this bat, and without a relation with the formal intraspecific division; the species was suggested to be considered as monotypic (Benda et al. 2008). The results of a geographically broad-scale molecular genetic comparison by Amorim et al. (2020) supported this opinion.

Superconducting networks with the proximity effect

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We report on the first observation of a novel type of superconducting proximity network using a superconductor-normal metal bilayer. Little-Parks oscillation measurements show that the superconducting current flows through a path enclosed by the edge rather than by the center of the Pb/Au wire in the network. Furthermore, several peaks were observed in a power spectrum analysis. We observed that the sequence of these peaks and that of the monolayer network were connected by the power function, which is a factor of the line width, S_{B_n} = α^{n-2}S_{A_n}. This suggests that even in a proximity network vortices are arranged in a way identical to a monolayer network.

description: We demonstrate how duality invariance of the low energy expansion of the four-graviton amplitude in type II string theory determines the precise coefficients of multiloop logarithmic ultraviolet divergences of maximal supergravity in various dimensions. This is illustrated by the explicit moduli-dependence of terms of the form D^{2k}R^4, with k<= 3, in the effective action. Furthermore, we show that in the supergravity limit the perturbative contributions are swamped by an accumulation of non-perturbative effects of zero-action instantons.

title: An Evaluation of a Stimulus Preference Assessment of IPad Applications for Young Children with Autism
Creators: name: Nix, Lyndsay D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Previous researchers have conducted preference assessment studies using different types of stimuli (e.g., edibles, tangibles, music) to identify reinforcers for individuals with disabilities. This study investigates the ability of paired-stimulus preference assessment techniques to assess the potential reinforcing effectiveness of iPad applications (apps) on the academic behavior of preschoolers with autism. This study yielded a preference hierarchy for each participant among the iPad apps. Participants’ responding increased upon implementation of the low-preferred app. When accessing the high-preferred app as reinforcement, participants generally engaged in a higher rate of responding. These results show that a paired-stimulus preference assessment can be used to rank preference of iPad apps, and therefore identify which apps are high-preferred and low-preferred. Findings also add to the research in showing that high-preferred stimuli are more effective because they increase rates of responding. This study provides many possibilities for conducting future research involving preference of technological stimuli.

description: Let $f_1,...,f_g\in {\mathbb C}(z)$ be rational functions, let $Φ=(f_1,...,f_g)$ denote their coordinatewise action on $({\mathbb P}^1)^g$, let $V\subset ({\mathbb P}^1)^g$ be a proper subvariety, and let $P=(x_1,...,x_g)\in ({\mathbb P}^1)^g({\mathbb C})$ be a nonpreperiodic point for $Φ$. We show that if $V$ does not contain any periodic subvarieties of positive dimension, then the set of $n$ such that $Φ^n(P) \in V({\mathbb C})$ must be very sparse. In particular, for any $k$ and any sufficiently large $N$, the number of $n \leq N$ such that $Φ^n(P) \in V({\mathbb C})$ is less than $\log^k N$, where $\log^k$ denotes the $k$-th iterate of the $\log$ function. This can be interpreted as an analog of the gap principle of Davenport-Roth and Mumford.

description: Dental metallic restorations can be made alternatively by casting or CAD/CAM procedures such as milling and selective laser melting. This raises the question as to how far the material properties differ. The aim of this study was to evaluate the corrosion behavior of dental porcelain fused CoCr alloys manufactured by the CAD/CAM techniques using wet milling of solid blanks (Organic), dry milling of ‘wax-like’ blanks and subsequent sintering (Ceramill Sinron) and selective laser melting (Remanium Star CL) compared to the cast CoCr alloys Remanium Star, Girobond NB and Ankatit U. Corrosion measurements according to ISO 10271 were performed with all alloys. Static immersion tests over 1, 4 and 7 days were used in artificial saliva. The electrolytes of all samples were analyzed by ICP-OES and the corresponding ion release rate was calculated for each alloy and immersion time. Furthermore, electrochemical corrosion measurements were carried out in 0.9% saline. Open-circuit-potential measurement over 2 h were carried out, followed by anodic polarization from -150 mV ~Ecorr to 1 V at a speed of 1 mV/sec. The results revealed a total ion release below 50 µg/cm² for all alloys investigated which is below the limit value of 200 µg/cm² according to ISO 22674.
