Mango peel waste appears to be an alternative source to lignocellulose materials to produce bioethanol. According to various studies, mango peels are rich in carbohydrates and sugar, which are suitable for generating bioethanol. Today, gasoline, a non-renewable fuel, is massively utilized as a transport fuel. Accordingly, a large amount of bioethanol will have to be generated to replace gasoline....

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most used endodontic irrigant due to its antimicrobial and organic tissue-dissolving properties. However, NaOCl solutions are unstable; exposure to light, heat, air, metals, and organic substances can reduce the available chlorine concentration with concomitant loss of antimicrobial and tissue-dissolving properties. NaOCl delivery mode during endodontic treatment...
