Food simulating agents did not adversely affect the shear bond strength of Hard GC Reline; however, ethanol and heptane decreased the bond strength of Tokuyama and TDV, respectively. These findings may provide support to dentists to recommend restricted consumption of some foods and beverages for patients who have to use dentures relined with certain hard liners.

We have used the lowest-order constrained variational (LOCV) method based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional to calculate some ground state properties of two-dimensional liquid 3 He at zero temperature employing the Lennard-Jones and Aziz pair potentials. We have seen that the total energy increases by increasing density. It is shown that the two-dimensional liquid 3 He system has no self-bound state.
