An In Vitro Study of Local Oxygen Therapy as Adjunctive Antimicrobial Therapeutic Option for Patients with Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a common global disease caused by bacterial dysbiosis leading to tissue destruction, and it is strongly associated with anaerobic bacterial colonization. Therapeutic strategies such as oxygen therapy have been developed to ...

Materials for Total Hip Joint Prostheses: Biaxial Flexural Strength of Two Ceramic Systems

Total hip joint replacement is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries in the last decade. Essential part of total hip joint prostheses is the mobile joint “hemispherical head - hemispherical cup”. Functional properties and durabil...

Effect of Heat Input on Microstructure and Hardness Distribution of Laser Welded Si-Al TRIP-Type Steel

This study is concerned with issues related to laser welding of Si-Al type TRIP steels with Nb and Ti microadditions. The tests of laser welding of thermomechanically rolled sheet sections were carried out using keyhole welding and a solid-...

Twins‐like nanodrugs synchronously transport in blood and coalesce inside tumors for sensitive ultrasound imaging and triggerable penetrative drug delivery

Abstract Nanodrugs capable of aggregating in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have demonstrated great efficiency in improving the therapeutic outcome. Among various approaches, the strategy utilizing electrostatic interaction as a driving f...

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems: Critical Parameters for Surface Hygrothermal Behaviour

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are often used in Europe. Despite its thermal advantages, low cost, and ease of application, this system has serious problems of biological growth causing the cladding defacement. Recent...

Simulation and experimental verification of the edge effect of composites on the infiltration process of RTM forming

To study the influence of edge effects on the resin filling flow pattern in the RTM process of composite materials, the finite element software PAM-RTM was used to simulate and analyze the impregnation process of the blade preforms in RTM.B...

Superconductivity emerging from a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes

Superconductivity often appears due to suppression of competing electronic orders. Here, the authors present a contrary example showing a superconducting dome inside the parent phase with a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes and identi...

Effect of Ageing on a Novel Cobalt-Free Precipitation-Hardenable Martensitic Alloy Produced by SLM: Mechanical, Tribological and Corrosion Behaviour

This study investigates the mechanical, tribological, and electrochemical behaviour of a novel precipitation-hardenable martensitic alloy produced by selective laser melting (SLM). The alloy was specifically engineered with an optimised com...

Second hyperpolarizability of hexagonal graphene quantum dots: Effects of size and structural defects

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are nanosized fragments of graphene containing a bandgap caused by edge effects and quantum confinement. These features enable GQDs to have attractive photonics applications. During the preparation of graphene n...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Addressing the current and future therapeutic advances along with the role of Sotatercept in the management of pulmonary hypertension

Abstract Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and debilitating lung disease characterized by irreversible scarring of the lungs. The cause of IPF is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic a...

Tuning the effective spin-orbit coupling in molecular semiconductors

Organic semiconductors with long spin lifetime hold promise for future spintronics devices that can process and store information. Here, Schottet al. perform a systematic study of the strength of spin-orbit coupling and its effect on spin l...

Inclusions in melting process of titanium and titanium alloys

This paper summarizes melting methods of titanium and titanium alloy, such as vacuum arc melting (VAR) and electron beam cold hearth melting (EBCHM), and the related inclusions formed when using these melting methods. Low-density inclusions...

High-temperature Infrared Transmission of Free-standing Diamond Films

The combination of low absorption and extreme mechanical and thermal properties make diamond a compelling choice for some more extreme far infrared (8-12 μm) window applications. The optical properties of CVD diamond at elevated temperature...
