Determination of orthodontic bracket and tooth adaptation using an X-ray micro-computer tomography scanner

The determination of the orthodontic brackets’ adaptation to the curvatures of teeth is a difficult topic to study. The complexity arise due to the different designs of their fitting surfaces, margins and curvatures of orthodontic brackets....

In Vitro Propagation of the Endangered <i>Kosteletzkya pentacarpos</i> (L.) Ledeb: Conservation Applications and Horticultural Prospects

Employing rare or threatened species in ornamental horticulture offers a dual benefit by promoting climate adaptation and enhancing species conservation. Kosteletzkya pentacarpos, an endangered halophytic species, holds potential for introd...

Photosynthesis and Rubisco kinetics in spring wheat and meadow fescue under conditions of simulated climate change with elevated CO2 and increased temperatures

Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.cv.Polkka)and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Hudson cv. Kalevi)cwere grown in ambient and elevated (700 µl l -1 )carbon dioxide concentration both at present ambient temperatures and at temperatures 3°C h...

Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Supplementation Inhibits Mitochondrial Biogenesis Triggered by Exercise

The potential role of cocoa supplementation in an exercise context remains unclear. We describe the effects of flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation during training on exercise performance and mitochondrial biogenesis. Forty-two male enduranc...

Application of Electronic Learning by Utilizing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Methods in Natural Sciences Subjects (IPA) in Elementary School Students Grade 3

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has stopped all aspects of human life, including the world of education. The Ministry of Education of the Republic of Indonesia has stopped face-to-face teaching and learning activities in schools, repla...

Quantifying the effect of sea level rise and flood defence &ndash; a point process perspective on coastal flood damage

In contrast to recent advances in projecting sea levels, estimations about the economic impact of sea level rise are vague. Nonetheless, they are of great importance for policy making with regard to adaptation and greenhouse-gas mitigation....

Membership-linked issue specialization within the G77 in UN climate negotiations

Abstract The Group of 77 and China (G77) coordinates developing-country positions in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), while many members also participate through overlapping negotiating ...

An Augmented Discrete-Time Approach for Human-Robot Collaboration

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is a key feature to distinguish the new generation of robots from conventional robots. Relevant HRC topics have been extensively investigated recently in academic institutes and companies to improve human and...

Benchmarking optimization algorithms for automated calibration of quantum devices

We present the results of a comprehensive study of optimization algorithms for the calibration of quantum devices. As part of our ongoing efforts to automate bring-up, tune-up, and system identification procedures, we investigate a broad ra...

Constructing adaptive software in distributed systems

Adaptive software that can react to changes in the execution environment or user requirements by switching algorithms at run time is powerful yet difficult to implement, especially in distributed systems. This paper describes a software arc...

INTERNATIONAL CYBERSECURITY EXPERIENCE AND CYBERSECURITY MODELS

In the article, the authors explore the state's capabilities in cybersecurity issues directly related to foreign national security experience. The mechanisms of public administration will be considered in order to improve cybersecurity in t...

Recurrent Neural Networks for Prediction

New technologies in engineering, physics and biomedicine are demanding increasingly complex methods of digital signal processing. By presenting the latest research work the authors demonstrate how real-time recurrent neural networks (RNNs) ...

Using climax thinking to understand psychological drivers of attitudes towards two coastal climate adaptations around the hypertidal Bay of Fundy.

Transgenerational inheritance of ethanol preference is caused by maternal NPF repression

Rapid or even anticipatory adaptation to environmental conditions can provide a decisive fitness advantage to an organism. The memory of recurring conditions could also benefit future generations; however, neuronally-encoded behavior isn’t ...

Effect of aging on marginal and internal adaptation of bulk-fill resin composites with different viscosities in class II restorations.

Evaluating the scalability of distributed systems

Many distributed systems must be scalable, meaning that they must be economically deployable in a wide range of sizes and configurations. This paper presents a scalability metric based on cost-effectiveness, where the effectiveness is a fun...

Decentralized intelligence in smart grids: a comprehensive survey of edge computing and federated learning

Modern power grids are becoming more distributed and data-intensive, while centralized, cloud-based analytics struggle to keep pace. Routing everything through a central system introduces delays, strains network capacity, complicates compli...
