Pilot Study of Tooth Structure Removed in Primary Molar Zirconia Crown Preparations of Typodont TeethAbstract Prefabricated zirconia crowns (ZRCs) require a passive fit and more reduction than stainless steel crowns (SSC). To determine the mean and maximum reduction depths in the mesial-buccal and occlusal areas for three ZRC brands and one SSC in posterior primary typodont molars and to compare [...] 1294 6819 |
Theoretical Modelling of Liquid Crystal Electro-Optical Material Display Elements to Achieve Optimal Low Power Consumption Ship StealthAbstract Advanced optical stealth techniques are of growing importance in the role of manned and unmanned aircraft or ship platforms. We consider here the concept of using passive reflective display elements rather than high power active light projection to achieve a low observable camouflaged sh [...] 1207 7854 |
The Carbon Dioxide Emissions Reduction Potential of Carbon-Dioxide-Cured Alternative Binder ConcreteAbstract Climate change has been identified as one of the biggest issues plaguing human life at present. Hence, immense attention is being paid to developing methods that can potentially reduce carbon dioxide emission. With the help of carbon-negative concrete, manufactured from alternative binde [...] 1892 13503 |
Machine Learning in Hazardous Building Material Management: Research Status and ApplicationsAbstract Assessment of the presence of hazardous materials in buildings is essential for improving material recyclability, increasing working safety, and lowering the risk of unforeseen cost and delay in demolition. In light of these aspects, machine learning has been viewed as a promising approa [...] 1292 7821 |
Assessment of Durability of Bio-based Earth CompositesAbstract Bio-based earth composites present various environmental benefits, such as usable wastes, coproducts, abundant or renewable materials, etc. Moreover, the incorporation of bioaggregates in the earth matrix allows the buildings to act as an effective carbon sink. A growing number of studie [...] 1286 9130 |
Carbon Dots: An Insight into Their Application in Heavy Metal SensingAbstract The design of nanomaterials for application in diverse fields ranging from photovoltaic to fluorescence sensing is a research area of increasing interest. Recently, Quantum Dots (QDs), which are classified as semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs) and Carbon dots (CDs), have become a hot topi [...] 1572 11912 |
Non-surgical Furcal Perforation Management with Biodentine in Retreatment: A 1-Year Recall ReviewAbstract Furcal perforation management in root canal retreatment is often challenging as the outcome of the perforation sealing depends on several parameters. The recent introduction of several bioactive cements and magnification systems has made the sealing of perforations easier and the outcome [...] 1263 11576 |
Potential of Wastewater Valorization after Wet Extraction of Proteins from Faba Bean and Pea FloursAbstract This study aimed at the characterization of wastewater fractions obtained after the wet extraction of proteins from legumes. The suitability of wastewater fractions for the potential recovery of high value-added compounds was also examined and as a consequence, the prevention of the environmental im [...] 1536 11024 |
Lithium-ion Battery and the FutureAbstract Light-matter interaction at the nanometer scale lies at the heart of many physical problems including magnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy. Over the past two decades, we have introduced various theoretical methods in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)1, and we have realized a series of experime [...] 2366 11872 |
Classical and Quantum Models of Diffusionby
Angelo Morro
Abstract The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, to review the classical diffusion models
and show the approximations at the origin of the parabolic character of the classical equations.
Secondly, to show a connection between quantum and classical models of diffusion. Since diffusion
is inherently relate [...] 1233 7801 |
