Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Decoverslipping of Archival Cytology Aspirate Smears for Ancillary Studies: A Review of Methods and Institutional Experience With Freezer‐Based Techniques

open access: yesCytopathology, EarlyView.
Freezer‐based decoverslipping of archival cytology aspirate smears achieved only 32.5% slide‐level success (26/80), with mounting medium composition and coverslip material, not freezing temperature or duration, identified as dominant determinants, underscoring the need to align coverslipping practices with anticipated ancillary testing requirements ...

Assessing the influence of titanium dioxide nanotubes incorporation on thermal and thermomechanical characteristics of 3D‐printed denture base resin

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (NTs) to three‐dimensional (3D) printed denture base resin on the thermal and thermomechanical properties, which have high clinical relevance. Materials and Methods TiO2 NTs with dimensions of 30–70 nm in diameter and 2–4 µm in length were added to the ...
