Evaluation of stresses developed in different bracket-cement-enamel systems using finite element analysis with in vitro bond strength tests

open access: yesProgress in orthodontics, 2014
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine the bond strength of different orthodontic bracket materials (ceramic, stainless steel, and titanium) as well as stresses developed in bracket-cement-enamel systems using finite element (FE) analysis ...

The Role of Theoretical Calculations for INVEST Systems: Complementarity Between Theory and Experiments and Rationalization of the Results

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Theoretical lessons are key for molecules presenting an inverted singlet‐triplet excited state (e.g. S1 and T1) energy difference. This perspective provides a snapshot of the role played by calculations in last years, not only to anticipate experimental findings but also for driving high‐throughput virtual screenings, as well as the main challenge to ...

High Fidelity Waveguides Through Vitreous Media Recomposition for Next Generation Photonic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A newly designed aluminosilicate glass enables the fabrication of femtosecond laser‐written optical waveguides with ultra‐low propagation losses of −0.020 dB cm−1 at 1310 nm and −0.037 dB cm−1 at 1550 nm. Raman, Brillouin, and electron microscopy analyses reveal the mechanisms behind refractive index modifications, highlighting the role of glass ...

Frictional resistance of self-ligating versus conventional brackets in different bracket-archwire-angle combinations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Oral Science, 2014
Objective To compare the influence of archwire material (NiTi, beta-Ti and stainless steel) and brackets design (self-ligating and conventional) on the frictional force resistance.

Enhancement of the Optoelectric and Photovoltaic Responses of Al/PVP:ZnTiO3/p‐Si Structure by Graphene Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This study investigates the optoelectronic response of Al/p‐Si photodiodes with and without a (PVP:Gr‐ZnTiO3) interlayer under varying light intensities. Key parameters are analyzed, revealing that the interlayer enhances photosensitivity, optical responsivity, and specific detectivity.

Deformation Quantization of Certain Non-linear Poisson Structures [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1998
As a generalization of the linear Poisson bracket on the dual space of a Lie algebra, we introduce certain non-linear Poisson brackets which are ``cocycle perturbations'' of the linear Poisson bracket. We show that these special Poisson brackets are equivalent to Poisson brackets of central extension type, which resemble the central extensions of an ...

Spectrophotometric evaluation of dental bleaching under orthodontic bracket in enamel and dentin

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2014
Aware of the diffusion capacity of bleaching in the dental tissues, many orthodontists are subjecting their patients to dental bleaching during orthodontic treatment for esthetic purposes or to anticipate the exchange of esthetic restorations after the ...

Thermo‐Optical Analysis of Surface‐ and Volume‐Additivated Polymer Powders for Near‐Infrared Laser Powder Bed Fusion

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Precipitated PA11 powders for laser powder bed fusion are additivated with small amounts of carbon black nanoparticles on and in the particles. The position of the nanoparticles has a strong impact on dispersion, crystallization, and thermal oxidation.
