Reference Areas Selection Affects Registration of AI-Segmented Mandibles Acquired With CBCT

Image Analysis and Stereology
Precise registration of sequential 3D datasets is crucial for accurate dimensional analysis. Utilizing the Local Best-Fit (LBF) algorithm and stable Registration Reference Areas (RRAs) facilitates the accurate alignment of 3D surface models.

Analysis of the Degradation of a Model Dental Composite [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, 2008
Dental composites undergo material property changes during exposure to the oral environment and may release compounds of potential toxicity, such as bisphenol A. Degradation of dental composites was studied in a simplified overlayer model in which bisphenol A diglycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) was covalently bound to a porous silicon oxide surface.

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.
