ABSTRACT Aim Hydraulic calcium silicate cements are widely employed in endodontics due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, sealing ability, and remineralisation potential. However, currently used products such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) exhibit several limitations, including discolouration, cost, and poor handling properties ...

Abstract The small killifish Aphanius almiriensis (Kottelat, Barbieri & Stoumboudi, 2007) inhabits from brackish springs to estuaries and coastal lagoons in the eastern Mediterranean basin. This study focused on the detailed characterization of Aphanius almiriensis from a hypersaline geothermal spring (Tuzla, Çanakkale, NW Anatolia), where extreme ...

Autonomous Frameless Spine Registration and Robot‐Assisted Surgery
Workflow of a contactless, frame‐free, robot‐assisted vertebra registration system. Preoperative CT data establish vertebra {V} and mask {Mpre} coordinate systems. Their relationship is computed, and intraoperatively the robot recognizes the skin‐affixed mask, defining {Mintra}.

What's new? Early diagnosis is critical for improving pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma prognosis, but few biomarkers currently exist. In a case–control study of 1,307 pancreatic cancer cases and matched pairs nested in prospective cohort studies, 13 miRNA–cancer associations were found to change during the blood‐draw‐to‐diagnosis time window.

F IS FOR FALCON: THE TRUE STORY OF THE ‘NOVELLE’
ABSTRACT This article takes a closer look at the Boccaccio story upon which Paul Heyse based his famous ‘Falken‐Theorie’ of the ‘Novelle’. The essay then links Boccaccio to a general account of storytelling as an aid to survival amid the hostility of nature and human circumstances.

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Soil amendment effects on field‐saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of sodic soils
Abstract Soil sodicity degrades soil structure and restricts water movement by promoting clay swelling, dispersion, and surface sealing, thereby reducing infiltration and hydraulic conductivity. This study aims to evaluate the effects of four soil amendments (elemental sulfur, gypsum, compost, and humate) on the hydraulic conductivity of sodic soils ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
