Beyond the Wind: Mapping Externalities and Their Role in Shaping Willingness To Pay for Wind Energy

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTWind power plays a central role in global low‐carbon energy transitions, offering significant environmental benefits through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decreased reliance on fossil fuels. Yet, local opposition to wind projects persists, often driven by perceived externalities affecting communities and landscapes. This study conducts a

The effects of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics and biofilm formation

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the impact of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics (surface roughness and wettability) and biofilm formation (viability and mass). Materials and Methods Titanium discs were obtained from pre‐milled abutment blanks made of titanium‐6aluminum‐7niobium alloy.

Implementing 3D‐printed indexing devices and contemporary scanning techniques for complete‐arch implant‐supported rehabilitations: A clinical case report

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract A sixty‐eight‐year‐old male presented to the dental clinic seeking a complete mouth rehabilitation. He exhibited generalized dental caries, dental staining, cervical lesions, fremitus, and anterior wear. After declining tooth‐retaining options, he elected full‐mouth extractions with immediately loaded implant‐supported prostheses.

Effect of metal framework design on the fracture resistance of implant‐supported metal–ceramic crowns fabricated by selective laser melting

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the fracture resistance of implant‐supported metal–ceramic crowns fabricated using selective laser melting (SLM), according to the metal support height around the screw access hole (SAH) and the substructure design. Materials and Methods Metal–ceramic crowns and rectangular bilayer specimens were fabricated using SLM in two
