Clinical periodontal diagnosis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Experimental Study on the Combustion and Explosion Characteristics of Tributyl Phosphate and Kerosene Mixtures at Different Initial Pressures in High‐Temperature Environments

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The explosion hazard of TBP and kerosene mixed vapor in the nuclear fuel reprocessing process is studied. The results enrich the explosion characteristics and explosion limits of TBP‐kerosene, and provide reference value and basis for the safety setting of the operation process and operating environment of nuclear fuel reprocessing plants ABSTRACT As ...

Environmental Thermoeconomic Performance Analysis of Gas Steam Combined Cycle With Different Inlet Air Cooling Technologies

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study establishes an environmental thermoeconomic cost model to investigate the impact of two IAC technologies on the performance of a GSCC from three aspects of energy, economy, and environment. Under arid climate conditions, the SEC technology demonstrates superior performance in terms of cost‐effectiveness and environmental impact.

The flow liquefaction phenomenon. Theoretical and practical approach

Geotecnia, 2022
In recent years and due to the increase in mining activity, the number of events that have brought catastrophic and sudden ruptures in the mine waste deposits, with the loss of numerous human lives, has increased. In many cases, the main cause of these failures has been interpreted as flow liquefaction.
