Antimicrobial‐Releasing Implant Substrates for Combating Oral Biofilms: An In Vitro Study
Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Peri‐implantitis, a biofilm‐associated inflammatory disease, significantly threatens dental implant longevity. Current treatments face limitations due to biofilm robustness. This study evaluates the efficacy of antimicrobial‐releasing titanium‐silica (Ti/SiO2) composite implant systems against multispecies oral ...

POSITION-BASED DISTRIBUTED HASH TABLES
, 2006 In this thesis we want to create scalable, fault-tolerant and self-configuring dictionaries that can be deployed in a wide range of networks, including highly dynamic networks with frequent membership changes, like peer-to-peer overlay networks or wireless ad hoc networks.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

An Economic Analysis of Difficulty Adjustment Algorithms in Proof‐of‐Work Blockchain Systems
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the stability of cryptocurrency systems through difficulty adjustment. Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA) exhibits instability when the reward elasticity of the hash rate is high, implying that a sharp price reduction could disrupt the current Bitcoin system.

Cryptocurrency Bubbles and Costly Mining
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops a model of a cryptocurrency by incorporating mining into the otherwise standard search‐theoretic monetary framework. As usual, multiple equilibria exist. To obtain a sharp prediction on whether a cryptocurrency' s value will last in the future, I propose a notion of equilibrium refinement based on the feature that mining ...
