ABSTRACT In the present study, creep tests of a TiAl alloy were conducted using miniature specimens (d = 2 mm) under various conditions to investigate their creep properties at 760°C. The test results indicate that creep rupture time obtained using miniature specimens at identical applied stress levels increase with the order of test condition Ar gas ...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the marginal adaptation and margin trueness of lithium disilicate glass‐ceramic (LDS) and glass‐filler reinforced composite resin (CR) onlays fabricated using three different finish lines and two chairside CAM units (4‐ and 5‐axis). Methods LDS (e.max CAD) and CR (Tetric CAD) onlays were fabricated on butt joint, chamfer,

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the North Carolina Index (NCI) for identifying dentin type (sclerotic vs. nonsclerotic) in natural noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Materials and Methods Thirty extracted human premolars with 30 NCCLs (90 regions of interest) were analyzed. Two blinded,

Abstract In situ synchrotron X‐ray computed tomography enables dynamic material studies. However, automated segmentation remains challenging due to complex imaging artefacts – like ring and cupping effects – and limited training data. We present a methodology for deep learning‐based segmentation by transforming high‐quality ex situ laboratory data to ...

Abstract Purpose The present study evaluated the effects of the root portion design, segment (middle vs. apical), and part (die vs. cast) on the trueness of three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed removable die‐cast complex. Material and Methods The trueness of apical and middle segments of the root portion of 45 3D‐printed removable dies and casts with three ...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the marginal gap of two‐piece polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments fabricated with different methods, before and after thermal cycling, while also focusing on their pull‐off bond strength. Materials and Methods A two‐piece abutment was virtually designed after digitizing a titanium‐base (Ti‐base) abutment.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate how commercially available composite resins in varying filler content affect the fabrication and fit accuracy (trueness and precision) of additively manufactured (AM) definitive crowns with different margin thickness and cement gaps by comparing them to subtractively manufactured (SM) polymer‐infiltrated ceramic crowns ...

Abstract Purpose This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of printing temperature and post‐curing duration on the dimensional reproducibility and mechanical properties of three‐dimensional (3D)–printed dental prostheses. Materials and Methods Photopolymer specimens were fabricated using a stereolithographic 3D printer at two temperatures: room

Summary The digitisation of plant collections is bringing large quantities of information into accessible electronic databases. However, in recent decades, traditional taxonomic work in collections has declined, meaning that more specimens are only determined to family or genus, particularly when lacking key identification structures.

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced
