Modified Neumann incision for implant placement in overdentures: Case series of a less invasive alternative

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Conventional envelope flap techniques for implant placement in edentulous mandibles are associated with greater postoperative morbidity, especially in elderly patients or those with anatomical limitations. Minimally invasive alternatives aim to preserve soft tissues and reduce complications, enhancing clinical predictability ...

Teaming Up for Sustainability: Understanding Different Types, Projects, and Enablers of Employee Sustainability Teams

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Employee sustainability teams—groups collaborating continuously and voluntarily on sustainability initiatives—can serve as a bottom‐up driver for organizational change. Despite their potential, however, their role and contributions are underexplored. To fill this gap, our multi‐case study examines 59 projects by 13 teams across three companies

Spontaneous Imbibition Laws and the Optimal Formulation of Fracturing Fluid during Hydraulic Fracturing in Ordos Basin [PDF]

, 2015
Hydraulic fracturing is an efficient methodology, which has been used widely to improve the recovery of unconventional tight reservoir. However, 50% to 90% of fracturing fluid is remained in the formation during the hydraulic fracturing process, which ...

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...

Roughening dynamics of spontaneous radial imbibition

, 2015
We performed an experimental observation on the spontaneous imbibition of water in a porous media in a radial Hele-Shaw cell and confirmed Washburn's law, where r is distance and t is time. Spontaneous imbibition with a radial interface window followed scaling dynamics when the front invaded into the porous media.

Simulation of pore-scale microscopic spontaneous imbibition of shale based on level-set method [PDF]

The core pore structure of the target shale oil block was finely characterized using scanning electron microscopy， and a microscopic numerical model of the pore-scale core was constructed to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms and the main controlling ...

Closing the Loop in Agrivoltaics: A Radiative Cooling Coating for Synergistic Self‐Cleaning and Water Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A nanostructured photonic‐thermal coating enables radiative‐cooling‐induced condensation and water harvesting, establishing a self‐sustaining agrivoltaics microclimate loop that transforms PV panels into active climate regulators. The integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels into agricultural landscapes (i.e., agrivoltaics) offers a promising path for ...

Quantitative Insights into Atomic Scale Oil–Clay Adhesion Governing Shale Oil Retention and Mobility

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Atomic force microscopy reveals a clear adhesion hierarchy between shale oil and clay minerals, governed by nanoscale surface chemistry. Strong interactions on chlorite and illite arise from abundant polar sites and cation bridging, whereas weaker coupling on montmorillonite limits interfacial binding.

Photothermal–Magnetocaloric Coupled Evaporators for Actively Adjustable Water Evaporation and Oil–Water Purification in Complex Environments

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A photothermal–magnetocaloric coupled aerogel evaporator is developed for actively adjustable water evaporation in complex environments. Magnetocaloric heating provides active energy compensation under low‐light conditions and disrupts interfacial hydrogen‐bond networks to promote evaporation.
