Analyzing Color, Surface Roughness, and Microhardness on the Unpolished and Polished Surfaces of Occlusal Splint Materials From Conventional and CAD–CAM Fabrication Methods

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Purpose To evaluate the color, surface roughness, and microhardness of occlusal splints fabricated using conventional and CAD–CAM techniques and to compare the properties of the unpolished and polished surfaces. Materials and Methods A total of 114 specimens (10 × 10 × 5 mm3) were prepared, including one group each of self‐cured (SC) and heat‐cured (HC)

Spatial Factors Shape Taxonomic and Functional Beta‐Diversity in Water‐Filled Tree Holes in Different Biogeographical Regions

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
Spatial processes predominantly shape taxonomic and functional β‐diversity of macroinvertebrate communities in water‐filled tree holes in different biogeographical regions, with species richness differences driving both taxonomic and functional patterns overall, while functional turnover was pronounced in the Palaeotropical region.

Nitrogen loss to the environment due to various nitrogen-use efficiencies during milk and beef production in Japan

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Reactive nitrogen (Nr) is essential to livestock production, but its excess use can become a source of environment pollution, the extent of which can be evaluated by using a nitrogen (N) footprint model.
