The objective of this study is to evaluate titanium decontamination after different protocols while assessing changes in surface roughness, chemical composition, and wettability.

Ninety-six smooth (S) and 96 minimally rough (R) titanium microimplants were used. Pristine microimplants were reserved for negative control (S-nC/R-nC, n=9),…[Read more]

Additionally, the effect of different viscosity ratios on the migration behavior of the droplet is examined at variable magnetic Bond numbers Bo_m. At α=45^∘, a critical steady state of deformation is found for λ=0.5 and 1 where the droplet changes its migration direction and shifts toward the center of the channel, while at λ=0.05, the drop…[Read more]

Subsequently, analysis of AS events revealed that genes with altered AS patterns were primarily associated with metabolism and cell cycle. With these findings, we have demonstrated aberrant gene expression in complete maturation-deficient oocytes, and we propose that alterations in post-transcriptional regulation constitute a potential underlying…[Read more]

Using indirect calorimetry, anaerobic capacity was not significantly different in either group pre- to postintervention using MAOD (IHT 4% ± 15%; NORM -5% ± 12%) or gross efficiency methods (IHT 7% ± 14%; NORM -2% ± 9%), and VO2peak was unchanged (IHT 1% ± 6%; NORM 1% ± 4%). However, within-group analysis shows that supramaximal work performed i…[Read more]

The bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera Chrysomelidae Bruchinae) can cause significant losses in production of its primary host common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. To avoid bean protection with environmentally risky chemical insecticides and provide sustainable and safe production of food, new pest management methods based on…[Read more]

Recovery work was carried out in cucumber, lemon and broccoli representing high water content, high acid content and high chlorophyll content commodity groups. The results show that the default MRL of 10 ppb can be achieved for more than 93% of the pesticides studied. Mass accuracy, ion ratio and matrix effect studies show that the method is…[Read more]

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using potential biomarkers may help with implementing early therapeutic interventions, monitoring, and ultimately disease treatment. The current study aimed to evaluate serum levels of DKK-1, TNC, and oxidative stress markers, as well as analyzing the expression of LRP6, GSK3A, and GSK3B genes in…[Read more]

The current review is designed with aims to highlight the impact of heat stress (HS) on calves and heifers and to suggest methods for HS alleviation. HS occurs in animals when heat gain from environment and metabolism surpasses heat loss by radiation, convection, evaporation and conduction. Although calves and heifers are comparatively heat…[Read more]
