Abstract The tribological properties of self-lubricating composites are influenced by many variables and complex mechanisms.Data-driven methods, including machine learning (ML) algorithms, can yield a better comprehensive understanding of complex problems under the influence of multiple parameters, typically for how tribological performances and ma

The following piece is a bricolage of both absence and presence, borne of the observation of such phenomena within a 1953 exhibition, held at the ICA, London, called Parallel of Life and Art.There were no captions.Only an accompanying catalogue detailing the titles and sources of The Arizona Pant each image.It is through both this catalogue and the

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films had been formed as a surface treatment for intracorporal device for decreasing the coefficient of friction.DLC film showed significant stability without being damaged during acid immersion and high-pressure steam sterilization.However, bacteria that adhere to medical devices lead to the induction of infectious diseas

Background The redundant extracellular matrix (ECM) within tumor microenvironment (TME) such as hyaluronic acid (HA) often impairs intratumoral dissemination of antitumor drugs.Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are being studied extensively for cancer therapy either alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.Here, we designed a novel recombi

Objective: This study was designed to compare the stress produced at the PDL of abutment teeth with two angles of cervical convergence, in otherwise similar settings.Materials and Methods: Two finite element models were designed for Cake Mix a second premolar and a removable partial denture frame containing an I-bar clasp.Maximum Principal Stress (
