Aim Using two classifications, this study assessed root morphology and canal configuration and measured the Dentin thickness (DT) and canal shapes. Methods Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with 400 Mandibular Incisors was collected and assessed for the number, length, curvature of roots, number of canals, bifurcation level, configurations based on Vertucci's and Ahmed's classification, DT and canal shape at 3, 6, 9 mm from the apex. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis with a level of significance at p<0.

In this paper, we designed a one-dimensional oxygen-deficient blue TiO(B) (BT) catalyst for improved electron mobility and visible light accessibility. In addition, hexagonal ZnInS (ZIS) nanosheets with a low bandgap and great visible light accessibility are employed to produce effective heterostructures with BT.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo-dimensional (2D) g-CN (CN) has garnered massive interest for photocatalytic applications owing to its excellent photon contact area, visible-light absorption, and easy transport of photogenerated charge carriers to the surface. However, bulk CN suffers from intrinsically poor charge separation, limited specific surface area, and insufficient visible-light absorption, significantly limiting its photocatalytic efficiency. Exfoliation of bulk crystals into nanosheets with few layers has proven to be an effective and widely used strategy to enhance photocatalytic performance; however, this process is quite complicated, requiring longer times and external energy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDual-atom-site catalysts (DACs) have emerged as a new frontier in heterogeneous catalysis because the synergistic effect between adjacent metal atoms can promote their catalytic activity while maintaining the advantages of single-atom-site catalysts, such as almost 100 % atomic efficiency and excellent hydrocarbon selectivity. In this study, cobalt-based atom site catalysts with a Co -N coordination structure were synthesized and used for photodriven CO reduction. The resulting CoDAC containing 3.
