Towards the Development of a Sensor Educational Toolkit to Support Community and Citizen Science.

As air quality sensors increasingly become commercially available, a deeper consideration of their usability and usefulness is needed to ensure effective application by the public. Much of the research related to sensors has focused on data quality and potential applications. While this information is important, a greater understanding of users' experience with sensors would provide complementary information.

Development of a Performance Evaluation Protocol for Air Sensors Deployed on a Google Street View Car.

Performance evaluation studies of low-cost sensors (LCS) measuring air pollutants have been conducted by academic and governmental groups for stationary applications. In contrast, evaluation protocols are nonexistent for LCS used in mobile deployments, though LCS are used in this manner by research groups and may be employed to complement regulatory directives for community monitoring. Mobile measurements with LCS are a nascent but growing use-case, and questions of data quality will become increasingly important.

Development of a Network of Accurate Ozone Sensing Nodes for Parallel Monitoring in a Site Relocation Study.

Recent technological advances in both air sensing technology and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity have enabled the development and deployment of remote monitoring networks of air quality sensors. The compact size and low power requirements of both sensors and IoT data loggers allow for the development of remote sensing nodes with power and connectivity versatility. With these technological advancements, sensor networks can be developed and deployed for various ambient air monitoring applications.

Direct measurement of stain retention in third molars.

Aim: To directly determine the mass of dye retained in teeth following exposure to aqueous solutions of Rhodamine B and to correlate tooth color modifications.

Materials And Methods: Extracted third molars (25) were selected and sectioned at the cementoenamel junction for coronal staining. Pulp tissue was removed and teeth sonicated to remove debris.
