The development of high intensity petawatt lasers has created new possibilities for ion acceleration and nuclear fusion using solid targets. In such laser-matter interaction, multiple ion species are accelerated with broad spectra up to hundreds of MeV. To measure ion yields and for species identification, CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors are frequently used.

In this review, we describe the application of Boltzmann kinetic equations for modelling warm dense matter and plasma formed after irradiation of solid materials with intense femtosecond X-ray pulses. Classical Boltzmann kinetic equations are derived from the reduced N-particle Liouville equations. They include only single-particle densities of ions and free electrons present in the sample.

- The study compared two methods for helping teeth look nice and heal after dental work: guided bone regeneration (GBR) and connective tissue graft (CTG).
- Researchers found that both methods had good results, but the CTG method caused less noticeable scars than GBR, even though both groups felt about the same in terms of how their smiling looked.
- Patients who had GBR experienced more swelling and needed more pain relief than those who had CTG, but both methods made life feel more comfortable after a year.
