Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to design and evaluate a new hand-pulled flame weeder, testing its performance at different pressures and speeds to assess impacts on plant damage, survival rates, and weed management efficiency.
- - The optimal settings for the flame weeder were found to be a speed of 1 km/h and pressure of 40 psi, achieving notable results in weed control, survival rates, and energy consumption during field tests.
- - Although traditional hand weeding was more effective overall, the flame weeder proved to be significantly faster and more cost-efficient, reducing operation costs by over 50% compared to manual methods.
Lung cancer screening via low-dose computed tomography (CT) reduces mortality from lung cancer, and eligibility criteria have recently been expanded to include patients aged 50 to 80 with at least 20 pack-years of smoking history. Lung cancer screening CTs should be interepreted with use of Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS), a reporting guideline system that accounts for nodule size, density, and growth. The revised version of Lung-RADS includes several important changes, such as expansion of the definition of juxtapleural nodules, discussion of atypical pulmonary cysts, and stepped management for suspicious nodules.

Materials And Methods: Ten files each of ProTaper Gold (PG), Hyflex Electro-discharge Machining (HEDM), and TruNatomy (TN) were tested in a custom-fabricated dynamic cyclic fatigue testing device at 60° curvature having a radius of curvature of 5 mm. The number of cycles to the fracture (NCF) of each instrument was calculated and three continuous groups were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn test was used for pairwise comparison.
