The PocketPerio application significantly increases the accuracy of diagnosing periodontal conditions in didactic and chairside settings.

The study aimed to determine the accuracy of diagnosing periodontal conditions using the developed web-based PocketPerio application and evaluate the user's perspective on the use of PocketPerio. First, 22 third-year dental students (DS3) diagnosed ten cases without PocketPerio (control) and with PocketPerio (test) during a mock examination. Then, 105 DS3, 13 fourth-year dental students (DS4), and 32 senior second-year International Standing Program students (ISP2) used PocketPerio chairside.

Cognitive Science From the Perspective of Linguistic Diversity.

This letter addresses two issues in language research that are important to cognitive science: the comparability of word meanings across languages and the neglect of an integrated approach to writing systems. The first issue challenges generativist claims by emphasizing the importance of comparability of data, drawing on typologists' findings about different languages. The second issue addresses the exclusion of diverse writing systems from linguistic investigation and argues for a more extensive study of their effects on language and cognition.

Disambiguating Effects of Syllable Position and Neighborhood Size: Contributions of Hanja During Sino-Korean Processing.

A language's writing system offers a complex lens through which to explore its lexicon. Korean's bi-scriptal lexicon comprising its native script Hangul and Chinese Hanja, enables a unique window into what is and is not permissible in the language, as well as a chance to investigate how properties of the written form are reflected in the mental representation of the language. Through a novel priming paradigm, we investigated the effects of Hanja on visual word recognition in Hangul.

CuInS Photocathodes with Atomic Gradation-Controlled (Ta,Mo)(O,S) Passivation Layers for Efficient Photoelectrochemical H Production.

An atomic gradient passivation layer, (Ta,Mo)(O,S), is designed to improve the charge transportation and photoelectrochemical activity of CuInS-based photoelectrodes. We found that Mo spontaneously diffused to the a-TaO layer during e-beam evaporation. This result indicates that the gradient profile of MoO/TaO is formed in the sublayer of (Ta,Mo)(O,S).

Photoelectrochemical CO Reduction with a Rhenium Organometallic Redox Mediator at Semiconductor/Aqueous Liquid Junction Interfaces.

Electrochemical and photoelectrochemical CO reductions were carried out with Re(bh-bipy)(CO) (OH ) cocatalysts in aqueous electrolytes. Competition between hydrogen evolution and CO reduction was observed under (photo)electrochemical conditions for both glassy carbon and CuInS electrodes. The partial current density for CO generation is limited even though the additional potential is applied.
