Characterization of angled tapered superluminescent LEDs.

Published: August 2002

We present a detailed analysis of the output beam of high-power edge-emitting angled tapered superluminescent LEDs (A-TSLEDs). A device model, including spontaneous and stimulated emission processes as well as the typical nonuniform carrier-density distribution due to current spreading and carrier diffusion, has been developed and used to interpret the experimentally obtained characteristics of inhouse-fabricated A-TSLEDs. The good match between measured and theoretical results indicates that the model reproduces the A-TSLED operation very satisfactorily and clearly explains the role of the collecting lens on the pronounced asymmetry of some of the measured optical intensity profiles.

Assessment of a Light-Curable Hydrogel to Be Used for Root Canal Obturation.

J Dent Res

December 2024

Dentistry, School of Health Sciences, College of Medicine and Health, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK.

Root canal obturation involves filling of the chemomechanically prepared root canal space. Despite reduced microbial load, residual bacteria can still lead to reinfection and treatment failure. Currently, obturation techniques use a combination of gutta-percha and sealer, which requires the preparation of the root canal to specific sizes and tapers to enable the fitting of customized cones.

Background: Achondroplasia, due to a specific pathogenic variant in FGFR3, is the most common viable skeletal dysplasia and the diagnosis is mostly done in the prenatal period. Since 2021, the use of Vosoritide, a specific treatment for achondroplasia, validated in phase 3 placebo-controlled trials, has been recommended to significantly increase the height of children and infants. In the light of these new therapeutic prospects, a complete understanding of the pathophysiology of skeletal damages occurring from foetal life is required.

Hydrophobicity of periodic structure with taper angle under pressure impact.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Graduate School of Medicine, Science and Technology, Shinshu University, 3-15-1 Tokida, Ueda, Nagano, 386-8567, Japan.

Biomimetic periodic structures have garnered attention due to their excellent water repellency. The normal-taper angle, which is aspects of the cross-sectional structure, is important factor in achieving water repellency and pressure resistance; however, the underlying physical phenomenon has not been fully explained. Moreover, once a surface becomes hydrophobic, it is difficult to measure the apparent contact angle.

Effect of Loading Angles on Abutment Screw Loosening: In Vitro Study.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res

December 2024

School and Hospital of Stomatology, China Medical University, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.

Aim: Biomechanical performance is a critical factor in the long-term success of dental implants, with abutment screw loosening being a common clinical issue. This study aimed to examine the impact of abutment screw design and external load loading angles on abutment screw loosening.

Materials And Methods: Abutments and abutment screws with 30°, 60°, 90°, and 180° fitting tapers were fabricated and tested for preload and initial loosening torque.
