Background: Flowability and viscosity vary for different adhesive systems owing to differences in their composition. These characteristics can be modified by environmental temperature.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of temperature on the spreading (flow capacity) of simplified-step adhesive systems.
Materials And Methods: Spreading velocities of adhesive systems (Adper Single Bond and Single Bond Plus [3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA]; Prime & Bond 2.1 and Prime & Bond NT [Dentsply Indústria e Comércio Ltda, Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil]; Adper Prompt [3M ESPE]; and One Up Bond F [Tokuyama Corp, Tokyo, Japan]) were analyzed at intervals of 10, 15, 20, and 30 seconds at both 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C by placing 10 microL drops on a glass slide surface with an inclination of 45 degrees. The spreading of each adhesive system was measured in millimeters per second.
Results: Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Student-Newman-Keuls tests. Regression analysis was used to determine a correlation between spreading velocity and time. Statistical significance was considered at a confidence level of 95%. Temperature influenced the spreading velocity, increasing it for Single Bond and Prime & Bond 2.1 and decreasing it for Adper Prompt (p < .05). No differences on spreading were observed for the other adhesives studied (p >.05). Regression analysis of each adhesive system demonstrated an inverse correlation between mean spreading velocity and time (R2 = .999) on both temperatures.
Conclusions: Temperature increases yielded an increase of spreading for Single Bond and Prime & Bond 2.1. The influence of temperature on the spreading velocity was material dependent.
Clinical Significance: Environmental temperature can influence the rate of spreading of the adhesive system in clinically relevant times and may influence adhesive thickness on cavity walls.

In clinics, physical injuries to the spinal cord cause a temporary motor areflexia below lesion, known as spinal shock. This topic is still underexplored due to the lack of preclinical spinal cord injury (SCI) models that do not use anesthesia, which would affect spinal excitability. Our innovative design considered a custom-made micro impactor that provides localized and calibrated strikes to the ventral surface of the thoracic spinal cord of the entire CNS isolated from neonatal rats.

Our study addresses the pressing global freshwater scarcity crisis by engineering advanced liquid-entrapped nanosurfaces optimized for highly efficient atmospheric water harvesting (AWH). Through a synergistic approach integrating carbon fiber paper (CFP), hydrothermally synthesized nanoneedles (NNs), and silicone oil liquid entrapment (LE) within NNs, we achieved remarkable improvements in water collection efficiency. While CFP captures fog effectively during AWH, it faces challenges with water-pinning effects, mitigated by NNs' improved droplet-spreading properties, leading to a notable 50% increase in harvesting efficiency.

In October 2019, South Korea's first case of African swine fever (ASF) was reported in wild boar in the north of the country. Despite the implementation of a 2300 km-long fencing strategy, the ASF wavefront continued to invade southward. Our study aimed to investigate the ASF wavefront dynamics in different regions of South Korea, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the fencing measures on ASF dispersal and wavefront velocity.

The spread of metastases is a crucial process in which some questions remain unanswered. In this work, we focus on tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream, the so-called Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs). Our aim is to characterize their trajectories under the influence of hemodynamic and adhesion forces.

Excitation energy transport can be significantly enhanced by strong light-matter interactions. In the present work, we explore intriguing features of coherent transient exciton wave packet dynamics on a lossless disordered polaritonic wire. Our main results can be understood in terms of the effective exciton group velocity, a new quantity we obtain from the polariton dispersion.
