An optical biosensor based on vegetal cells entrapped in an inorganic translucent matrix and fluorescence detection has been developed. The biosensor uses Chlorella vulgaris immobilized in a translucent support produced from sol-gel technology. The translucence of the structure enables the algal active layer to be placed directly in contact with the optical fibers for fluorescence detection. This configuration has many advantages over the use of an opaque support because no space between the optical fibers and the active layer is required to collect fluorescence. This reagentless biosensor allows determination of diuron as an anti-PSII herbicide and its long term activity is assessed.

, São José dos Campos, Brazil.
Objectives: This study evaluated the mechanical, optical, microstructural, surface, and adhesive behavior of a 3D printing resin comparing it with a machinable resin composite.
Materials And Methods: Specimens of different sizes and shapes were either printed (Vitality, Smart Dent) or machinable (Grandio Blocs, Voco GmbH) resin composites with similar composition were prepared. Surface and mechanical characterization were performed with Knoop hardness, flexural strength (three-point-bending), and elastic modulus tests.

Purpose: The main aim of the present study was to carry out a scoping review on the differences in degree of conversion of monomers regarding several types resin cements, indirect restorative materials, and light-curing procedures used in dentistry.
Method: A bibliographic review was performed on PubMed using the following search items: "degree of conversion" OR "filler" AND "resin cement" OR "inorganic cement" AND "organic" OR "radiopacity" OR "refractive" OR "transmittance" OR "type" AND "resin composite." The search involved articles published in English language within the last thirteen years.
One-Dimensional Copper-Doped RbAgI with Efficient Sky-Blue Emission as a High-Performance X-ray Scintillator.

Scintillators have garnered heightened attention for their diverse applications in medical imaging and security inspection. Nonetheless, commercial scintillators encounter challenges with costly rare-earth metals and toxic elements like thallium (Tl), driving the need for sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternatives to meet contemporary X-ray detection demands. This study focuses on exploring the potential of Cu-doped RbAgI as an effective metal halide (MH) scintillator.

The interaction of free cationic silicon oxide clusters, Si O ( = 2-5, ≥ ), with dilute water vapor, was investigated in a flow tube reactor. Product mass distributions indicate cluster size-dependent dissociative water adsorption. To probe the structure and vibrational spectra of the resulting Si O H ( = 2-4) clusters, we employed infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.
