Investigators differ on the use of a two-surface or multiple-surface scoring methodology in sectional microleakage studies. This study compared microleakage scores using both two-surface and multiple-surface scoring methods for two preparation types and two different dentin bonding agents. Twenty freshly extracted molars each received one box-shaped and one V-shaped restoration on the mesial or distal surface. Each restoration was cut occlusogingivally into four sections, yielding eight surfaces for scoring. Surfaces were marked to identify central (I), lateral (II), and end (III) locations, then scored by two calibrated raters. The Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank Test showed a statistically significant difference (p less than or equal to 0.05) in median microleakage scores obtained by an end two- surface and multiple-surface evaluation for V-shaped preparations restored with Scotchbond 2, P-50. No other statistically significant comparisons were detected. Results suggest that microleakage may be more extreme at end surfaces and that these end surfaces should be scored so that an accurate microleakage value could be assigned to composite restorations.

Immunomagnetic separation of tumor initiating cells by screening two surface markers.

Isolating tumor initiating cells (TICs) often requires screening of multiple surface markers, sometimes with opposite preferences. This creates a challenge for using bead-based immunomagnetic separation (IMS) that typically enriches cells based on one abundant marker. Here, we propose a new strategy that allows isolation of CD44/CD24 TICs by IMS involving both magnetic beads coated by anti-CD44 antibody and nonmagnetic beads coated by anti-CD24 antibody (referred to as two-bead IMS).

The regressive evolution of eyes has long intrigued biologists yet the genetic underpinnings remain opaque. A system of discrete aquifers in arid Australia provides a powerful comparative means to explore trait regression at the genomic level. Multiple surface ancestors from two tribes of diving beetles (Dytiscidae) repeatedly invaded these calcrete aquifers and convergently evolved eye-less phenotypes.

However, a loss of energy is then reported for large zenith observation angles (θ>50°) with a peak of about 4% for θ≈80°, because of the neglect of the multiple surface reflections.

We propose to measure nonadiabaticity of molecular quantum dynamics rigorously with the quantum fidelity between the Born-Oppenheimer and fully nonadiabatic dynamics. It is shown that this measure of nonadiabaticity applies in situations where other criteria, such as the energy gap criterion or the extent of population transfer, fail. We further propose to estimate this quantum fidelity efficiently with a generalization of the dephasing representation to multiple surfaces.

In this paper, we propose Multiple-Surface Active Volume Models (MSAVM) to extract 3D objects from volumetric medical images. Being able to incorporate spatial constraints among multiple objects, MSAVM is more robust and accurate than the original Active Volume Models. The main novelty in MSAVM is that it has two surface-distance based functions to adaptively adjust the weights of contribution from the image-based region information and from spatial constraints among multiple interacting surfaces.
