There is an existing problem of cumulative hazardous effect of violet and near ultra-violet light which is produced by standard polymerisation units. Another restrict is shallow depth of cure, particularly of darker composite shades in premolar and molar region. Searching for better light source we used indium resonance lines from several indium high pressure lamps and tested curing effect on three different composite resins. The overall results are better with the lamp in which two strong resonance lines of indium are present, rather than with a lamp with just one strong resonance line. The improvements in lamp design are necessary to overcome conventional polymerisation lamps.

Epigenetic variation in light of population genetic practice.
Nat Commun
January 2025
Division of Evolutionary Biology, Faculty of Biology, LMU Munich, Planegg-Martinsried, Germany.
The evolutionary impact of epigenetic variation depends on its transgenerational stability and source - whether genetically determined, environmentally induced, or due to spontaneous, genotype-independent mutations. Here, we evaluate current approaches for investigating an independent role of epigenetics in evolution, pinpointing methodological challenges. We further identify opportunities arising from integrating epigenetic data with population genetic analyses in natural populations.

BMJ Open
January 2025
Centre for Public Health, Institute of Clinical Sciences B, Royal Victoria Hospital, Queen's University Belfast School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, Belfast, UK.
Objectives: This study sheds light on the available global definitions, classifications, and criteria used for rare diseases (RDs), ultrarare diseases (URDs), orphan drugs (ODs) and ultraorphan drugs (UODs) and provides insights into the rationale behind these definitions.
Design: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify existing definitions and the criteria used to define RDs, ODs and their subtypes.
Data Sources: Searches were performed in the PubMed/Medline, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science (Science and Social Sciences Citation Index) databases covering articles published from 1985 to 2021.
Time-Series Image-Based Automated Monitoring Framework for Visible Facilities: Focusing on Installation and Retention Period.
Sensors (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Architectural Engineering, Dankook University, 152 Jukjeon-ro, Yongin-si 16890, Republic of Korea.
In the construction industry, ensuring the proper installation, retention, and dismantling of temporary structures, such as jack supports, is critical to maintaining safety and project timelines. However, inconsistencies between on-site data and construction documentation remain a significant challenge. To address this, this study proposes an integrated monitoring framework that combines computer vision-based object detection and document recognition techniques.

Sensors (Basel)
January 2025
Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering, City St George's, University of London, London EC1V 0HB, UK.
The effect of skin pigmentation on photoplethysmography and, specifically, pulse oximetry has recently received a significant amount of attention amongst researchers, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. With most computational studies observing overestimation of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO) in individuals with darker skin, this study seeks to further investigate the root causes of these discrepancies. This study analysed intensity changes from Monte Carlo-simulated reflectance PPG signals across light, moderate, and dark skin types at oxygen saturations of 70% and 100% in MATLAB R2024a.

The processing of beans begins with a particularly time-consuming procedure, the hydration of the seeds. Ultrasonic treatment (US) represents a potential environmentally friendly method for process acceleration, while near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is a proposedly suitable non-invasive monitoring tool to assess compositional changes. Our aim was to examine the hydration process of red kidney beans of varying sizes and origins.
