Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effect of three curing modes of a high-powered curing-light source on the shear bond strength and marginal gap of light- and dual-cured adhesive resin cements to dentin.
Materials And Methods: Twelve freshly extracted intact human mandibular molars were selected for this study and stored in the saline solution. Three of the axial surfaces of the teeth were prepared to obtain flat dentinal surfaces. Thirty-six ceramic disks (4-mm diameter, 2- mm thick) were constructed from a pressable glass-ceramic (Vision). The discs were etched with hydrofluoric acid and primed, and then divided into two equal groups, groups I and II (n = 18 each). Two adhesive systems were used following manufacturer's instructions. The discs of group I were bonded to the conditioned dentin surface using adhesive resin (Rely X Veneer), and group II discs were bonded to dentin using Rely X ARC. For each group, the resin was cured using three modes (fast, ramp, pulse). Interfacial gap at the dentin/resin interface was measured at eight predetermined sites for each specimen using a stereomicroscope, and shear bond strength of the bonded specimens was carried out using a universal testing machine.
Results: Ramp-cured specimens recorded significantly higher mean shear bond strengths for both dual- and light-polymerized resins than those with fast and pulse modes. Moreover, fewer interfacial gaps were found at the resin/dentin interface in association with ramp cure modes of both resins. Most failures were adhesive failures at the dentin-resin luting agent (RLA) interface in specimens polymerized using high-powered LED fast or pulse modes, while a cohesive failure pattern within the resin was associated with the ramp-curing mode.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the shear bond strength of an RLA to dentin was found to be enhanced with light- or dual-polymerized adhesive resin using an LED light in ramp mode, whereas shear bond strength was significantly lower when polymerized using LED in fast or pulse modes.

Sustainable pavement is essential for country development, offering durable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective infrastructure. For Malaysia, sustainable pavement supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 and 11 while addressing road deterioration caused by increasing traffic volumes and loads. This deterioration shortens pavement service life and necessitates frequent maintenance, driving the need for innovative solutions.

In response to the rotary ploughing equipment in the stubble land to implement protective operations, the stubble is large in number and strong in toughness, not easy to crush, resulting in rotary ploughing equipment to produce entanglement and increased resistance to rotary ploughing and other issues. In this study, researchers designed a bionic rotary tillage blade (B-RTB) based on the bionic structural equations of the Marmota claw. A straw-soil complex shear performance test was conducted to investigate the effect of straw on soil shear strength.

Statement Of Problem: Comprehensive data are needed on the performance of chemically activated, chairside hard reline materials when used with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture bases and conventionally processed bases. This lack of data affects decisions regarding the chairside reline material to be used for improving the fit and retention of relined complete dentures.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of 3 chemically activated, chairside hard reline materials on CAD-CAM milled and conventional heat-polymerized PMMA denture bases.

Emerging photovoltaics for outer space applications are one of the many examples where radiation hard molecular semiconductors are essential. However, due to a lack of general design principles, their resilience against extra-terrestrial high-energy radiation can currently not be predicted. In this work, the discovery of radiation hard materials is accelerated by combining the strengths of high-throughput, lab automation and machine learning.
