Aim: The aim of this work is to analyze by scanning electron microscopy implant components that have mechanically failed in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Three clinical cases are presented relative to single lateral posterior restorations supported by implants and a case of a mandibular overdenture supported by two implants. In all the reported cases the presence of an incongruous occlusal load caused the fracture of the components of the implant supported restorations.

Conclusion: From the analysis of the cases examined in this study, it is deduced that the functional overload influences the biomechanical behavior of the prosthetic rehabilitation supported by an implant and may, in less fortunate cases, determine the failure following the fracture of the connecting screws and/or the fixture.

The complex, varied composition (i.e., rubbers/elastomers, carbon black, fillers, additives, and embedded road materials) and wide density range of tire road wear particles (TRWPs) present challenges for their isolation and identification from environmental matrices.

Lanthanide atoms show long magnetic lifetimes because of their strongly localized 4 electrons, but electrical control of their spins has been difficult because of their closed valence shell configurations. We achieved electron spin resonance of individual lanthanide atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope to probe the atoms bound to a protective insulating film. The atoms on this surface formed a singly charged cation state having an unpaired 6 electron, enabling tunnel current to access their 4 electrons.

The influence of pectins and cellulose in the mechanical and adhesive properties of seed mucilage.

Several plant seeds release a mucilaginous envelope through hydration, rich in pectins and stabilized by cellulose fibers. This mucilage aids in seed protection, development, and adhesion for dispersal. This study aimed to separate the effects of pectins and cellulose fibers by using pectinase to remove mucilage pectins, leaving cellulose arrays, and performing wet and dry pull-off force measurements on seeds of three plant species: Salvia hispanica (Chia), Collomia grandiflora (Collomia) and Linum usitatissimum (Flax).

Morphology regulation and element doping are effective means to improving the photocatalytic performance of graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-CN). In this article, using melamine and zinc chloride as raw materials, a novel kind of Zn/Cl-doped hollow microtubular g-CN (Zn-HT-CN) by a hydrothermal method was developed. The structure and morphology of Zn-HT-CN and reference samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc.

Nanoporous graphene (NPG), laterally bonded carbon nanoribbons, is a promising platform for controlling coherent electron propagation in the nanoscale. However, for its successful device integration NPG should ideally be on a substrate that preserves or enhances its anisotropic transport properties. Here, using an atomistic tight-binding model combined with nonequilibrium Green's functions, we study NPG on graphene and show that their electronic coupling is modulated as a function of the interlayer twist angle.
