AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the development of a far infrared dental porcelain slurry using tourmaline as an additive through a ball-milling method aimed at producing artificial teeth via selective slurry extrusion technique.
- Characterization techniques revealed significant enhancements in the far infrared emission properties of the dental porcelain, attributed to an increased number of infrared active bonds from the tourmaline.
- The addition of tourmaline also improved the pseudo-plastic properties of the slurries, making them more suitable for precise shaping during the fabrication process, which can lead to the creation of various health-beneficial bio-artifacts.
Article Abstract
The far infrared dental porcelain slurry for fabricating artificial tooth via selective slurry extrusion (SSE) of solid freeform fabrication (also known as rapid prototyping) techniques was prepared by using tourmaline as additive and employing ball-milling approach. After characterization by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, it was found that the far infrared emission properties of the dental porcelain were apparently improved in the ranges of 2000-1201 cm(-1) and 881-600 cm(-1). This is due to the increase of the number of infrared active bonds that are from the tourmaline superfine powders. Moreover, it was also found that the tourmaline superfine powders can improve the pseudo-plastic properties of dental porcelain slurries, which results from the increase of the absolute value of zeta potential of the suspensions. Slurries with pseudo-plastic behavior are highly desirable in controlling the shape of the extrudate during solid freeform fabrication. With the functionalized material, a variety of bio-artifacts beneficial to body health can be built by using selective slurry extrusion machine.

Background: Applying single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to the study of neurodegenerative disease has propelled the field towards a more refined cellular understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, directly linking protein pathology to transcriptomic changes has not been possible at scale. Recently, a high-throughput method was developed to generate high-quality scRNA-seq data while retaining cytoplasmic proteins. Tau is a cytoplasmic protein and when hyperphosphorylated is integrally involved in AD progression.

The increasing incidence of structural failures, such as cracks and collapses, in rock masses within mines, tunnels, and other civil engineering environments has attracted considerable attention among scholars in recent years. Grouting serves as a principal solution to these issues. The Renlou Coal Mine in the Anhui Province is used as a case study to evaluate the effectiveness of nanosilica (NS) as an additive in ultrafine cement (UC), introducing a novel grouting material for practical applications.

This study addresses the challenge of reducing ammonia (NH) emissions from agriculture by evaluating various mitigation techniques. The research utilized a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) to integrate quantitative data on NH volatilization reduction with qualitative stakeholder perceptions, aiming to identify the best available techniques (BATs) that balance environmental, economic, and socio-cultural factors for farmers in the Veneto region of Italy. The BBN framework established probabilistic dependencies between variables related to livestock, crop type, manure storage, fertilization management, and pedo-climatic conditions.
