Objective: To investigate the influence of background color on veneered In-Ceram and Cercon dental ceramics including Vita In-Ceram Electroformed Alumina (AL2), Electroformed Zirconia (Z21), Cercon base color Zirconia and Cercon base Zirconia.
Methods: The colorimetric values of all the materials on noble metal, Ni-Cr alloy, silver amalgam and resin background were measured with a spectrocolorimeter, and the color difference among the groups was calculated.
Results: After veneered, the color difference of Z21 Electroformed Zirconia was more distinct against the background of silver amalgam than against the backgrounds of noble metal and resin, but the color differences of the 4 veneered dental ceramics against different backgrounds were unidentifiable by human eyes (δE<1.5).
Conclusion: After veneered, AL2 electroformed alumina, Z21 electroformed zirconia, Cercon base Zirconia and Cercon base color Zirconia are less influenced by the background color, and covering the background color is therefore not necessary.

Background: The growing demand for natural, health-promoting food products has led to increased interest in integrating nutrient-rich ingredients into everyday foods. The addition of leaves may increase nutrient profile, including essential amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in edible products.
Aim: The study aimed to optimize the addition of leaves in bread, noodles, and pasta and evaluate sensory attributes using a nine-point hedonic scale and nutritional analysis.

Background And Objective: Single-source domain generalization (SSDG) aims to generalize a deep learning (DL) model trained on one source dataset to multiple unseen datasets. This is important for the clinical applications of DL-based models to breast cancer screening, wherein a DL-based model is commonly developed in an institute and then tested in other institutes. One challenge of SSDG is to alleviate the domain shifts using only one domain dataset.

Climate change is a global environmental threat, directly affecting biodiversity. Terrestrial gastropods are particularly susceptible to alterations in temperature and humidity and have develop morph-physiological and behavioural adaptations in this regard. Shell colour polymorphism and its potential implication for thermoresistance constitute an unexplored field in Neotropical land snails.

A AuNSs@PB@Ag-Apt surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe has been developed by embedding Prussian blue (PB) between Au core and Ag shell. The PB SERS probe illustrates strong SERS activity in the Raman silent region of 2070 cm, and has a zero background signal, ensuring high sensitivity for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

Background: Surgical methods of gingival depigmentation can be challenging, particularly if the gingival phenotype is thin due to the risk of gingival recession and bone exposure. Thus, exploring alternative, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment modalities is warranted. In dermatology, vitamin C is extensively used for depigmentation and microneedling for collagen induction, with limited literature about its usage for improving gingival esthetics.
