This paper presents experimental results for the characteristics of acoustic waves propagating in a structure containing two parallel piezoelectric plates (I and II) separated by an air gap. Plate I, made of Y-X lithium niobate, contained two interdigital transducers that excited and received an acoustic wave with shear-horizontal polarization. Piezoelectric plate II, made of lithium niobate, was placed above and between the transducers, separated by a fixed gap. For its certain orientation, the amplitude-frequency characteristic showed sharply defined resonant attenuation peaks, which were situated at an equidistant separation from each other. The depth of the peaks was observed to decrease with a wider gap between the plates. It has been stated that these peaks are associated with the resonant reflections of a slot acoustic wave across the width of plate II. Experimentally determined phase velocities and electromechanical coupling coefficient for the slot wave in the structure under study are in a good agreement with theoretical values for various crystallographic orientations of plate II. A comparison between the experimental and theoretical results has allowed us to state two conditions for the slot wave to exist. The structures described may be employed for noncontact excitation of acoustic waves in the plates and for the development of various liquid, gas, and temperature sensors.

Effect of Cervical Margin Relocation With Different Injectable Restorative Materials on Fracture Resistance of Molars Received MOD CAD/CAM Onlay Restorations.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cervical margin relocation with four different injectable restorative materials on the fracture resistance of molars receiving mesio-occluso-distal CAD/CAM nanoceramic onlay restorations.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and five sound mandibular molars received a standardized mesio-occluso-distal onlay preparation, with cervical margins located 2 mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction. The molars were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 21) according to the cervical relocating materials used: Group I had no cervical margin relocation; Group II used a highly viscous glass ionomer; Group III used a highly-filled injectable resin composite; Group IV used a resin-modified glass ionomer; and Group V used a bioactive ionic resin.
Plasma-Activated Water/Ultrasound as a Green Method to Modify Wood Fiber By-Product: Insights of Their Mechanical Performance in Polylactic Acid-Based Biofilms.

Exploring new ecological and simultaneous processes to modify wood fibers (WF) by-products is a required pathway toward circular economy and sustainability. Thus, plasma-activated water (PAW) and ultrasound (U) were employed as alternative methods to modify WF in a continuous process. Such treatments promoted the etching and cavities on the WF surface that destabilized the hydrogen bonds of the hemicellulose and lignin molecules, increasing the cellulose fraction.

Background: Subjective tinnitus is characterized by perception of sound in the absence of any external or internal acoustic stimuli. Many approaches have been developed over the years to treat tinnitus (medical and nonmedical). However, no consensus has been reached on the optimal therapeutic approach.

The global spread of COVID-19, particularly through cough symptoms, necessitates efficient diagnostic tools. COVID-19 patients exhibit unique cough sound patterns distinguishable from other respiratory conditions. This study proposes an advanced framework to detect and predict COVID-19 using deep learning from cough audio signals.

Early life trauma has been shown to facilitate habitual behavior, which may predispose individuals toward perpetuating maladaptive behaviors. However, previous investigations did not account for other traumatic childhood experiences like racial/ethnic discrimination exposure, nor have they examined the interaction of trauma and habits on real-world adverse outcomes. To examine these effects, we recruited 96 young adults (20.
