With higher demand for sensor development, piezoelectric materials with advanced performance and wide availability draw more attention today. Accurate second-order material constants are necessary for modeling and mechanical design of sensors that make use of langanite (LaGaNbO, LGN) crystals. We report here on room temperature LGN bulk acoustic wave (BAW) velocities obtained with reduced uncertainties using ultrasound measurements and taking advantage of the cross correlation signal processing technique, and a full set of LGN material constants extracted from the BAW velocity results. Our results compare favorably with prior results assessed as using a reliable measurement technique, and differ in expected fashion from other results based on techniques that do not address a known weakness in the measurement technique.

Background: Obesity and circadian rhythm disruption are significant global health concerns, contributing to an increased risk of metabolic disorders. Both adipose tissue and circadian rhythms play critical roles in maintaining energy homeostasis, and their dysfunction is closely linked to obesity. This study aimed to assess the effects of chronic low-dose SR9009, a REV-ERB ligand, on circadian disruption induced by constant light exposure in mice.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation is the most effective method for determining the mechanical properties of soft biological materials and biomaterials at the nanoscale, with significant applications in many areas, including cancer diagnosis. However, a major drawback of this method is the complexity of the experimental procedure and data processing, which requires several calibration steps.To avoid this complexity, the AFM tip is usually approximated as a perfect cone.

Department of Conservative Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, 26-6, Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 02453, Republic of Korea.

Background: This study aims to compare design, phase transformation behavior, and torsional resistance of the ProGlider (PG) and ProTaper ultimate slider (PUS) and to compare the performance of two files in the glide-path preparation of a double-curved artificial canal.

Methods: Scanning electron microscopy, micro-computed tomography, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the samples. A torsional resistance test was performed to obtain ultimate strength and distortion angle.

When underground tunnels in coal mines traverse geological structurally abnormal zones (faults, collapse columns, fractured zones, etc.), excavation-induced unloading leads to instability and failure of the engineering rock mass. Rock masses in fractured zones are in elastic, plastic, and post-peak stress states, and the process of excavation through these zones essentially involves unloading under full stress paths.
