Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cycling whitening toothpaste with cigarette smoking (WTCS) on the evolution of roughness, color, translucency, and gloss of microfilled, microhybrid, and nanofilled resin composites.
Methods: 15 specimens of Durafill - DVS, Empress Direct - ED, and Z350 - FZ were divided into three groups according to the toothpastes:: conventional, control group, (Colgate - C) and Whitening (Colgate Luminous White - CW and Oral B 3D White - OW) and roughness, color, translucency, and gloss were evaluated before and after the specimens were submitted to WTCS for 8 weeks. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, 3-way repeated measures ANOVA, and Tukey HSD post hoc test (α= 0.05).
Results: Only ED and FZ brushed with CW and FZ brushed with C presented an increase in roughness after WTCS. The three composites suffered a significant color alteration after WTCS. Excepting DVS brushed with CW, all the other groups presented a significant reduction in translucency after WTCS. DVS was the only resin composite that maintained its gloss stability after WTCS. Whitening toothpastes behaved similarly to conventional (control) toothpaste regarding the evolution of roughness and optical stability of the three resin composites.
Clinical Significance: Whitening toothpastes were not capable of maintaining the color stability of the three resin composites after 8 weeks of toothpastes-cigarette smoking cycling.

Observing the intricate microstructure changes in abrasive flow machining with traditional experimental methods is difficult. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to look at the process of abrasive flow processing from a microscopic scale in this work. A molecular dynamics model for micro-cutting a single crystal γ-TiAl alloy with a rough surface in a fluid medium environment is constructed, which is more realistic.

The shear resistance of filling joints is an important factor affecting the stability of rock joints. Pressure-shear tests of cement-filled joints were carried out. Combined with the acoustic emission (AE) technique, the effects of normal stress, roughness and filling degree on the shear strength, damage morphology and damage evolution of cement-filled joints were investigated.

Ultrashort pulsed (USP) laser burst ablation has attracted numerous interests for its great potential in enhancing ablation efficiency and reducing the heat-affected zone. However, little attention has been paid to the influence of burst ablation on the processed surface quality. To fill this research gap, the present study conducts a comprehensive investigation on the surface processing of stainless steel using ultrashort pulsed laser burst ablation.

Bacteriophages infect gram-negative bacteria by attaching to molecules present on the bacterial surface, often lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Modification of LPS can lead to resistance to phage infection. In addition, LPS modifications can impact antibiotic susceptibility, allowing for phage-antibiotic synergism.

This study investigates the critical impact of incipient sediment motion on sediment transport estimation and riverbed evolution prediction. In this research, we examine the effects of ice cover on the vertical distribution of flow velocity, establishing a mathematical relationship between the vertical average flow velocities in open channel and ice-covered flows. This leads to the derivation of a formula for incipient motion velocity under ice cover.
