The effect of gingival, clinical and radiographic outcomes while using prefabricated stainless steel crowns (SSC), resin strip crowns and zirconia crowns in primary molars is of interest to dentists. Clinical periodontal and radiographic evaluation was conducted for three groups at baseline 3, 6, 9 and 12 months intervals utilizing scoring system. According to the current study's findings, gingival health was better in the zirconia crown group compared to the resin strip crown and SSC groups. In addition, zirconia group demonstrated respectable clinical and radiographic outcomes when compared to resin strip crowns and stainless steel crowns, with the added benefit of better aesthetics.

Thermochemical conversion technologies are emerging as one of the most promising approaches to tackle food waste crisis. However, the existing techniques confront significant challenges in terms of syngas selectivity and catalyst stability. This study introduced a cost-effective Joule heating approach utilizing sequential catalysts composed of treated stainless steel (SS) and biochar to optimize syngas production from food waste.

Among the physical decontamination methods, treatment with ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a suitable means of preventing viral infections. Mercury vapor lamps (254 nm) used for room decontamination are potentially damaging to human skin (radiation) and harmful to the environment (mercury). Therefore, other UV-C wavelengths (100-280 nm) may be effective for virus inactivation on skin without damaging it, e.

Recent advancements in polymer materials have enabled the synthesis of bio-based monomers from renewable resources, promoting sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials. This study presents a novel zwitterionic surfactant, SF, derived from 10-undecenoic acid obtained from castor oil through a four-step reaction, achieving a yield of 78%. SF has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 1235 mg/L, slightly higher than the commercial anionic surfactant Rhodacal DS-4 (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), and effectively stabilizes monomer droplets, leading to excellent conversion and stable latex formation.

are significant spoilage bacteria in raw milk and dairy products, primarily due to their ability to form biofilms and resist disinfection. This study explored the effects of the phage combined with sodium hypochlorite in reducing biofilms on stainless steel at various temperatures and ages. Biofilms were formed using UFV 041 in UHT milk, incubated at 4 °C and 30 °C for 2 and 7 days.
