AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the REFIX technology in the remineralization process of initial caries simulated on bovine enamel. The assessment involved the analysis of backscatter intensity, which was determined from laser speckle images.
Method: Twenty-one bovine teeth were divided into three groups: G1 and G7 were submitted to treatment with the REFIX technology for 1 and 7 days, respectively. The control group was treated with deionized water.
Results: A significant difference in backscatter was found between the carious and sound areas in all groups (p = 0.0038, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.0002 for the control group, G1, and G7, respectively). The intergroup comparison revealed no significant difference among the groups studied.
Conclusion: REFIX technology did not alter the optical properties of the samples of bovine teeth with simulated initial caries lesions after 1 and 7 days of treatment.

Eye tracker calibration: How well can humans refixate a target?
Behav Res Methods

Irrespective of the precision, the inaccuracy of a pupil-based eye tracker is about 0.5 . This paper delves into two factors that potentially increase the inaccuracy of the gaze signal, namely, 1) Pupil-size changes and the pupil-size artefact (PSA) and 2) the putative inability of experienced individuals to precisely refixate a visual target.

CO capture technology can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. CO capture driven by electrochemical reactions is attractive because the operation is carried out at normal temperature and pressure and involves a simple input system using electrical energy. Although promising metal complexes with high CO fixation performance have been reported, there are few studies on systems that combine electrochemical reactions and metal complexes.

Dynamic performance of combined biochar from co-pyrolysis of pig manure with invasive weed: Effect of natural aging on Pb and As mobilization in polluted mining soil.

Due to the natural biochar aging, the improvement of soil quality and immobilization of soil pollutants achieved by biochar may change; understanding the dynamic evolution of the in situ performance of biochar in these roles is essential to discuss the long-term sustainability of biochar remediation. Therefore, in this study, combined biochar from co-pyrolysis of pig manure and invasive Japanese knotweed - P1J1, as well as pure pig manure - PM - and pure Japanese knotweed - JK - derived biochar were applied to investigate their remediation performance in a high As- and Pb-polluted soil with prolonged incubation periods (up to 360 days). Biochar application, especially P1J1 and PM, initially promoted soil pH, dissolved organic carbon, and EC, but the improvements were not constant through time.

Background: Conflicting evidence has been reported regarding the biomechanical relevance of ramp lesions (RLs) on knee kinematics. Furthermore, the influence of the defect size of the RLs on anterior tibial translation (ATT) and external rotation (ER) is currently unknown.
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of RL defect size on knee kinematics in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency and after simulated ACL reconstruction (sACLR).
