Aeroacoustic Attenuation Performance of a Helmholtz Resonator with a Rigid Baffle Implemented in the Presence of a Grazing Flow by Di Guan, Dan Zhao, Zhaoxin Ren

“…The generation of the 12 dB transmission loss peak at 400 Hz is shown to attribute to the sound and structure interaction. Finally, varying the neck shape from the conventional one to an arc one leads to the dominant resonant frequency being increased by approximately 20% and so the secondary transmission loss peak by 2-5 dB. …”

Osteoclastogenesis markers in craniofacial bone defects after demineralized dentin material membrane implantation as guided bone regeneration by Dedy Agoes Mahendra, Anita Yuliati, Masfueh Razali, Noor Hayaty Abu Kasim, Muhammad Alwino Bayu Firdauzy, Retno Indrawati Roestamadji, Pratiwi Soesilawati

“…DDMM is used as a substitute for GBR material, which aligns with Green Economy principles, it has a good biological osteoinductive and osteoconductive effects, and its structure resembles bones. The balance of bone remodeling when experiencing craniofacial defects will be altered and allow changes to resorption activity, so the mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption are vital. …”
