Dark Atoms and the Positron-Annihilation-Line Excess in the Galactic Bulge by J.-R. Cudell, M. Yu. Khlopov, Q. Wallemacq

“…This explanation assumes that OHe, excited to a 2s state through collisions in the central part of the Galaxy, deexcites to its ground state via an E0 transition, emitting an electron-positron pair. The cross-section for OHe collisions with excitation to 2s level is calculated and it is shown that the rate of such excitations in the galactic bulge strongly depends not only on the mass of O-helium, which is determined by the mass of O--, but also on the density and velocity distribution of dark matter. …”

THE EFFECT OF ACID ETCHING TREATMENT ON SURFACE PROPERTIES OF DENTAL HARD TISSUE by Maria Iancu, Norina Forna, Aurora Antoniac, Marius Manole, Octavian Trante, Paltanea Veronica, Doriana Forna, Gabriela Cioca, Nicolcescu Pantelie

“…As investigation methods, the surface roughness was determined based on atomic force microscopy (AFM), and we analyzed the surface morphology in detail using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then, we analyzed the hydrophile character of the dental structure by experimentally measuring the contact angle (CA) and computed the surface energy (SFE). …”
