Laser Applications in Metal Orthodontic Bracket Debonding: A Systematic Review by Patryk Woś, Sylwia Kiryk, Tomasz Dyl, Jan Kiryk, Tomasz Horodniczy, Magdalena Szablińska, Magdalena Aleksandra Dubowik, Wojciech Dobrzyński, Marcin Mikulewicz, Jacek Matys, Maciej Dobrzyński

“…Conclusions: In conclusion, laser-assisted orthodontic metal bracket debonding, when conducted with appropriately calibrated parameters, is a safe method for preserving tooth tissue. However, its advantages appear to be minimal compared to conventional plier-based methods, highlighting the need for further research to justify its broader clinical application.…”

Haemoglobin revisited: delineating population structure with the world’s first molecular genetic marker used in fisheries research by Bjørghild Breistein, Geir Dahle, Torild Johansen, Per Erik Jorde, Kevin A. Glover

“…When haemoglobin genotyping was implemented in the early 1960s to investigate population genetic structure in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), it became one of the first molecular genetic markers deployed in fisheries research worldwide. However, its suitability was questioned due to its potential for selection. …”

New Bifurcation Critical Criterion of Flip-Neimark-Sacker Bifurcations for Two-Parameterized Family of n-Dimensional Discrete Systems by Shengji Yao

“…As compared with the classical critical criterion (or definition) of flip-Neimark-Sacker bifurcation stated in terms of the properties of eigenvalues, the proposed criterion is preferable in anticontrolling or detecting the existence of flip-Neimark-Sacker bifurcation in high-dimension nonlinear systems, due to its explicit parameter mechanism of the bifurcation.…”
