Experimental Study on the Improvement of the Quality of Tooth Root Surface by Vertical Cross Spindle Barreling Finishing by Nie Yong

“…The experimental results show that the roughing process can significantly reduce the tooth surface roughness at the tooth root position,and the R_a value is reduced from 0. 7 μm to about 0. 2 μm on the basis of grinding,the roughness increased by 1 to 2 level and the R_z value is from 3. 0 μm down to about 1. 0 μm,while the tooth surface processing knife marks,microscopic defects and other basic removal. Compared with the cyclotron roller finishing method,the new technology can make the gear live better tooth surface quality.…”

One Fungus = One Name: DNA and fungal nomenclature twenty years after PCR by J.W. Taylor

“…The fundamental difference in the size of fungi and plants had a role in the origin of dual nomenclature and continues to hinder the development of an ICBN that fully accommodates microscopic fungi. A nomenclatorial crisis also looms due to environmental sequencing, which suggests that most fungi will have to be named without a physical specimen. …”

Modeling the Impact of Virtual Contact Network with Community Structure on the Epidemic Spreading by Jianlin Zhou, Haiyan Liu

“…Considering that the network structure has a significant impact on network dynamics and the virtual contact networks have obvious community structures in reality, in this article, we built a multiplex network, which contains a community structure to explore the interplay of the coupled spread dynamics. We first use a microscopic Markov chain approach to characterize the coupled disease-awareness dynamics and then analyze the effect of different factors on the coevolution of information dissemination and epidemic spreading based on the Monte Carlo simulation. …”

Cell growth monitoring in a tetrapolar electrode configuration by Singh Jagbir, Khambete Niranjan D.

“…The results demonstrated an initial increase in impedance corresponding with the cell growth phase, followed by a decrease during the cell death (apoptosis) phase, as confirmed by microscope images. Overall, the results show that our method to monitor cell growth using tetrapolar electrodes is promising and can be further refined for related applications.…”
