Synergistic enhancement of hydrophobic dental adhesives: autonomous strengthening, polymerization kinetics, and hydrolytic resistance by Burak Korkmaz, Erhan Demirel, Qiang Ye, Qiang Ye, Anil Misra, Anil Misra, Candan Tamerler, Candan Tamerler, Candan Tamerler, Paulette Spencer, Paulette Spencer, Paulette Spencer

“…The leading cause of composite restoration failure is recurrent marginal decay. The margin between the composite and tooth is initially sealed by a low-viscosity adhesive, but chemical, physical, and mechanical stresses work synergistically and simultaneously to degrade the adhesive, destroying the interfacial seal and providing an ideal environment for bacteria to proliferate. …”

Sulfosalts and Sulfates in the Epithermal Au-Ag-Te Emmy Deposit (Khabarovsk Territory, Far East of Russia): Implications for the Mineralization Process by Tamara Yu. Yakich, Panagiotis Voudouris, Darya V. Levochskaia, Alexey K. Mazurov, Mikhail V. Shaldybin, Yuriy M. Lopushnyak, Alexey S. Ruban, Evan Dasi, Prokopiy N. Maximov, Ekaterina A. Sinkina, Ksenia V. Bestemianova, Maxim A. Rudmin

“…The leached zone between the core and rim of the APS grains is related to a change in crystallization conditions, possibly due to the mixing processes of the fluids with meteoric water. Barite, found in the upper level of the advanced argillic hypogene alteration assemblage, is also characterized by oscillatory zoning, associated with the enrichment of individual zones in lead. …”

Study of the impact of drought on the runoff system and the dam on Oued Za using romote sensing techniques (Eastern Morocco) by Karboub Abdelaziz, Ghzal Mohammed, Sbai Abdelkader, Mouadili Omar

“…This phenomenon has an obvious impact, particularly in semi-arid areas, which suffer from scarcity of water resources and low precipitation rates. In turn, the Oued El Hay basin (northern margins of the highlands) is characterized by aridity resulting from its difficult climatic conditions, since climatic elements have an important and decisive role in the periodic and more severe occurrence of droughts, due to their seasonal variations throughout the year. …”

Regional Groundwater Quality Management through Hydrogeological Modeling in LCC, West Faisalabad, Pakistan by Aamir Shakoor, Zahid Mahmood Khan, Muhammad Arshad, Hafiz Umar Farid, Muhammad Sultan, Muhammad Azmat, Muhammad Adnan Shahid, Zafar Hussain

“…After the successful calibration and validation, two pumping scenarios were developed up to year 2030: Scenario I (increase in pumping rate according to the historical trend) and Scenario II (adjusted canal water supplies and groundwater patterns). The predicted results of Scenario I revealed that, up to year 2030, the area under good quality groundwater reduced significantly from 50.35 to 28.95%, while marginal and hazardous groundwater quality area increased from 49.65 to 71.06%. …”
