Effect of modeling liquid application on color stability and surface roughness of single-shade composites by Melek Güven Bekdaş, Ihsan Hubbezoglu

“…Among the composite control groups baseline and after the coloring procedures, the highest surface roughness degree was observed in the CDO group, while the lowest surface roughness degree was observed in the OMN and ZNC groups (p < 0.05), and the differences between them were found to be significant (p > 0.05). The surface roughness and color changes approached the mean values in the subgroups where the modeling liquid was applied, and there was no significant difference between them (p > 0.05). …”

Existence of a Unique Solution and the Hyers–Ulam-H-Fox Stability of the Conformable Fractional Differential Equation by Matrix-Valued Fuzzy Controllers by Zahra Eidinejad, Reza Saadati, Tofigh Allahviranloo, Farzad Kiani, Samad Noeiaghdam, Unai Fernandez-Gamiz

“…In this paper, we consider a conformable fractional differential equation with a constant coefficient and obtain an approximation for this equation using the Radu–Mihet method, which is derived from the alternative fixed- point theorem. Considering the matrix-valued fuzzy k-normed spaces and matrix-valued fuzzy H-Fox function as a control function, we investigate the existence of a unique solution and Hyers–Ulam-H-Fox stability for this equation. …”
