Customized modular multi-material mouthguard and method of making the same

Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Martin Broome

There is described a mouthguard comprising an externally exposed impact protective region defined by a first material property and configured to cover a front tooth, an internally exposed occlusional cushioning region defined by a second material property ...

Evidence of a transient phase during the hydrolysis of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite

Jacques Lemaître

In the present paper, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def OHAP) has been examined in a transmission electron microscope. During the observation, the initial Ca-def OHAP was seen to transform first into a transient intermediate phase, then to a final, ...

WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2022

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...

Predicting damage in aggregates due to the volume increase of the alkali-silica reaction products

Jean-François Molinari, Barbara Lothenbach, Emil Gallyamov

Volume increase between the reactants and the products of alkali silica reaction could reach up to 100%. Taking place inside the aggregates, ASR imposes internal pressure on the surrounding material. In the current paper, we study the possibility of crack ...

Dissipative-coupling-assisted laser cooling: Limitations and perspectives

Alexander Tagantsev

The recently identified possibility of ground-state cooling of a mechanical oscillator in the unresolved sideband regime by combination of the dissipative and dispersive optomechanical coupling under the red sideband excitation [Phys. Rev. A 88, 023850 (20 ...

Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic condition worldwide. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce the need for invasive procedures. Recently, near-infrared transillumination (TI) imaging has been shown to be effective ...

2019

Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting tissues. We engineer a multifunctional periodontal membrane for the guided tissue regeneration of lost periodontal tissues. The major drawback of current periodontal membr ...

Propagation of peeling in finite adhesive pads

Ismail Honsali

Adhesive pads are commonly used in both natural and engineering systems. A recent study [Cohen et al. Soft Matter 2018] has shown that the failure of finite pads, subjected to loading parallel to the substrate, can be triggered by different mechanisms; int ...

Excitonic Emission of Monolayer Semiconductors Near-Field Coupled to High-Q Microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Clément Christian Javerzac-Galy, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Sina Khorasani, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio, Anshuman Kumar

We present quantum yield measurements of single layer WSe2 (1L-WSe2) integrated with high-Q (Q > 106) optical microdisk cavities, using an efficient (η > 90%) near-field coupling scheme based on a tapered optical fiber. Coupling of the excitonic emission i ...

Effect of pool confinement on pressures around a block impacted by plunging aerated jets

Anton Schleiss, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The erosion caused by jets issued from hydraulic structures progressively develops a confined scour-hole on the riverbed. A realistic scour assessment must consider both the influence of the air entrained when the jet plunges into the pool and the flow pat ...
