Preventing the development and recurrence of periodontal diseases often includes antimicrobial mouthrinses to control the growth of the periodontal pathogens. Most antimicrobials are nonselective, targeting the symbiotic oral species as well as the dysbiosis-inducing ones. This affects the overall microbial composition and metabolic activity and co...

Nonaqueous sol-gel syntheses have been used to make many types of metal oxide nanocrystals. According to the current paradigm, nonaqueous syntheses have slow kinetics, thus favoring the thermodynamic (crystalline) product. Here we investigate the synthesis of hafnium (and zirconium) oxide nanocrystals from the metal chloride in benzyl alcohol. We f...
Background Elevated tumor tissue interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is an adverse biomechanical biomarker that predicts poor therapy response and an aggressive phenotype. Advances in functional imaging have opened the prospect of measuring IFP non-invasively. Image-based estimation of the IFP requires knowledge of the tissue hydraulic conductivity (...
Transition metal phosphates are promising catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline medium. Herein, Fe-doped Ni phosphates are deposited using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) at 300 degrees C. A sequence of f Fe phosphate PE-ALD cycles and n Ni phosphate PE-ALD cycles is repeated x times. The Fe to Ni ratio can ...
The composition of sediment fluxes caused by erosion can vary greatly both spatially and temporally, causing different impacts on water bodies. The erosion process is mainly driven by soil and rainfall characteristics as well as land use. The aim of this research is to evaluate the combined effect of these factors in a mountain agroforestry system,...
The most efficient approach to the synthesis of multi-directional ocean waves is the so-called Fourier approach, based on a spectral description of waves in wavenumber space. According to this approach, 2D wavenumber spectra are transformed into spatial wave quantities by means of 2D Inverse Discrete Fourier Transforms. The Fourier approach is well...
Highly stable hydrophobic silica-based membranes were successfully fabricated through chemical post-modification of directly electrospun silica nanofibrous membranes. Five different Si-alkoxy chlorides were tried as reagents at room temperature, allowing for an easy two-step production process. Trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) was determined as to be t...
