Alveolar bone changes following bi-maxillary vertical molars' movements using clear aligners by Al-Warafi, Leena Ali

“…Result The patients were divided into two groups: extrusion (48.9%, n = 65 molars’ root) and intrusion (51.1%, n = 68 molars’ root) group. There was a significant decrease in the alveolar bone changes in the buccal surface of the mandibular right and left 1st molars in the extrusion group (-1.05 ± 0.97, -0.76 ± 1.12 mm, respectively) and the maxillary left 2nd molars in intrusion group (-0.42 ± 0.77 mm), and the lingual surface of intrusion of the mandibular left 1st molar (-0.64 ± 0.76 mm). …”

Hydrogen Production via Ethanol Decomposition over Bimetallic Catalyst by Ashok, Anchu

“…Ethanol decomposition over bimetallic CuCo were conducted using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) study under N2 flow at different temperatures (50, 100, 200, 300, 400°C). Temperature-time profile of CuCo shows an increase in combustion temperature with increase in fuel ratio with maximum temperature at φ = 1 (stoichiometric ratio) and after that it decreases. …”

Spatio-temporal variation in potential habitats for rare and endangered plants and habitat conservation based on the maximum entropy model by Zongbao, Yang

“…Gap analysis showed that only 35.85% of habitat hotspots are currently included in existing PAs and that this will decrease to 32.26% by 2050. This emphasizes the importance of protecting current and future potential habitats of REPs in a dynamic conservation approach that can adapt to changes in future climate and human activities.…”
