Mitochondria are intracellular organelles that act as powerhouses by breaking down nutrition molecules to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as cellular fuel. They have their own genetic material called mitochondrial DNA. Alterations in mitochondri...
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a crucial tool for studying microstructures of ceramic materials. However, the current practice heavily relies on manual efforts to extract porosity from SEM images. To address this issue, we propose PSTNet (Pyra...

OBJECTIVES: The polymer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is gradually being used in dental restorations because of its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, thermal stability, radiation translucency and good biocompatib...
The weathering time of empty puparia could be important in predicting the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin). As corpse decomposition progresses to the skeletal stage, empty puparia often remain the sole evidence of fly activity at the scene. In th...

This study explores nitrate reduction in aqueous solutions using carboxymethyl cellulose loaded with zero-valent iron nanoparticles (Fe-CMC). The structures of this nano-composite were characterized using various techniques. Based on the characteriza...
OBJECTIVES: An ex-vivo study was aimed at (i) programming clinically validated robot three-year random toothbrushing, (ii) evaluating cervical macro- and microwear patterns on all tooth groups of different functional age, (iii) documenting and codifi...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are the most widely used tool for evaluating particle morphology; however, quantitative evaluation using SEM images is time-consuming and often neglected. In this study, we aimed to extract features related t...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop a tool for virtual orthodontic bracket removal based on deep learning algorithms for feature extraction from bonded teeth and to demonstrate its application in a bracket position assessment scenario.
Managing the worldwide steady increase in the production of plastic while mitigating the Earth's global pollution is one of the greatest challenges nowadays. Fungi are often involved in biodegradation processes thanks to their ability to penetrate in...
