TL;DR: Dynamic mechanical properties were most closely correlated to degree of conversion in these polymeric systems, suggesting that these resins may be more unstable at oral temperatures than more highly converted resins.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to determine the effects of resin formulation variables, such as diluent concentration, catalyst type and concentration and cure mode, on the degree of conversion of carbon double bonds and mechanical properties of dental restorative resins. Diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, flexural modulus and strength, and dynamic mechanical properties were tested, and the results were correlated to the degree of conversion results obtained by infrared analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between increased mechanical properties and higher degrees of conversion. Enhanced conversions were achieved by incorporating higher diluent and lower inhibitor concentrations into the resins. Ambient temperature properties were similarly enhanced by lower inhibitor concentrations, but were not enhanced by higher diluent concentration. Dynamic mechanical properties testing at oral and elevated temperatures elucidated possible differences in resin microstructure and network quality. The storage moduli decreased over the dental temperature range and was lower at all temperatures for resins with lower conversions. The glass transition temperature was also lower in resins with poorer conversions, suggesting that these resins may be more unstable at oral temperatures than more highly converted resins. Dynamic mechanical properties were most closely correlated to degree of conversion in these polymeric systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the energy loss of slow projectiles during inelastic collisions on the inner-shell ionization cross sections is treated analytically, and the result agrees with available experimental cross sections for $K$-shell Ionization by protons.
Abstract: The influence of the energy loss of slow projectiles during inelastic collisions on the inner-shell ionization cross sections is treated analytically. The result agrees with available experimental cross sections for $K$-shell ionization by protons. Residual trends in the data may gauge the quality of wave functions employed in calculations of Coulomb ionization cross sections.

TL;DR: It is found that cryptic prophages contribute significantly to resistance to sub-lethal concentrations of quinolone and β-lactam antibiotics primarily through proteins that inhibit cell division (for example, KilR of rac and DicB of Qin).
Abstract: Phages are the most abundant entity in the biosphere and outnumber bacteria by a factor of 10. Phage DNA may also constitute 20% of bacterial genomes; however, its role is ill defined. Here, we explore the impact of cryptic prophages on cell physiology by precisely deleting all nine prophage elements (166 kbp) using Escherichia coli. We find that cryptic prophages contribute significantly to resistance to sub-lethal concentrations of quinolone and β-lactam antibiotics primarily through proteins that inhibit cell division (for example, KilR of rac and DicB of Qin). Moreover, the prophages are beneficial for withstanding osmotic, oxidative and acid stresses, for increasing growth, and for influencing biofilm formation. Prophage CPS-53 proteins YfdK, YfdO and YfdS enhanced resistance to oxidative stress, prophages e14, CPS-53 and CP4-57 increased resistance to acid, and e14 and rac proteins increased early biofilm formation. Therefore, cryptic prophages provide multiple benefits to the host for surviving adverse environmental conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed constitutive equations for porous ductile solids based on homogenization theory and developed the most widely known model for spherical and cylindrical voids.
Abstract: Publisher Summary An important failure mechanism in ductile metals and their alloys is by growth and coalescence of microscopic voids. In structural materials, the voids nucleate at inclusions and second-phase particles by decohesion of the particle–matrix interface or by particle cracking. Void growth is driven by plastic deformation of the surrounding matrix. Early micromechanical treatments of this phenomenon considered the growth of isolated voids. Later, constitutive equations for porous ductile solids were developed based on homogenization theory. Among these, the most widely known model was developed by Gurson for spherical and cylindrical voids.
