Joint Modeling of Random Initiation Time and Thermal Damage in Rocks Using a Hybrid Variational Bayesian Approach

ABSTRACT Thermal damage significantly influences the reliability and service life of rock materials in many engineering applications, including underground structures, geothermal systems and energy storage. In practice, damage initiates internally at unknown and random times unde...

Enhancement of mechanical and antibacterial properties of glass ionomer cement using oyster shell-derived TiO2-hydroxyapatite nanorods for dental restoration application

Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is widely used in restorative dentistry due to its capability to form a chemical bond with tooth tissue and its biocompatibility. Nevertheless, its limited mechanical strength and antibacterial capabilities hinder its long-term success in dental restora...
