Enhancing Asphaltene Degradation Through the Piezocatalysis Process Using Cadmium Tin Oxides Rod-Like and Cubic-Like Ceramic Nanostructures

The study focused on achieving high rates of asphaltene degradation by controlling the morphology and composition of the cadmium tin oxide (CTO) piezocatalyst. A new, fast, and clean method for asphaltene degradation was employed using the piezo-catalytic process. The performance...

Effect of the Seed Layer on Green Synthesis ZnO Thin Film and Its Electrical Applications

This study investigated the effect of a predeposited ZnO seed layer on the thin film grown on a glass substrate by the dip‐coating technique. The deposited ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized using an entirely green method, with parsley (Petroselinum crispum) leaf extract as...

Balanced contractility and adhesion drive polarization in a minimal elastic actomyosin network

Polarization of migrating cells involves chemical and mechanical interactions of signaling networks, cytoskeleton, plasma membrane, and substrate adhesions. Still, it is not fully understood which mechanisms and components are sufficient for symmetry breaking, and if they work in...

CBCT-Based Anatomical Assessment of Lingual Bone Availability Relevant to the Mental Foramen Bypass Concept in Posterior Atrophied Mandibles

Background/Objectives: Severe posterior mandibular atrophy presents anatomical challenges for implant rehabilitation because of reduced residual bone volume and the close relationship between the mental foramen, its anatomical variations, and the surrounding alveolar bone. Among...
