Effect of CO2 laser irradiation on shear bond strength and enamel surface roughness after ceramic brackets removal: in vitro study

This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength and surface roughness of the enamel after removal of ceramic brackets with CO 2 laser. Thirty extracted premolars were randomly assigned to three groups ( n = 10): Untreated enamel (GI), Conventional debonding (GII), and CO 2 l...

Contrasting reproductive strategies and their functional consequences in two populations of Opuntia robusta (Cactaceae)

Hermaphroditism is the predominant sexual condition in angiosperms, but populations of a single species can diverge markedly in their reproductive allocation and in the expression of their mating system. Opuntia robusta provides a suitable system to examine this divergence, as it...

Food-Consumption Profiles and Context-Specific Associations Among University Students: An Exploratory Multicountry Person-Centred Clustering and CHAID Analysis

Background: University students often report suboptimal dietary practices, but overall diet-quality scores may conceal differences in food-group consumption. This study explored whether distinguishable food-consumption profiles could be identified among university students from C...

Agricultural transformation barriers in emerging and developing economies: a systematic review pre and post COVID evidence

Following the economic recovery after the pandemic, the dynamics of agricultural production and marketing have changed significantly, particularly in emerging and developing economies. This study therefore analyses the main barriers that limited the processing of agricultural pro...

Mapping Neighborhood Spatial Structure in Traditional Home Gardens Using UAV-Derived 3D Canopy Models

Understanding the spatial structure of tree communities is fundamental for evaluating ecological interactions and management dynamics in agroforestry systems. However, the structural complexity and small spatial scale of traditional agroecosystems often limit the use of conventio...
