Investigating the influence of Australia Day and Christmas Day on water demand in the Greater Sydney region
Authors: Ghannam Safa , Hussain Farookh 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

The objective of this research is to investigate whether particular occasions, such as Australia Day and Christmas Day, have a notable impact on water demand in the Greater Sydney region. By examining water demand during these events, the study aims to enhance understanding of water consumption patterns and contribute to the development of effective demand management strategies. Multivariate time series data from several water plants in the Greater Sydney region were analyzed using three methods: correlation heatmaps, t-tests, and descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that neither Australia Day nor Christmas Day has a significant impact on water demand at different water plants in the Greater Sydney region. These results suggest that public holidays may not need to be a critical factor in short-term water demand forecasting models for this area.

Accuracy of Color Determination by Intraoral Scanners in Bleached and Unbleached Teeth: A Clinical Study
Authors: Kaya BD , Atali P Yilmaz , Kahramanoĝlu E , Tarçin B 
Published: September 2024

SUMMARY

Purpose:
This clinical study aimed to evaluate the color measurement ability of intraoral scanners (Trios 3, (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Cerec Omnicam, (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA) in comparison to VITA Classical and VITA 3D-Master shades obtained by a spectrophotometer (Easyshade V, VITA, Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany).

Methods:
Four hundred eighty teeth from thirty patients were included in the study. Fifteen patients had never undergone bleaching, and the other fifteen had undergone professional bleaching within the last 6 months. VITA Classical and VITA 3D Master shades were determined using Trios 3 (T3), Cerec Omnicam (CO), and EasyShade V from cervical, middle, and incisal/occlusal areas of maxillary and mandibular central and lateral incisors, canines, and first premolars. Color accuracy rates (cAR) were assessed by categorizing the color data according to the Munsell color system for bleached and unbleached teeth, maxillary and mandibular, and teeth arranged from anterior to posterior in each quadrant. McNemar, Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon tests and Point Biserial Correlation Analysis were used for statistical analysis (significance level α=0.050).

Results:
The bleached teeth had a significantly higher cAR for T3 in VITA 3D Master and VITA Classical guides (p&lt;0.05). The cAR of the incisal area in VITA 3D Master was significantly lower in both scanners (p&lt;0.05) except for the lightness/hue/chroma of bleached teeth. T3 cAR increased statistically significantly from anterior to posterior (p&lt;0.001); however, no significant difference was found for CO (p=0.482).

Conclusion:
The color accuracy rates of both scanners for shade guides that included all color components in this study were below 30%, which was not clinically satisfactory for color measurement. Confirming the measurements with a spectrophotometer is recommended.
Optimal Hydrofluoric Acid Etching Duration and Impact of Silane/Adhesive on Profilometric Properties and Bonding to Lithium Disilicate Glass Ceramics
Authors: Porto TS , Faddoul AJ , Park SJ , Feitosa VP , Eyüboğlu TF , Ozcan M 
Published: September 2024

SUMMARY

Objectives:
This study aimed to assess the surface roughness, surface free energy (SFE), and shear bond strength (SBS) on a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic surface following varying etching protocols (time variation) and application of silane either with or without adhesive material.

Methods and Materials:
Lithium disilicate glassceramic (LDGC) computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) blocks were cut using a slow-speed cutting mechanism. CAD/CAM blocks were then evaluated for surface roughness, 6 groups (n=20); SFE,12 groups (n=5); and SBS, 10 groups (n=10). The cut CAD/CAM blocks were randomly allocated to 28 groups. Groups were based on the following: 30 or 90 seconds of etching with 9% hydrofluoric acid (HF); application or absence of silane coupling agent (Sil); and application or absence of adhesive (Adh).
The control group (Cont) had untreated surfaces. Unetched surfaces were surveyed with only silane (Sil), only adhesive (Adh), or silane+adhesive (SilAdh). Further etched groups were HF30 with HF for 30 seconds, HF30-Sil, HF30-Adh, and HF30-SilAdh. Alternative 90-second etching times produced similar groups: HF90, HF90-Sil, HF90-Adh, and HF90-SilAdh. A digital profilometer was used to assess the surface roughness of specimens, and two readings were recorded. Sessile drop analysis was used to examine SFE specimens, and the OWRK model was modified to measure liquid surface tension. A universal testing machine (UltraTester, Ultradent Products, Inc, South Jordan, UT, USA) was utilized for the SBS test, with the crosshead speed set at 0.5 mm/min until failure. Representative treated specimens from each group were submitted to surface morphological evaluation and chemical analysis using scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDXS) (n=3). After data collection, evaluation using one- or two-way analysis of variance and the post-hoc Tukey test (α=5%) was conducted.

Results:
A longer etching time of 90 seconds produced a rougher surface. After the 90-second etching process, SFE displayed the greatest values; nevertheless, the use of silane did not affect SFE. For every group examined, the application of silane followed by adhesive resulted in an increase in SBS and more stable bonding over time. SEM/EDXS showed that etching times did affect the amount of cerium on the surface and altered surface morphology.

Conclusions:
Higher and more consistent bond strengths have been observed with longer etching periods. Silane and adhesive application on the ceramic surface showed stronger and enhanced bond strength, specifically when longer etching times were employed.

Published: September 2024

This study assessed the impact of information media on information needs and seeking behavior of tricycle riders in Osubi Axis, Delta State, Nigeria. It employed the use of descriptive survey design. The total population for this study is 87 comprising the commercial tricycle riders in Osubi Axis. The entire 87 commercial tricycle riders were selected using the total enumeration sampling technique due to the small size of the population A questionnaire was used to elicit data from the respondents, and simple percentage and frequency counts used to analyze data generated. The findings reveal that the major information sought by tricycle riders in Osubi Axis include information about more lucrative and safe routes; spare parts and repairs and, traffic regulations using majorly phones, radio, and social media. They also sought information to avoid harassment from policemen, keep abreast with lucrative routes/opportunities, be conversant with traffic situations and road safety practices. Through the use of information media, tricycle riders get authentic and cheaper mechanical parts, keeping abreast with current information among others. The study identifies inadequate knowledge of computers/internet, inability to access newspapers/magazines as major challenges encountered by tricycle riders in the course of using different information media in meeting their information needs. It is imperative that tricycle riders make use of the different information media available to keep them abreast with the necessary information needed to function effectively in their business, and keep them out of trouble with the authorities. This study, therefore, recommends that government should collaborate with tricycle riders' associations to provide them with timely and accurate information on government policies, traffic regulations, and road safety practices.
Leveraging Specialized Resources to Develop Innovative Library Services
Authors: Zhou Jia 
Published: September 2024

Theme libraries have emerged as a new service model to meet the demand from the public for a diverse service with resources that are both inclusive and specialized. The "a library within a library" is currently the main practice model of theme libraries. Influenced by that concept, the recently constructed and opened Suzhou Second Library includes a number of theme libraries, such as “Suzhou Literature Library," "Music Library," and "Design Library." The establishment of these theme libraries within the Suzhou Second Library allows the library to build special community-focused collections that are culturally rich, to collaborate with local cultural organizations to create quality public programs that highlight the collections, and to actively engage the public with special events and exhibits surrounded by multimedia, digital special effects. These programmatic efforts have greatly improved public’s awareness of the valuable resources held at the library and thus increased the effectiveness of this new service model.
Financial Performance Mediates the Effect of Sustainability Reporting on Firm Value
Authors: Arif Nariswari Putri , Handayani Nur 
Published: September 2024

This study analyzes the effect of economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainability reporting on firm value, with financial performance as a mediating variable. A sample of 20 companies from the basic materials and energy sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022 was analyzed. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the relationships among the variables, complemented by Sobel tests, to examine the intervening variable's mediating role and address the research gap. The findings reveal that environmental and social aspects positively and significantly impact a firm’s financial performance, unlike the economic aspect. Interestingly, the economic aspect negatively influences firm value, while the environmental aspect demonstrates a significantly positive effect, and the social aspect has no effect. Financial performance has a positive influence on firm value. Furthermore, the study finds that financial performance mediates the relationship between environmental and social aspects of sustainability reporting and firm value, not economic. These results highlight the crucial role of sustainability reporting in enhancing financial performance and ultimately creating long-term value for firms, particularly its environmental and social dimensions. The study emphasizes the need for companies to prioritize these aspects when crafting their sustainability reports to attract investors and achieve sustainable growth.
Stern, Gamow, and the Shabbat Elevator Effect
Authors: Georgiou Loukas 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In addition to being known for their other work, physicists George Gamow and Marvin Stern also published an analysis of an intriguing problem regarding their perception that although both worked on different floors, it seemed that the first elevator to arrive on their respective floors was traveling in the opposite direction of their destination. In this manuscript, a fictitious conversation occurs between the two in regards to the probability of the elevator stopping on every floor (which they term the Shabbat Effect). One claims that it is the number of elevator occupants that predominates whereas the other claims it is the number of floors in the building that predominates in giving rise to this effect. Equations for estimating the probability of the Shabbat Effect are developed and analyzed. The resulting equations show that the relationship between the number of elevator occupants and floors is surprisingly complicated. Consequently, no general rule can be given for whether the probability of the Shabbat Effect increases or decreases for an arbitrary change in the number of occupants and floors. However, it discovered that for similar changes in the number of occupants and floors, it is the number of floors that predominates in determining the probability of the elevator stopping on every floor.
