Structure, Composition and Morphology of Self-Assembled 2D
Nanostructures Based on SnO2 Nanoparticles Observed in Unannealed
Mn Doped Hydrated Form of Tin Oxide (II) or (IV) Synthesized by
Co-precipitation Method
Authors: Reyes-Gonzalez Joaquin , Garcia-Gutierrez Diana , Garza-Navarro Marco , Garcia-Gutierrez Domingo 
Published: November 2022

Background:
2D nanostructures are greatly interested in different technological applications,
particularly optoelectronics. Tin oxide 2D nanostructures have shown great transparency and
ideal charge carrier transport properties.

Objective:
The current study aims to evaluate the main characteristics of 2D-nanostructures observed
during the synthesis of hydrated forms of tin oxide (II) or (IV) doped with Mn.

Methods:
A chemical co-precipitation method was used for the synthesis of the hydrated forms of tin
oxide (II) or (IV) with different conditions on time (1 and 1.5 h) and temperature (60ºC and 90ºC), using
MnCl2 as the manganese source.

Results:
X-ray diffraction and XPS results revealed the formation of the hydroromarchite phase
(Sn6O4(OH)4) as the main product of the synthesis reaction. Scanning electron microscopy images
were used to identify and measure, in a first approach, the 2D nanostructures observed as a result of
the synthesis. Morphological characterization using different transmission electron microscopy techniques
revealed the presence of nanoparticles that were observed to self-assemble to form the 2D
nanostructures observed (nanorods and nanosheets). Nonetheless, selected-area electron diffraction
suggested the presence of the cassiterite phase (SnO2) in the nanoparticles forming the 2D nanostructures.
Furthermore, chemical analyses using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy supported the observations
made by the diffraction studies regarding the presence of cassiterite phase (SnO2) in the 2D
nanostructures. The number of 2D nanostructures observed in the analyzed samples increased as the
Mn concentration increased in the synthesis reaction.

Conclusions:
The addition of Mn as an intended doping element increased the crystallite size and the
polycrystallinity of the synthesized hydrated forms of tin oxide (II) or (IV). Additionally, it also promoted
the formation of 2D nanostructures made of SnO2 nanoparticles.

Published: November 2022

This study aimed to determine the effect of the concentrations of yellow sweet potato starch and aloe vera gel on the physical, mechanical, and barrier characteristics of the edible film, which is applied as packaging for strawberries. It was carried out using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 2 stages where the first step was making edible with varied yellow sweet potato starch and aloe vera gel, followed by the application of the selected edible film. The two factors used as edible films were yellow sweet potato starch (Ipomea batatas) at 2%, 3%, and 4% w/v, as well as aloe vera gel (Aloevera barbadensis) at 5%, 10%, and 15% v/v concentrations. The formulation was applied to the strawberries to examine their ability to extend shelf life. The parameters tested in the first step were thickness, color, solubility, transparency, tensile strength, elongation, and WVTR, while weight loss, texture, and color were examined in the second stage for four days of storage. The results showed an interaction between yellow sweet potato starch and aloe vera gel on thickness with a range of 0.07-0.16 mm, L value of 66.73-73.23, a* value of 0.8-2.5, b* value of 11.1-14.4, solubility of 33.24-56.16%, transparency 2.68-3.43 A/mm, tensile strength 0.08-0.70 MPa, elongation in the range of 10.95-51.14%, and WVTR of 3.97-4.90 g/m 2 /24 hours. This showed that the application of edible coating with the best treatment can prevent a decrease in weight loss, texture andcolor intensity as well as extend the shelf life of strawberries up to two times.

SUMMARY

Aim
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether the home use of mouthwashes containing potassium salts is effective in reducing and controlling dentin hypersensitivity (DH).

Methods and Materials
This study is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021228410). Randomized clinical trials evaluating the use of mouthwashes containing potassium salt for daily household mouthwash for at least four weeks to reduce DH compared with a control mouthwash were selected, with no limitation on year of publication. Electronic research was carried out in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library by two independent researchers. One hundred thirty-three articles were obtained, and nine were selected according to the inclusion criteria.

Results
The selected studies evaluated DH through tests of sensitivity to tactile and evaporative stimuli and showed that, for the tactile stimulus, there were no baseline differences between groups (p=0.12; mean difference: −0.33; confidence intervals [CI]: −0.73 to 0.08). However, there were significant differences after two weeks of use (p=0.00001; mean difference: 4.67; CI: 4.53 to 4.81), after four weeks (p=0.00001; mean difference: 13.29; CI: 13.03 to 13.55), and after eight weeks (p=0.00001; mean difference: 8.88; CI: 5.73 to 12.02) favoring the experimental group. The results of the evaporative test showed no differences in the baseline assessment between the two groups (p=0.50; mean difference: −0.02; CI: −0.09 to 0.04), but after four weeks (p=0.00001; mean difference: −0.32; CI: −0.44 to −0.20), and eight weeks of use (p=0.00001; mean difference: −0.42; CI: −0.57 to −0.27) there were differences favoring the experimental group. The incidence of side effects showed no differences between the two groups (p=0.89; mean difference: 1.03; CI: 0.67 to 1.58).

Conclusion
The daily use of mouthwashes containing potassium salt is effective in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity, as a complementary step to brushing at least twice a day for two weeks, four weeks, and up to eight weeks, without presenting side effects.
Adhesive Class VI Resin Composite Restorations of Worn Mandibular Incisal Edges: A Two-year Case Report
Authors: Brackett MG , Wu J , Bachand WR , Brackett WW 
Published: November 2022

SUMMARY
Many authors have advocated retentive tooth preparations for resin composite restorations intended to halt progression of incisal edge attrition with worn concave dentin, probably due to frustration with adhesive restorations being lost from these defects. Unfortunately, this technique further removes the dentin these restorations are intended to preserve. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate a purely adhesive, less invasive technique for restoration of worn concave incisal edges, which includes air particle abrasion and increased etching time for the sclerotic dentin and unprepared enamel. Favorable two-year results for mandibular anterior teeth opposed by natural teeth are reported.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Silk is a distinctive and significant category of natural structural protein fiber. With a remarkable structure and versatility, silk has emerged as a topic of scientific study perennially because of its chemical, physical and biological properties. Meanwhile, in order to have an omnifaceted understanding of silk, the environmental performance of silk production is also worthy of attention. With the concern of global warming, efforts are increasingly focused on understanding and addressing carbon emission in the life cycle of silk products. However, the majority of current studies give priority to the carbon emission of either just one or a few stages of silk products’ life cycle, or to a specific type of silk product. On the basis of a review of literature on the life cycle assessment of silk products, this study presents a full-scale review of the quantification of the carbon emission and carbon neutrality of cocoon acquisition, industrial production of silk products, distribution, consumption, and recycling. The analysis revealed that the carbon sequestration by photosynthesis at the stage of cocoon acquisition could not be ignored. It is of importance to establish complete and unified system boundaries when quantifying carbon emissions in the industrial production of silk products. Reasonable models of washing times and washing modes are needed to assess carbon emissions in the domestic laundry of silk products. At the end of life phase of silk products, the positive impact on carbon emission in the phase of silk recycling is noteworthy. This study will help interested scholars, manufacturers and consumers to gain an in-depth understanding of the carbon emissions and carbon neutrality of silk products, and it is also of great value for exploring new production processes for reducing carbon emissions of silk products.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to solve the problems occurring in a clothing company’s shirt manufacturing line. For this Pareto charts and A3 reporting philosophy were used to organise the process in the best way. In line with the examinations and analyses made, an apparatus was developed to shorten the unit time and standardise the quality for the collar preparation process, which is the fault with the highest frequency. Afterward, the collar preparation process was compared according to the situation with the apparatus, manual and automat. As a result of the implementation of the Pareto charts and A3 reporting technique, it can be seen that while the total time spent on the process with the automat is 24.6 seconds, this time is 87% quicker than the apparatus developed, which is 46.2 seconds; however, it needs 95% more investment.

Abstract
This study attempted to fabricate heating fabrics using thin-film solar cells. A lightweight and flexible thin-film solar cell was used as the power supply, and fabric samples made of carbon fiber heating lines were used as heating elements. Single-factor experiments of three factors (solar cell voltage, heating time, and carbon fiber heating line arrangement) were conducted, and their influence on the heating effect was analysed. Orthogonal experiments and variance tests were used to determine the influence of the three factors and the optimal heating process. All influential factors were shown to be statistically significant. This kind of heating fabric can be used in warm clothing or for heated clothing.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Textile research is being driven to find sustainable materials as an alternative to raw fibers. In fact, reusing fibrous waste, as a byproduct, is one of the most important environmental challenges that confront the world. This research focused on studying pulled wool fibers as a natural fiber to reduce environmental loading. There are large amounts of residual pulled wool fibers that can be recycled and valorised. Therefore, raw and pulled wool fibers were characterized and compared. Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) results show that on the pulled wool fiber, the surface became rougher and the scales appear affected and less dense. Based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, the crystallinity of the pulled fiber decreased lightly. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infra Red (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy analyzes presented some changes in chemical composition. A High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) test showed an increase in the amount of cystic acids. The pulled wool fiber indicates that it might have damaged some crosslinks of macromolecular chains in the fiber. Thus, physical, chemical and mechanical properties are affected during the chemical unhairing process. This research purpose was to increase the potential for better value of pulled wool as it presents the natural fiber most used in several applications.
Study on the Multi-Directional Static Friction Properties of High Performance Yarns
Authors: Qi Yexiong , Iqbal Waqar , Jiang Yaming 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
To further optimise the bullet-proof performance of textile reinforced composites, multi-directional friction tests of aramid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarns were carried out by the slope method. The influence of the included angle between the high-performance yarns on the static friction coefficient for aramid and UHMWPE yarns was studied by measuring the friction coefficient. The relationship between the static friction coefficient and the included angle among the high-performance yarns was discussed. The results showed that the friction coefficient of aramid yarns was higher than that of UHMWPE yarns. Especially, at the same included angle between high-performance yarns, the static frictional coefficient of aramid yarns is 50% higher than that of UHMWPE yarns. In accordance with expectations, the static friction coefficient decreases with the increased included angle between high-performance yarns, and the included angle of high-performance yarns changes from 0º to 90º. The trend of rapid decline appeared when the included angle between high-performance yarns changed from 0º to 15º. For the actual result, the static friction coefficient of aramid and UHMWPE yarns is less than 0.3, which needs to be improved to increase the bullet-proof performance of textile composites.
Some Inequalities Involving Interpolations Between Arithmetic and Geometric Mean
Authors: Zuo Hongliang , Li Yuwei 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this article, we mainly study the interpolations between arithmetic mean and geometric mean—power mean, Heron mean and Heinz mean. First, we obtain the improvement and reverse improvement of arithmetic-power mean inequalities by the convexity of the function. We show that the proof of Heron mean inequality due to Yang and Ren: [Some results of Heron mean and Young’s inequalities, J. Inequal. Appl. 2018 (2018), paper no, 172], is not substantial. In addition, we also obtain Heron-Heinz mean inequalities for t ∈ ℝ. Further corresponding operator versions and generalizations are also established.
