Abstract
Dental implant can be defined as the process of inserting an artificial tooth in the place of the natural tooth. This artificial tooth consists of a) an abutment b) Custom made crown and (c) Implant. Dental implants are of two major types Endosteal and Subperiosteal Implant, endosteal is more widely used and nowadays Subperiosteal is very rare. Apart from types, it also has variety of materials usage. The widely used materials are titanium and zirconia. Both titanium and zirconium have lots of disadvantages, to overcome those we can use PEEK that is polyether-ether-ketone. PEEK has many advantages like Flexibility, Radiolucency, Aesthetic features, Thermal resistance, Cost-Efficient and its Biocompatibility. One of main factor responsible for selection of dental implant material is Osseointegration. This all advantages make us see PEEK as a reliable alternative to the present materials that is titanium and zirconia. PEEK also has long life and it is insoluble having low moisture absorption, low density (1.32 g/cm3), and low elastic modulus. This study shows mechanical analysis of PEEK abutments.

Abstract
The material stainless steel (AISI 309) is extensively used in almost all types of thermal power plant, petroleum industries, waste treatment industries etc. The material AISI 309 stainless steel is used as sample which is prepared by wire cut EDM process. The sample dimension is tested according to the ASTM standard. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is used to improve mechanical properties and to reduce the manufacturing costs, by the taguchi`s experimental design method which is used for optimization. The three different welding process parameters such as GFR, WS and WC have opted to perform the tests using L9 orthogonal array. The tensile strength and bending strength test are conducted to check the final weld quality. The maximization of ultimate tensile strength, impact strength and bending strength of weld joints results has obtained by input parameters such as welding current 170amp, welding speed 2 mm/sec and gas flow rate 15 lit/min. It is observed that current and welding speed influence to maximize mechanical properties of weld joints.

Abstract
The natural fibers (jute, bamboo, banana etc.) has high strength to weight ratios, inexpensiveness, low densities, good mechanical properties, environment friendly, ease of manufacturing and availability due to this properties natural fibers are now days vitally popular. Jute fibers have good mechanical properties. The interfacial strength (23.6%) and tensile strength (96%) of the coated jute fibers increases more than untreated jute fibers. The morphologies of treated and untreated jute fibers surface are display very different in the analysis of SEM. Which jute fibers are untreated that smooth and it contains hemicellulose, lignin and pectin and they are covered with lots of lump materials. Which are removed after functionalization of the jute fibers in the presence of NaOH. This work presented the improvement of the epoxy based composite with the functionalized jute fibers as filler used for increased the mechanical (tensile, flexural strength) properties of the composites. The flexural strength of the prepared composites increases from 259.9MPa to 325.5MPa and the flexural modulus increases from 16.7GPa to 21.5GPa in the prepared composites by using functionalized jute fibers in the comparison of untreated jute fibers composites. These jute fibers based composites very useful for the environment so it can reduce the synthetic fibers based composites.
In-situ EBSD study of 409 L ferritic stainless steel during tensile testing
Authors: Chen Jichang , Wang Junan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Two ferritic stainless steel (FSS) specimens, denoted as loading axis along the rolling direction(LR) and the transverse direction(LT) respectively, were produced to elucidate the mechanical anisotropyof409L FSS at grain scale. This approach was realized by the combination of in situ tensile test and field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) at room temperature. Microstructure evolution, grain orientation rotation, and crystallographic slip were investigated in the tensile test. During tensile deformation, the tensile axis of LR specimens rotated towards the 〈101〉 direction, which is the stable end orientation of body-centered cubic (BCC) metals. However, the rotation of tensile axis towards 〈101〉 was restrained in LT specimens due to the operation of less favorable slip systems. {110}〈111〉 was the most favorable slip system in both specimens. The mechanical anisotropy in grain scale is due to different slip behaviors of LR and LT specimens.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Nickel-based microparts possess a short lifetime owing to their rapid dissolution in corrosive environments. To mitigate this phenomenon, composite microparts of graphene/Ni were prepared using UV-LIGA technology; their corrosion behavior was examined in acid, alkali, and salt solutions as well as after subjecting them to heat-treatment processes. The microstructures were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Corrosion resistances were characterized through various electrochemical tests and compared with those of pure Ni microparts. The results demonstrate that the surface oxidation layer (i.e.,the protective layer) of the microparts was readily destroyed in NaCl and H2SO4 solutions without the formation of a passivation film; however, a passivation film was formed in the NaOH solution. The corrosion rates of graphene/Ni in NaCl, NaOH, and H2SO4 corrosion solutions were reduced by 73%, 22%, and 84%, respectively, relative to those of pure Ni microparts. This can be primarily attributed to the homogeneous dispersion of graphene in the Ni matrix, which refined the grain size, and the impermeability and chemical stability of graphene, which lengthened the diffusion path of the corrosive medium. In addition, heat treatment of the graphene/Ni microparts at 200 °C increased the corrosion resistance by a factor of nearly one with little change in microhardness, which can be attributed to the removal of internal stress and the increased proportion of CSL grain boundares. Corrosion occurred at the interface between nickel and graphene, lengthening the corrosion path.

Abstract
The printing of an efficient thermistor temperature sensor by using self-doped conducting polymers has been achieved. The use of a water-soluble polymer as the active material allows printing and processing in green solvents. The sensor showed a good sensitivity to temperature variations, with a temperature coefficient of resistance of −1.3%. The sensor also exhibited a better stability and reversibility towards humidity compared to the state-of-the-art poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS).

Abstract
To understand the anisotropy dependence of the damage evolution and material removal during the machining process of MgF2 single crystals, nanoscratch tests of MgF2 single crystals with different crystal planes and directions were systematically performed, and surface morphologies of the scratched grooves under different conditions were analyzed. The experimental results indicated that anisotropy considerably affected the damage evolution in the machining process of MgF2 single crystals. A stress field model induced by the scratch was developed by considering the anisotropy, which indicated that during the loading process, median cracks induced by the tensile stress initiated and propagated at the front of the indenter. Lateral cracks induced by tensile stress initiated and propagated on the subsurface during the unloading process. In addition, surface radial cracks induced by the tensile stress were easily generated during the unloading process. The stress change led to the deflection of the propagation direction of lateral cracks. Therefore, the lateral cracks propagated to the workpiece surface, resulting in brittle removal in the form of chunk chips. The plastic deformation parameter indicated that the more the slip systems were activated, the more easily the plastic deformation occurred. The cleavage fracture parameter indicated that the cracks propagated along the activated cleavage planes, and the brittle chunk removal was owing to the subsurface cleavage cracks propagating to the crystal surface. Under the same processing parameters, the scratch of the (001) crystal plane along the [100] crystal-orientation was found to be the most conducive to achieving plastic machining of MgF2 single crystals. The theoretical results agreed well with the experimental results, which will not only enhance the understanding of the anisotropy dependence of the damage evolution and removal process during the machining of MgF2 crystals, but also provide a theoretical foundation for achieving the high-efficiency and low-damage processing of anisotropic single crystals.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

167Er3+ doped solids are a promising platform for quantum technology due to erbium’s telecom C-band optical transition and its long hyperfine coherence times. We experimentally study the spin Hamiltonian and dynamics of 167Er3+ spins in Y2O3 using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The anisotropic electron Zeeman, hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole matrices are fitted using data obtained by X-band (9.5 GHz) EPR spectroscopy. We perform pulsed EPR spectroscopy to measure spin relaxation time T
1 and coherence time T
2 for the 3 principal axes of an anisotropic g tensor. Long electronic spin coherence time up to 24.4 μs is measured for lowest g transition at 4 K, exceeding previously reported values at much lower temperatures. Measurements of decoherence mechanism indicates T
2 limited by spectral diffusion and instantaneous diffusion. Long spin coherence times, along with a strong anisotropic hyperfine interaction makes 167Er3+:Y2O3 a rich system and an excellent candidate for spin-based quantum technologies.
Introducing Environmental Research: Health—a new journal devoted to addressing important global challenges at the interface of the environment and public health
Authors: Bell Michelle L 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Environmental Research: Health is a new open access, interdisciplinary journal devoted to addressing important global challenges at the interface of the environment and health in ways that bridge scientific progress and assessment with efforts relating to impact and future risks, resilience, mitigation, adaptation, security and solutions in the broadest sense. While progress has been made in many areas of environmental health, many problems remain and are in fact rising, with increasing threats from climate change and growing disparities in the health burdens of environmental conditions. Although many disciplinary and some broader journals exist, Environmental Research: Health functions at the intersection of science and solutions, which necessitates contributions from multiple disciplines, often working collaboratively, to provide science to better inform decisions from the local to global levels. The journal welcomes contributions from all research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative, experimental, theoretical and applied approaches, including work on exposure assessment, implementation studies, policy analysis, and health assessment. Through open access, all science published in the journal will be made available free of charge to everyone. The inaugural Editorial Board spans experts from many fields including medicine, epidemiology, architecture, environmental engineering, statistics, and more. Environmental Research: Health aims to facilitate high caliber scientific evidence on how environmental conditions can harm or improve health to allow decision-makers from community groups to national and international leaders to make the best choices to improve health and the environment.

Published: November 2022

AbstractMotivationThe cellular system of a living organism is composed of interacting bio-molecules that control cellular processes at multiple levels. Their correspondences are represented by tightly regulated molecular networks. The increase of omics technologies has favored the generation of large-scale disparate data and the consequent demand for simultaneously using molecular and functional interaction networks: gene co-expression, protein–protein interaction (PPI), genetic interaction and metabolic networks. They are rich sources of information at different molecular levels, and their effective integration is essential to understand cell functioning and their building blocks (proteins). Therefore, it is necessary to obtain informative representations of proteins and their proximity, that are not fully captured by features extracted directly from a single informational level. We propose BraneMF, a novel random walk-based matrix factorization method for learning node representation in a multilayer network, with application to omics data integration.ResultsWe test BraneMF with PPI networks of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a well-studied yeast model organism. We demonstrate the applicability of the learned features for essential multi-omics inference tasks: clustering, function and PPI prediction. We compare it to the state-of-the-art integration methods for multilayer networks. BraneMF outperforms baseline methods by achieving high prediction scores for a variety of downstream tasks. The robustness of results is assessed by an extensive parameter sensitivity analysis.Availability and implementationBraneMF’s code is freely available at: https://github.com/Surabhivj/BraneMF, along with datasets, embeddings and result files.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
O070 Can the compass trial recommendations be implemented following symptomatic carotid endarterectomy (CEA)?
Authors: Marzouqa N. , Weerakkody RA , Kythreotou A. , Baker DM 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Introduction
The paradigm changing COMPASS trial (1) demonstrated that in stable atherosclerotic disease, low-dose Rivaroxaban and Aspirin has a significantly greater protective effect on subsequent cardiovascular events (death, stroke or myocardial infarct) than antiplatelet medication alone. This included carotid endarterectomy patients. We assessed our success at implementing COMPASS in our symptomatic CEA patients

Methods
At the four-week virtual post-CEA review, in suitable patients the general practitioner was advised to change from single antiplatelet to COMPASS regimen. At 6-month follow-up the success and safety of the conversion was assessed.

Results
For 18 months up to February 2021, 47 patients underwent successful CEA. 29 were recommended for COMPASS, 3 were lost to follow up and 15 were not suitable (6 on DOAC for AF/VTE, 9 complex drug regimen). At 6 months 18 of 29 patients were on the COMPASS regimen (9 not started; 2 withdrawn due to bruising). All patients reported compliance to the regimen. There were no reported haemorrhagic events. 1 patient (not in the COMPASS group) had further multi-territory cerebrovascular events.

Conclusion
COMPASS is well tolerated in this cohort. Conversion from established drug regimens has yet to gain traction. The benefits on future cardiovascular events post-CEA is yet to be determined.

Take-home message
Changing post-op medications after a carotid endarterectomy can reduce the later risk of Cardiovascular events. We demonstrate it is possible to successfully do this, but should aim for a higher rate of uptake.

EP-68 A Case of Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum due to Marijuana usage- A rare cause
Authors: Loganathan Santhosh , Gungadin Pallavi , Ichim Petre 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Pneumomediastinum without trauma or clear secondary cause is called Spontaneous pneumomediastinum with an incidence between 0.001%-0.014% and most commonly seen in young males. Marijuana smoking has rarely been identified as a possible cause of spontaneous pneumomediastinum, which is likely caused by barotrauma during breathing manoeuvres. Fewer than 10 case reports have been reported in the literature on Marijuana causing Spontaneous pneumomediastinum.
We present a 24year male who presented with dysphagia, swelling and crackling under the skin of his neck for the past 12hours, half an hour after blowing his nose. There was no chest pain or dyspnoea, and he was hemodynamically stable with normal blood investigations. He smokes cannabis regularly and occasionally does cocaine. On examination, surgical emphysema was felt on both sides of the neck; the systemic examination was unremarkable. CT thorax demonstrated extensive pneumomediastinum and surgical emphysema from the angle of the jaw throughout the neck and down to the right subcapsular region. No pneumothorax was seen, and lung parenchyma was unremarkable. However, to rule out the clinical suspicion of oesophageal rupture, he had a CT oesophagus with oral contrast, which showed no extravasation of contrast from the oesophagus. The patient was admitted for observation, and the Chest X-ray after 12hours dint show pneumothorax. He was clinically well, tolerating oral feeds, so he was discharged with oral antibiotics as a prophylactic cover as per UGI surgeons.
The knowledge about this rare cause would help the physicians diagnose and educate the patients on the risk involved in using Marijuana.
EP-142 Assessing the Diagnostic Sensitivity of CT and Ultrasound in Suspected Appendicitis

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Introduction
Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency and accounts for one-third of adult patients presenting to A&E. CT imaging has high positive predictive value for acute appendicitis. Ultrasound, on the other hand, is preferred as a first-line imaging in children and women of child-bearing age. However, it is dependent on operator experience, variation in appendiceal anatomy and patient body habitus.
The RCR standards for the CT sensitivity should be &gt;90% and for US it should be &gt;70%. We conducted this study to investigate whether the diagnostic yield of CT and Ultrasound imaging in suspected appendicitis meet that of published research studies.

Method
All patients who underwent CT or US for suspected appendicitis followed by confirmed diagnosis where included. RCR AuditLive template was used to assess the performance in our local hospital.

Results
Sixty patients included. Of which eighteen had Ultrasound Abdomen and pelvis, forty-six had contrast CT scan and four patients had US followed by CT. Sensitivity for CT and US was 93% and 40% respectively with negative appendectomy rate of nearly 2%.

Conclusion
The standards for CT have been met in our hospital, however this is not the case for the US. This could be related to the performing operator, group of patients referred for US or the request itself, weather we request it to confirm the presence of appendicitis or rather excluding other pathologies. In all cases we recommend that we discuss these results in our next joined meeting with the radiologists.
