A critical assessment of the potential for Structure‐from‐Motion photogrammetry to produce high fidelity 3D dental models

Abstract Objectives The recent proliferation of methods of 3D model generation has enabled the development of new approaches to the analysis of dental form, function and wear. This article assesses whether Structure‐from‐motion (SfM) photogrammetry is capable of producing virtual 3D models of teeth of adequate quality for assessing fine scale surface details, such as dental macrowear patterns. Reference models were generated using a high resolution structured light scanner to assess the accuracy...

The association between bacterial infections and the risk of coronary heart disease in type 1 diabetes

Abstract Background Diabetes increases the risk of infections as well as coronary heart disease (CHD). Whether infections increase the risk of CHD and how this applies to individuals with diabetes is unclear. Objectives To investigate the association between bacterial infections and the risk of CHD in type 1 diabetes. Methods Individuals with type 1 diabetes (n  = 3781) were recruited from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study (FinnDiane), a prospective follow‐up study....

Biomimetic Replication of Root Surface Microstructure using Alteration of Soft Lithography

Biomimetics has been previously used as a tool to study leaf-microorganism interactions. However, no such tool exists for roots. Here, we develop a protocol to form synthetic surfaces mimicking root surface microstructure for the study of root-environment interactions.

Fabrication and Characterization of Thickness Mode Piezoelectric Devices for Atomization and Acoustofluidics

Fabrication of piezoelectric thickness mode transducers via direct current sputtering of plate electrodes on lithium niobate is described. Additionally, reliable operation is achieved with a transducer holder and fluid supply system and characterization is demonstrated via impedance analysis, laser doppler vibrometry, high-speed imaging, and droplet size distribution using laser scattering.
