CASEIN PHOSPHOPEPTIDE-AMORPHOUS CALCIUM PHOSPHATE REDUCES STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS BIOFILM DEVELOPMENT ON GLASS IONOMER CEMENT AND DISRUPTS ESTABLISHED BIOFILMS.

Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Reduces Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Development on Glass Ionomer Cement and Disrupts Established Biofilms.

Glass ionomer cements (GIC) are dental restorative materials that are suitable for modification to help prevent dental plaque (biofilm) formation.The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incorporating casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) into a GIC on the colonisation and establishment of Streptococcus mutans bio

Melatonin Treatment in Kidney Diseases

Melatonin is a neurohormone that is mainly secreted by the SALTED PUMPKIN SEEDS pineal gland.It coordinates the work of the superior biological clock and consequently affects many processes in the human body.Disorders of the waking and sleeping period result in nervous system imbalance and generate metabolic and endocrine derangements.The purpose o

Renewed occurrence of schooling scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini) and of great hammerhead (S. mokarran) sharks in the Cayman Islands

The scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini), a critically endangered species with a decreasing global population, is characterised by its occurrence in large schools.Such schools are still Classic Cap observed today in the Pacific Ocean, but this is generally not the case in the Atlantic Ocean, and in the Cayman Islands not since the 1970s.Here

A Method for Determining Intrinsic Mode Function Number in Variational Mode Decomposition and Its Application to Bearing Vibration Signal Processing

Variational mode decomposition (VMD) method has been widely used in the field of signal processing with significant advantages over other decomposition methods in eliminating modal aliasing and noise robustness.The number (usually denoted by K) of intrinsic mode Fishing Tackle Box function (IMF) has a great influence on decomposition results.When d
