C4 Pathway and CAM

C4 Pathway and CAM

Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

Bearings: Problem Solving

Bearings: Problem Solving

Understanding the calculations and concepts related to double-collar bearings is essential for engineers and designers to optimize the performance of these components in various applications. By analyzing the bearing under different conditions, one can ensure that it can withstand the forces and moments experienced during operation. This knowledge enables better decision-making when designing and selecting bearings for specific purposes and configurations. Consider a double-collar bearing with...

Area of Science:

Dental Technology
Digital Dentistry
Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

The integration of digital technologies in dentistry has rapidly advanced.
Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems are transforming restorative procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To comprehensively review literature on scanning, designing, and fabricating CAD/CAM restorations.
To detail new classifications of CAD/CAM technology in dentistry.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of PubMed database using keywords: CAD/CAM, 3D printing, scanner, digital impression, zirconia.
Inclusion of English articles published between 2001 and 2015.
Manual search of reference lists and peer-reviewed journals.

Main Results:

CAD/CAM offers benefits like digital impressions and virtual articulators but faces challenges in cost and training.
Design software applications extend to dentures and partial frameworks; 5-axis milling enhances fabrication accuracy.
3D printing in dentistry is limited to polymers, not ceramics; future ultrasound impressions may replace optical methods.

Conclusions:

The trend favors practitioners using integrated camera-computer systems for digital image transmission to laboratories.
Continued advancements in CAD/CAM technology are expected to improve efficiency and accessibility in dental practice.
