DIURNAL SERIANTHES NELSONII MERR. LEAFLET PARAHELIOTROPISM REDUCES LEAFLET TEMPERATURE, RELIEVES PHOTOINHIBITION, AND ALTERS NYCTINASTIC BEHAVIOR

Diurnal Serianthes nelsonii Merr. leaflet paraheliotropism reduces leaflet temperature, relieves photoinhibition, and alters nyctinastic behavior

The diel cycle of Serianthes nelsonii leaflet movements was characterized under four levels of shade from full sun to 22% sunlight transmission to determine the photoprotective components of diurnal leaflet movements and the relationship to patterns of nocturnal leaflet movements.Treatments also included negating paraheliotropism by re-orienting pl

Evaluation of biofilm formation on acrylic resins used to fabricate dental temporary restorations with the use of 3D printing technology

Abstract Background Temporary implant-retained restorations are required to support function and esthetics of the masticatory system until the final restoration is completed and delivered.Acrylic resins are commonly used in prosthetic dentistry and lately they have been used in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology.Since this technology it is
