The fraction of organic matter present affects the fragmentation behavior of sialoliths; thus, pretherapeutic information on the degree of mineralization is relevant for a correct selection of lithotripsy procedures. This work proposes a methodology for in vivo characterization of salivary calculi i...

Introduction/Purpose Reversible diffusionless first-order phase transformations are a fundamental part of phase change materials and shape memory alloys [1]. Some of these materials even possess useful physical characteristics that show abrupt changes e.g. in their electrical[2] and magnetic [3] pol...

The present work explores the concept of high-entropy alloys to design FeCoNi-based oxides suitable for functional applications. Fundamental changes in electronic behaviour produced by metal substitution and variable oxygen content were screened to investigate the potential of these materials for sp...
