For the axisymmetric shell resonator gyroscopes, the quality factor (Q factor) of the resonator is one of the core parameters limiting their performances. Surface loss is one of the dominating losses, which is related to the subsurface damage (SSD) that is influenced by the grinding parameters. This paper experimentally studies the surface roughness and Q factor variation of six resonators ground by three different grinding speeds. The results suggest that the removal of the SSD cannot improve the Q factor continuously, and the variation of surface roughness is not the dominant reason to affect the Q factor. The measurement results indicate that an appropriate increase in the grinding speed can significantly improve the surface quality and Q factor. This study also demonstrates that a 20 million Q factor for fused silica cylindrical resonators is achievable using appropriate manufacturing processes combined with post-processing etching, which offers possibilities for developing high-precision and low-cost cylindrical resonator gyroscopes.

Wildlife poaching and the trade of wildlife items is a large area of illegal business that is alleged to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. However, wildlife forensics remains an understudied field even though the consequences of poaching are catastrophic and can lead to the spread of zoonotic disease and a decrease in biodiversity. Even though fingermark analysis is cost-effective, easy to deploy in the field and has a long history of securing criminal convictions in court, wildlife forensics is mainly limited to DNA-based techniques.

This study aimed to characterize, in vitro dissolution, and evaluate the release kinetics of salicylamide in capsule shells made from κ-carrageenan-HPMC. The capsule shell was prepared using the dipping method with CRG: HPMC (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) ratio, supplemented with sorbitol and antifoam silicone emulsion. Characterization was conducted using FTIR, SEM-EDX mapping, AFM, hardness, and swelling degree experiments.

This study assessed the effect of saliva exposure on roughness (Ra) and Vickers hardness (VHN) of two direct restorative materials, enamel, and dentin adjacent to the restorations. Enamel and dentin cavities in molars (n = 10) were restored with a) bulk-fill resin composite (Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill, BF) with the application of a universal adhesive (Tetric N-Bond Universal) and b) alkasite restorative material (Cention N, CN) with and without the application of a universal adhesive. After 24 h (baseline), surface roughness and hardness of the restorative material and dental tissues were assessed at 100 μm from the tooth/restoration interface.

Single electrons confined to a free neon surface and manipulated through the circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture is a promising novel quantum computing platform. Understanding the exact physical nature of the electron-on-neon (eNe) charge states is important for realizing this platform's potential for quantum technologies. We investigate how resonator trench depth and substrate surface properties influence the formation of eNe charge states and their coupling to microwave resonators.

Introduction: This study investigated the effect of sandblasting time and primer type on the shear bond strength of composite attachments to full-contour zirconia crowns.
Methods: A total of 108 zirconia specimens were fabricated and divided into 9 groups (n = 12) according to sandblasting time (10, 30, and 60 seconds) and primer type (silane, 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate [MDP], universal). After sandblasting with 110-μm alumina particles, specimens were primed, and attachments were bonded using a packable composite.
