Abstract
SUMMARY
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of three specially designed polishing kits for provisional restorations made from three chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) provisional resin blocks.
Method: Ninety-six chairside CAD/CAM provisional restorations were milled out of three chairside CAD/CAM provisional resin blocks: (1) ArtBloc Temp (Merz Dental); (2) Telio CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent); and (3) Vita CAD-Temp (VITA Zahnfabrik). The provisional restorations for each material were allocated into the following groups: (1) milled restorations (no polish); (2) polished with CADMaster CAD/CAM Adjustment & Polishing Kit (CM, Shofu); (3) polished with KUT Ultimate Bisacryl (Temporaries) Polishing Kit (KU, Dental Savings Club); and (4) polished with K0330 PMMA Adjusting, Finishing & Polishing (KP, Brasseler USA). Optical profilometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to assess the surface roughness (Ra) of each provisional restoration at the microscale and nanoscale, respectively, and obtain topographical images. In addition, the milled and polished restorations were visually evaluated by 16 dentists.
Results: There was a strong positive correlation with Ra values between optical profilometry and AFM. Only KP significantly improved the surface roughness of CAD/CAM provisional restorations compared to the milled equivalent, regardless of material type or measurement modality (ie, lateral length scale). Although surface topography imaging with AFM revealed some shallow scratches, even for KP polished specimens, all KP polished restorations were categorized as clinically acceptable for provisional restorations in visual inspections from dentists.
Conclusion: Specially designed polishing kits for provisional restorations did not all improve the surface roughness of chairside CAD/CAM provisional restorations, regardless of the measurement method. KP was more consistently effective in polishing milled chairside CAD/CAM provisional restorations than CM and KU.

Abstract
Research has shown the effort to develop conceptual models that relate anthropic stressors to changes in aquatic environment state. Several of these models come from the structure Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact and Response (DPSIR), which has been used since the 1990s. However, there is a lack of conceptual models that consider in its structure the connection between the damages caused in the aquatic environment and technological disasters. This research develops a general conceptual model based on the DPSIR structure incorporating technological disasters. Based on the general conceptual model guidelines and the methodological procedure associated with it, a model was developed to assess the Lower Doce River waters' state, by considering Fundão's iron-ore dam failure scenario, which took place in November 2015, in the municipality of Mariana, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The relevant aspects of this adaptation of the DPSIR structure were: I) it considers the combined effect of drivers and pressures that already existed in the study area with those originated from the technological disaster; and II) the causal relationships among elements of the model were explicited through a systemic conceptual map, allowing a more holistic and integrated view of the problem. The application of the conceptual model to Doce River's scenario before the disaster allowed us to verify that a set of environmental pressures was already acting in a way to stress it, making the river vulnerable. For the post-disaster scenario, it was possible to determine that the already existing vulnerability condition, caused by urbanization, agriculture1 and mining, had been intensified by adding new pressures due to the tailings dam failure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of four direct restorative materials that can be used in the proximal box elevation (PBE) technique. METHODS AND MATERIALS Seventy-five molar teeth were randomly assigned to one of five groups (n=15): type II glass ionomer (GI), type II resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), resin-based composite (RBC), bulk-fill (BF) resin-based composite, and a control with no box elevation procedure. Specimens were prepared for a standard mesio-occlusal-distal, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufactured (CAD-CAM) resin, nanoceramic onlay with mesial cervical margins located 1 mm above the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and distal cervical margins located 2 mm below the CEJ. PBE was used to elevate the distal margins to 1 mm above the CEJ in all groups except the control group. For the control group the onlay margin was placed directly on the prepared distal tooth structure without PBE. A Lava Ultimate CAD/CAM resin, nanoceramic onlay restorative was manufactured and bonded on all specimens with RelyX Ultimate adhesive resin cement. The quality of the tooth-PBE material and PBE material-onlay interface was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy using epoxy resin replicas before and after cyclic loading (100,000 cycles, 1.2 Hz at 65N and 37°C). In addition to margin quality, the fracture resistance of each group was measured using a universal testing machine. Fracture pattern was recorded by visual examination. The Levene test for homogeneity and the Welch analysis of variance were completed for fracture resistance and margin quality. A χ2 test was completed for break mode. RESULTS For dentin margins, a statistically significant difference was detected between the RMGI and control groups at baseline (p=0.0442). All other groups-GI, RBC, and BF-showed no difference from the control at baseline (p>0.05). No statistical significance was observed among groups for post-cyclic fatigue (p=0.8735). For onlay margins, no statistical significance was observed among groups for pre-cyclic fatigue, post-cyclic fatigue, or change (p=0.9713, p=0.528, p=0.4385, respectively). No significant difference was observed for the fracture resistance among groups or for the type of break by material used (p=0.1593, p=0.77, respectively). CONCLUSION Within the parameters of this study, after mechanical fatigue, the materials used for PBE: RMGI, RBC, and BF, did not influence results in terms of margin quality and fracture resistance. Therefore, collective findings suggest that these materials might be suitable for PBE procedures. Nevertheless, clinical caution is recommended with any PBE procedure and further testing of GI materials is needed.

Abstract
Recent research has shown that the application of specific thin films can enhance the material properties of a laminate construct. In this study, the effect of different mono/multilayered films on the strength of a ceramic specimen is demonstrated. It is well established that cracks can initiate and/or propagate from the internal surfaces of all-ceramic dental restorations. Modifying that surface by thin-film deposition might help increase clinical longevity and applicability. Specimens were divided into the following groups according to different surface treatments received: uncoated (control group), 10 μm yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film, 10 μm parylene thin film, 9.75 μm YSZ + 0.25 μm parylene film, and a multilayered film (five layers of 1.25 μm YSZ + 0.75 μm parylene). Depositions were performed using a radio-frequency magnetron sputter system (working pressure 15 mT, 150 °C, 30:1 Ar/O2 gas ratio) to produce the YSZ layers, and a vapour deposition process was used to produce the parylene layers. Flexural strength measurements were carried out by three-point bending (span = 10 mm) in a servo-electric material testing system in deioinized (DI) water (37 °C). The results showed that the strength of the specimen significantly increased with the deposition of all types of coating, showing the greatest increase with the multilayered film (∼32 per cent). It is hypothesized that a multilayer thin film (brittle/ductile) can promote crack deflection, causing strength enhancement of the brittle construct.

Abstract
The main purpose of the present work is to study the concentration of atmospheric particles in the Candiota region, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, where the Presidente Médici coal power plant is located. Aerosol samples were collected at the studied locations between December 2000 and December 2001 during 24 h periods at 15 day intervals using HV PM10 and dichotomous samplers. Then, the values obtained with the ISCST (Industrial Source Complex Term) model, with the HV PM10 sampler at all studied stations, and with the dichotomous sampler at the 8 de Agosto station were compared with each other. The results show that the values for the model had been underestimated in relation to the HV PM10 data for the studied stations, but agreed with the values obtained with the dichotomous sampler.

Abstract
The genus Xanthomonas is a diverse and economically important group of bacterial phytopathogens, belonging to the gamma-subdivision of the Proteobacteria. Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) causes citrus canker, which affects most commercial citrus cultivars, resulting in significant losses worldwide. Symptoms include canker lesions, leading to abscission of fruit and leaves and general tree decline. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) causes black rot, which affects crucifers such as Brassica and Arabidopsis. Symptoms include marginal leaf chlorosis and darkening of vascular tissue, accompanied by extensive wilting and necrosis. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is grown commercially to produce the exopolysaccharide xanthan gum, which is used as a viscosifying and stabilizing agent in many industries. Here we report and compare the complete genome sequences of Xac and Xcc. Their distinct disease phenotypes and host ranges belie a high degree of similarity at the genomic level. More than 80% of genes are shared, and gene order is conserved along most of their respective chromosomes. We identified several groups of strain-specific genes, and on the basis of these groups we propose mechanisms that may explain the differing host specificities and pathogenic processes.
