María Paula Contreras Becerra named recipient of the 2023 IADR David B. Scott Fellowship

2023-06-22
(Press-News.org) Alexandria, VA – The International Association for Dental Research (IADR) has announced that María Paula Contreras Becerra is the 2023 recipient of the IADR David B. Scott Fellowship. Contreras Becerra, from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL), Bogotá, was recognized during the Opening Ceremonies of the 101st General Session of the IADR, which was held in conjunction with the 9th Meeting of the Latin American Region and the 12th World Congress on Preventive Dentistry, that took place on June 21, 2023, in Bogotá, Colombia.

Contreras Becerra’s work, “Implementation of the Re-Aim Tool for the Assessment of the Impact of the Service Remote Orientation in the Population of Users Accessing the ENtrauma Service,” is part of the line that develops the tele-orientation service for dentoalveolar trauma and has been presented as the tool for evaluating the impact of the service once upon implementation. In accordance with the evidence described in reference to dentoalveolar trauma and the considerable prevalence that traumatic dentoalveolar injuries represent in Colombia and the rest of the world, a tele-orientation and tele-support system is being developed by the UNAL School of Dentistry to generate attention and minimize the damage of a problem already recognized by the World Health Organization as a public health issue.

The David B. Scott Fellowship is normally awarded annually to one dental student in one IADR Division and will rotate alphabetically among the Divisions. It is the Division's responsibility to select the recipient by any method it devises, but the Division must present the candidate's name and the proposal for his or her research experience to the IADR Board for approval. The David B. Scott Fellowship is funded at $2,500 and is awarded this year in the IADR Colombian Division.

Space tech to shrink as the limits of quantum physics are tested on Earth and beyond

Space tech to shrink as the limits of quantum physics are tested on Earth and beyond
2023-06-22
A UK-wide consortium is developing technologies to use nanoparticles as state-of-the-art sensors on small, shoebox-sized satellites known as CubeSats. The Universities of Warwick, Swansea and Strathclyde have been awarded £250k to further research into nanoparticles and quantum physics in the application of space technology. Recent advances in the field of levitated optomechanics (the motion of tiny particles held and measured in free space by laser light), have shown that nanoparticles can exhibit behaviours that are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics (a fundamental theory which describes how atoms and subatomic particles interact). This has led to nanoparticles, which are ...

New research shows vegetation accelerates coastal dune erosion during extreme events

New research shows vegetation accelerates coastal dune erosion during extreme events
2023-06-21
INTRODUCTION Coastal sand dunes provide the first line of defense from storms for some of the most economically valuable and ecologically important landscapes in the world (1–3). A current and broadly accepted paradigm is that vegetation reduces the erosion of these dunes during wave attack (4–7). The existing body of dune research shows that a greater size (8), density (9–11), and diversity (12) of plants are associated with less erosion, although these studies have been limited ...

Inside-out heating and ambient wind could make direct air capture cheaper and more efficient

Inside-out heating and ambient wind could make direct air capture cheaper and more efficient
2023-06-21
What started as a simple errand to deposit a check at a bank drive-through became the kind of “aha” moment found mostly in books and movies. Georgia Tech researchers had been working on an idea to simplify traditional direct air capture (DAC) systems. Their approach used ambient wind flow to draw air across a new kind of coated carbon fiber to grab CO2. That would eliminate the loud fans used in many systems. And the carbon fiber strands could be quickly heated to release the captured carbon dioxide with ...

A clean energy transition is possible for China’s manufacturing industry

2023-06-21
The industrial sector – made up of businesses that support processing raw materials for manufacturing and consumer goods – is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and one that has proven difficult to decarbonize. In China, much of the industrial sector is organized into ‘parks’ that have been zoned as areas for concentrated industrial activities. China has more than 2,500 industrial parks that are currently largely powered by coal. A recent study led by researchers at Princeton University finds that this clustering of industry provides unique and overlooked opportunities for targeted energy supply emissions reduction ...

Antarctic ice shelves experienced only minor changes in surface melt since 1980

2023-06-21
Antarctic ice shelves have experienced only minor changes in surface melt rates over the past four decades, unlike the rapid increase in surface melt experienced by Greenland’s glaciers during the same time period, according to new research. The news is not cause for celebration just yet, though—the researchers expect Antarctic ice shelf surface melt rates to increase substantially in the coming decades due to rising global air temperatures. Ice shelves are the parts of glaciers that extend into the ocean and float on top of seawater. In a new study published today in Geophysical Research Letters, glaciologists ...
