Recent reports of worldwide coral bleaching events leading to devastating coral mortality have caused alarm among scientists and resource managers. Differential survival of coral species through bleaching events has been widely documented. We suggest that among the possible factors contributing to survival of coral species during such events are endolithic algae harboured in their skeleton, pro...

Thirty-six human teeth were examined to histologically determine if the Modified Mclnnes Bleaching Technique had any adverse effects on the pulp. Under the conditions of this study, there were no significant pulpal reactions to the bleaching technique even when a substantial amount of the enamel was removed from the facial surface of the crowns.

Rapid innovation in vital bleaching has increased the popularity of tooth whitening among dental professionals and patients. A broad range of peroxide-based treatments are currently available including those that are professionally-administered (in-office), professionally-dispensed (custom-tray-based systems), and self-directed (over-the-counter). Recently, a novel, flexible polyethylene bleach...

In paper industry, pulp bleaching is a most important concern in order to effectively respond to the high quality standards demanded by market requirements. Thus, a good knowledge of the bleaching plant is vital to achieve those goals. In this paper a neuro-fuzzy strategy is proposed to aid bleaching quality by predicting the outlet brightness. It consists of two phases: in the first one, a fuz...
