Genetic improvement of cooking time in common bean: the role of dominance by Rita Carolina de Melo, Jefferson Luís Meirelles Coimbra, Luan Tiago dos Santos Carbonari, Paulo Henrique Cerutti, Altamir Frederico Guidolin

“…This was also corroborated by the scale tests, with a predominance of the dominance over the additive component, primarily in the cross between different commercial groups (carioca x black), where the additive component was zero. Additionally, this resulted in a lower broad-sense heritability coefficient, indicating a greater influence of non-genetic causes. …”

Color Stability and Surface Roughness of Different Composite Resins after Using Different Polishing Systems. by Hisham Z. Abdullah, Bassam K. Amin

“… Background and objectives: To evaluate and compare the color stability and surface roughness of different composite resins after using different polishing systems and then submitting to accelerating artificial aging (AAA) and staining by black tea. Method: Twenty disk-shaped specimens (were compacted into the custom-made cylindrical plastic mold that had an internal diameter of 10 mm and a depth of 2 mm) were prepared for each composite resin type (3M Z350, Tokoyama Palfique, and Shofu Beautifil II) for a total of 60 specimens, each composite group was divided into two subgroups according to the polishing system (n=10) (Shofu super-snap polishing disks and Eve Diacomp Plus Twist wheel). …”
