Does Virtual Reality Reduce Dental Treatment Stress in Patients With Dental Anxiety? A Comparison With Nitrous Oxide Sedation: A Crossover Study.

AIMS: This study aimed to compare the effects of virtual reality (VR) and nitrous oxide (N2O) sedation on anxiety and stress in patients with dental anxiety. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eight patients with dental anxiety (five women; mean age, 41 years) with scores ≥ 19 on the Japanese version of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale underwent three interventions: VR (natural landscapes and ambient music), N2O (30% N2O/70% oxygen), and no intervention (control). Autonomic nervous activity, including low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and the LF/HF ratio, was measured. VR significantly reduced LF a…

Enhancing encrypted HTTPS traffic classification based on stacked deep ensembles models.

The classification of encrypted HTTPS traffic is a critical task for network management and security, where traditional port or payload-based methods are ineffective due to encryption and evolving traffic patterns. This study addresses the challenge using the public Kaggle dataset (145,671 flows, 88 features, six traffic categories: Download, Live Video, Music, Player, Upload, Website). An automated preprocessing pipeline is developed to detect the label column, normalize classes, perform a stratified 70/15/15 split into training, validation, and testing sets, and apply imbalance-aware weighti…

A mechanistic surface complexation model for glyphosate adsorption to ferrihydrite in competition with phosphate.

The adsorption and mobility of glyphosate (PMG) in soils, sediments, natural waters, and wastewater treatment sludge are controlled by small-sized metal (hydr)oxides and affected by competition with phosphate. In this study, the adsorption of PMG to ferrihydrite, a ubiquitous nano-sized iron (hydr)oxide, is measured by batch adsorption experiments at a wide concentration (∼0.02 - 0.6 mM) and pH range (∼4-10), in the absence and presence of phosphate. The adsorption data were interpreted using the charge distribution and multisite ion complexation (CD-MUSIC) model for ferrihydrite. Including ph…
