Welcome to OpenBU
The Boston University Institutional Repository contains documents and publications authored or co-authored by BU faculty, students, and staff.
OpenBU is an open access repository, which means that the full text of the work deposited here is freely accessible to the world via the web. Access is restricted only in unavoidable instances, for example where publisher copyright restrictions prevail. However over 90% of scholarly publishers worldwide now allow some version of the documents they publish to be made available in a repository such as this.

Effects of climate, habitat, and conservation management on an aerial insectivore, the tree swallow, and its insect prey in Massachusetts, USA
(2021)Human-driven climate, habitat, and land use changes often co-occur in ecological communities. We must consider the multiple components of global change acting on individual species and assemblages to document biological ... -
Effect of dentin conditioning on bonding and sealing ability of various resin cements to a ceramic crown
(2021)OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage, margin gap, and microtensile bond strength of lithium disilicate under different dentin conditions using four different resin-based cements. MATERIALS ... -
Hyaluronic acid as an accessory scaffold and carrier for growth factors in bone healing
(2021)BACKGROUND: Cells, growth factors (GFs), and scaffold are three essential factors for tissue engineering. Our previous studies suggested that multiple applications of human amnion growth factors (AGF) into osseous defects ... -
Mechanical properties and shear bond strength of denture teeth to different denture base materials
(2021)OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in vitro study is to investigate the mechanical properties and bond strength of denture teeth to recently introduced denture base materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From high-impact pourable ... -
Effect of surface finish on wear of ceramics
(2021)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of surface finish on wear of dental ceramics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 192 ceramic specimens (2×12×14 mm) were prepared using Vita Enamic, Vita Mark II, IPS e.max, and InCoris Zirconia ... -
Lysyl oxidase like-2 anabolic role in TMJ and knee osteoarthritis
(2021)INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic degenerative joint disease that leads to damage and disability of the joints. Several studies mentioned the association between inflammatory process and clinical ... -
Bond strength of calcium silicate based bioceramic sealers to dentin
(2023)OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare available bioceramic sealers and resin based sealer on their push out and shear bond strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three calcium silicate based bioceramic sealers: ... -
Placing faith: community commitment among millennial Catholics

Sighs from the depths: rendering trauma and national history in Italian horror cinema
(2021)This thesis examines the development of the surreal and often transgressively lurid aesthetic of Italian horror cinema of the late twentieth century and its connection to the turbulent relationship between the nation’s ... -
Model reduction for multi-scale partial differential equations
(2021)In this thesis, a new method is developed for model reduction in multi-scale systems of coupled reaction-diffusion equations. The new method uses scaling variables which are naturally suggested by the classical diffusion ...
