You also need to be aware that despite regular home cleaning, spots of plaque will remain on your teeth. Plaque is soft and can be removed by brushing and flossing, while calculus needs to be removed by a professional. The significant difference is in the consistency. So, What Is The Difference Between Calculus and Plaque? If left untreated, tooth loss will occur. The immune system tries to neutralise the infection by attacking both the gums and the jaw bone. ![]() If it is not cleaned off regularly, detachment between the gum and the jaw bone occurs, this will further aggravates and progresses to a more severe form of gum disease, called periodontitis or advanced gum disease.

This is an early stage of periodontal disease, marked by: The formation of calculus will cause gum inflammation well known as gingivitis. What About the Effects of Calculus On Teeth?Ĭalculus, or tartar, is the name given to mineralised plaque that has not been cleaned and has accumulated over time. Generates toxins which can cause gum disease and inflammation.Enables enamel erosion by weakening the protective action of saliva.The substance allows bacteria to thrive and turns the remnants of food into acid, which: In fact, most dental and periodontal problems are caused by plaque. This build-up has a devastating effect on tooth and gum health. You’ll know if you’re dealing with a build-up because a layer of yellow gunk will form on your teeth, which is both unsightly and unhealthy. Plaque formation happens continuously throughout the day, in fact, plaque begins forming on your teeth as soon as you finish brushing.īrushing and flossing do remove plaque, which is why a regular cleaning routine is so vital in preventing build-up. Plaque is a sticky and soft substance made of food debris that settles on your teeth after you eat or drink. What is Plaque and What Does It Do Your Teeth?

Because degradation and failure are spatially heterogeneous, it is also important to conduct spatially resolved measurements. Thus, in-situ study of large format pouch cells is necessary in order to determine the principal factors controlling the degradation in batteries for high power applications. For example, Li + transport in a coin cell, which has excess electrolyte, can be substantially different from that in a pouch cell. As a battery's performance and service life strongly depend upon its design and packaging 16, the degradation mechanisms in large format pouch cells, representative of what is in use in the newest electrified vehicles, are expected to be very different from those in small or coin cells. However, most of these experiments focus on small format batteries, often in half-cell form, in order to allow access to the anode or cathode material for detailed studies. More recently, transmission electron microscopy 13 and nuclear magnetic resonance 14, 15 have been used for in-situ observations. There is a long history of experimental characterization of the charge-discharge process in Li-ion batteries using, for example, impedance measurements 6, laboratory X-ray diffraction 10, 11, and synchrotron X-ray diffraction 12. (The curved white lines in the images are artifacts from collecting the samples.) They may have become electrically disconnected from the current collector. Black indicates the presence of graphite particles that are not lithiated. In (b), taken close to the end cap (about 20 mm away from (a)) the electrode is only partially gold. In (a), taken far from the end caps, the entire region becomes gold, indicating that all of the graphite in this region became lithiated. Full lithiation (LiC 6) turns graphite to a gold color. These regions were shorted to metallic Li and thereby lithiated to the maximum extent possible. The images (a) and (b), each showing a region approximately 2×2 mm 2 on the graphite electrode, were taken from different locations (shown as red squares). Optical micrographs taken from a failed commercial 18650 battery cells to illustrate the nature of heterogeneous failure. Similar results can be expected for large format pouch cell batteries. The deteriorated region, which cannot be fully lithiated, lost 2/3 of its capacity. Lithiation of graphite electrodes – the LiC 6 phase – turns them to a golden color 9 that can be readily observed. The optical micrographs of samples from each region are contrasted in Figure 1. Close examination shows that the central region of the electrode tape is largely homogeneous, while the edge areas appear to be highly fractured with a substantial loss of capacity. The graphite anode suffered damage near each end cap. Figure 1 highlights the spatial inhomogeneity in the anode of a commercial 18650 battery after it lost a significant amount of capacity under cycling. In many cases, degradation and failure in large format batteries start locally at inhomogeneities or weak points, rather than uniformly across the entire battery 3, 7, 8. Analysis of specific degradation mechanisms can in some cases provide a rationale for experimentally observed phenomena, but without comprehensive in-situ experimental data, quantitative cause-and-effect relationships between observation and degradation pathways are difficult to establish. Factors contributing to the durability of large format Li-ion batteries are complex and vary widely with different electrode materials, battery manufacturing processes, cycling rate, temperature and other operating conditions. While the electrochemical performance of a battery can be reasonably well described within the model of Newman 5, our ability to predict battery life is extremely limited because many seemingly unrelated degradation mechanisms have been identified 6. ![]() These requirements are about one order of magnitude greater than what current technology provides in small format cells (as in, for example, laptop computers and cell phones). High power Li-ion batteries require an operating lifetime of over 5,000 cycles and 10–15 years or more in order to achieve the economic viability in battery-powered vehicles and in the future electricity infrastructure 4.

How Is the Lunar New Year Celebrated?Īs with many winter solstice celebrations, the symbolic darkness of night is banished by the light of fireworks, lanterns, and candles. Many other countries in East Asia, including Vietnam, Korea, Japan, and the Philippines, hold their own New Year celebrations at this time. Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most celebrated and longest of all Asian festivals and is observed by millions of people around the world. ( Note: China follows the Gregorian calendar for daily business but still follows the Chinese calendar for important festivals, auspicious dates such as wedding dates, and the Moon phases.) Who Celebrates Lunar New Year?Īlthough this holiday is commonly called “Chinese New Year” in the West, China is not the only country to observe it. Just like New Year according to the Gregorian calendar (January 1), Lunar New Year celebrations start on the night before the first day of the new year. The Chinese lunisolar calendar shares some similarities with the Hebrew calendar, which is also lunisolar, and it has influenced other East Asian calendars, such as those of Korea and Vietnam.īecause the Chinese calendar defines the lunar month containing the winter solstice as the 11th month, the Lunar New Year usually falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice. This ancient calendar dates back to the 14th century BCE (whereas the Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582). The traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, which is based on astronomical observations of the Sun’s position in the sky and the Moon’s phases.

Together, they wrote a number of songs for Talk Is Cheap, and Richards put together a band that included guitarist Waddy Wachtel, keyboardist Ivan Neville, bassist Charley Drayton, and Jordan that he dubbed “The X-Pensive Winos.” Jordan was a skilled musician and songwriter who had launched his career as a teenager playing in Stevie Wonder’s band and had subsequently lent his talents to sessions by a number of jazz, soul, and blues artists including Don Cherry, Taj Mahal, Patti Austin, and Cissy Houston. Richards enlisted the help of journeyman drummer Steve Jordan, who had appeared on the Stones’ Dirty Work album and was a member of the Saturday Night Live house band during the 1970s (he also toured with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s Blues Brothers band). In the wake of Jagger’s decision to pursue his solo career in opposition to the Stones’ fortunes, Richards decided to record his own solo LP. The last straw in the duo’s musical partnership was Jagger’s decision not to tour in support of Dirty Work after its release in early 1986, preferring to follow up on his relatively successful solo debut by starting to work on a follow-up album. While Jagger performed a solo set that summer at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia, Richards and the Stones’ Ron Wood performed supporting Bob Dylan. When the band began recording Dirty Work, its first album under a new deal with CBS Records, Jagger was typically AWOL from the sessions, recording his vocals later (and alone).
