This article considers energy distribution of light inside a uniformly illuminated transparent water droplet. Two methods are used: the geometrical optics approximation and the Mie solution derived from wave optics. The authors describe in detail calculation algorithms suitable for efficient computer implementation and ways to improve them. In the limit for large droplets, both similarities and differences between the methods are pointed out. Resonant states are discussed, when the usually dark regions of the droplet turn out to be illuminated.

Changes in the crystal lattices and compositions of the dental enamel powders were evaluated after oven or Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation. A decrease in the Ca/P ratio to levels close to the ideal theoretical value of laser irradiation caused a considerable decrease in the hydroxyapatite crystallite size but without changes in the crystallographic phase. These changes alter the material, can affect the demineralization process, and are useful for the prevention of caries and dental erosion.

Modern anesthetic care is very safe, but stressful and traumatic clinical events may occur. When they occur, anesthesia professionals are vulnerable to second victim experiences, resulting in significant and long-lasting psychological and emotional consequences if not addressed. Peer support can help anesthesia professionals cope with the negative effects of second victim experiences.

Laser speckle is a non-contact, non-interfering, non-destructive, rapid and controllable technique with a large area of coverage that has attracted much attention for surface analysis of materials. The emergence of different natural cellulosic materials as potential candidates for the replacement of synthetic ones is promising, but their sustainability from the point of view of material design is still in question. Machining of the surface of cellulosic components for making sound-dampening materials has a critical effect on determining their surface condition. Laser speckle is an emerging tool for surface analysis of a variety of materials, and it has important applications in material design and analysis. As a cutting-edge research tool, ultrasonic wave technology has maintained a significant contribution to the design and structural monitoring of composite materials. The present work uses date palm leaf fibers for composite reinforcement. The sound-dampening properties, such as sound absorption and transmission, were analyzed on the basis of surface roughness observed with the laser speckle technique and modified by ultrasonically blended surfactants. The surface roughness of the synthesized material was found to increase with sonication time with an R
