FORCE DIRECTION USING MINISCREWS IN SLIDING MECHANICS DIFFERENTIALLY AFFECTED MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR RETRACTION: FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION AND TYPODONT MODEL

Background/purpose: En masse retraction was still controversy in orthodontics.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of force directions created by different miniscrew positions and lever arm heights on maxillary central incisor movement using Finite Element (FE) simulation and a Typodont model.Materials and methods: A typodont model a

This paper presents a novel control scheme for a modular multilevel cascaded converter (MMCC) functioning as an active 1980 corvette tail lights power conditioner (APC) to control the reactive power, eliminate the current harmonics, and compensate unbalanced load current simultaneously.This combines a modified predictive current controller with the

taylor swift baby guitar Fuel lubricity prevents wear between metallic parts in relative motion inside the injection system of combustion engines.Among diesel fuels, paraffinic (gas-to-liquid or hydrotreated oils) and biodiesel (methyl esters) fuels are emerging since some of them are renewable and, in the case of paraffinic fuels, present excellen

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common human and animal pathogen associated with a wide range of diseases.Since the first isolation of C.pneumoniae TWAR in 1965, all human isolates have been essentially clonal, providing little evolutionary insight.To address this gap, we investigated the genetic diversity of 30 isolates from diverse geographical locatio
