Mass diffusion and Soret coefficient measurements of triethylene glycol/water binary mixtures by dynamic shadowgraphy.

The investigation of the transport properties of binary fluid mixtures remains a topic of interest in relation to the more challenging studies of ternary mixtures. In fact, the study of the phase boundary limits of the Gibbs composition triangle can be the initial step for a more complete analysis of ternary mixtures. In this paper, we apply the dynamic shadowgraphy optical technique to study non-equilibrium fluctuations induced by the presence of a gradient of temperature and/or concentration in the triethylene glycol (TEG)/water system.

A neural surveyor to map touch on the body.

Perhaps the most recognizable sensory map in all of neuroscience is the somatosensory homunculus. Although it seems straightforward, this simple representation belies the complex link between an activation in a somatotopic map and the associated touch location on the body. Any isolated activation is spatially ambiguous without a neural decoder that can read its position within the entire map, but how this is computed by neural networks is unknown.

Predictive surface complexation model of the calcite-aqueous solution interface: The impact of high concentration and complex composition of brines.

Electrochemical interactions at calcite-water interface are characterized by the zeta potential and play an important role in many subsurface applications. In this work we report a new physically meaningful surface complexation model that is proven to be efficient in predicting calcite-water zeta potentials for a wide range of experimental conditions. Our model uses a two-stage optimization for matching experimental observations.

Corono-radicular dilaceration of a maxillary central incisor: A case report.

Coronoradicular dilaceration is a particular abnormality of the permanent incisors, usually maxillary, and usually occurs around the age of 4 to 5 when the crown is formed and the root is still growing. It follows acute mechanical trauma affecting the temporary incisor. This anomaly of shape is characterized by an angulation between the crown and the root of the permanent tooth.

In vivo enamel stripping: A macroscopic and microscopic analytical study.

Introduction: Interdental stripping is often used in orthodontics to correct discrepancies of tooth shape or size. However, this procedure involves significant risks for the enamel. The roughness of the enamel surface might depend on the instruments used; it can lead to the accumulation of cariogenic plaque and periodontal problems.

A predictive model of advancement genioplasty in Class III bimaxillary surgical cases.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to try to standardize the surgeon's clinical sense in order to avoid revision surgery.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine patients with skeletal Class III treated by bimaxillary surgery were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. These patients were divided into two groups according to the type of surgery: Group 1 (G1): bimaxillary surgery alone, and Group 2 (G2): bimaxillary surgery with genioplasty.

Therapeutic efficacy of self-ligating brackets: A systematic review.

Introduction: Over the last few years, the use of self-ligating brackets in orthodontics has progressed considerably. These systems have been the subject of numerous studies with good levels of evidence making it possible to evaluate their efficacy and efficiency compared to conventional brackets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of self-ligating brackets by means of a systematic review of the scientific literature.

Residual craniofacial growth: A cephalometric study of 50 cases.

Although orthodontists focus intensively on the diagnosis and treatment of their patients, they pay less attention to post-treatment development and the risk of relapse often caused by the late growth of the arches and bony base. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the growth changes, which can affect craniofacial dimensions in subjects aged between 13 and 17 years. A retrospective longitudinal study including 50 patients (31 girls and 19 boys) whose end of orthodontic treatment coincided with the end of the post-pubertal period (13-14 years) involved a comparison of the cephalometric analyses for each patient between T1 (end of orthodontic treatment) and T2 (end of retention).

[Prevalence and clinical characteristics of oral bony outgrowth in a Moroccan population].

Objectives: Oral bony outgrowths (OBOs) are localized bony protuberances that arise from the cortical plate. Various types of OBOs have been described, the precise designation of which depends on anatomic location such as torus palatinus, torus mandibularis, buccal exostosis, or palatal exostosis. We had for aim to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of OBOs in a Moroccan population.

Relationship between dimensions of muscles of mastication (masseter and lateral pterygoid) and skeletal dimensions: study of 40 cases.

Introduction: The masticatory muscles play an important part in determining the morphology of the facial skeleton. Skeletal typology and the characteristics of the masticatory muscles are closely linked. Several authors have studied muscle characteristics as related to facial typology.

Influence of surface conductivity on the apparent zeta potential of TiO2 nanoparticles: application to the modeling of their aggregation kinetics.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are extensively used in consumer products. The release of these NPs into aquatic environments raises the question of their possible risks to the environment and human health. The magnitude of the threat may depend on whether TiO2 NPs are aggregated or dispersed.

A double layer model of the gas bubble/water interface.

Zeta potential is a physico-chemical parameter of particular importance to describe sorption of contaminants at the surface of gas bubbles. Nevertheless, the interpretation of electrophoretic mobilities of gas bubbles is complex. This is due to the specific behavior of the gas at interface and to the excess of electrical charge at interface, which is responsible for surface conductivity.

Associations between alveolar heights and vertical skeletal pattern in Moroccan adults: a cephalometric study of 127 clinical cases.

The aim of our study was to investigate vertical dentoalveolar compensation in untreated patients, in search of an association between vertical facial pattern and alveolar heights. This study involved the participation of 127 untreated Moroccan adults from the patient population of the ODF (Dentofacial Orthopedics) Department at the Center for Dental Treatment and Consultation (CCTD) in Rabat. Full adult dentition was the only criterion for inclusion.

Treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusions: orthognathic surgery or orthodontic camouflage? How to decide.

The choice of treatment in adult skeletal Class III occlusions often poses a particularly tricky problem for the orthodontist. Faced with the option of either orthodontic camouflage or orthognathic surgery, the clinician's clinical experience is of paramount importance, especially in borderline cases. The aim of our study was to uncover a guide model enabling the practitioner to distinguish between skeletal Class III cases which can be suitably treated with orthodontics and those requiring orthognathic surgery.

In-pore tensile stress by drying-induced capillary bridges inside porous materials.

We present here some evidences that capillary liquid bridges are able to deform micrometric cylindrical pores by tensile stress. Brine-soaked filter membranes are submitted to drying conditions leading to NaCl precipitation inside the 5-10 μm pores. A close examination demonstrated that two forms of NaCl crystallites are successively generated.

[Impact of the vertical dimension on the occlusal plane inclination in a Moroccan population].

This study was performed in order to investigate the influence of the vertical dimension on the occlusal plane angle. Cephalometric tracing were made from sideview headfilms from a sample of 150 patients consulting at the consultation and treatment center in Rabat, Morocco. This sample group included 60 males and 90 females.

[Clinical study of vertical dimension before and after orthodontic treatment in a Class II population].

The authors tried to highlight orthodontics only or mixed "orthopedics + orthodontics" repercussions about vertical dimensions while comparing the measurements before and after treatment done on teleradiographies of profile of 30 hyperdivergent and hypodivergent patients with skeletal class II. The clinical conclusions have been drawn after discussion of the results.

Weathering of a MSW bottom ash heap: a modelling approach.

Establishing plausible predictive scenarios represents a challenge for the long-term evolution of waste such as municipal solid waste bottom ash. These systems are characterized by complex and sometimes poorly understood physico-chemical mechanisms. The long term prediction of the evolution of such systems must be based on a dynamic approach involving their study in space and time.
