Experimental and theoretical investigations of isomerization reactions of ionized acetone and its dimer.

Ionization dynamics of acetone and its dimer in supersonic jets is investigated by a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques, both of which have recently been developed. In experiments, the neutral and the cationic structures are explored by infrared predissociation spectroscopy with the vacuum-ultraviolet photoionization detection schemes. Reaction paths following the one-photon ionization of the acetone monomer and its dimer have been studied by the joint use of several theoretical methods including the ab initio molecular dynamics, the global reaction route mapping, the intrinsic reaction coordinate, and the artificial force induced reaction calculations.

Course of fracture line in sagittal splitting of human mandible.

We performed sagittal splitting osteotomy using fresh, unfixed cadavers. Observation was carried out macroscopically and with light microscopy and 3-dimensionally reconstructed images. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the fracture line and the Haversian canal and Haversian lamellae.
