Analytical modeling and tolerance analysis of a linear variable filter for spectral order sorting.

This paper proposes an innovative method to overcome the low production rate of current linear variable filter (LVF) fabrication. During the fabrication process, a commercial coater is combined with a local mask on a substrate. The proposed analytical thin film thickness model, which is based on the geometry of the commercial coater, is developed to more effectively calculate the profiles of LVFs.

Finite element analysis of dental implant neck effects on primary stability and osseointegration in a type IV bone mandible.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of implant neck design and cortical bone thickness by means of 3-D linearly elastic finite element analysis and to analyze primary and secondary stability of clinical evidence based on micromotion and principal stress. Four commercial dental implants, comparable in size, for a type IV bone and mandibular segments were created. Various parameters were considered, including the osseointegration condition (non- and full bonded), force direction (vertical and horizontal) and cortical bone thickness (0.

[On mistakes in contemporary literatures of extra points in China].

Contemporary literatures which are taken as the base of literature study of extra points are insufficient and lack of reliability. The foundation of study is very weak. Based on abundant firsthand materials, analyses are made on the major problems of confounded names and locations, unclear quotation and source of reference in the study of contemporary literatures of extra points.

[Study on the title of Chongbian Yijingxiaoxue].

Chongbian Yijingxiaoxue was compiled by Jitian Zongxun in 1590 - 1610. The existing editions included a carved edition and copied edition, then came the photocopy. There was a chapter entitled 'Loujing Xuefa' which recorded 29 extrameridian points.

[False dissemination of "treatment of hemorrhoids by acupuncture of Kongzui (LU 6)" and its unfavorable influence on modern acupuncture].

"Treatment of hemorrhoids by acupuncture of Kongzui (LU 6)" has been considered to be an example of new discovery in current clinical acupuncture practice and has produced a significant influence on domestic and foreign textbooks of acupuncturology and the health care of the people. After comprehensively analyzing this known saying, it was found that the so-called "new discovery" which has been inherited for decades of years is in fact derived from incorrect dissemination, being lack of evidence of both literature and clinical practice.

[Texture research on the circulating editions and it's composition of Dou tai shi zhen jing (the acupuncture canon of Dou tai shi)].

Dou tai shi zhen jing (the acupuncture canon of Dou tai shi) was an ancient book of acupuncture and moxibustion of Yuan dynasty which had two kinds of transcript of Qing dynasty and the Republic of China. The transcript of Qing dynasty entitled "Mi chao yang shi jia chuan zhen jing tu" (The secret note of acupuncture canon picture of Yang's family heritage). The transcript of the Republic of China was copied together with Yu long ge, so entitled Yu long ge.
