(Internal) transformations on the space Sigma of automaton configurations are defined as bi-infinite sequences of permutations of the cell symbols. A pair of transformations (gamma,theta) is said to be an internal symmetry of a cellular automaton f:Sigma-->Sigma if f=theta(-1)fgamma. It is shown that the full group of internal symmetries of an automaton f can be encoded as a group homomorphism F such that theta=F(gamma). The domain and image of the homomorphism F have, in general, infinite order and F is presented by a local automaton-like rule. Algorithms to compute the symmetry homomorphism F and to classify automata by their symmetries are presented. Examples on the types of dynamical implications of internal symmetries are discussed in detail. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

High resolution infrared spectra of water-CO dimers are further studied using tunable infrared sources to probe a pulsed slit jet supersonic expansion. The relatively weak transition of DO-CO in the DO ν fundamental region (≈2760 cm) is observed for the first time, as are various spectra of DO-CO. Combination bands involving the intermolecular in plane geared bend (disrotatory) mode are observed for HO-CO (≈1642, 2397 cm) in the HO ν and CO ν regions, for HDO-CO (≈2761 cm) in the HDO ν region, and for DO-CO (≈2386, 2705 and 2821 cm) in the CO ν, DO ν, and DO ν regions.

Article Synopsis
  • Up to 27% of ACL reconstructions show ongoing instability, affecting athletes' ability to return to sports and increasing injury risks, leading researchers to compare isolated ACL repairs versus those combined with ALL reconstruction.
  • An observational study with 236 patients narrowed down to 74 ACL and 37 ACL+ALL participants was conducted to evaluate knee stability and surgical outcomes, using methods like paired score matching for pseudo-randomization.
  • Results indicated that ALL reinforcement improved pivot shift test outcomes (p=0.007), but no significant differences were found in other assessments, including pain, complications, and return to sports performance.

Objective: To develop an original-mirror alignment associated deep learning algorithm for intelligent registration of three-dimensional maxillofacial point cloud data, by utilizing a dynamic graph-based registration network model (maxillofacial dynamic graph registration network, MDGR-Net), and to provide a valuable reference for digital design and analysis in clinical dental applications.

Methods: Four hundred clinical patients without significant deformities were recruited from Peking University School of Stomatology from October 2018 to October 2022. Through data augmentation, a total of 2 000 three-dimensional maxillofacial datasets were generated for training and testing the MDGR-Net algorithm.

Purpose: Preoperative virtual planning and osteosynthesis with patient-specific implants (PSIs) have become a quotidian approach to many maxillofacial elective surgery setups. When a process is well-organized, a similar approach can be harnessed to serve the needs of exact primary reconstructions, especially in midfacial trauma cases. PSI osteosynthesis of the mandible is, however, more challenging because a mirror technique of the facial sides is often unreliable due to inherent lack of symmetry, and movement of the mandible increases the risk of loosening of the osteosynthesis.
