Article Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the validity of different vertical parameters in cephalometry.

Materials And Methods: The cephalograms of 94 patients were used in this study. The inclusion criteria were as follows: skeletal Class I, completion of maximum skeletal growth, and no history of orthodontic therapy. The control group consisted of 34 subjects with very good occlusion (overbite 2-4 mm). The patients were classified with the help of dental casts: Group 1 (n = 31) patients with cover-bite (overbite > 5.5 mm) and Group 2 (n = 29) patients with anterior open bite (overbite < -0.5 mm). In addition to the 24 standard cephalometric measurements (Bergen-Analysis), we included individualized norm values (Segner & Hasund), the Overbite Depth Indicator (ODI) described by Kim, the Denture Frame Analysis (DFA) described by Sato, and facial-type evaluations according to Schopf.

Results: We observed significant differences among the three study groups in all the vertical parameters tested. We demonstrated statistically-significant classification results for the Segner & Hasund harmony box's individualized norm values (83.8%), and those of the ODI (77.7%) and ML-AB angle (76.6%).

Conclusions: Based on the vertical cephalometric parameters, we succeeded in statistically differentiating among the groups with open bite, cover-bite and the control group. Various measurements must be taken to ensure that the cephalometric vertical relationships are reliably evaluated.

Accurate statistical modeling of wind speed variability is crucial for assessing wind energy potential, particularly in regions with low wind speeds and significant calm hours. This study evaluates the Champernowne distribution as a novel model for wind speed analysis, comparing its performance with the two-parameter Weibull, three-parameter Weibull, and Rayleigh-Rice distributions. Wind speed data at 10 m hub height over three years (2021-2023) from Ben Guerir, Morocco, were analyzed using statistical metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Bias Error (MBE), Coefficient of Determination (R2), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC).

Topological Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconducting quantum rings.

Abstract: Quantum rings have emerged as a playground for quantum mechanics and topological physics, with promising technological applications. Experimentally realizable quantum rings, albeit at the scale of a few nanometers, are 3D nanostructures. Surprisingly, no theories exist for the topology of the Fermi sea of quantum rings, and a microscopic theory of superconductivity in nanorings is also missing.
