The aim of this clinical trial was to compare the hard- and soft-tissue effects of 15 month full-time functional appliance therapy with Twin Block (TB) and Dynamax (Dx) appliances. The effects on both hard and soft tissue were analysed using cephalograms and three-dimensional optical surface laser scans. One hundred and three subjects with a class II division 1 malocclusion, and a minimum overj...

Time-resolved photoluminescence ~PL! spectroscopy has been used to study the radiative recombination of excitons bound to ionized donors in GaN doped with both Mg and Si at concentrations of 5310/cm and 1.5310/cm, respectively. Low temperature (T;10K) time-resolved, as well as integrated PL spectra, identify an ionized donor-bound ~Si! exciton peak (DX) approximately 11.5 meV below and a neutra...

In this present paper, we study the entanglement dynamics in qubit A-qutrit B pair under x component of Dzyaloshinshkii–Moriya interaction (Dx) by taking an auxiliary qubit C. Here, we consider an entangled qubit-qutrit pair initially prepared in two parameter qubit-qutrit states and one auxiliary qubit prepared in pure state interacts with the qutrit of the pair through DM interaction. We trac...

Let OX (resp. DX) be the sheaf of holomorphic functions (resp. the sheaf of linear differential operators with holomorphic coefficients) on X = C. Let D ⊂ X be a locally weakly quasi-homogeneous free divisor defined by a polynomial f . In this paper we prove that, locally, the annihilating ideal of 1/f over DX is generated by linear differential operators of order 1 (for k big enough). For this...

Objective: To compare the prognosis estimated by standard prognostic criteria versus the prognosis estimated by the Oncotype DX. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 22 patients with positive estrogen receptor, early-stage breast cancer who had an Oncotype DX recurrence score available. Results: Kappa value between Oncotype DX and standard prognostic criteria was: Adjuvant! (K = 0.09...

Duality and the Wu classes. The “Spanier-Whitehead dual” of a spectrum X is the function spectrum (in which S denotes the sphere spectrum) DX = F (X,S) (which exists by Brown representability). It comes equipped with an “evaluation” pairing DX ∧X → S. Write H∗(−) for homology with F2 coefficients. If X is finite, then the induced pairing H−∗(DX)⊗H∗(X)→ F2 is perfect, so there is an isomorphism ...

Let G be a real connected Lie group with polynomial volume growth, endowed with its Haar measure dx. Given a C positive function M on G, we give a sufficient condition for an L Poincaré inequality with respect to the measure M(x)dx to hold on G. We then establish a non-local Poincaré inequality on G with respect to M(x)dx.

A 69-year-old man without cardiovascular risk factors was admitted to our hospital with unstable angina. After 48 hours he underwent coronary angiography, showing severe disease of mid left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and proximal segment of the first diagonal (DX) (Figure 1A). Balloon predilation was performed in LAD and 2 bioresorbable everolimus-eluting (3 28 mm and 3.5 28 mm) ...

In this paper, an energy system consisting of solar collector, biogas dry reforming reactor and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been proposed. The heat produced from the concentrating collector is used to drive a in order produce H2 as for SOFC, such system. aim study clarify impact climate data on performance with various sizes/designs. temperature transfer fluid by calculated adopting Nagoya...

We evaluated the ability of a short course of treatment with the ribonucleotide reductase (RR) inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU) and two novel RR inhibitors Trimidox (TX) and Didox (DX) to influence late-stage murine retrovirus-induced lymphoproliferative disease. LPBM5 murine leukaemia virus retrovirus-infected mice were treated daily with HU, TX or DX for 4 weeks, beginning 9 weeks post-infection, a...
