The aim of this study was to clarify the dentoskeletal treatment effects induced by a preorthodontic trainer appliance treatment on Class II, division 1 cases. Twenty patients (10 girls and 10 boys, mean age 9.6 +/- 1.3 years) with a Class II, division 1 malocclusion were treated with preorthodontic trainer appliances (Myofunctional Research Co., Queensland, Australia). The patients were instru...

The problems of heredity are intimately related to the two critical stages in the life cycle of the higher organisms, the reduction divisions of sporogenesis in plants and of gametogenesis in animals, and the cytological processes of fertilization. The first of these has received much attention and is generally considered to be closely correlated with the segregation of the factors which determ...

A high-speed triangular-modulated spread-spectrum clock generator using a fractional phase-locked loop is presented. The fractional division is implemented by a nested fractional topology, which is constructed from a dual-modulus divide-by-(N–1/16)/N divider to divide the VCO outputs as a first division period and a fractional control circuit to establish a second division period to cause the o...

Dis3 encodes a conserved RNase that degrades or processes all RNA species via an N-terminal PilT N terminus (PIN) domain and C-terminal RNB domain that harbor, respectively, endonuclease activity and 3'-5' exonuclease activity. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, dis3 mutations cause chromosome missegregation and failure in mitosis, suggesting dis3 promotes cell division. In humans, apparently hypomo...

We report an approach to position gold nanoparticle catalysts for metal reduction asymmetrically on a biological template (E. coli) by exploiting the polarity of the bacterial cell envelope undergoing growth and division.

One of the main disadvantages of Orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) is high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). The clipping method of PAPR reduction is analyzed in this article.

in future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (otdm) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. in this paper we propose a self-routing otdm node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

we give a new proof of the well known wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite‎ ‎division ring is commutative‎. ‎we apply the concept of frobenius kernel in frobenius representation theorem in finite group‎ ‎theory to build a proof‎.
