For the past 25 years, early growth modification of midfacial deficiency with expansion and facemask therapy has been the standard treatment for Class III malocclusions.1,2 A disadvantage of this ap proach is that it ...

In the title complex, [Ru(C6H14O2PS2)3], the coordination environment of the Ru(III) atom is distorted octa-hedral, defined by six S atoms from three S,S'-bidentate diisopropyl di-thio-phosphate ligands. The average Ru-S bond length is 2.41 (1) Å and the average S-Ru-S bite angle is 81.13 (19)°.

OBJECTIVE Larger food portions lead to increased intake but the mechanism behind this effect is unclear.

ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis was to study an action that humans perform regularly, namely, to hold a morsel between the teeth and split it into smaller pieces. Three different issues related to this biting behavior were addressed: (1) the effect of reduced periodontal tissues on food holding and splitting behavior; (2) the behavioral consequences of performing different bite tasks with dif...
