We study theoretically the interplay between magnetism and topology in three-dimensional HgTe/MnTe superlattices stacked along (001) axis. Our results show evolution of magnetic topological phases with respect to configurations. An axion insulator phase is observed for antiferromagnetic order out-of-plane N\'eel vector direction below a critical thickness MnTe, which ground state amongst all De...

Finite element analysis of a tubular T-joint subjected to various loading conditions including pure axial loading, pure in-plane bending (IPB) and different ratios of axial loading to in-plane bending loading has been carried out. This effort has been established to estimate magnitudes of the peak hot spot stresses (HSS) at the brace/chord intersection and to find the corresponding locations as...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to check the reliability of the five angular and two linear parameters for sagittal maxillo-mandibular discrepancy and to compare and correlate angular parameters with the ANB angle, and the linear parameter with Wits analysis. METHODS The pre-treatment and post-functional lateral cephalograms of 25 subjects (17 males, 8 females) with class II divi...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine potential predictors of functional instability of the knee and ankle joints during single-leg drop landing based on the prior history of injury. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 24 collegiate soccer players without pain or dysfunction. To compare the differences between the stable and unstable sides during single-leg drop landing, 8 m...

AIM Definitions of the ala-tragus line (ATL) cause confusion, because the exact points of reference for this line do not agree. This study determined the relationship between the prosthetic occlusal plane (OP) corresponding to the lateral borders of the tongue and ATL which was established by using the inferior border of the ala of the nose and (1) the superior border of the tragus (ATL 1), (2)...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the amount of preoperatively planned surgical movement of the maxilla and postoperatively obtained maxillary repositioning. Materials and Method: Thirty-one patients (16 female and 15 male) were included in this study. Fifteen combined maxillary advancement and impaction, 5 isolated maxillary impaction, and 11 isolated maxillary advan...

Methods: Two-dimensional kinematic gait pattern of 10 participants were collected before and after the TKR surgery, using a 60 Hz camcorder in sagittal plane. Then, the kinematic parameters were extracted using the gait data. A student t-test was used to compare the group-average of spatiotemporal and peak kinematic characteristics in the sagittal plane. The knee condition was also evaluated us...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate dentoskeletal effects of Herbst and Twin Block (TB) appliance therapies in Skeletal Class II malocclusion. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Herbst group consisted of 11 girls and 9 boys (mean age = 12.74 ± 1.43 years), TB group comprised of 10 girls and 10 boys (mean age = 13.0 ± 1.32 years), and control group included 9 girls and 11 boys (mean age = 12.17 ±...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to decide the most appropriate point on tragus to be used as a reference point at time of marking ala tragus line while establishing occlusal plane. MATERIALS AND METHODS THE DATA WAS COLLECTED IN TWO GROUPS OF SUBJECTS: 1) Dentulous 2) Edentulous group having sample size of 30 for each group with equal gender distribution (15 males, 15 females each). Dow...
