Self-Organised Criticality (SOC), embedded in cellular automata models, has been so far viewed as an attractive phenomenological approach for studying the statistical behaviour of flaring activity in solar active regions. Well-known statistical properties of flares, like the robust scaling laws seen in the distribution functions of characteristic parameters of the events, as well as correlation...

The amounts of apical enlargement have been a controversial issue for a long time. The enlargement of the apical part of the canal may severely impact the endodontic prognosis. Enlargement of the apical portion to a larger size may negatively affect the ability to control the filling material during root canal obturation. In addition, an open-apex increases the risk for overfilling which has be...

To better understand eruptive events in the solar corona, we combine sequences of multi-wavelength observations and modelling of the coronal magnetic field of NOAA AR 8210, a highly flare-productive active region. From the photosphere to the corona, the observations give us information about the motion of magnetic elements (photospheric magnetograms), the location of flares (e.g., Hα, EUV or so...

In this paper we attempt, for the first time, to simulate the magnetic activity of an accretion disc using a probabilistic cellular automaton model. Our model is based on three free parameters, the probabilities of spontaneous and stimulated generation of magnetic flux above the surface of the disc (S0, and, respectively, P ), and the probability of diffusive disappearance of flux below the sur...

We present the analysis and interpretation of an observation of the flare star AD Leo (dM3e) with the Low-Energy Transmission Grating of Chandra. The high resolution X-ray spectrum – dominated by emission lines from O VII–VIII, Ne IX–X, and Fe XVII–Fe XIX – allowed us to infer the plasma emission measure distribution (EMD) vs. temperature, and the abundances of individual elements in the corona...

INTRODUCTION Fearless removal of tooth structure during canal preparation and shaping has negative effects on the prognosis of treatment. On the other hand, sufficient pre-enlargement facilitates exact measurement of the apical size. The present in vitro study aimed to compare the efficacy of Gates-Glidden drills, K3, ProTaper, FlexMaster and RaCe instruments in dentin removal during coronal fl...
