INTRODUCTION The orthodontic technique favored by a clinician frequently determines how a deep curve of Spee (COS) is leveled. The primary purpose of this investigation was to confirm radiographically the long-term effectiveness of a continuous archwire technique--the Alexander discipline--in leveling the COS in patients with Class II Division 1 deep-bite malocclusions treated without extractio...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed at comparing the distocervical angulations of upper second molars crowns of groups with normal occlusion and with Angle Classes I and II malocclusions. Additionally, it aimed to analyze the changes occurring after alignment and leveling performed with MBT technique. METHODS The sample of normal occlusions comprised 32 lateral teleradiographs, while the sample of mal...

Over the last 20 years, a large number of instruments have provided plasma density measurements in Earth's topside ionosphere. To utilize all collected observations for empirical modeling, it is necessary to ensure that they do not exhibit systematic differences and are adjusted same reference frame. In this study, we compare satellite from Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE), Constella...

Determination of the Earth’s gravity field and geopotential value is one fundamental topics in physical geodesy. Traditional terrestrial precise leveling measurements can be used to determine values at a local or regional scale. However, recent developments optical atomic clocks have not only rapidly improved science but also contributed applied research. The latest generation approaching accur...

Aims. To study cosmological models in scalar tensor theories of gravity with power law potentials as models of an accelerating universe. Methods. We consider cosmological models in scalar tensor theories of gravity that describe an accelerating universe, and we study a family of inverse power law potentials, for which exact solutions of the Einstein equations are known. We also compare theoreti...

It is well known that the most accurate method to detect changes of height is the geodetic precise leveling method. Due to the high demand work and time needed for precise leveling alternative methods are studied to obtain high quality height information. Differential SAR interferometry techniques such as the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) method are studied to detect millimeter leve...
