In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

BACKGROUND Scissor bite is a rare malocclusion that often leads to minor facial asymmetry. An orthodontic and orthopaedic correction is advisable in young patients to prevent subsequent temporomandibular diseases requesting maxillofacial intervention. CASE REPORT In this case report a 8-year-old girl in mixed dentition with unilateral left scissor bite was treated with a modified Rapid Palata...

Through the advent of surgical techniques and the improvement of laparoscopic tools including the ultrasonic activated scissor, laparoscopic gastrectomy has been increasingly used in far more cases of benign or malignant gastric lesions for the benefit of patients without compromising therapeutic outcomes. Even though possible complications provoked by the ultrasonic activated scissor can be pr...

The design, fabrication, and test of a new type of tactile display for the blind is reported. An array of piezoelectric extensional actuators vibrates in plane, and microfabricated scissor mechanisms convert the in-plane actuations into robust, higher-amplitude, out-of-plane vibrations. Information can be conveyed by varying the vibration patterns in space and time. Analytical and FEM models we...

We compute optical properties including excitonic effects for the equilibrium polymorphs of three group-II metal monoxides by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The underlying electronic structures are based on results of a recently developed GW approach starting from a hybrid exchange-correlation functional. The resulting quasiparticle band structures are discussed with respect to their mapp...

TRAİNİNG FOR SPECİAL EDUCATORS ON TEACHİNG CUTTİNG SKİLLS İN LAMPUNG. Scissor skills in children with special needs have challenges and problems for teachers schools. Children sensomotory often experience difficulty scissor skills. In fact, cutting plays a role training fine motor skills, especially writing. This activity aims to educate provide understanding school about teaching needs. The su...
