background and aims: to obtain maximum advantages from orthodontic fixed appliances and to achieve the desired final occlusion, correct bracket positioning is highly necessary. in order to measure and determine bracket’s height, diverse gauges have been used. the objective of the present study is to determine and compare bracket positioning accuracy by using height bracket positioning gauge (hb...

The superconformal algebras of Ademollo et al are generalised to a multi-index form. The structure obtained is similar to the Moyal Bracket analogue of the Neveu-Schwarz Algebra.

background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare shear bond strength (sbs) of metal and ceramic brackets bonded to enamel using acid versus er:yag laser etching. materials and methods. eighty premolars were divided into 4 groups: am (acid etching/ metal brackets), ac (acid etching/ ceramic brackets), lm (laser etching/ metal brackets) and lc (laser etching/ ceramic brackets). enamel co...

The infinite limit of Matrix Theory in 4 and 10 dimensions is described in terms of Moyal Brackets. In those dimensions there exists a Bogomolni’y bound to the Euclideanized version of these equations, which guarantees that solutions of the first order equations also solve the second order Matrix Theory equations. A general construction of such solutions in terms of a representation of the targ...

  Objective: Corrosion resistance is among the most important properties of metal alloys used in the oral cavity. Consumption of acidic foods reduces the salivary pH and intensifies the corrosion of brackets and orthodontic wires. This study aimed to compare electro galvanic corrosion of different orthodontic brackets and wires and determine the amount of ions released into acidic artifici...

We show that for the Kauffman bracket skein module over the field of rational functions in variable A, the module of a connected sum of 3-manifolds is the tensor product of modules of the individual manifolds.

Considering the scattering of massless open strings attached to a D-string living in the B field background, we show that corresponding scattering upto the order of α ′2 is exactly given by the gauge theory on noncommutative background, which is characterized by the Moyal bracket. 1 Introduction After the novel work of Witten [1], it was realized that the low energy dynamics of open
