the routine treatment for rotated maxillary incisor is a fi xed appliance, but in some instance the use of this method is impossible. in addition, in only limited cases of rotation, removable appliance is applicable. in this study, the use of a semi-removable appliance is presented, which has some benefi ts over the other methods. in this study, the corrections of about 70 -90° rotation of the ...

Introduction: Space maintenance in primary dentition in patients with early loss of several primary molars is a clinical challenge for pedodontists. In these cases, the conventional distal shoe appliance cannot be used and the efficacy of removable appliances is questionable. Thus, appliances with special designs providing increased patient acceptance and optimal efficacy are required in these ...

China is still in the midst of digital transformation revolution. The Internet and advanced mobile communication channels have a profound influence on people’s daily life. e-commerce boosts economy as platform innovation ecosystem establishment. Even though during COVID-19, online consumption has major contribution to stabilizing whole economy. post-pandemic era forces retail industry other rel...

As much as half of the energy used in home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system can have a big effect on utility bills. Saving energy at home also can help to protect the environment. It is at this critical moment that semiconductor suppliers are playing an important role in developing technologies that improve energy eff...

Power management in homes and offices requires appliance usage prediction when the future user requests are not available. The randomness and uncertainties associated with an appliance usage make the prediction of appliance usage from energy consumption data a non-trivial task. A general model for prediction at the appliance level is still lacking. In this work, we propose to enrich learning al...

We address the problem of forecasting the usage of multiple electrical appliances by domestic users, with the aim of providing suggestions about the best time to run appliances in order to reduce carbon emissions and save money (assuming time-ofuse pricing), while minimising the impact on the users’ daily habits. An important challenge related to this problem is the modelling the everyday routi...

© 2013 Zhuang Zhao et al. 677 In this paper, we first introduce a general architecture of an energy management system in a home area network based on a smart grid. Then, we propose an efficient scheduling method for home power usage. The home gateway (HG) receives the demand response (DR) information indicating the real-time electricity price, which is transferred to an energy management contro...
