The aims of this study were to compare dental and skeletal treatment changes in Class II division 1 malocclusions with two modes of maxillary control and two modes of bite-jumping. The subjects comprised Chinese children with severe Class II division 1 malocclusions, i.e. 21 consecutive subjects (13.4 +/- 1.4 years) treated with a headgear Herbst appliance and step-by-step advancement (HHSSA) o...

This study describes a new species, Crossotarsus beaveri Lai & Wang, sp. nov. , designates combination, C. brevis (Browne, 1975, comb. from Platypus Herbst, 1793), and notes record, emorsus Beeson, 1937, China. Genetic data four genes indicate that the species form clade clustered with other species. Molecular phylogeny morphological characters support their taxonomic placement.

Abstract: We give a simple development of the concentration properties of compound Poisson measures on the nonnegative integers. A new modification of the Herbst argument is applied to an appropriate modified logarithmic-Sobolev inequality to derive new concentration bounds. When the measure of interest does not have finite exponential moments, these bounds exhibit optimal polynomial decay. Sim...

Ich habe diesen Sommer mein Abi gemacht und möchte zum Herbst mit dem Studium beginnen – Informatik natürlich! Da es in meinem kleinen Ort keine Uni gibt, werde ich deshalb in Kürze umziehen müssen. Dann heißt es, all die tausend Sachen in meinen Schränken und Regalen in Umzugskartons zu verpacken. Um den Umzug möglichst kostengünstig zu gestalten, werde ich mich dabei bemühen, die Gegenstände ...
