The pantograph is the main noise source of high-speed trains, which middle and upper parts account for about 50% whole energy. Taking CRH380BL as basic prototype, three aerodynamic reduction measures opening, slotting, airfoil are introduced to build a new pantograph, their aeroacoustic performances comprehensively investigated through large eddy simulation (LES) Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW-H)...

 Abstract Reports have shown that molars can be distalized successfully with virtually no orthodontic anchorage loss with an intraosseous anchorage, even with fully erupted second molars. The purpose of this study was evaluating the effects of mini-screws as skeletal anchorage for upper molar distalization. In this case series, three patients needing maxillary first molar distalization,...
