The aim of this case report was to introduce an appliance for correcting severe rotation of anterior teeth in the mixed dentition period. A 9-year-old Iranian boy with a mixed dentition Class I malocclusion complained of a severely rotated of upper right central incisor. There was a mesiodens between the central incisors. The supernumerary tooth was first extracted and then a Whip appliance whi...

To assess the relation between childhood brain tumor occurrence and exposure to potential sources of residential magnetic fields, a population-based case-control study of incident brain tumors was conducted in the Seattle, Washington, area at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center from 1989 to 1994 among children younger than age 20 years who were diagnosed from 1984 to 1990. The specific a...

This study ascertained the influence of orthodontic appliances on subjective ratings for social competence (SC), intellectual ability (IA), psychological adjustment (PA), and attractiveness in young adult orthodontic patients. A cross-sectional analytical questionnaire study was conducted with 130 undergraduates from the UK. Each participant was asked to look at a single, randomly assigned colo...

The key advantage of smart meters over rotating-disc is their ability to transmit electric energy consumption data power utilities’ remote centers. Besides enabling the automated collection consumers’ for billing purposes, gathered by and analyzed through Artificial Intelligence (AI) make realization consumer-centric use cases possible. A meter installed in a domestic sector an electrical grid ...

Technological advancements, such as smart appliances, have enabled residential buildings to become a true Cyber-Physical System (CPS), where the devices correspond to the physical system and the smart computation and control mechanisms define the cyber part. An important aspect of these residential cyber-physical systems is their large portion of the overall energy consumption in the electric g...

This article describes the construction of the FR-3 appliance classically used in cases of Class III malocclusion characterized by maxillary skeletal retrusion. Included is a description of proper impression technique, construction bite registration, preparation of the work models, and a complete description of the fabrication of the FR-3 appliance. Specific steps in the clinical management of ...

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...

The loss of multiple primary molars in the primary or transitional dentition will, in many instances, lead to disturbances of the developing dentition. To prevent this, an appliance can be constructed to maintain the relationship of the remaining teeth and to guide the eruption of the developing teeth. Traditionally, the treatment of choice for maxillary loss is the placement of a Nance applian...

Network Appliance recently began shipping a new kind of network server called an NFS file server appliance, which is a dedicated server whose sole function is to provide NFS file service. The file system requirements for an NFS appliance are different from those for a general-purpose UNIX system, both because an NFS appliance must be optimized for network file access and because an appliance mu...

In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are active debates about whether increases in energy access should be driven by investments in electric grid infrastructure or small-scale “home solar” systems (e.g., solar lanterns and solar home systems). We summarize the results of a household electrical appliance survey and describe how households in rural Kenya differ in terms of appliance ownership and aspirat...
