Influência do laser de baixa intensidade na movimentação e na ancoragem ortodôntica por meio de tomografia computadorizada

Este estudo avaliou os efeitos do laser de baixa intensidade na velocidade de movimentação ortodôntica dos caninos durante a fase de retratação e na ancoragem dos molares por meio de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Foram selecionados 21 pacientes que necessitavam de extração de primeiros pré-molares sendo que 15 apresentavam maloclusão de classe I de Angle e 6 classe II de Angle. Foram avaliados 72 caninos e 72 molares , sendo 72 molares, sendo 42 caninos e 42 molares superiores, e 30 caninos e 30 molares inferiores. A retratação inicial dos caninos foi realizada com arco segmentado 0,014, por mio de mola de níquel titâneo com uma força de 150 g. Um dos caninos foi irradiado com laser de diodo, com o protocolo de aplicação de 0nm/40mW/10J/cm2/04,J por ponto, sendo cinco pontos por vestibular e cinco pontos por lingual na região radicular , totalizando Et=4J. Esta aplicação foi realizada no dia em que foi ativada a mola de retratação, sendo que no canino contralateral foi realizada uma simulação (placebo). Decorridos trinta dias em média, houve nova ativação da mola e aplicação do laser no mesmo canino já irradiado.(AU)

Mean field methods for classification with Gaussian processes

We discuss the Application of TAP mean field methods known from Statistical Mechanics of disordered systems to Bayesian classification with Gaussian processes. In contrast to previous applications, no knowledge about the distribution of inputs is needed. Simulation results for the Sonar data set are given.

Role of lipid-mobilising factor (LMF) in protecting tumour cells from oxidative damage

Lipid-mobilising factor (LMF) is produced by cachexia-inducing tumours and is involved in the degradation of adipose tissue, with increased oxidation of the released fatty acids through an induction of uncoupling protein (UCP) expression. Since UCP-2 is thought to be involved in the detoxification of free radicals if LMF induced UCP-2 expression in tumour cells, it might attenuate free radical toxicity. As a model system we have used MAC13 tumour cells, which do not produce LMF. Addition of LMF caused a concentration-dependent increase in UCP-2 expression, as determined by immunoblotting. This effect was attenuated by the β3 antagonist SR59230A, suggesting that it was mediated through a β3 adrenoreceptor. Co-incubation of LMF with MAC13 cells reduced the growth-inhibitory effects of bleomycin, paraquat and hydrogen peroxide, known to be free radical generators, but not chlorambucil, an alkylating agent. There was no effect of LMF alone on cellular proliferation. These results indicate that LMF antagonises the antiproliferative effect of agents working through a free radical mechanism, and may partly explain the unresponsiveness to the chemotherapy of cachexia-inducing tumours. © 2004 Cancer Research UK.

Sequential grouping of pure-tone percepts evoked by the segregation of components from a complex tone

A sudden change applied to a single component can cause its segregation from an ongoing complex tone as a pure-tone-like percept. Three experiments examined whether such pure-tone-like percepts are organized into streams by extending the research of Bregman and Rudnicky (1975). Those authors found that listeners struggled to identify the presentation order of 2 pure-tone targets of different frequency when they were flanked by 2 lower frequency “distractors.” Adding a series of matched-frequency “captor” tones, however, improved performance by pulling the distractors into a separate stream from the targets. In the current study, sequences of discrete pure tones were substituted by sequences of brief changes applied to an otherwise constant 1.2-s complex tone. Pure-tone-like percepts were evoked by applying 6-dB increments to individual components of a complex comprising harmonics 1–7 of 300 Hz (Experiment 1) or 0.5-ms changes in interaural time difference to individual components of a log-spaced complex (range 160–905 Hz; Experiment 2). Results were consistent with the earlier study, providing clear evidence that pure-tone-like percepts are organized into streams. Experiment 3 adapted Experiment 1 by presenting a global amplitude increment either synchronous with, or just after, the last captor prior to the 1st distractor. In the former case, for which there was no pure-tone-like percept corresponding to that captor, the captor sequence did not aid performance to the same extent as previously. It is concluded that this change to the captor-tone stream partially resets the stream-formation process, and so the distractors and targets became likely to integrate once more.

Competitors are welcome: why incumbents might embrace entrants?

In this article we show that the price and the profit of an incumbent firm may increase after a new firm enters its market. Our analysis suggests that a well-established firm after competition emerges on its market might benefit from excluding some consumers from the low-end segment and concentrate only on its loyal consumers.
