A consistent model of isolated force-free magnetic arches

The magnetic flux tube concentrating strong magnetic field is the basic configuration of magneticfield in the solar atmosphere. In the present paper, the equilibrium of isolated magnetic flux tube inthe solar atmosphere is discussed. In the viewpoint of mathematics, the boundary condition is nonlinearand the position of boundary needs to be determined by the physical condition although the equation ofmagnetic potential is linear for the linear force-free field. Analytical solutions to the arches of bothuniform circular cross-section and non-uniform cross section have been obtained. The results show thatthe nonlinear problem may have or not have any solution according to different azimuthal components of the magnetic field; the number of solutions to the nonlinear problem is four at most, and two in some cases. In the present paper, the analytical solutions to the approximations of both fat and slender arches are given in detail, and the general features of magnetic arch structure are shown.

Phylogénomique des Archées

Les transferts horizontaux de gènes (THG) ont été démontrés pour jouer un rôle important dans l'évolution des procaryotes. Leur impact a été le sujet de débats intenses, ceux-ci allant même jusqu'à l'abandon de l'arbre des espèces. Selon certaines études, un signal historique dominant est présent chez les procaryotes, puisque les transmissions horizontales stables et fonctionnelles semblent beaucoup plus rares que les transmissions verticales (des dizaines contre des milliards). Cependant, l'effet cumulatif des THG est non-négligeable et peut potentiellement affecter l'inférence phylogénétique. Conséquemment, la plupart des chercheurs basent leurs inférences phylogénétiques sur un faible nombre de gènes rarement transférés, comme les protéines ribosomales. Ceux-ci n'accordent cependant pas autant d'importance au modèle d'évolution utilisé, même s'il a été démontré que celui-ci est important lorsqu'il est question de résoudre certaines divergences entre ancêtres d'espèces, comme pour les animaux par exemple. Dans ce mémoire, nous avons utilisé des simulations et analyser des jeux de données d'Archées afin d'étudier l'impact relatif des THG ainsi que l'impact des modèles d'évolution sur la précision phylogénétique. Nos simulations prouvent que (1) les THG ont un impact limité sur les phylogénies, considérant un taux de transferts réaliste et que (2) l'approche super-matrice est plus précise que l'approche super-arbre. Nous avons également observé que les modèles complexes expliquent non seulement mieux les données que les modèles standards, mais peuvent avoir un impact direct sur différents groupes phylogénétiques et sur la robustesse de l'arbre obtenu. Nos résultats contredisent une publication récente proposant que les Thaumarchaeota apparaissent à la base de l'arbre des Archées.

Optimization in multi-implant placement for immediate loading in edentulous arches using a modified surgical template and prototyping: A case report

Immediate loading of dental implants shortens the treatment time and makes it possible to give the patient an esthetic appearance throughout the treatment period. Placement of dental implants requires precise planning that accounts for anatomic limitations and restorative goals. Diagnosis can be made with the assistance of computerized tomographic scanning, but transfer of planning to the surgical field is limited. Recently, novel CAD/CAM techniques such as stereolithographic rapid prototyping have been developed to build surgical guides in an attempt to improve precision of implant placement. The aim of this case report was to show a modified surgical template used throughout implant placement as an alternative to a conventional surgical guide.

Elasto-plastic structural stability of arches

The elastic-plastic structural stability behaviour of arches is analysed in the present work.The application of the developed mathematical model, allows to determine the elastic-plastic equilibrium paths, looking for critical points, bifurcation or limit, along those paths, associated to the critical load, in case it comes to happen.The equilibrium paths in the elastic-plastic behaviour when compared with the paths in the linear elastic behaviour, may show that, due to influence of the material plasticity, modifications paths appear and consequently alterations in the values of its critical loads.

Dental arches multi-projection system with semantic descriptions

This paper presents the development of an multi-projection stereoscopic dental arches application with semantic descriptions. The first section presents the concepts of the used technologies. Applications and examples are demonstrated. Finally, is presented the physical structure and the developed system, where a 3D dental arch is used as a model and can be viewed in multi-projection, thereby, providing greater user's immersion. ©2010 IEEE.
