FORCE DIRECTION USING MINISCREWS IN SLIDING MECHANICS DIFFERENTIALLY AFFECTED MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR RETRACTION: FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION AND TYPODONT MODEL

Force direction using miniscrews in sliding mechanics differentially affected maxillary central incisor retraction: Finite element simulation and typodont model

Background/purpose: En masse retraction was still controversy in orthodontics.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of force directions created by different miniscrew positions and lever arm heights on maxillary central incisor movement using Finite Element (FE) simulation and a Typodont model.Materials and methods: A typodont model a

On Obtaining Energy-Optimal Trajectories for Landing of UAVs

The optimization issues connected to a landing task of an unmanned aerial vehicle are discussed in the paper, based on a model of a mini-class drone.Three landing scenarios are considered, including minimum-time landing, landing with minimum energy consumption, and planned landing.With the use of classical dynamic programming techniques, including
