Authors: ARAPİ Mendi , MUTLU Reşat
Published: July 2022

Fractional order circuit elements are being examined by researchers unremittingly. They are ever becoming more popular in the literature. The Conformable Fractional Derivative has been proposed and gained importance in the last decade. Examination of an LC tank circuit or an LC oscillator can be found in almost all undergrad physics books. There’s a considerable number of studies on fractional-order capacitor circuits but, to the best of our knowledge, examination of an oscillator made of a linear time-invariant inductor and a supercapacitor modeled with Conformable Fractional Derivative has not been found in literature. In this paper, a lossless oscillator circuit containing a linear time-invariant inductor and a supercapacitor modeled with Conformable Fractional Derivative is examined for the first time in the literature. Natural response of the circuit has been found analytically. Its behavior has been illustrated with simulations for different initial conditions.

Published: July 2022

Background: Considering the late ossification potential of spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS), it can be used as a tool to estimate age in adolescents. The time of SOS fusion is known to vary in different populations. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the degree of SOS fusion in Iranian individuals, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Patients and Methods: The CBCT images of 240 patients (126 females and 114 males), aged 6 - 25 years, were assessed regarding the degree of SOS fusion, based on a four-stage scoring system. Spearman’s correlation coefficient test and regression analysis were performed to assess the correlation between age and fusion stage. Mann-Whitney test was also applied to determine differences between males and females. Besides, Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess differences in the median values. Results: The SOS was completely open at the mean age of 7.63 years in females and 8.85 years in males. The mean age of partially fused SOS (stage 1) was 8 years in females and 10 years in males. Besides, the mean age of completely fused SOS (stage 3) was 12 years in females and 16 years in males. The results of Spearman’s correlation coefficient test showed a significant positive relationship between age and the degree of SOS fusion in males and females (rs = 0.783, P < 0.001 in females and rs = 0.911, P < 0.001 in males). Conclusion: The SOS closure degree can be applied for age estimation in the Iranian population. This study presented a method which is highly accurate for age estimation.
