Einführung in die LH-Kieferorthopädie
Authors: Huang Eric Chun-yi , Yu Kenko Jian-hong 
Published: October 2023

ZusammenfassungLH (low hysteresis; gering hysteretisch) ist ein neu entwickelter, verbesserter
Bogendraht aus einer superelastischen Ti-Ni-Legierung (entwickelt von der Tokyo
Medical and Dental University). Üblicherweise wird die Behandlung mit
einem LH-Bogen als LH-Kieferorthopädie bezeichnet. Das Konzept der
LH-Korrektur „mit nur einem Draht bis zum Ende“ ist der Kern der
LH-Kieferorthopädie. Bei einem LH handelt es sich um einen
„rechteckigen“ Bogendraht aus einer Ti 53%-Ni
47%-Legierung. Bei einer Behandlung im Rahmen der
LH-Kieferorthopädie kommt nahezu kein Draht mit rundem Querschnitt zum
Einsatz. Der rechteckige LH-Bogen wird vom ersten Tag bis zum Ende der
Behandlung verwendet. In den bisherigen Behandlungskonzepten wurde die
Behandlung immer vom Runddraht zum Rechteckdraht durchgeführt, wobei der
Schwerpunkt zunächst auf der Ausrichtung und danach auf der Kontrolle
der Zahnwurzeln lag. Der LH-Bogen ist ein weicher, rechteckiger Draht, der vom
ersten Tag an versucht, die Ausrichtung der Zähne zusammen mit der
Kontrolle der Zahnwurzeln durchzuführen.
Eine vergleichende In-vitro-Studie zur Haftfestigkeit von mit Kleber
vorbeschichteten und nicht vorbeschichteten Brackets
Authors: Wendl Thomas , Wendl Brigitte 
Published: October 2023

ZusammenfassungIn dieser Arbeit wurde die Haftfestigkeit vorbeschichteter Brackets mit Brackets,
bei denen der Kleber erst beim Bonding auf die Bracketbasis aufgebracht wird,
verglichen. Die Haftfestigkeit der geklebten Brackets am Schmelz wurde mittels
Abscherversuche mit einer Instronmessmaschine (Vorschubgeschwindigkeit
0,5 mm/Min) ermittelt und der am Schmelz verbliebene
Kleberanteil mit dem modifizierten Adhesive Remnant Index=ARI
(Stereomikroskop der Fa. Zeiss) bestimmt. Die Auswertung erfolgte mit dem
SPSS-Programm. Beim Vergleich zweier Mittelwerte wurde der T-Test für
unabhängige Stichproben angewandt und das Signifikanzniveau auf
p<0,05 festgelegt. In beiden Gruppen konnte die von Reynolds geforderte
Mindesthaftfestigkeit von 5–8 MPa erreicht werden, einen
signifikanten Unterschied gab es nur bei den Unterkieferfrontzähnen.
ARI-Index: In 20 von 30 Fällen blieb in der Gruppe ohne
Kleberbeschichtung>90% des Klebers auf der
Schmelzoberfläche. Das APC System zeigte auch ein ähnliches
Frakturmuster, dennoch war ein etwas besserer Verbund Kleber /
Bracketbasis zu erkennen.

Published: October 2023

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDer Klimawandel, globale Umweltveränderungen und die Globalisierung führen weltweit aufgrund von Veränderungen der Verbreitungsgebiete, vermehrten Spillover-Ereignissen und einem gesteigerten Übertragungsrisiko zu einer Zunahme mancher Infektionskrankheiten. Besonders vektorübertragene Krankheiten sind betroffen, da sich Vektor- und Wirtspopulationen den sich ändernden Bedingungen anpassen. Steigende Temperaturen und eine Zunahme der Luftfeuchtigkeit begünstigen vielfach die Vermehrung von u. a. Zecken und Mücken, was das Risiko für Dengue-, Zika-, West-Nil- und Chikungunya-Virus-Infektionen sowie Borreliose und Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis (FSME) in Europa erhöht. Auch Sandmücken, die Leishmaniose übertragen, breiten sich verstärkt in Mittelmeerländern aus. Angesichts des wachsenden Infektionsrisikos verschiedener Erkrankungen sind verstärkte Maßnahmen zur Prävention und Überwachung von vektorübertragenen Infektionskrankheiten in Europa geboten.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis research stems from the disturbing phenomenon known as digital transformation and the colossal data creation. A vast amount of data has been produced as a result of increased usage of digital technologies to generate commercial value. However, data does not hold any value, so organizations are motivated to invest in data analytics and make informed decisions to enhance their performance. Against this backdrop, this study investigates the impact of data-driven decision-making (DDDM) on productivity in the presence of data analytics capability of Pakistan’s banking sector. We explore this link based on innovation diffusion theory using Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Square. A composite index of DDDM was developed based on primary data collected through online survey. This index is then regressed on actual productivity measures for 2016–2020. The findings suggest that banks exploiting analytics and adopting DDDM methods results in an increase in productivity of about 9–10%. It further indicates that DDDM adoption with an investment in data analytics leads to enhanced productivity.
The impact of war on insurer safety: a contingent claim model analysis

Published: October 2023

AbstractDetermining the optimal guaranteed rate of life insurance policies can effectively promote sustainable societies and disaster-resilient communities in times of war. Nevertheless, such strategic coverage remains uncommon in many countries. This article presents a capped-down-and-out call option model to assess life insurers’ safety during conflicts. Wars may lead to reduced life insurance businesses due to lower guaranteed rates set by insurers, yet they can also improve insurer safety within an imperfectly competitive insurance market. By increasing the surrender rate of the policy associated with reducing the optimal guarantee rate, the insurer’s security is improved, thereby contributing to the stability of the overall insurance. Our findings suggest setting guaranteed rates is critical to asset-liability matching management, especially in wartime, to maintain insurance stability.
Geopolitics, conflict, and decoupling: evidence of Western divestment from Russia during 2022

Published: October 2023

AbstractHow foreign firms doing business in Russia responded to the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has received extensive media scrutiny. Publication lags in official and private databases on international corporate activity, traditionally used to investigate cross-national commercial ties, preclude short-term assessments of foreign firms’ responses. However, as geopolitical events unfold quickly, such assessments can offer valuable insights. In this paper, we advocate for and implement a replicable, near-time methodology that is executed at arms-length to track foreign corporate responses to geopolitical events which can inform both academic debate and policy deliberation. We apply it to the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict, estimating Western corporate divestment rates from Russia during the first 9 months of the conflict. Our findings, confirmed by extensive robustness checks, result in divestment rates in the range of 5–13%. This range is interpreted in light of the prevailing sanctions regime as well as the divestment rate witnessed after Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014. We also discuss the competing, often policy-induced, incentives facing international business during a time of growing geopolitical rivalry and draw implications for the design of sanctions regimes. Avenues for future research are also outlined.
Geometric circuit analysis
Authors: Hong Seok-In 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Smith rectangle symbolises the resistor and its width, height, aspect ratio, and area represent the current through, the voltage across, the resistance of, and the power dissipated in the resistor, respectively. In this article, the mosaic of rectangles (MOR) is introduced as a geometric approach to connected planar resistive network circuits with an ideal voltage source. In the MOR, the geometric Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws are expressed as width and height conservations, respectively and are automatically satisfied. Four basic circuits are considered as applications of geometric circuit analysis. Resistors in series and in parallel are analysed using the MOR, and the effect of changing one resistor is visualised by superposing the initial and new MORs. The effect of loading an unloaded voltage divider with a parallel resistor is also visualised. The Wheatstone bridge is explored as an example of rather complicated resistive networks and the consistency of the assumed current directions, the shape of the MOR, and the geometric Kirchhoff’s laws is discussed. The geometric and game-like circuit analysis would be beneficial to high school and university students as well as their teachers.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Currently, silicon carbide (SiC) is of enormous concern because of its high compressive strength,high thermal conductivity, high thermal shock resistance and small coefficient of thermal expansion. SiC has its applicability in armored vehicles, hypersonic armaments, and bullet-resistant armours in the future. The current focus is on understanding the behavior of SiC as used in laminated ceramic armours during the ballistic impact for its profound use in armoured vehicles. To achieve these objectives, computational simulations have been performed for the aforementioned materials using ANSYS/AUTODYN. It was concluded that when SiC was used as a front layer in laminated armours, it significantly increased the strength of the material against the hitting projectiles. The aforementioned composite material was even successful against the sniper gun projectile. The optimized thickness for the given configuration was found to be 41 mm with the consideration of approximately 50% depth of penetration. The modeled configuration was found to be approximately nine times stronger than the conventional laminated armours. The current study was compared with the previous experimental studies and the results were in good agreement. This agreement solely pertains to the pattern observed and not to individual values. It indicated the difference in % age DOP for the present research and previous studies with the increasing thickness of laminated armour. The trend observed was nearly similar to previous experimental studies. This showed that the DOP was reduced, as the thickness increased. Moreover, the previous studies showed that only ALON (aluminium-oxynitride) and sapphire had the required strength to act as a hard front-faced layer in laminated glass, but the current study improvised it to a Silicon carbide hard front-faced layer also.

AbstractThe anisotropies of the Cosmological Gravitational Wave Background (CGWB) retain information about the primordial mechanisms that source the gravitational waves and about the geometry and the particle content of the universe at early times. In this work, we discuss in detail the computation of the angular power spectra of CGWB anisotropies and of their cross correlation with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, assuming different processes for the generation of these primordial signals. We present an efficient implementation of our results in a modified version ofCLASSwhich will be publicly available. By combining our new codeGW_CLASSwithMontePython, we forecast the combined sensitivity of future gravitational wave interferometers and CMB experiments to the cosmological parameters that characterize the cosmological gravitational wave background.
Structural Performance of Buildings with Tension-Only Braced Frame Under Seismic Loading
Authors: Kusumastuti D , Maura F I 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In accordance with SNI 1726-2019, structures with tension-only braced frames (ToBF) can be used as seismic force-resisting systems for seismic design category (SDC) A to C, with a height of up to 10m. Limited study was done on this subject, hence a numerical study was conducted to better understand the structural performance. The models studied were of regular structures of SDC D, varying in height. The analyses used modal response spectrum analysis (MRSA) for design, and linear response history analysis (LRHA) to evaluate the response. Finally, pushover analyses were conducted to determine the structural performance levels. The study shows that structural design can be done for all models using MRSA, satisfying all requirements. When evaluated using LRHA, results reveal that requirements were not satisfied for structures with heights exceeding 10m. Analysis when reviewed using pushover analysis, results show that the performance levels for all buildings are Immediate Occupancy. However, for models with height exceeding 10m, first yielding occurs at a lower base shear than the design base shear, indicating that the value of R used may not be adequate. Further review reveals that the ToBF can be used as a seismic force-resisting system, with proper design and arrangements.
Seismic Performance of Ordinary and Damage-tolerant Concrete Beam-column Joints under Reversed Cyclic Loading

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The adoption of the capacity design principle in modern codes of practice allows for multi-storey frame structures to exhibit ductile behaviour in a major earthquake without collapsing. Whilst the risk of shear failure in regions of large inelastic deformation can be largely reduced, the detailing requirements in capacity design often leads to reinforcement congestion that adds difficulty during the construction process, due to the high amount of transverse reinforcement required to provide shear resistance and confinement. The work presented in this paper forms a part of a wider research programme that aims to simplify the detailing requirements of transverse reinforcement in the joint and plastic hinge regions of moment-resisting frame structures. To this end, damage-tolerant concrete known as engineered cementitious composite (ECC) was used to substitute concrete in these critical regions. In this article, the results of reversed cyclic tests on two half-scale exterior beam-column joints, constructed with ordinary concrete and ECC, are presented. Key features of the response such as the reversed cyclic hysteresis loops, stiffness degradation and cumulative energy dissipation are discussed, along with crack development under reversed cyclic loading in the form of digital strain maps.
The behavior of slab on pile structure with a variation of support end interconnection under earthquake load according to the SNI 2833:2016
Authors: Aritonang T S M , Setiawan A F 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper discusses the behaviour of the slab-on-pile (SOP) structure with variations support end interconnection under earthquake loads. Analysis of the SOP structure using macro modelling of numerical analysis. The SOP structure model is developed with three variations of the model with different support conditions, namely Model 1 with the end of the structure attached to the pile head and spun pile, Model 2 with the end of the structure attached to roller support, and Model 3 with the end of the structure not being supported, or the same as the cantilever system. Earthquake load is assigned using two methods according to SNI 2833:2016, namely the Single-mode Spectra Method and the Response Spectrum Method. Based on the analysis results, the vibration period of the SOP structure calculated by the single mode spectra method is 0.60 seconds for the first mode and 0.34 seconds for the second mode. Based on the numerical analysis results, the vibration period of Model 3 is greater than that of other models. The maximum internal forces and the most significant displacement occur in Model 3, while the most considerable base reaction occurs in Model 1. The magnitude of the base shear force occurs because Model 1 uses more piles, thus increasing the stiffness of the structure. This results in an increase in seismic forces but reduces displacement of the structure. Furthermore, for the analysis and design of SOP structures, Model 3 is the most reliable because this model produces the maximum load effect and the most significant displacement of the structure.
Pushover analysis in slab-on-piles bridge using reinforced concrete-filled spun piles
Authors: Riyono C A S , Satyarno I , Setiawan A F , Awaludin A 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Slab-on-piles is a bridge structure consisting of a continuous pile as a pier, pile head, and slab. Generally, the spun pile is chosen as the pile pier because of the quick construction and low maintenance. However, due to the hollow section with prestressed concrete, without filler, it has weakness in the form of brittle failure under bending moment and shear. Some studies mention that the initial failure occurs due to an explosion in the inner surface of the hollow spun pile or on the surface of the hole. The implementation spun pile for the slab-on-piles bridges should consider that behavior. Therefore, some practical engineers usually use concrete-infill treatment, however, the performance improvement in the nonlinear behavior needs to be known. This study investigates the use of hollow spun piles filled with concrete and normal reinforcement for a slab-on-piles bridge structure. This type of spun pile will be referred to as a reinforced concrete-filled spun pile (RCFSP). The location of slab-on-piles bridge is assumed to be built in Aceh, Indonesia. The height of the RCFSP on the slab-on-piles bridge is 6 m relative to the ground surface. A preliminary design using the linear elastic method is conducted using the response modification factor of 3.5. The slab-on-piles bridge requires 25 RCFSP for each bridge segment. Based on the pushover analysis method, this structure could not reach a performance point. A redesign is conducted using a response modification factor of 1.5. The redesign result shows that the structure requires 60 RCFSP and a performance point is found at a displacement of 85 mm in the longitudinal direction and 81 mm in the transversal direction. This research concludes that a slab-on-piles bridge is not efficient to be designed with a high value of response modification factor even though using the concrete-infill treatment.
The comparison of X-braced frame and moment frame on structural building (case study: government office of North Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia)
Authors: Tanijaya J , Kwandou R , Indranata N S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The seismic force can damage the building and harm the occupants. Therefore, its structure needs to be designed seismic-resistant. One of the essential things in seismic-resistant building is the effect of lateral force to its structural rigidity. It can be improved by using the lateral resistant element such as bracing and shear wall. The lateral element used in this study is concentric X-bracing. This study conducted an optional structural model of the office of North Toraja Regent, Panga, South Sulawesi. The building was originally analyzed as a whole unit structure, but it has already rotated in its first mode shape due its irregularity. The comparison analysis is conducted by using the same existing structure configuration, except with the addition of X-bracing. The analysis results of the dynamic response are the fundamental building period, mode shape, base shear, lateral displacement and P-delta effect. The fundamental building period using X-bracing is smaller than moment frame building. It indicates that the use of X-bracing lead to the stiffer building. The use of the X-bracing results in a larger base shear value than the moment-frame building. The difference in base-shear between X-braced frame with moment frame is about 211.77% and 212.10% for seismic force with X-direction and Y-direction respectively.
Physical entanglement between localized orbitals

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The goal of the present work is to guide the development of quantum technologies in the context of fermionic systems. For this, we first elucidate the process of entanglement swapping in electron systems such as atoms, molecules or solid bodies. This demonstrates the significance of the number-parity superselection rule and highlights the relevance of localized few-orbital subsystems for quantum information processing tasks. Then, we explore and quantify the entanglement between localized orbitals in two systems, a tight-binding model of non-interacting electrons and the hydrogen ring. For this, we apply the first closed formula of a faithful entanglement measure, derived in (arXiv:2207.03377) as an extension of the von Neumann entropy to genuinely correlated many-orbital systems. For both systems, long-distance entanglement is found at low and high densities η, whereas for medium densities,

, practically only neighboring orbitals are entangled. The Coulomb interaction does not change the entanglement pattern qualitatively except for low and high densities where the entanglement increases as function of the distance between both orbitals.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Global construction waste (CW) poses escalating environmental, social, and economic challenges. While New Zealand grapples with a dearth of research on optimal construction waste management (CWM) techniques, it stands to gain from the comprehensive practices employed in regions like Hong Kong. Drawing from the extensive literature on CWM practices in Hong Kong and other countries, this study seeks to furnish New Zealand’s construction professionals and policymakers with invaluable insights. Key findings illuminate the determinants of successful CWM, the motivations steering stakeholder behaviour towards CW reduction, the transformative potential of public policy, and innovative enhancement strategies. The research underscores the instrumental roles of green building and big data in CW curtailment, delving into the attendant challenges and rewards. By assimilating lessons from these international paradigms, New Zealand is poised to refine its CWM, catalysing a shift towards a more sustainable construction landscape.
Physics based modeling of LiFePO4 cathodes: effects of electrode parameters on cell performance during fast charging

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) has emerged as a potential cathode material due to its lower cost and higher stabilities. This work investigates LFP cell behavior at higher C-rates via a detailed simulation study. To facilitate this investigation, a physics-based electrochemical model is calibrated and validated with in-house experimental data. The validated model is used to study the effect of particle size, lithium diffusivity, and electrode thickness on the charge-discharge capacity of Li-LFP cells for a range of C-rates up to 5 C. A detailed discussion is carried out to explain the results of parametric studies, in terms of transport limitations, irreversible losses (overpotentials) and their dependence on different electrode parameters. The model helps us to depict the effect of these parameters on internal profiles of SOC and overpotentials, allowing for a deeper understanding of the cell behavior. Overall, the simulations show that the LFP cell is able to exhibit good capacity at higher C-rates by tuning the particle size and lithium diffusivity. An optimal combination of material and physical parameters is identified to maximize the possible capacity of LFP electrodes.
