An ideal occlusal scheme plays an important role in a good prognosis of All-on-Four applications, as it does for other implant therapies, due to the potential impact of occlusal loads on implant prosthetic components. The aim of the present three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) study was to investigate the stresses on abutments, screws and prostheses that are generated by occlusal loads via different occlusal schemes in the All-on-Four concept. Three-dimensional models of the maxilla, mandible, implants, implant substructures and prostheses were designed according to the All-on-Four concept. Forces were applied from the occlusal contact points formed in maximum intercuspation and eccentric movements in canine guidance occlusion (CGO), group function occlusion (GFO) and lingualized occlusion (LO). The von Mises stress values for abutment and screws and deformation values for prostheses were obtained and results were evaluated comparatively. It was observed that the stresses on screws and abutments were more evenly distributed in GFO. Maximum deformation values for prosthesis were observed in the CFO model for lateral movement both in the maxilla and mandible. Within the limits of the present study, GFO may be suggested to reduce stresses on screws, abutments and prostheses in the All-on-Four concept.

При прохождении стружечноклеевой массы по ленточному прессу и формования ее в изделие под вальцами происходит постоянное изменение свойств материала. От несвязной сыпучей композиции материал в результате пьезотермообработки должен преобразоваться в монолитное фасонное изделие. Силовое и температурные воздействия в процессе обработки вызывают в материале, а затем и в готовом изделии переменное напряженное состояние, которое в значительной степени определяет целостность и окончательные механические свойства готовой продукции. В настоящей статье исследуются напряженные состояния в наиболее опасном месте пресса – под профилирующим вальцом. Основная цель исследования заключается в попытке объяснить появление дефектов изделия и наметить конструктивные и технологические мероприятия по их устранению или хотя бы смягчению. При проведении предварительных экспериментов по изготовлению погонажных изделий из стружечноклеевой массы был обнаружен ряд основных недостатков. Большинство дефектов связано с процессом профилирования и возникают под профилирующим барабаном. Очевидно, причиной всех отмеченных дефектов являются экстремальные условия деформирования материала под барабаном и несоответствие термомеханического состояния обрабатываемого материала характеру деформирования. На основании проведенных исследований можно сделать основные выводы: продольный изгиб при прокатке изделий из стружечноклеевой массы представляет существенную опасность и может быть причиной расслоения изделий по ширине; уменьшение вредного влияния продольного изгиба по ширине изделия может быть достигнуто за счет его интенсивного разогрева и ограничения отверждения связующего под вальцами; диаметры профилирующих барабанов необходимо делать максимальными по конструктивным соображениям; оптимальным вариантом является профилирование на прямолинейных участках, где радиус равен бесконечности; необходимо обеспечить жесткую синхронизацию линейных скоростей по всем точкам контакта изделия с рабочими органами прессового оборудования. Такие условия автоматически удовлетворяется в гусеничном прессе, что дополнительно характеризует его достоинства. When shaving and glue mix passing through a tape press and its formations to product under rollers there is a continuous change of properties of material. From incoherent loose composition material as a result of a pyezoterm processing has to be transformed to a monolithic shaped product. Power and temperature influences in processing cause in material, and then and in a finished product a variable tension which substantially defines integrity and final mechanical properties of finished goods. In the present article intense states in the most dangerous place of a press – under the main roller are investigated. The main objective of research consists in attempt to explain emergence of defects of a product and to plan constructive and technological actions for their elimination or at least to mitigation. When carrying out preliminary experiments on production wooden materials from shaving and glue mix has been found a number of the main shortcomings. The majority of defects is connected with process of profiling and arise under a main drum. Obviously, extreme conditions of deformation of material under a drum and discrepancy of a thermomechanical condition of the processed material to nature of deformation are the reason of all noted defects. On the basis of the conducted researches it is possible to draw the main conclusions: the longitudinal bend when rolling products of shaving and glue mix constitutes essential danger and can be the cause of stratification of products on width; reduction of an adverse effect of a longitudinal bend on width of a product can be reached at the expense of its intensive warming up and restriction of curing binding under rollers; diameters of main drums need to be done maximum for constructive reasons; an optimal variant is profiling on straight sections where radius is equal to infinity; it is necessary to provide rigid synchronization of line speeds on all contact points of a product with operating parts of the press equipment. Such conditions it is automatically satisfied in a truck press that in addition characterizes its advantages.

Abstract Purpose To investigate if postoperative clinical outcomes correlate with specific kinematic patterns after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery. The hypothesis was that the group of patients with higher clinical outcomes would have shown postoperative medial pivot kinematics, while the group of patients with lower clinical outcomes would have not. Methods 52 patients undergoing TKA surgery were prospectively evaluated at least a year of follow-up (13.5 ± 6.8 months) through clinical and functional Knee Society Score (KSS), and kinematically through dynamic radiostereometric analysis (RSA) during a sit-to-stand motor task. Patients received posterior-stabilized TKA design. Based on the result of the KSS, patients were divided into two groups: “KSS > 70 group”, patients with a good-to-excellent score (93.1 ± 6.8 points, n = 44); “KSS < 70 group”, patients with a fair-to-poor score (53.3 ± 18.3 points, n = 8). The anteroposterior (AP) low point (lowest femorotibial contact points) translation of medial and lateral femoral compartments was compared through Student’s t test (p < 0.05). Results Low point AP translation of the medial compartment was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the lateral one in both the KSS > 70 (6.1 mm ± 4.4 mm vs 10.7 mm ± 4.6 mm) and the KSS < 70 groups (2.7 mm ± 3.5 mm vs 11.0 mm ± 5.6 mm). Furthermore, the AP translation of the lateral femoral compartment was not significantly different (p > 0.05) between the two groups, while the AP translation of the medial femoral compartment was significantly higher for the KSS > 70 group (p = 0.0442). Conclusion In the group of patients with a postoperative KSS < 70, the medial compartment translation was almost one-fourth of the lateral one. Surgeons should be aware that an over-constrained kinematic of the medial compartment might lead to lower clinical outcomes. Level of evidence II.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the relation between icon and depiction and their equally central role both in verbal and in nonverbal artistic texts. For this purpose, I will examine the contact points between Jakobson and Bakhtin’s theory of text. In particular, I will dwell on Jakobson’s “Quest for the essence of language” and on Bakhtin’s “The Problem of the Text in Linguistics, Philology, and the Human Sciences.” Both Jakobson and Bakhtin build their idea of text on this dialogue between different dimensions. According to Bakhtin dialogical logic is the specific logic of the text. Though indispensable in the initial phase of understanding, the first is reductive if it claims to exhaust the semantic import of the text. Both in Bakhtin and in Jakobson, this idea of text based upon a dialogue between different dimensions implies that sign expression cannot be exhausted in representation because there is something which exceeds representation. I will call this excedent element “depiction.” Depiction is what is at stake in the artistic text, what exceeds the symbolic level of representation. “Depiction” can be configured, both in verbal and non-verbal text, as an idea of iconicity which exceeds resemblance and immediate visibility.

AbstractIn this paper, the general kinematics and dynamics of a rigid body is analysed, which is in contact with two rigid surfaces in the presence of dry friction. Due to the rolling or slipping state at each contact point, four kinematic scenarios occur. In the two-point rolling case, the contact forces are undetermined; consequently, the condition of the static friction forces cannot be checked from the Coulomb model to decide whether two-point rolling is possible. However, this issue can be resolved within the scope of rigid body dynamics by analysing the nonsmooth vector field of the system at the possible transitions between slipping and rolling. Based on the concept of limit directions of codimension-2 discontinuities, a method is presented to determine the conditions when the two-point rolling is realizable without slipping.
