MODIFICATION OFTHE DENTAL ARCH SHAPE USING GRAPHIC REPRODUCTION METHOD AND ITS CLINICALEFFECTIVENESS IN PATIENTS WITH OCCLUSION ANOMALIES

Based on the results of the dentoalveolar system morphometry performed in patients with permanent teeth physiological occlusion we have developed a method for studying the anterior dental arch. It follows the circle of geometry patterns as well as stable values in the medialdistal dimensions of the front teeth crowns. In view of the mesial-distal dimensions of 14 teeth and dental arch width between the second molars and individually built radius of the circle we modified the method of dental arches graphic reproduction. The first stage of the dental arch individual shape graphic reproduction implies designing a dental pentagon, whereas its base is the width of the dental arch between the second molars, and the median sagittal line determines the depth of the dental arch. The upper sides of the pentagon (incisor-canine diagonals) run from the central interincisal point to the canine point, while the lower sides (canine-molar diagonals) connect the canine points to the molar points. At the second stage of the dental arch individual shape graphic reproduction, a circle is outlined, whose radius is related directly to the width of the anterior dental arch, and has an inverse relationship with its depth. There is a proof offered for clinical feasibility of the method employed to predict the optimal individual shape of the dental arch through graphic reproduction in patients with class I Angel occlusion issues. The study showed that the effectiveness of therapeutic and diagnostic measures for patients with abnormal shape and size of dental arches. It can be achieved if the sequence of the graphic construction stages is strictly followed.

Rationale for a strategic framework to create a competitive space in the domestic consumer market

Introduction. Increased competition in the domestic consumer market requires retailers to find new methods of competition on the base of new market spacescreation. Purpose. Formation of strategic bases for creation of retail enterprises by new non-competitive market space. Methods. Analysis and synthesis, SPACE analysis, graphic construction, scientific abstraction. Results. The author’s vision of the strategic thinking concept as a basis for strategic transformation of an enterprise to new market space, which forms on the base of the needs of strategic self-identification, awareness of strategic risk and strategic protection, is presented. The role of strategic intuition and its essence in decision making is clarified. The comprehensive approach is proposed for determining the degree of market environment compaction and, accordingly, of competition (market lever), in which the existence of an enterprise under traditional competition laws is unlikely. On the base of comparative analysis, the feasibility of applying the principles of the SPACE coordinate system for constructingthe market lever in the following areas: market saturation, influencebranching, intellectual capacity, innovativeness is substantiated. Each direction is interpreted in meaningful criteria which are determined by the relevant indices. All indices of the market lever system are unified and standardized in their architecture, which allows their generalizing into single system and forming integral values in each of the four directions. Discussion. Interpreting the results of the market leverposition assessment, determining the necessary and sufficient boundaries of the market space (the formation of the blue and red oceans), are worth doing as they will determine the enterprise’sstrategic alternatives.

Krokodil’s Hollow Center: The Performance of Affirmation

This chapter investigates the reasons for, and implications of, the apparent absence in Krokodil's affirmative cartoons of positive character types, including Soviet political leaders. Without overstating their significance, it traces their "absent presence" by considering how, even when Soviet leaders were physically absent, their presence was still implied. Consequently, since images of those at the centre were so rare, we may describe Krokodil's affirmation of Soviet ideology visual discourse, de-centered. A performative reading of Krokodil's cartoons about ordinary citizens enables us to interpret the journal's own performance of its own acts of engagement with all the dominant popular-official themes of the Thaw era, notably the Space Race. By analyzing the graphic construction of cartoons affirming Soviet ideology from the post-Stalin period, we may understand more fully the magazine's performances of memory and critiquing present and past achievements.

Introduction

This chapter introduces Krokodil to the general reader and places it in the context of the histories of the USSR, the Thaw, and graphic satire. It lays out the aims of the book, namely: to extend and nuance our understanding of Soviet graphic satire and challenge the "propaganda paradigm" by re-evaluating Krokodil's place in Soviet visual culture, investigating the graphic construction of ideology in the USSR, and to propose a new interpretation of the journal. The Introduction also draws out the significance of graphic satire by reference to postmodernism and continuing interest in the art of Soviet cartoonists and to the ways cartoon art influences contemporary politics. This chapter also provides clarification on key terms and referencing conventions.

Six-Measured Epure Nomogram in Four Oktant Measurement

A graphic construction of six-measured nomogram with its subsequent decomposition on four cell-like three-dimensional spatial axonometries with their physiographic analysis is offered in this work. Compact construction of the six-measured nomogram allows obtain fully a graphic illustration for the current experiment and explicitly characterize its physical entity by means of parametric link. A qualitatively new illustrative model graphically connects all experimental cycle of operating parameters by means of projective dependence for Cartesian coordinate system taking into account the materialization of spot measurements. In the course of receiving geometrical images in the form of straight lines’ segments, curves, planes and surfaces during construction of the six-measured nomogram a question about obtaining of each geometrical image’s physical characteristics is set. Regularity of parameters layout on the epure six-measured nomogram’s planes should define physical evolution or its absence in the experiment. In case of construction a graphic dependence between parameters the applicate axis, certainly, is resultant or functional one and all remaining axes are arguments or variables. Geometrical images, such as horizontal planes of level, are involved in the work, and each of these planes expresses the spot measurement of all projective parameters. Horizontally projecting surfaces have been presented by intersection of generatrixes with directing lines that are the transition link of conformance points between two-phase flow’s phases. The compliance axiom is given that is the graphic confirmation for what has been said.

Simulation and Performance Analysis of a FMS/CIM Using Stochastic Timed Petri Nets

This paper focuses on the modelling, simulation and the performance analysis of a flexible manufacturing system using stochastic timed Petri nets so as to evaluate various performance parameters such as utilization rate of machines, deadlock detection, cycle time, and throughput rate of system in order to obtain the optimum productivity. The simulation of the manufacturing system using Petri nets provides the possibility to view the manufacturing process in time. Petri net model is implemented in Petri Net Toolbox under MATLAB environment. It is achieved the graphic construction of the net. Then, transporting it into a specific mathematical formalism it is made, so that the fulfiled structure to be fully retrieved and used to bring out the internal dynamics of the model. It is validated in this way the net topology, the evolution of (their dynamics), as well as the structural and behavioral properties (corresponding to checking if resources usage is stable and the model have no deadlocks). Some global performance indicators are determined in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed manufacturing system.
