(2) Methods: To evaluate the stress distribution in the bone and teeth in this situation, models of maxillary central incisor were created containing cortical bone, trabecular bone, soft tissue, root dentin, enamel, periodontal ligament, and antagonist teeth were modeled. One model received a MG with 4-mm thickness. Both models were subdivided into finite elements. The frictionless contacts were used and a nonlinear dynamic impact analysis was performed in which a rigid object hit the model at 1 m s 1.

  • Taking a Bite out of Bruxism by Jordan Moshkovich
    1 Jordan Moshkovich Taking a Bite out of Bruxism In this paper, I will be covering parafunctional habits, bruxism (teeth grinding), and other related dental topics that should not only be of interest to anyone with teeth, but have direct application to overall health. Some of the information in this paper may come as news for some, such as the fact that dentists have begun using botox to help relieve some of the symptoms of bruxism (Nayyar et al). This paper will help educate you about dental health and also might supply important information about dental issues you are already facing. Some of these topics might already be familiar to you, however there should be something new for everyone. An old joke that was once told to me, reminds us, “Be true to your teeth and they won’t be false to you.” Dental health is very important for leading a happy, productive life and even though science continues to make important discoveries every day, the fact is that all humans are diphyodonts, therefore we should treat our teeth well, whether they be deciduous or permanent, because once they are gone, a third dentition will not occur. Diseased teeth can wreak havoc on every aspect of a person’s life and this paper should help you keep yours alive and well for many years to come. Upon reading the opening paragraph, one might well ask, “what are parafunctional th habits?” I know when I first heard those words, I did. According to the 4 ​ edition of Illustrated ​ ​ Dental Embryology, Histology, and Anatomy, parafunctional habits are, "Mandible movements ​ not within normal motions associated with mastication, speech, or respiratory movements" (Fehrenbach).

  • Articles State Farm “With Teeth”: Heightened Judicial Review in the Absence of Executive Oversight
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\89-5\NYU502.txt unknown Seq: 1 19-NOV-14 15:43 ARTICLES STATE FARM “WITH TEETH”: HEIGHTENED JUDICIAL REVIEW IN THE ABSENCE OF EXECUTIVE OVERSIGHT CATHERINE M. SHARKEY* While courts and commentators have considered the information-forcing role of executive oversight and judicial review of agency action, the dynamic relationship between the two has yet to be considered. This Article presents a novel justification for heightened judicial scrutiny in the absence of meaningful executive oversight, premised on a reasoned decision-making basis. Judicial review of certain types of agency determinations should be more stringent because those determinations have not been vetted by executive oversight and are thus less likely to be premised on reasons backed by empirical support. Agency cost-benefit analyses and agency con- flict preemption determinations—two realms rarely if ever considered together— are compared in terms of their reliance on underlying factual predicates and con- trasted in terms of the existing framework for executive oversight and judicial review of agency determinations. A heightened judicial review standard—what I term “State Farm with teeth”— should guide courts’ evaluations of the cost-benefit analyses performed by indepen- dent agencies not subject to executive oversight. This Article is the first to draw the distinction between independent and executive agencies in the State Farm hard- look context. It is also the first to explore the recent Business Roundtable decision by the D.C. Circuit through this analytical lens. The stringent “State Farm with teeth” standard should likewise be applied to judi- cial review of agency determinations of conflict preemption made in the absence of executive oversight.

    NOTRE DAME REVIEW HOVERING IN DEAD SPACE: THE GHOSTLY FUTURE IN PLEASE PLEASE GET OVER HERE PLEASE AND THE TERRAFORMERS Jamison Crabtree. please please get over here please. Cartridge Lit, 2017. Dan Hoy. The Terraformers. Third Man Books, 2017. Jayme Russell Lately, I’ve been fixated on ghosts and the future and how those two concepts intersect. At first they seem to be diametrically opposed to one an- other, but they are also permanently interconnected. The two fade into each other; they eerily float together in Venn diagram form. The following chap- books overlap in the same way. The form and content indicate ghostliness and futurity. Although the means of publication, one a physical hand sewn book and the other a digital text on a screen, are extremely different, these two chapbooks have a similar otherworldly atmosphere and tone. When we flip the pages or scroll down, we are caught in the middle of the diagram. I. We arrive at ghosts: A haunt is another word for a face; scary to see so many floating through the world. The ghost lives in digital space in Jamison Crabtree’s please please get over here please. This online chapbook at Cartridge Lit is airy in a world without air. The white background and colorless font creates an empty space and a slow scroll/scrawl of text, at once enticingly ethereal and cautionary. Alive & dead & asleep, bodies ache to press against something new. II. The words float on until abruptly interrupted by the strangeness of videogame language. Like Carol Anne as she channels ghosts, we hear and see sound and picture with sudden clarity amid the onscreen static.

  • The Tooth Gets Short Shrift in Anatomy Class: We Spend All of Five Minutes on It
    CHAPTER FOUR TEETH EVERYWHERE The tooth gets short shrift in anatomy class: we spend all of five minutes on it. In the pantheon of favorite organs—I’ll leave it to each of you to make your list—teeth rarely reach the top five. Yet the little tooth contains so much of our connection to the rest of life that it is virtually impossible to understand our bodies without knowing teeth. Teeth also have special significance for me, because it was in searching for them that I first learned how to find fossils and how to run a fossil expedition. The job of teeth is to make bigger creatures into smaller pieces. When attached to a moving jaw, teeth slice, dice, and macerate. Mouths are only so big, and teeth enable creatures to eat things that are bigger than their mouths. This is particularly true of creatures that do not have hands or claws that can shred or cut things before they get to the mouth. True, big fish tend to eat littler fish. But teeth can be the great equalizer: smaller fish can munch on bigger fish if they have good teeth. Smaller fish can use their teeth to scrape scales, feed on particles, or take out whole chunks of 81 flesh from bigger fish. We can learn a lot about an animal by looking at its teeth. The bumps, pits, and ridges on teeth often reflect the diet. Carnivores, such as cats, have blade-like molars to cut meat, while plant eaters have a mouth full of flatter teeth that can macerate leaves and nuts.

The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s. During working nights as a handyman and engineer at the Right Track Studio in ClevelandOhioReznor used studio "down-time" to record and develop his own music. The sequencing was done on a Macintosh Plus. With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records. Much like his recorded demo, Reznor refused to record the album with a conventional band, recording Pretty Hate Machine mostly by himself. I became completely withdrawn.

  • Dr. Mrs. V Hemavathy D.Saranya* Original Research Paper Psychiatry
    Original Research Paper Volume-8 | Issue-1 | January-2018 | PRINT ISSN - 2249-555X Psychiatry SKIN PICKING DISORDER Dr. Mrs. V Hemavathy D.Saranya* *Corresponding Author ABSTRACT Skin picking (excoriation) disorder is a serious and poorly understood problem. People who suffer from skin picking disorder repetitively touch, rub, scratch, pick at or dig into their skin, often in an attempt to remove small irregularities or perceived imperfections. This behavior may result in skin discoloration or scarring. In more serious cases, severe tissue damage and visible disfigurement can result. Skin picking disorder is considered a “body-focused repetitive behavior” (BFRB) along with trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) and onychophagia (nail biting). These behaviors are not habits or tics; nor are they considered self-injurious behaviors. Rather, they are complex disorders that cause people to repeatedly touch their body and hair in ways that result in physical damage. Most people pick their skin to some degree. Occasional picking at cuticles, acne, scabs, calluses or other skin irregularities is a very common human behavior. It also is not unusual for skin picking to actually become a problem, whether temporary or chronic. Studies indicate that 2-5% of people pick their skin to the point that it causes noticeable tissue damage and marked distress or impairment in daily functioning. Skin Picking Disorder may develop at any age. How the disorder progresses depends on many factors, including the stresses in a person's life, and whether or not the person seeks and finds appropriate treatment. KEYWORDS : trichotillomania, onychophagia, disfigurement, self-injurious behaviors, DEFINITION Excoriation disorderis amental disordercterized by the repeated urge to pick at one's own skin, often to the extent that damage is caused.
