AbstractFor aircraft noise calculations, lateral flight dispersion is commonly represented by means of subtracks – a backbone track and side-tracks to each side of the backbone track – where each subtrack is assigned a movement percentage. Aircraft noise calculations impose quality demands on these subtracks, while the latter are often created based on limited information.This paper presents a method to increase flexibility when designing subtracks. The method allows to redistribute subtracks geometrically, allowing for the design of simplified track representations, for instance through a lower number of subtracks and very basic indications of movement allocations. The method is based on the geometric matching of the initial subtracks and on the estimation of the lateral movement distributions for both input and final output subtracks. No restrictions on the number of sub-tracks or on the shape of the distributions are needed, neither for the input nor for the output. A number of examples of the redistribution and its effect on aircraft noise calculations are discussed.

AbstractPrevious research has indicated that temporal changes of centrality of specific nodes in human evolving large-scale epileptic brain networks carry information predictive of impending seizures. Centrality is a fundamental network-theoretical concept that allows one to assess the role a node plays in a network. This concept allows for various interpretations, which is reflected in a number of centrality indices. Here we aim to achieve a more general understanding of local and global network reconfigurations during the pre-seizure period as indicated by changes of different node centrality indices. To this end, we investigate—in a time-resolved manner—evolving large-scale epileptic brain networks that we derived from multi-day, multi-electrode intracranial electroencephalograpic recordings from a large but inhomogeneous group of subjects with pharmacoresistant epilepsies with different anatomical origins. We estimate multiple centrality indices to assess the various roles the nodes play while the networks transit from the seizure-free to the pre-seizure period. Our findings allow us to formulate several major scenarios for the reconfiguration of an evolving epileptic brain network prior to seizures, which indicate that there is likely not a single network mechanism underlying seizure generation. Rather, local and global aspects of the pre-seizure network reconfiguration affect virtually all network constituents, from the various brain regions to the functional connections between them.

The biomechanics of arytenoid adduction surgery are not well understood. An excised canine larynx model was used to study the effects of variable suture tension on glottal configuration and on vocal fold tension (at the midfold and the vocal process). Arytenoid adduction both medializes the vocal fold and closes a posterior glottal chink. Vocal fold tension at the midfold did not vary significantly with suture tension. As suture tension increased to approximately 100 g, vocal fold tension at the vocal process also increased. Beyond 100 g of suture tension, vocal fold tension at the vocal process did not increase. We conclude that the effects of suture tension on the resistance to lateral movement are different at the midfold compared to the vocal process. Procedures for surgical rehabilitation of vocal fold paralysis should address the biomechanical subunits of the larynx individually in order to achieve optimum results.

Air transportation networks play important roles in human mobility. In this paper, from the perspective of multilayer network mechanism, the dynamics of the Chinese air transportation network are extensively investigated. A multilayer-based passengers re-scheduling model is introduced, and a multilayer cooperation (MC) approach is proposed to improve the efficiency of network traffic under random failures. We use two metrics: the success rate and the extra transfer number, to evaluate the efficiency of re-scheduling. It is found that a higher success rate of passengers re-scheduling can be obtained by MC, and MC is stronger for resisting the instability of the capacity of links. Furthermore, the explosion of the number of extra transfer can be well restrained by MC. Our work will highlight a better understanding of the dynamics and robustness of the Chinese air transportation network.

This research aimed to evaluate mandibular movements in children with and without signs and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction. The sample taken consisted of 99 children aged 3 to 5 years distributed in two groups: I - Absence of signs and/or symptoms of TMD (25 girls/40 boys); II - Presence of signs and symptoms of TMD (16 girls/18 boys). The symptoms were evaluated through an anamnesis questionnaire answered by the child's parents/caretakers. The clinical signs were evaluated through intra- and extraoral examination. Maximum mouth opening and left/right lateral movements were measured using a digital caliper. The maximum protrusive movement was measured using a millimeter ruler. The means and standard deviations for maximum mouth opening in Group I and Group II were 40.82mm±4.18 and 40.46mm±6.66, respectively. The values found for the left lateral movement were 6.96mm±1.66 for Group I and 6.74mm±1.55 for Group II, while for the right lateral movement they were 6.46mm±1.53 and 6.74mm±1.77. The maximum protrusion movements were 5.67mm±1.76 and 6.12mm±1.92, in Groups I and II, respectively. The mandibular movement ranges neither differed statistically between groups nor between genders. FAPESP Process 96/0714-6.

Abstract Conventional bone surgery leads to unwanted damage to the surrounding tissues and a slow healing process for the patients. Additionally, physicians are not able to perform free cutting shapes due to the limitations of available systems. These issues can be overcome by robot-assisted contactless laser surgery since it provides less mechanical stress, allows precise functional cuts, and leads to faster healing. The remaining drawback of laser surgery is the low ablation rate that is not yet competitive with conventional mechanical piezo-osteotomes. Therefore, we aim at maximizing the efficiency in hard tissue laser ablation by optimizing the lateral movement speed for different irrigation conditions. The results of this study show a non-linear relationship between cutting rates, speeds, and depths that should be critically considered for integration in robotic laser surgery.

Safe driving can be achieved by prevention of risky situations which requires the knowledge of the vehicle dynamics and road geometry. The Indian traffic condition is heterogeneous in nature and has weak lane discipline. Hence, vehicles interactions takes place laterally also along with their longitudinal interaction. Vehicles lateral movements (interactions) are quite high due to absence of lane discipline. Therefore, the lateral acceleration of vehicles are an important variable which characterizes the corresponding vehicle dynamics. Several studies have been done by various authors on lateral acceleration in curves, however, lateral movement study of vehicles on straight road section is also important to analyze vehicles’ maneuver in such traffic (i.e. traffic stream with weak lane discipline). Therefore, the present study is about the observation of lateral movements of vehicles over different types of roads in three metropolitan cities of India (Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune) under moderate traffic conditions. Lateral acceleration variation of five different types of vehicles (SUV cars, Sedan cars, Hutch Back cars, motorized three wheeler and two wheeler) have been recorded to investigate its relationship with vehicles longitudinal characteristics (i.e. longitudinal speed) in Indian heterogeneous and weak lane disciplined traffic. Lateral acceleration values quickly rises with initial increase in speed afterward lateral acceleration values reduces with further increase in vehicles longitudinal speed.  Impact of vehicle type and locations on the lateral maneuvering of vehicles have also been studied
