Secciones c贸nicas tangentes a la gr谩fica de una funci贸n y sus derivadas
The geometric problem of the tangent line to the graph of a function at a point P is studied within the derivative concept. The geometric problem of the tangent can be extended to other tangent curves and not only to the simplest curve (the tangent straight line). The tangent line is a specific case of a tangent conic section since a line is a degenerate conic section. Therefore a tangent conic section is a more general solution as this contains also the geometric problem of the tangent line. Here, the tangent conic sections to the graph of a function are determined. The tangent conic section contains the point P as its vertex whose tangent line is equal to the tangent line of the function at that point P. The second-degree equation of a tangent conic section is an implicitly defined function. So, the parametric equations are used to obtain the graphs and the derivatives easily. Tangent conic sections to a given point P of a function are calculated in illustrative examples.El problema geom茅trico de la recta tangente a la gr谩fica de una funci贸n en un punto P se estudia en el concepto de derivada. El problema geom茅trico de la tangente se puede extender a otras curvas tangentes y no solo a la curva m谩s simple (la recta tangente). La l铆nea tangente es un caso espec铆fico de una secci贸n c贸nica tangente ya que una l铆nea es una secci贸n c贸nica degenerada. Por lo tanto, una secci贸n c贸nica tangente es una soluci贸n m谩s general, ya que tambi茅n contiene el problema geom茅trico de la recta tangente. En este art铆culo, las secciones c贸nicas tangentes a la gr谩fica de una funci贸n son determinadas. La secci贸n c贸nica tangente contiene el punto P como su v茅rtice, cuya l铆nea tangente es igual a la l铆nea tangente de la funci贸n en ese punto P. La ecuaci贸n de segundo grado de una secci贸n c贸nica tangente es una funci贸n definida impl铆citamente. Entonces, las ecuaciones param茅tricas son usadas para obtener las gr谩ficas y las derivadas f谩cilmente. Las secciones c贸nicas tangentes a un punto P dado de una funci贸n se calculan en ejemplos ilustrativos

Apollonius' problem using equations of tangent circles
Secciones c贸nicas tangentes a la gr谩fica de una funci贸n son usadas para resolver el problema de Apolonio. Este art铆culo presenta un nuevo m茅todo para resolver este problema. El planteamiento del problema de Apolonio puede originar diez casos. Aqui, se resuelven tres casos. A saber, tres l铆neas (LLL), una l铆nea y dos puntos (LPP) y tres c铆rculos (CCC). Estas tres combinaciones consideran los tres objetos: c铆rculo, l铆nea y punto. La soluci贸n es similar en los otros siete casos del problema. Cuando los objetos, l铆nea o c铆rculo, son parte de los elementos del problema, la l铆nea o el c铆rculo se toman como funciones. Cuando un punto es un elemento del problema, la ecuaci贸n del c铆rculo tangente debe contener este punto. A estas funciones se les aplican las ecuaciones de los c铆rculos tangentes en la forma centro-radio. Dado que el desconocido c铆rculo tangente es tangente a los otros objetos (o pasa por los eventuales puntos dados) del problema, las diferentes ecuaciones producen un sistema de ecuaciones no lineales. De la soluci贸n de este sistema de ecuaciones se puede obtener el centro-radio del c铆rculo tangente desconocido y los puntos de tangencia.Tangent conic sections to the graph of a function are used to solve the Apollonius' problem. The statement of the Apollonius' problem can originate ten types of the problem. Here, three types are solved. Namely, three lines (LLL), one line and two points (LPP) and three circles (CCC). These three combinations consider the three objects: circle, line and point. The solution strategy is similar in the other seven cases of the problem. When the objects, line or circle, are part of the elements of the problem, the line or circle are taken as functions. The equations of the tangent circles in the form center-radius are applied to these functions. Since the unknown tangent circle is tangent to the other objects (or passes through the eventual given points) of the problem, the different equations produce a system of non-linear equations. From the solution of this system of equations can be obtained the center-radius of the unknown tangent circle and the points of tangency. When a point is an element of the problem, the equation of the (tangent) circle must contain this point
Comparison of frictional resistance between passive self-ligating brackets and slide-type low-friction ligature brackets during the alignment and leveling stage
To compare the frictional resistance between passive self-ligating brackets and conventional brackets with low-friction ligature under bracket/archwire and root/bone interface during dental alignment and leveling. A tridimensional model of the maxilla and teeth of a patient treated with conventional brackets, and slide ligatures was generated employing the SolidWorks modeling software. SmartClip self-ligating brackets and Logic Line conventional brackets were assembled with slide low-friction ligatures, utilizing archwires with different diameters and alloys used for the alignment and leveling stage. Friction caused during the bracket/archwire interface and stress during the bone/root interface were compared through a finite element model. SmartClip and Logic Line brackets with slide elastomeric low-friction elastomeric ligature showed similar frictional stress values of 0.50 MPa and 0.64 MPa, respectively. Passive self-ligating brackets transmitted a lower load along the periodontal ligament, compared to conventional brackets with a low-friction ligature. Slide low-friction elastomeric ligatures showed frictional forces during the bracket/archwire interface similar to those of the SmartClip brackets, while the distribution of stresses and deformations during the root/bone interface were lower in the passive self-ligating brackets
Escala de Dificultades de Regulaci贸n Emocional (DERS): Evidencia de validez y fiabilidad en muestras colombianas
Difficulties in emotion regulation are associated with anxiety and problems in social relationships, among others, which supports evaluating them and having scales adapted to each context. The objective of the present study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) in Colombian community samples and provide qualification standards for assessment in Colombia. 1435 participants were included in two studies. In the first (n = 724, Mage = 21.00, SDage = 2.98) reliability and exploratory factor analyses were conducted, whereas in the second (n = 711, Mage = 21.56; SDage = 3.68) a confirmatory factor analysis was performed. The results showed a five-factor structure, similar to the original version, which explained 64.1% of the total variance. The confirmatory analysis revealed adequate adjustment and reliability indicators greater than .80. Results suggest that the DERS is valid and reliable to assess emotional dysregulation in Colombian samples.Las dificultades de regulaci贸n emocional se asocian con la ansiedad y problemas en relaciones sociales, entre otros, lo que sustenta evaluarlas y tener escalas adaptadas a cada contexto.

Interpretaci贸n geom茅trica de la ecuaci贸n del c铆rculo en el plano complejo usando la funci贸n de valor real equivalente
A function of a circle in the complex plane is obtained. The complex function represents the complex roots (discriminant less than zero) and the unique real solution (discriminant is equal to zero) of the first (or second) tangent circles to the real-valued function that represents the superior (or inferior) part of a circle with center on the -axis. In other words, if tangent circles are drawn to a circle with center on the -axis, the roots of the tangent circles that do not touch the -axis and the root of the tangent circle that only touch the -axis at one point are located on a circle in the complex plane.A function of a circle in the complex plane is obtained.
