Synchronized stationary clouds in a static fluid
The existence of stationary bound states for the hydrodynamic velocity field
between two concentric cylinders is established. We argue that rotational
motion, together with a trapping mechanism for the associated field, is
sufficient to mitigate energy dissipation between the cylinders, thus allowing
the existence of infinitely long lived modes, which we dub stationary clouds.
We demonstrate the existence of such stationary clouds for sound and surface
waves when the fluid is static and the internal cylinder rotates with constant
angular velocity . These setups provide a unique opportunity for the
first experimental observation of synchronized stationary clouds. As in the
case of bosonic fields around rotating black holes and black hole analogues,
the existence of these clouds relies on a synchronization condition between
and the angular phase velocity of the cloud.Comment: v2: 7 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in Physics Letters
Perspectives on the establishment of a Canadian human taphonomic facility: the experience of REST[ES]
REST[ES] is the first Canadian human taphonomic facility (HTF) dedicated to research and training relating to human decomposition in a northern temperate climate. The following paper outlines the measures taken to successfully establish, open and operate this novel Canadian HTF with particular focus on: project team and partnerships, facility location, approvals and permits, infrastructure and social acceptability. It is intended that our experience of establishing REST[ES] may serve as an example to help others with the establishment of future HTFs, thus contributing to the expansion in the global accessibility to human decomposition research and training
Premature loss of primary molars in children: space recovery through molar distalisation. A literature review
Aim: The integrity of primary dentition is essential in the development of the jaws and permanent occlusion. The consequences of a premature loss of primary molars are: space loss, crowding, risk of impaction of the permanent teeth, ectopic eruption, anomalous inclination of the teeth adjacent to the loss molar, reduction of arch length. The mesial displacement of the posterior permanent teeth during eruption can cause a loss of space, which can be regained with orthodontic appliances. Therefore, a careful diagnosis is of great importance to be able to decide what appliance is indicated to recover from this situation. Molar distalisation consists in displacing permanent molars distally, allowing them to reach class I relationship and to recover the correct space for the second bicuspids when the second deciduous molar has been lost early. Methods: The aim of this study is to carry out a narrative literature review regarding the different appliances and their effectiveness in regaining space after premature loss of the upper primary molars. Conclusion: The paediatric dentist should be aware of the advantages and disadvantages related to each device and select the most appropriate distalisation appliance based on an individual plan of diagnosis and a careful treatment. The distalisation of the upper molar must be adequately stabilised and so it is important to consider also some retainers such as Nance's appliance, the Palatal Plate, the extraoral traction, the utility arch, or II Class elastic bands
