From circular paths to elliptic orbits: A geometric approach to Kepler's motion
The hodograph, i.e. the path traced by a body in velocity space, was
introduced by Hamilton in 1846 as an alternative for studying certain dynamical
problems. The hodograph of the Kepler problem was then investigated and shown
to be a circle, it was next used to investigate some other properties of the
motion. We here propose a new method for tracing the hodograph and the
corresponding configuration space orbit in Kepler's problem starting from the
initial conditions given and trying to use no more than the methods of
synthetic geometry in a sort of Newtonian approach. All of our geometric
constructions require straight edge and compass only.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
Null geodesics in five-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om anti-de Sitter black hole
The study of the motion of photons around massive bodies is one of the most
useful tools to know the geodesic structure associated with said gravitational
source. In the present work, different possible paths projected in an invariant
hyperplane are investigated, considering five-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om
anti-de Sitter black hole. Also, we study some observational test such as the
bending of light and the Shapiro time delay effect. Mainly, we found that the
motion of photons follows the hippopede of Proclus geodesic, which is a new
type of trajectory of second kind, being the Lima\c{c}on of Pascal their
analogue geodesic in four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om anti-de Sitter black
hole.Comment: Version accepted for publication by EPJ
Weak Hopf algebras with projection and weak smash bialgebra structures
AbstractIn this paper we study weak Hopf algebras with projection. If f:H→B, g:B→H are morphisms of weak Hopf algebras such that g∘f=idH, we prove that it is possible to find an object BH, in the new category of weak Yetter–Drinfeld modules, that verifies similar conditions to the ones include in the definition of weak Hopf algebra. Finally, we define weak smash bialgebra structures and prove that, under central and cocentral conditions, BH and H determine an example of them
Los espectadores ante la violencia televisiva: funciones, efectos e interpretaciones situadas
La investigación sobre violencia en televisión se ha orientado a una labor cuantificadora de lo emitido o a la práctica experimental para determinar sus posibles efectos. El presente trabajo se centra en cómo interpretan los espectadores las imágenes de violencia. Basado en el análisis de 16 grupos de discusión, muestra las dimensiones que mediatizan los posibles efectos de la violencia televisiva; en concreto, las condiciones en que se reconocen y clasifican escenas de violencia, las funciones de la imagen violenta, las emociones y sentimientos despertados por ella y los procesos de identificación que se pueden producir con los personajes de las escenas
Giant cell granuloma of the maxilla: global management, review of literature and case report
Giant cell granuloma is a relatively rare benign entity but can be locally aggressive. Histologically characterized by
intense proliferation of multinucleated giant cells and fibroblasts. Affects bone supported tissues. Definitive diagnosis
is given by biopsy. Clinically manifest as a mass or nodule of reddish color and fleshy, occasionally ulcerated
surface. They can range from asymptomatic to destructive lesions that grow quickly. It is a lesion to be considered
in the differential diagnosis of osteolytic lesions affecting the maxilla or jaw. Its management passed from conservative
treatment with intralesional infiltration of corticosteroids, calcitonin or interferon, to the surgical resection
and reconstruction, for example with microvascular free flaps.

Comparison of implant primary stability between maxillary edentulous ridges receiving intramembranous origin block grafts
Purpose: The purposes of the present study were: to compare the resonance frequency analysis (RFA)
values of
implant placed in either ramus or calvaria block grafts; and to determine if implant diameter influences RFA implant stability quotient (ISQ)
value.
Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study that included 16 consecutives healthy patients treated with
autogenous onlay block grafts for horizontal bone reconstruction in maxilla. Ten ramus and ten calvaria block
graft treated patients were selected and compared.
Results: Totally, 59 implants were placed, 35 (59.3%) were placed on the calvaria bone grafts and the remaining
24 (40.7%) were on the ramus bone graft. Of all the implants studied, 13 (22%), 35 (59.3%), and 11 (18.6%) were
10 mm, 11.5 mm and 13 mm in length respectively. Regarding the diameter, 4 (7%) were 3.3 mm, 3 (5%) were 3.5
mm, 20 (34%) were 3.7 mm and 32 (54%) were 4 mm. Mean ISQ
value obtained by RFA was 73.06 ± 6.08, being
72.19 ± 6 and 74.47 ± 6.06 for the calvaria and ramus treated group respectively. No significant differences were
noted between the two groups (p= 0.154). Implants were pooled and divided by their diameter. Mean ISQ
value
obtained for 3.3 mm was 80 ± 5.09, while for 4.0 mm was 72.5 ± 7.19. Again, no significant differences were found
among the groups (p= 0.138).
Conclusion: For RFA ISQ value, the bone graft origins (calvaria or ramus) or implant diameters did not influence
the outcome
