    Dental occlusion after Veau-Wardill-Kilner versus minimal incision technique repair of isolated clefts of the hard and soft palate

    No full text
    OBJECTIVE: To compare the Veau-Wardill-Kilner technique with a technique similar to the minimal incision technique described by Mendosa et al. on the basis of surgical complications and dentoalveolar status in the deciduous dentition. DESIGN: Retrospective study of medical and dental records and casts. PATIENTS: A consecutive series of 129 Caucasian children born with isolated cleft palate between 1980 and 1992. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: From medical records, the variables of time for surgery, blood loss, complications in the immediate postoperative period, and frequency of fistulas were evaluated. On dental casts, the variables of sagittal, transversal, and vertical relations; structure of the palatal mucosa; and height of the palatal vault were studied. RESULTS: Time for surgery was shorter in the extensive clefts repaired with a Veau-Wardill-Kilner technique. Blood loss was higher using the Veau-Wardill-Kilner technique. The width of the upper jaw was significantly narrower in the Veau-Wardill-Kilner group, compared with the minimal incision group. Scar tissue and pits of the palate were more frequently found in the Veau-Wardill-Kilner group. CONCLUSIONS: The minimal incision technique in this study has been shown to result in better development of the upper jaw with a better dental occlusion and palatal mucosa with significantly less scar tissue

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Combinatorial Search for new mixed electronic ionic materials for SOFC Cathode Applications

    No full text
    In order to lower SOFC operating temperature between the range of 500 and 800°C, research has been focussed on finding alternative cathode materials, as it is where the highest area specific resistivity in the ceramic cell is exhibited. There is a constant requirement for novel high performance mixed conducting oxides for a variety of applications including cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells and as oxygen separation membranes. The conventional method of approaching this problem is by synthesising oxide compositions obtained from consideration of crystal structure and chemistry. One consequence of this is that synthesis is limited to a few chosen compositions because of the time consuming nature of the synthesis process. A way round this is the use of combinatorial methods to explore much wider ranges of compositions based upon rational choices of starting compositions. An interdisciplinary project was launched to use an ink jet based robot system, LUSI (London University Search Instrument), in order to synthesise combinatorial arrays of ceramic dot samples (2mm dia 500μm high) suitable for measurement of oxygen transport. More information on the robot and the project can be found on the related project web page www.foxd.org. The aim is to use oxygen 18 isotopic exchange with an array together with high resolution SIMS to identify materials with a high degree of exchange with oxygen gas at a given temperature. The first part of this programme was aimed at producing arrays of materials for which the transport properties are well known and to this end we have started with the perovskite materials with the general formula La1-xSrxCo1-yMnyO3, for which we have enough previous information to verify that the experimental protocols are correct. This study was followed by the study of a less known composition space with the general formula La1-xSrxCo1-y-zMnyFezO3. Quality synthesis of automated ink-jet printed samples has been carried out and composition (Induced Couple Plasma Mass Spectrometry), structure determination (X-ray diffraction and Raman Spectrometry) and oxygen content (Thermogravimetric and Catalysis Temperature-programmed Desorption) have been characterised systematically over the full range of compositions prior to performing the isotopic exchange procedure. Isotopic exchange procedures have been written, and tested on one composition. A new diffusion algorithm has been coded to take into account the shape of the combinatorial samples. Design of a new high-throughput technique has been created and this technique has been tested to identify new SOFC cathode materials. A first systematic study has been carried out over the full range of composition of general formula La1-xSrxCo1-y-zMnyFezO3. An automated production of thick-film perovskites has been achieved to a certain extent: composition, phase and oxygen non stoichiometry have been characterised over the full composition of the La0.8Sr0.2Co1-y-zMnyFezO3 pseudo-ternary solid solution. The isotopic exchange technique has been carried out on the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 and La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 samples

    The effect of operating conditions on the surface composition and evolution of (La0.8Sr0.2)0.95Cr0.5Fe0.5O3−δ (LSCrF8255) as a model perovskite oxide was investigated. LSCrF8255 pellets were annealed under dry oxygen (pO2 = 200 mbar), wet oxygen (pO2 = 200 mbar, pH2O = 30 mbar), and water vapour (pO2 < 1 mbar, pH2O = 30 mbar) environments to reflect the applications of perovskite materials as electrodes for oxygen reduction/evolution and H2O electrolysis in electrochemical energy conversion devices such as solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cells (SOFCs/SOECs) and oxygen transport membranes (OTMs). A series of comprehensive surface characterization techniques were applied, including low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Our comprehensive study showed that after annealing at 900 °C for 27 hours, a severe level of Sr surface segregation occurred on the sample annealed in both dry oxygen and water vapour but in different manners, whereas on the sample annealed in wet oxygen, Sr segregation was likely suppressed. In addition, the Sr segregation behaviour can be correlated to other mass transport phenomena, such as Cr evaporation and redeposition and Si deposition, as well as to crystal orientation and defects such as grain boundaries and dislocations. Apart from the Sr-enriched surface precipitates, phase separation was consistently observed on the samples annealed in all three conditions. The secondary phase was found to be B-site cation enriched (significantly Fe enriched, relatively Cr enriched) and A-site cation (La and Sr) deficient. Moreover, in contrast to the Sr enriched surface, a La enriched surface was observed on samples annealed in dry oxygen at 600 and 700 °C, which was found to be potentially caused by the Sr and Cr surface evaporation processes
