Extremum Seeking for Controlled Vibrational Stabilization of Mechanical Systems: A Variation-of-Constant Averaging Approach Inspired by Flapping Insects Mechanics [PDF]
arXivThis paper presents a novel extremum seeking control (ESC) approach for the vibrational stabilization of a class of mechanical systems (e.g., systems characterized by equations of motion resulting from Newton second law or Euler-Lagrange mechanics). Inspired by flapping insects mechanics, the proposed ESC approach is operable by only one perturbation ...

The distally anchored connective tissue graft platform for papilla enhancement: A case report
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background As the need for using dental implants to replace single missing teeth grows, so does the demand for greater esthetic results. However, achieving complete interproximal papillae fill in single‐tooth implant restorations remains a challenge. The distally anchored connective tissue platform is a novel soft tissue augmentation technique

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global OpenBackground:. Free tissue transfer is usually considered as a last resort in severe burn cases, when skin substitutes and local flaps are not viable options. Prior studies have demonstrated a free flap loss rate ranging from 0% to 44%.

A flexured-gimbal 3-axis force-torque sensor reveals minimal cross-axis coupling in an insect-sized flapping-wing robot [PDF]
arXivThe mechanical complexity of flapping wings, their unsteady aerodynamic flow, and challenge of making measurements at the scale of a sub-gram flapping-wing flying insect robot (FIR) make its behavior hard to predict. Knowing the precise mapping from voltage input to torque output, however, can be used to improve their mechanical and flight controller ...

Effect of suturing in root coverage via coronally advanced flaps: A systematic review
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background To analyze the evidence about the influence of the suturing technique and material in terms of the percentage of mean root coverage (%MRC) following root coverage therapy in teeth diagnosed with single/localized gingival recession defects (GRD) via a monolaminar coronally advanced flap. Methods The protocol of this systematic review

Three‐ to 4‐year follow‐up of the reverse palatal pedicle graft for maxillary palatal recessions
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background This study evaluates the long‐term stability and clinical outcomes of the reverse palatal pedicle graft (RPPG) technique in treating maxillary molar palatal recessions over a 3 to 4‐year follow‐up period. Methods Three patients with palatal recession defects on maxillary molars were treated using the RPPG technique.
