The UK-DALE dataset, domestic appliance-level electricity demand and whole-house demand from five UK homes [PDF]
Scientific Data 2 (2015) Article number: 150007 (2015), 2014 Many countries are rolling out smart electricity meters. These measure a home's total power demand. However, research into consumer behaviour suggests that consumers are best able to improve their energy efficiency when provided with itemised, appliance-by-appliance consumption information.

The role of removable appliances in contemporary orthodontics [PDF]
British Dental Journal, 2001 The contemporary uses of removable appliances are considerably more limited than in the past. This article discusses possible reasons for their declining use, including recognition of their limitations. It is possible to achieve adequate occlusal improvement with these appliances providing that suitable cases are chosen.

15‐Point versus pass/fail grading in orthodontic education: A randomized controlled trial
Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives There is a lack of evidence on whether a grading system or a pass/fail system influences manual skills in dental education. This parallel‐group randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the influence of a 15‐point grading system compared with a pass/fail evaluation on the quality of orthodontic appliances in dental education ...

Orthodontics. Part 5: Appliance choices [PDF]
British Dental Journal, 2004 There are bewildering array of different orthodontic appliances. However, they fall into four main categories of removable, fixed, functional and extra-oral devices. The appliance has to be selected with care and used correctly as inappropriate use can make the malocclusion worse.

A computational fluid dynamic analysis of peri-bracket salivary flow influencing the microbial and periodontal parameters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fixed vestibular appliances decrease the "self-cleansing" action of saliva and promote aggregation of dental plaque by disturbing the salivary flow field on tooth surfaces, leading to a higher prevalence of enamel demineralization and periodontal ...

mREAL-GAN: Generating Multiple Residential Electrical Appliance Load Profiles with Inter-Dependencies using a Generative Adversarial Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this paper, we introduce mREAL-GAN, a generative adversarial network (GAN) for the parallel generation of multiple residential electrical appliance load (mREAL) profiles. mREAL-GAN is intended for use in community-scale low-voltage network analysis, and represents a departure from previous methods for this purpose, which break the generation of ...
