By solving the dynamic equation, the in-bore motion characteristics of the armature are obtained. The distribution of current in the rail and armature is analyzed based on the magnetic diffusion equation and Ampere’s law. On this basis, three simulation models are proposed, which correspond to static state,motion state and motion state considering the velocity skin effect. The magnetic field of the investigated points along the central axes of the armature front end are obtained. The results show that, in static state,the peak magnetic flux density of each investigated point is greater than the other two states. Velocity skin effect leads to a decrease in peak magnetic flux density. The change of motion state has little influence on the peak magnetic flux density of the investigated point that far away from the armature. The calculated results can be used in the electromagnetic shielding design of intelligent ammunition.展开更多

For the recognition of C-shaped root canal system, 1 146 mandibular second molars were selected and examined. Teeth with C-shaped canal systems were categorized by using the radiographic classification criteria and the modified Melton＇s method. C-shaped canals were identified in 397 （34.64%） mandibular second molars by radiography （type I, 31.23%; type II, 38.29%; type III, 30.48%）. Clinical examination showed that 449 （39.18%） cases exhibited C-shaped canal systems （C1, 22.94%; C2, 48.11%; C3a, 15.59%; C3b, 13.36%）. As for the result of the radiographic and clinical combined examination, C-shaped root canals were found in 473 （41.27%） mandibular second molars （C1, 21.78%; C2, 45.67%; C3a, 16.70%; C3b, 15.86%）. The incidence of C-shaped root canal diagnosed by radiographic method was statistically different from that by clinical examination and the combined examination （P〈O.05）. The study indicated a high incidence of C-shaped canal system in a Chinese population. The combination of microscopic and radiographic examination is an effective method in identifying the C-shaped root canal system.展开更多

In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband antenna (UWB) for UWB applications with triple bandnotched characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a square patch with four truncated corners and a partial ground plane with a rectangular slit. The operation bandwidth of the designed antenna is from 2.66 GHz to more than 13.5 GHz. Band-notched characteristics of antenna to reject the frequency band of 3.18 - 3.59 GHz and 4.70 - 5.88 GHz, is realized by inserting two C-shaped slots in the patch, the third band of 9.54 - 12.22 GHz is achieved by slottype capacitively-loaded loop (CLL) inserted in the patch near the feed line. Details of the proposed antenna design and simulated results are presented and discussed.展开更多

Resin-modified glass ionomer cement（RMGIC） was used as a luting agent for the novel C-shaped molar band. The mechanical properties of the band were examined and the retention performance was characterized in the mesial, distal and vertical directions. A clinical trial was conducted using a spilt-mouth design on 50 patients. The novel C-shaped molar bands fit most molars without a repeated try-in process.The use of both nanoHA coating and RMGIC enhanced the tensile（8.00 ± 1.8 MPa） and shear strengths（27.17 ± 8.6 MPa） of the molar bands, leading to high retention in vertical, mesial and distal directions（ p 〈 0.001）. In clinical trials, the C-shaped molar bands had a failure rate（15%） comparable to that of traditional bands, and 93% of the failed bands demonstrated an adhesive remnant index score of 0, corroborating the observation that no luting agent residue remained on the tooth surface in most cases. The novel C-shaped molar bands appear to be a promising appliance that requires further clinical investigations, and may be used effectively in orthodontics.展开更多

The flow visualization by CFD-based simulations reveals that local resonance is a result of constructive interference between the incident wave and the wave radiated from the cavity of the C-shaped cylinder. The wave-induced water motion inside the cavity acts as a source of generating this radiated wave, which has the same angular wave frequency and wavenumber but opposite propagation direction as the incident wave. In addition, it is found from the CFD-based simulations that the energy dissipation increases as the opening of the C-shaped cylinder becomes shorter and sharper, along with an increase in its outer radius, and the variation trend of energy dissipation is only affected by the outer radius. Meanwhile, except for very small opening lengths, variations in opening length, width, and outer radius do not significantly impact the wave attenuation effect of the C-shaped cylinder array. Moreover, the results obtained by CFD and the linear potential flow model are compared. The linear potential flow theory is proven to be a reliable approach for accurately predicting the local resonant frequency and transmission coefficients within the local resonant band across a range of geometric parameters. However, it is noted that this theory may have limitations when applied to cases with extremely small opening lengths, where it struggles to accurately predict the local resonant frequency and the intensity of local resonance.展开更多
