ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, simulations were performed by the finite element method (FEM) to determine the tension and displacement in mini-implants and in expander appliance during rapid maxillary expansion, by varying the number and location of the mini-implants.Methods: For the computational simulation, a three-dimensional mesh was used f
Brain Connectivity and Network Analysis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatment or cure.ALS is characterized by the death of lower motor neurons (LMNs) in the spinal cord and upper motor neurons (UMNs) in the brain and their networks.Since the lower motor neurons are under the control of UMN and the networks, cortical degenerat
Frieze Group in Generating Traditional Cloth Motifs of the East Nusa Tenggara Province
Ethnomathematics studies the relationship between mathematics and culture.Indonesia has many traditional cultures.One of them is traditional cloth.The traditional cloth from East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province is called tenun ikat.Since the motif of tenun ikat consists of symmetrical and repeated patterns, it can be generated using Frieze groups.The
