The Theory of Resonant Cosmic Ray–driven Instabilities—Growth and Saturation of Single Modes by Rouven Lemmerz, Mohamad Shalaby, Christoph Pfrommer, Timon Thomas

“…We develop a theory of the underlying processes that organize the particles’ orbits and in particular their gyrophases, which provides an intuitive physical picture of (i) wave growth as the CR gyrophases start to bunch up lopsidedly toward the local wave magnetic field, (ii) instability saturation as a result of CRs overtaking the wave and damping its amplitude without isotropizing CRs in the wave frame, and (iii) CR backreaction onto the unstable plasma waves as the CR gyrophases follow a pendulum motion around the wave magnetic field. …”

Retrospective Analysis of Full-Arch Zirconia Rehabilitations on Dental Implants: Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction by Vincenzo Marchio, Chiara Cinquini, Fortunato Alfonsi, Stefano Romeggio, Marco Stoppaccioli, Francesco Zingari, Mattia Priami, Antonio Barone

“…This retrospective study investigated prosthetic and implant survival/success rates and patients’ satisfaction for ISFCDPs produced with three different techniques: zirconia-on-titanium (milled zirconia arch glued to a titanium bar), progressive monolithic zirconia (entirely made of zirconia and directly screwed to the implants) and zirconia-on-zirconia (milled esthetic zirconia crowns glued to a milled high resistance zirconia frame). Fourteen patients (five males, nine females) aged 52–80 and treated with 14 ISFCDPs (86 implants) were included in this analysis. …”

Optimize the Synthesis Error in an Eight‐Bar Peaucellier–Lipkin Mechanism Using an Objective Function Maximization Approach and Application to Load Lifting by Abdel Axis Bodie Nguemiengo, Frédéric MBA MBA, Alban Fabrice Lionel Epee, Claude Valery Ngayihi Abbe, Charles Hubert Kom

“…This new method brings a plus, because even when the search space is very large, the algorithm converges quickly and it allows the study to be extended to the generation of circular trajectories by just modifying the ratio between the frame bar and the crank bar. The practical implications of achieving an error as low as 9.07E−06 mm are the design of high‐precision industrial machines with reduced vibration, noise, and premature wear of joints. …”
