Relationship between Cervical Spine and Skeletal Class II in Subjects with and without Temporomandibular Disorders by Paola Di Giacomo, Valeria Ferrara, Ettore Accivile, Giacomo Ferrato, Antonella Polimeni, Carlo Di Paolo

“…The presence of TMD as a key factor of changes in neck posture could explain the different result between the two groups about the relationship between ANB and craniocervical angle. This result should be further analyzed in order to better understand if cervical spine changes could be related to mandibular postural ones in the craniocervical space or to temporomandibular joint retropositioning, more recognizable in Class II with TMD, which could determine functional changes in other structures of this unit; neck posture could be the result of a compensatory/antalgic mechanism in response to TMD.…”

Pattern Formation on Alloys by Cluster Ion Beam Irradiation by José C. Jiménez-Sáez, Sagrario Muñoz, Pablo Palacios

“…It is, therefore, evident that sputtering determines the patterning for intermediate angles. However, an analysis of the redistribution factor as a function of the angle of incidence shows that the weight of the redistribution is much lower than that of sputtering in alloys of similar composition at grazing angles due to the amorphization process. …”
