Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...
Mechanism of Lamellipodia Formation01:31

Mechanism of Lamellipodia Formation

Cells migrating in response to external stimuli form lamellipodia, which are thin membrane protrusions supported by a mesh of linked, branched, or unbranched actin filaments. These actin filaments interact with myosin motor proteins, creating the dynamic actomyosin complex within the cytoskeleton. Contractility, or the ability to generate contractile stress, is inherent to the actomyosin complex. It helps cells detect the stiffness of the surrounding ECM and exert contractile force for...
Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.
Viral Replication: Lysogenic Cycle01:16

Viral Replication: Lysogenic Cycle

The lysogenic cycle is a crucial viral replication strategy that allows bacteriophages to persist within host cells without immediately destroying them. This process is primarily observed in temperate phages, such as bacteriophage lambda (λ), which infects Escherichia coli. The cycle allows the viral genome to persist across bacterial generations while keeping host cells viable.Integration of the Viral GenomeUpon infection, bacteriophage lambda attaches to the bacterial surface and injects its...
Locus of Control01:26

Locus of Control

Locus of control describes how individuals perceive the causes of events in their lives, influencing motivation and well-being. Introduced by Julian Rotter in 1954, it is categorized into internal and external locus of control.Internal Locus of ControlIndividuals with an internal locus of control believe their actions determine outcomes, fostering responsibility, self-efficacy, and motivation. For example, an employee may attribute career success to hard work. Research links this mindset to...
Magical Thinking01:29

Magical Thinking

Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Frictional resistance in self-ligating brackets varies with archwire size and tipping moments. Passive self-ligating brackets showed no friction, while active ones increased resistance with larger archwires.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Self-ligating brackets (SLBs) are designed to reduce friction compared to conventional brackets.
  • Understanding frictional resistance (RS) is crucial for efficient orthodontic treatment.
  • The influence of tipping forces and archwire dimensions on SLB friction requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the frictional behavior of various SLBs against conventional and ceramic brackets.
  • To evaluate the effect of tipping force-moments and different archwire dimensions on bracket-archwire friction.
  • To assess the impact of the center of rotation on measured resistance to sliding.

Main Methods:

  • Seven SLBs, one conventional bracket, and one ceramic bracket were tested.
  • Archwires of three different dimensions were used.
  • Tipping force-moments of 0 and 10 Nmm were applied with centers of rotation at the bracket or 10 mm offset.

Main Results:

  • Active SLBs exhibited increased RS with larger archwires without tipping moments.
  • Passive SLBs demonstrated negligible RS across all tested conditions.
  • A 10 Nmm tipping moment increased RS similarly across all bracket-archwire combinations.
  • RS doubled when the center of rotation was at the bracket compared to a 10 mm offset.

Conclusions:

  • Bracket-archwire friction is highly sensitive to the experimental setup.
  • Varying experimental conditions can lead to conflicting findings in RS studies.
  • A 10 Nmm tipping moment at a 10 mm offset rotational center results in approximately 1 N loss of traction force due to RS.
