Three-dimensional magnetotelluric modeling of Vulcano Island (Eolie, Italy) and its implications for understanding recent volcanic unrest.

This paper presents the results of an original short-period magnetotelluric survey performed on Vulcano Island (Italy). The obtained three-dimensional resistivity model details structures up to 2.5 km depth, hitherto unexplored.

Enuresis and Punishment: The Adverse Effects on Child Development and on Treatment.

Objective: To investigate the role of punishment in enuretic children and how the punishments can influence therapy response.

Methods: We enrolled 218 enuretic children. The children and their families were asked to participate in the study at the end of the clinical evaluation.

Friction of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures with different dimensions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effect of variations in the size of elastomeric ligatures on the static frictional resistance generated by orthodontic sliding mechanics under dry condition. Frictional forces generated by elastomeric ligatures treated with a lubricating material (silicone) were analyzed as well. An Instron testing machine was used to assess the static frictional forces of a 0.
