Abstract
Introduction: We are living a paradigm shift in orthognathic surgery. Several tools and technological advances are being implemented to help improve surgical experience and to offer better functional and aesthetical results. Virtual surgical planning is a revolutionary tool which helps us design the surgical plan preoperatively and establish a surgical protocol specifically designed for that patient. In this study, our goal is to validate the predictability of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery, comparing the final results with the virtual plan. Material and methods: We performed an ICP based super imposition of 3D models of the virtual planning preoperatively designed and the 3D model of the postoperative CBCT using free software (Slicer) in patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The results of the super imposition were saved on the postoperative model and presented as a color-coded map. This was generated as a .vtk file that was exported to another free software that displayed the difference in mm in relevant cephalometric points (point A, point B, pogonion, left and right gonion and first upper molars) in the three axis (x, y and z) between the postoperative result and the virtual plan. Then, we registered these results for all patients and analysed these data. Results: A total of 41 patients were included. The median of the differences in mm between virtual planning and postoperative results were less than 1mm for all cephalometric points, except for both gonion, where greater than 1mm differences were found in the mediolateral (horizontal) direction. For the rest of landmarks, the highest differences were found at A point and pogonion in the anteroposterior direction (0,83mm and 0,78mm, respectively). Conclusions: We found overall small and tolerable differences (<1mm) between the planned movements and the postoperative results. The highest were found at the gonion in the mediolateral direction and mandibular rami, which could be explained by the torque of the proximal segment. The differences in A point and pogonion in the anteroposterior direction were the highest among the rest, which may be related to inaccuracy of the splint in this direction.

Introduction
Success in orthognathic surgery depends not only on the technical aspects of the operation but to a larger extent on the formulation of a precise surgical plan, consistency and capability of achieving predictable, stable results.1 New 3D tools have lately arisen to help us improve accuracy and results, such as virtual surgical planning, which has long been applied in craniofacial surgery but less so in maxillofacial surgery.2 Because of current improvement in imag ing and software, computer-assisted surgery has been increasingly used in orthognathic surgery to improve surgical outcomes.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

Prediction of Ionic Liquids Methane Hydrate Average Depression Temperature via COSMO-RS COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute t...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
