Purpose The aim of this article is to review the current concepts in the indications, results and failure causes of the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with the Pavlik harness. Methods: The reported ...

In a previous article, we studied a then-new class of standardized time series (STS) estimators for the asymptotic variance parameter of a stationary simulation output process. Those estimators invoke the well-known ...

Conventional High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a therapeutic modality which is extracorporeally administered. In applications where a relatively small HIFU lesion is required, an intravascular HIFU probe can be ...

With the growing impact of global warming and depletion of fossil fuels, the necessity of renewable energy resources is becoming more and more obvious. However, investing in intermittent renewable resources, such as wind ...

Many metallic alloys contain a primary and a secondary population of voids, the difference in size reaching up to orders of magnitude. The present study extends Thomason's and Benzerga-Leblond's criteria for the onset of ...

This paper focuses on the utilization of numerical modeling and simulation to improve the performance of a theoretically designed stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system with constant DC voltage. A theoretically designed ...

Design and analysis of modern engineering systems are complicated, mostly relying on computational analyses codes and hence often computationally expensive. Meanwhile, improved computer-aided design and numerical simulation ...

Predictive Maintenance in the era of Internet-of-Things is envisioned to be an important functionality of consumer electronics along with many other application areas. Challenges for Predictive Maintenance within Interne ...
