Treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip with the Pavlik harness in children under six months of age: indications, results and failures
(The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery, 2018-08)
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 ...
Multiply reflected variance estimators for simulation
(IEEE, 2018)
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 ...
Integrated HIFU Drive System on a Chip for CMUT-Based Catheter Ablation System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017)
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 ...
Optimization of the regional allocation of wind power capacity
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 ...
Void coalescence in ductile solids containing two populations of voids
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-10)
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 ...
Performance improvement of a photovoltaic system using a controller redesign based on numerical modeling
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-08-03)
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 ...
Tolerance Analysis with Multiple Surrogate Models
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2015-08)
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 ...
Social Internet of Digital Twins via Distributed Ledger Technologies: Application of Predictive Maintenance
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-11)
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 ...
