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 ...
Estimating the Parameters of the Generalized Lambda Distribution: Which Method Performs Best?
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016)
Generalized lambda distribution (GLD) is a flexible distribution that can represent a wide variety of distributional shapes. This property of the GLD has made it very popular in simulation input modeling in recent years, ...
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 ...
Modification of Quartz Crystal Microbalance Surfaces via Electrospun Nanofibers Intended for Biosensor Applications
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-04)
The major aim of this study is to increase the performance of mass sensitive biosensor surfaces by making modifications on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) surfaces via electrospinning and plasma polymerization techniques. ...
Fabrication and characterization of conductive anodic aluminum oxide substrates
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014-11)
Biomaterials that allow the utilization of electrical, chemical and topographic cues for improved neuron-material interaction and neural regeneration hold great promise for nerve tissue engineering applications. The nature ...
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 ...
