Culture of PC12 neuronal cells in GelMA hydrogel for brain tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Restoration of brain functions following trauma or degenerative neural diseases is considered among the greatest challenges in neurology due to the fact that the central nervous system (CNS) does not regenerate on its own. ...
Humans are Well Tuned to Detecting Agents Among Non-agents: Examining the Sensitivity of Human Perception to Behavioral Characteristics of Intentional Systems
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
For efficient social interactions, humans have developed means to predict and understand others' behavior often with reference to intentions and desires. To infer others' intentions, however, one must assume that the other ...
Design development of aggregates cooling systems for hot weather concreting
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes new two designs for ...
In situ strengthening of thin-wall structures using pressurized foam
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
A simple and effective in situ method for strengthening or healing thin-wall structures is presented. In this method, a liquid-state gap-sealing foam is injected within the enclosed spaces of a structure. After injection ...
Hybridized ant colony algorithm for the Multi Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Multi Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem is an extension of the classical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem where different products are transported together in one vehicle with multiple compartments. Products are stored ...
Experimental studies and computer modeling of viscoelastic properties of heart valve leaflets: Implication in heart valve tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Diseased or damaged heart valve leaflets are amongst the major causes of illness and death globally. The currently available treatment of heart valve patients is to mend the damaged valves, but in most severe cases, heart ...
Mechanical and physical behavior of newly developed functionally graded materials and composites of stainless steel 316L with calcium silicate and hydroxyapatite
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the structural, physical and mechanical behavior of composites and functionally graded materials (FGMs) made of stainless steel (SS-316L)/hydroxyapatite (HA) and SS-316L/calcium silicate ...
Solving a large-scale crew pairing problem
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Airline companies seek to solve the problem of determining an assignment of crews to a pre-determined flight schedule with minimum total cost, called the Crew Pairing Problem (CPP). Most of the existing studies focus on ...
Multiple parts process planning in serial-parallel flexible flow lines: part I—process plan modeling framework
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
In recent years, integrated process planning and scheduling models have been proposed as solutions that can bridge the gap between practical process planning and production scheduling. However, most structures of these ...
Robust optimization for the discrete time-cost tradeoff problem with cost uncertainty
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Projects are subject to various sources of uncertainty that hamper reaching project targets; hence, it is crucial importance to use effective approaches to generate robust project schedules, which are less vulnerable to ...
