Development of multisegment steering mechanism and 3-D panorama for automated bladder surveillance system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
A cystoscope is an invaluable tool for bladder cancer surveillance and lower urinary tract pathology diagnosis. The performance of cystoscopy can be improved by automating the procedure to ensure rapid and complete inspection, ...
Tribo-mechanical properties and corrosion behavior investigation of anodized Ti-V alloy
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
In the work presented in this manuscript, a self-organized TiO2 nanotube array film was produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti-V alloy in an electrolyte containing NH4F/H3PO4 and then annealed at different ...
Sequence-Based Simulation Optimization: An Application to Container Terminals
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel method for simulation-optimization that incorporates the sequence in which the decision variables (resource levels) are optimized. The authors hypothesize that implementing such a sequence will ...
Vibration of rotating functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams with nonlinear thermal distribution
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The vibration analysis of rotating, functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams under an in-plane nonlinear thermal loading is studied for the first time. The formulation is based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. ...
Calcium deficiency in hydroxyapatite and its drug delivery applications
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, calcium deficient hydroxyapatites (HAPs) [Ca 10 ? x (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ] [where x = 0 ? 0.3] were synthesised by precipitation method and calcined samples were characterised by Fourier transformation infrared ...
Kinematically admissible folding mechanisms for the progressive collapse of foam filled conical frusta
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the progressive collapse of foam filled conical frusta is investigated analytically using four different kinematically admissible folding mechanisms with varied straight folds. Comparisons are made between ...
Provider selection and task allocation in telecommunications with QoS degradation policy
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
The information age that we are living in is characterized by exponentially increasing needs and corresponding means to access, transmit and use data in a variety of business settings. Fast growing demand, which is translated ...
A combined method to model dynamic recrystallization based on cellular automaton and a phenomenological (CAP) approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium alloys with high stacking-fault energy show continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) instead of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) during high-temperature deformation. During the CDRX mechanism, new ...
Poly(aniline-co-2-hydroxyaniline): towards the thermal stability and higher solubility of polyaniline
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Here, we adopted a donor-acceptor criteria for charge transfer and synthesize the thermally stable copolymers of poly(aniline-co-2-hydroxyaniline) (PA-co-2-HA) by in-situ copolymerization method having different compositions. ...
Influence of tire blowout on the collision of a light pickup truck with a guardrail safety barrier
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This main purpose of this work is to investigate, through a finite-element simulation, the effect of tire blowout on the collision of a light pickup truck with a guardrail, at a speed of 100 km/h. The finite-element model ...
