Realistic simulation of tool-tissue interactions can help to develop more effective surgical training systems and simulators. This study uses a finite element and meshless modeling approach to simulate the grasping procedure of a large intra-abdominal orga ...
The last decade has seen a growing interest in air quality monitoring using networks of wireless low-cost sensor platforms. One of the unifying characteristics of chemical sensors typically used in real-world deployments is their slow response time. While ...
With technological progress, humans tend to create engineering systems with constantly increasing complexity and higher operational requirements. Many complex systems require the use of a Health Management (HM) solution to ensure safety and enable lifecycl ...
In our daily lives, our mobile phones sense our movements and interactions via a rich set of embedded sensors such as a GPS, Bluetooth, accelerometers, and microphones. This enables us to use mobile phones as agents for collecting spatio-temporal data. The ...
This paper presents a remote sensing technique for calibrating hydrodynamics models, which is particularly useful when access to the riverbed for a direct measure of flow variables may be precluded. The proposed technique uses terrestrial photography and a ...
Background: Brain imaging has shown that not only the cortico-spinal tract (CST), but also alternate corticofugal motor fibers (aMF), such as the cortico-rubro-spinal and cortico-reticulo-spinal tract, influence residual motor output after stroke. So far, ...
Optical tweezers are commonly used and powerful tools to perform force measurements on the piconewton scale and to detect nanometer-scaled displacements. However, the precision of these instruments relies to a great extent on the accuracy of the calibratio ...
Stream temperature is one of the key variables affecting the habitat suitability of numerous aquatic species. Over the past decades, research efforts on this topic have concentrated on low-land rivers of North-America, whereas mountainous environments have ...
Stream temperature is a hydrological factor which affects the habitat suitability of many aquatic species, and is therefore of great concern in the actual context of climate change. Its prediction in ungauged basins is usually based on statistical approach ...
This paper deals with an efficient implementation of an H multi-variable controller on the three degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel robot namely the Delta robot'. The H controller is designed by the mixed sensitivity approach in which the sensitivity functi ...
