Robot-assisted surgeryRobot-assisted surgery or robotic surgery are any types of surgical procedures that are performed using robotic systems. Robotically assisted surgery was developed to try to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically assisted minimally-invasive surgery, instead of the surgeon directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of two methods to perform dissection, hemostasis and resection, using a direct telemanipulator, or through computer control.
Distribution de DiracEn mathématiques, plus précisément en analyse, la distribution de Dirac, aussi appelée par abus de langage fonction δ de Dirac, introduite par Paul Dirac, peut être informellement considérée comme une fonction qui prend une « valeur » infinie en 0, et la valeur zéro partout ailleurs, et dont l'intégrale sur R est égale à 1. La représentation graphique de la « fonction » δ peut être assimilée à l'axe des abscisses en entier et le demi axe des ordonnées positives.
Boundary layer thicknessThis page describes some of the parameters used to characterize the thickness and shape of boundary layers formed by fluid flowing along a solid surface. The defining characteristic of boundary layer flow is that at the solid walls, the fluid's velocity is reduced to zero. The boundary layer refers to the thin transition layer between the wall and the bulk fluid flow. The boundary layer concept was originally developed by Ludwig Prandtl and is broadly classified into two types, bounded and unbounded.
