Current status of tissue engineering in the management of severe hypospadias
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Hypospadias, characterized by misplacement of the urinary meatus in the lower side of the penis, is a frequent birth defect in male children. Because of the huge variation in the anatomic presentation of hypospadias, no ...
Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
An experimental program was implemented to study pressure losses in HVAC duct systems associated with 305 mm (12 in.) diameter close-coupled round five-gore elbows. The goal of this program was to experimentally verify a ...
Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ...
From Zirconium Nanograins to Zirconia Nanoneedles
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Combinations of three simple techniques were utilized to gradually form zirconia nanoneedles from zirconium nanograins. First, a physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering technique was used to deposit pure zirconium ...
Advancing Service Operations: The Changing Role of Industrial Engineering
(
OMICS International
, 2012 , Article)
Service operations are currently at the hub of economic activities in some parts of the world. Although indicators seem to suggest the existence and future dominance of service economies, such economies will only be ...
A Hands-Free Interface for Controlling Virtual Electric-Powered Wheelchairs
(
SAGE publications
, 2016 , Article)
This paper focuses on how to provide mobility to people with motor impairments with the integration of robotics and wearable computing systems. The burden of learning to control powered mobility devices should not fall ...
A Method for 3-D Printing Patient-Specific Prosthetic Arms with High Accuracy Shape and Size
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Limb amputation creates serious emotional and functional damage to the one who lost a limb. For some upper limb prosthesis users, comfort and appearance are among the desired features. The objective of this paper is to ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
A new insight in determining the percolation threshold of electrical conductivity for extrinsically conducting polymer composites through different sigmoidal models
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
The electrical conductivity of extrinsically conducting polymer composite systems passes through a transition state known as percolation threshold. A discussion has been made on how different Sigmoidal models (S-models), ...
Thermal comfort investigation of an outdoor air-conditioned area in a hot and arid environment
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Thermal comfort in hot and arid outdoor environments is an industrial challenging field. An outdoor air-conditioned area was designed and built to host sport and social events during summers 2014 and 2015 in Qatar. This ...
