Energy redistribution patterns in damaged elastic frames
An open source pipeline for design of experiments for hyperelastic models of the skin with applications to keloids
...
The aim of this work is to characterize the mechanical parameters governing the in-plane behavior of human skin and, in particular, of a keloid-scar. We consider 2D hyperelastic bi-material model of a keloid and the surrounding healthy skin. The problem of finding the optimal model parameters that minimize the misfit between the model observations ...
The effects of bracing on sagittal spinopelvic parameters and Cobb angle in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis: A bef...
Published in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation
This study aims to evaluate the effects of bracing on the Cobb angle and sagittal spinopelvic parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. A total of 25 adolescents (2 males, 23 females; mean age 12.7±1.6; range, 10-15 years) with AIS who received bracing between January 2000 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The initial...
Uporaba laserske naprave Speedmarker CL 30 W za vžiganje odprtin v tablete na osnovi osmotske črpalke
Zdravila imajo pomembno vlogo pri zdravljenju in preprečevanju bolezni, tako pri ljudeh kot pri živalih. V zadnjem času se v okolju nahaja vse več zdravil, ki lahko negativno vplivajo na okolje. Najdemo jih v površinskih vodah, kot so jezera in reke, pa tudi v podzemni vodi, zemlji in celo pitni vodi. Med zdravila, ki imajo močan vpliv na okolje, s...
Non-reflecting boundary used for simulating ground born vibrations caused by the moving train loads
Published in Journal of Vibroengineering
In the very early the problem of train induced ground vibrations has received considerable attention, due to the sever effect of wheel-rail interaction force on the railway infrastructures and nearby buildings. To predicate and mitigate such vibration problems, three dimensional finite element packages are most recently and widely used numerical me...
Laser-Assisted aPDT Protocols in Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials in Dentistry: A Systematic Review
Published in Dentistry Journal
Background: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as an effective alternative method for the adjunctive treatment of all classes of oral infections. The multifactorial nature of its mechanism of action correlates with various influencing factors, involving parameters concerning both the photosensitizer and the light delivery s...
Conditions of the Presence of Bimodal Amplitude Distribution of Two-Process Surfaces
Published in Materials
Two-process surfaces are functionally important. They contain plateau and valley parts. They are created by superimpositions of two one-process textures of Gaussian probability height distributions. It is expected that the resulting two-process surface would have bimodal height probability distribution. However, typically two-process textures have ...
Spremljanje učinkovitosti pilotne infiltracijske male komunalne čistilne naprave
Svet se srečuje s čedalje hujšim pomanjkanjem vodnih virov. Ob tej problematiki znanstveniki iščejo rešitve, kako čim več vode prihraniti in predvsem kako ponovno uporabiti vodo. Eden izmed najbolj efektivnih načinov ponovne uporabe vode je čiščenje odpadne vode s pomočjo komunalnih čistilnih naprav. V diplomski nalogi sem preučevala učinkovitost i...
Application of the continuous wavelet transform for the analysis of pathological severity degree of electromyograms (EMG...
Published in Polish Journal of Medical Physics and Engineering
The aim of this work was twofold: first, to propose signal processing methods for assessing the temporal and spectral changes of parameters (mean absolute value, the energy and standard deviation as temporal parameters, total and mean power as frequency parameters) of the surface myoelectric signal of the various patient groups like normal, myopath...
A Phase Transition for Large Values of Bifurcating Autoregressive Models
We describe the asymptotic behavior of the number Z(n)[a(n), infinity) of individuals with a large value in a stable bifurcating autoregressive process, where a(n) -> infinity. The study of the associated first moment is equivalent to the annealed large deviation problem of an autoregressive process in a random environment. The trajectorial behavio...
