The fundamental period is one of the most critical parameters for the seismic design of structures. There are several literature approaches for its estimation which often conflict with each other, making their use questionable. Furthermore, the major...
This study explored a novel strategy to restore the vocal gap by using cross-linked β-glucan hydrogel by γ-irradiation. An aqueous solution of 5 wt% β-glucan was prepared and cross-linked using (60)Co γ irradiation. Ten nude mice were injected with 0...
The integration of tactile information, such as contact area, displacement magnitude, velocity, and acceleration, is paramount to the optimization of robotics in human-centric environments. Cost effective embeddable sensors with scalable receptive fi...

PURPOSE: The hysteresis operation is an outstanding issue in tendon-driven actuation--which is used in robot-assisted surgery--as it is incompatible with kinematic mapping for control and trajectory planning. Here, a new tendon-driven continuum robot...
This study evaluated the ex vivoantimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with chemomechanical debridement (CMD) and intracanal medication on Candida albicans. Seventy-eight sterile premolars were cont...

BACKGROUND: Under controlled conditions, the Dose Safety artificial pancreas (AP) system controller, which utilizes "fuzzy logic" (FL) methodology to calculate and deliver appropriate insulin dosages based on changes in blood glucose, successfully ma...
BACKGROUND: Anterior knee pain is often associated with patellar maltracking and instability. However, objective measurement of patellar stability under clinical and experimental conditions is difficult, and muscular activity influences the results. ...
