We modified a commercially available synthesis module for nucleophilic [(18)F]fluorinations (TRACERlab(TM) FXFDG, GE Healthcare) to enable the reliable synthesis of 2-[(18)F]fluoro-4-borono-L-phenylalanine ([(18)F]FBPA) via direct electrophilic subst...
Sequential dissection is a technique used to investigate loads experienced by articular tissues. When the joint of interest is tested in an unconstrained manner, its kinematics change with each tissue removal. To address this limitation, sufficiently...
High performance active materials are of rapidly growing interest for applications including soft robotics, microfluidic systems, and morphing composites. In particular, paraffin wax has been used to actuate miniature pumps, solenoid valves, and comp...
The chemical composition of core-shell nanoparticle clusters have been determined through principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) of an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum image (SI) acquired in a scanning trans...
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach to a patient's skull via bone anchors. A rigid and reliable link between such devices and the skull ...
This study focuses on determining the effective Young's modulus (stiffness) of various lattice structures for titanium scaffolds filled with magnesium and without magnesium. For a specific patient implant the success depends on adequate elastic modul...

Due to its porous structure, tunable properties, and nearly isotropic characteristics, the Gyroid Lattice Structure (GLS) is widely utilized in orthopedic implant applications. To effectively reduce stress shielding and enhance implant longevity, it ...
Six-degree-of-freedom robotic testing is used to gain insight into knee function by measuring the biomechanics of cadaveric knees. However, it can be challenging to use cadaveric knees to validate robotic testing methodologies and to compare methodol...
