Development of an expert system for the simulation model for casting metal substructure of a metal-ceramic crown design.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nowadays, the integrated CAD/CAE systems are favored solutions for the design of simulation models for casting metal substructures of metal-ceramic crowns. The worldwide authors have used different approaches to solve the p...

Design and evaluation of a variable stiffness manual operating platform for laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS).

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Most of the existing robotic platforms for LESS have workspace and load capacity weaknesses, because of the limitation of one single incision. We have developed a LESS manual operating platform of which the stiffness of the insertion tube...

Typha latifolia (broadleaf cattail) as bioindicator of different types of pollution in aquatic ecosystems-application of self-organizing feature map (neural network).

Environmental science and pollution research international
The contents of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in leaves of Typha latifolia (broadleaf cattail), water and bottom sediment from 72 study sites designated in different regions of Poland were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. The aim of ...

Development of a Prediction Model Based on RBF Neural Network for Sheet Metal Fixture Locating Layout Design and Optimization.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Fixture plays an important part in constraining excessive sheet metal part deformation at machining, assembly, and measuring stages during the whole manufacturing process. However, it is still a difficult and nontrivial task to design and optimize sh...

A biomimetic underwater vehicle actuated by waves with ionic polymer-metal composite soft sensors.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) is a soft material based actuator and sensor and has a promising potential in underwater application. This paper describes a hybrid biomimetic underwater vehicle that uses IPMCs as sensors. Propelled by the en...

Using support vector machines to improve elemental ion identification in macromolecular crystal structures.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography
In the process of macromolecular model building, crystallographers must examine electron density for isolated atoms and differentiate sites containing structured solvent molecules from those containing elemental ions. This task requires specific know...

Data Mining and Machine Learning Tools for Combinatorial Material Science of All-Oxide Photovoltaic Cells.

Molecular informatics
Growth in energy demands, coupled with the need for clean energy, are likely to make solar cells an important part of future energy resources. In particular, cells entirely made of metal oxides (MOs) have the potential to provide clean and affordable...

Experimental analysis and mathematical prediction of Cd(II) removal by biosorption using support vector machines and genetic algorithms.

New biotechnology
We investigated the bioremoval of Cd(II) in batch mode, using dead and living biomass of Trichoderma viride. Kinetic studies revealed three distinct stages of the biosorption process. The pseudo-second order model and the Langmuir model described wel...

Sequential interfacial contributions of microplastics to microbial adhesion and metal adsorption.

The Science of the total environment
Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as interfacial substrates for microbial adhesion and metal adsorption in aquatic environments. However, the temporal sequence and causality of MPs-microbial-metal interactions remain poorly understood. ...

Identifying factors influencing trace metal concentrations in urban residential soil using an optimal parameter-based geographical detector model.

Environmental research
Australia's national citizen science program VegeSafe has collected and analysed over 26,000 residential garden soil samples for their trace metal concentrations, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing contamination. H...
