Propulsion of swimming robots at the surface and underwater is largely dominated by rotary propellers due to high thrust, but at the cost of low efficiency. Due to their inherently high speed turning motion, sharp propeller blades and generated noise...
Sea lions swim using primarily their foreflippers, which is uncommon among aquatic mammals. While a significant body of literature exists which investigates the hydrodynamics of body-caudal swimming, relatively little research has looked at sea lion ...
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal Studer pouch formation (ICSPF) is increasingly being performed. Balbay's technique of ICSPF replicates the open approach with the additional advantages of inserting internal Double-J stent...
Pesticides represent some of the most common man-made chemicals in the world. Despite their unquestionable utility in the agricultural field and in the prevention of pest infestation in public areas of cities, pesticides and their biotransformation p...
To describe our experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic dismembered extravesical cross-trigonal ureteral reimplantation (RADECUR)-a novel minimally invasive surgical technique for treatment of obstructed megaureter. A retrospective review of ou...
