Abstract

mong the several findings deriving from the application of complex network formalism to the investigation of natural phenomena, the fact that linguistic constructions follow power laws presents special interest for its potential implications for psychology and brain science. By corresponding [...]

Abstract

Purpose Threedimensional (3D) as-built plant models are required for various purposes, such as plant operation, maintenance, and the expansion of existing facilities. The as-built plant model reconstruction process consists of as-built plant measurement and 3D plant model reconstruction. [...]

Abstract

Purpose An inspection and maintenance system is essential to obtain a proper and stable construction. However, internal inspection and maintenance of the inner parts of pipeline are difficult to conduct. Force effects should be eliminated to accurately inspect the state of a pipeline. [...]

Abstract

This paper deals with a procedure capable to build the scenario tree associated with a parking lot equipped with several bidirectional charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). The scenario tree is conceived to be implemented in multistage stochastic optimization models [...]

Abstract

The observation that hemodynamic forces play an important role in the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system has led to the need for characterizing in vivo hemodynamics on a patient-specific basis. However, the introduction of computational hemodynamics in clinical research [...]

Abstract

© 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Markerless motion capture would permit the study of human biomechanics in environments where marker-based systems are impractical, e.g. outdoors or underwater. The visual hull tool may enable such data to be recorded, [...]

Abstract

Over the last decade, much interest has been developed in biopolymer based materials due to their biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic and non-allergenic nature. Chitosan is a unique biopolymer that exhibits outstanding properties, besides biocompatibility and biodegradability. [...]

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, technologies that produce three-dimensional parts layer by layer from a material, have the potential to revolutionize the paradigm of manufacturing. Furthermore, in recent years AM technologies have sparked intense interest for developing [...]

Abstract

3D printing allows the development of devices in a wide range of sectors, including the automotive industry, construction, aeronautics, food, textiles and also biomedical, among others. There are several technologies being the impression by molten deposition (FDM) one of the most [...]
