Over past years, the fabrication of Ti-based permanent implants for fracture fixation, joint replacement and bone or tooth substitution, has become a routine task.However, it has been found that some degradation phenomena occurring on the Ti surface limits the life or the efficiency of the artificial constructs.The task of avoiding such adverse eff

Abstract Background Incorporating perspectives of health consumers, healthcare workers, policy makers and stakeholders through co-design is essential to design services that are fit for purpose.However, the experiences of co-design participants are poorly understood.The aim of this study is to explore the Plastic Shelving Kits experiences and perce

Hardware specialization is a well-known means to significantly improve the performance and energy efficiency of various application domains.Modern computing systems consist of multiple specialized processing devices which need to collaborate with each other to execute common tasks.New heterogeneous programming abstractions have been created to prog

Desalination plants have an important concern regarding controlling the permeate flow rate and pH during operability.This paper proposes the proportional integral derivative (PID) control design using modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques called autonomous groups PSO (AGPSO) in the two-input Capsule Support Holder two-output (TITO)

Abstract Currently, the clinical treatment of critical bone defects attributed to various causes remains a great challenge, and repairing these defects with synthetic bone substitutes is the most common strategy.In general, tissue engineering materials that mimic the structural, mechanical and biological properties of natural bone have been extensi
