Mechanical Investigation of a Novel Bio - Mimetic Morphing Structure

Visual analysis of trabecular bone structure.

Acquiring image data of bone biopsies by a micro-CT scanner is today a common technique. The amount of data to be assessed is huge. The task to assess quantitative measures requires a concise visualization. We present visualization techniques that can be used interactively on state-of-the-art PCs and demonstrate how the frontier can be pushed further. A skeletonization process is applied to the...

A Bio-mimetic Amphibious Soft Cord Robot

Some living beings both on ground and in water can move by forming traveling waves along their bodies, therefore the mechanisms using the traveling waves have the amphibious possibility . Several robots have been developed using the mechanisms, but there are no amphibious robots . In this study, our goal is development of a bio-mimetic soft cord robot which can move on ground and in water. Firs...

assessment of the changes in alveolar bone quality after fixed orthodontic therapy: a trabecular structure analysis

background and aims: tooth displacement changes the periodontium. the aim of orthodontic treatment was desired tooth movement with minimum side effects on the alveolar bone quality. the aim of the present study was to assess changes of alveolar trabeculation among children, youth and adults and the two genders. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 63 patients who had been treat...
