Many of the factors affecting recruitment in marine populations are still poorly understood, complicating the prediction of strong year classes. Despite numerous attempts, the complexity of the problem often seems beyond the capabilities of traditional statistical analysis paradigms. This study examines the utility of four statistical procedures to identify relationships between recruitment and...

This paper designs a new composite transmission device for improving the torque by squeezing magnetorheological fluid (MRF) with an electrothermal shape memory alloy (SMA) spring. Based on finite element method, numerical analysis of magnetic circuit and field distribution (MR) is presented, as well theoretical derivation calculation force output SMA spring transfer variable thickness MR transm...

A minimal cardiovascular system (CVS) model including mitral valve dynamics has been previously validated in silico. It accounts for valve dynamics using a second order differential equation to simulate the physiological opening valve law. This second order equation is based on output heart signals and is really difficult to bind with anatomical or physiological parameters, making this model di...
