The primary goal of this paper is to create a new fractional boundary element method (BEM) model for bio-thermomechanical problems in functionally graded anisotropic (FGA) nonlinear viscoelastic soft tissues. governing equations are briefly presented, including the dual-phase-lag (DPL) bioheat and Biot’s model. more complex shapes tissues can be handled by method, which also avoids need interio...

PURPOSE The authors present initial progress toward a clinically compatible x-ray phase contrast CT system, using glancing-angle x-ray grating interferometry to provide high contrast soft tissue images at estimated by computer simulation dose levels comparable to conventional absorption based CT. METHODS DPC-CT scans of a joint phantom and of soft tissues were performed in order to answer sev...

We present extensive experimental and theoretical investigations on the structure, phase behavior, dynamics and rheology of model soft-hard colloidal mixtures realized with large, multiarm star polymers as the soft component and smaller, compact stars as the hard one. The number and length of the arms in star polymers control their softness, whereas the size ratio, the overall density and the c...

This paper analyses and compares PWM control strategy of control and buffer type soft switching half bridge DC/DC converter. Finally, the soft switching condition are analyzed, and this article gets the realization of soft switching conditions of the three half bridge DC/DC converter and the influence factors of soft switching conditions of the three half bridge DC/DC converter. Characteristics...

We report on an optical noncontact method for the detection of soft-tissue tumors based on the measurement of their elasticity. A focused air-puff system is used to excite surface waves (SWs) on soft tissues with transient static pressure. A high-speed phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography system is used to measure the SWs as they propagate from the point of excitation. To evaluate the s...

BACKGROUND High order modulation and demodulation technology can solve the frequency requirement between the wireless energy transmission and data communication. In order to achieve reliable wireless data communication based on high order modulation technology for visual prosthesis, this work proposed a Reed-Solomon (RS) error correcting code (ECC) circuit on the basis of differential amplitude...

Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy has great application in medicine and military industries due to its capabilities, namely high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In the current research, the effect of aging treatment on microstructure and wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was investigated. Pin on disk wear test was applied to assess the wear behavior. Specimens were first solut...
