Monitoring the shape of morphing structures is essential for their effective and safe operation. However, current sensing systems such as fiber optic ensors are expensive, brittle, and unsuitable for monitoring large shape changes without being susceptible to failure or performance degradation. herefore, a new class of sensors that does not suffer from these serious limitations is presented. Th...

Despite recent advances in software for meshing specimen-specific geometries, considerable effort is still often required to produce and analyze specimen-specific models suitable for biomechanical analysis through finite element modeling. We hypothesize that it is possible to obtain accurate models by adapting a pre-existing geometry to represent a target specimen using morphing techniques. Her...

Closure of donor site of the flap has special problems. Reduction of this site will decrease the morbidity of operation. In this study, we present our experience in donor site size reduction. METHODS Between 2006 and 2008, 15 patients with skin and soft tissue defects underwent operation. In all patients, coverage of defect was performed with various flaps. Substratum horizontal mat-tress sut...

The main aim of this thesis work is to find/implement various methods that convert Conventional Stereoscopic 3D Video (CSV) to Multiview video (MVV). The work investigates different methods that can produce multiple views given a stereoscopic pair from a frame of a particular video sequence and continues with the process of selecting the best among investigated methods that has optimum quality ...

Introduction: It is important to preserve epithelial and connective tissue attachment at its original level after periapical surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the periodontal parameters after using the papilla base flap and the sulcular full-thickness flap procedures. Methods: Fourteen healthy patients with no periodontal disease referred for surgical treatment of periapical lesions...

In this paper, soft-morphing, deformation control by fabric structures and soft-jumping mechanisms using magnetic yield points are studied. The durability adaptability of existing rigid-base jumping improved a soft-morphing process that employs the residual stress polymer. Although rigid body-based used, they driven multiple components complex structures. Therefore, have drawbacks in terms shoc...

due to an adenocarcinoma of the right upper lobe with infiltration of the main bronchus a 49-years-old female patient underwent an upper bilobectomy with sleeve resection. after two completed chemotherapy bouts and signs of sepsis another thoracotomy was inevitable.  as a complicating factor a supracarinal, necrotic and perforating lesion of the trachea appeared. the defect can be initially rep...
