Total limb amputation is quite common in small animals, although most of the indicated pathologies do not need such a restrictive procedure. Exo-endoprosthesis suggested alternative for enhancement biomechanical situation these patients. 3D printing internal part exo-endoprostheses polyether ether ketone (PEEK) evaluated. Two different shapes this part—one radius’ and other cylindrical medullar...

We present a novel visual attention tracking technique based on Shared Attention modeling. Our proposed method models the viewer as a participant in the activity occurring in the scene. We go beyond image salience and instead of only computing the power of an image region to pull attention to it, we also consider the strength with which other regions of the image push attention to the region in...

The release of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) to the subsurface environment can create long-term sources of ground water contamination as the NAPL slowly dissolves into ground water (Mercer and Cohen 1990; Cohen and Mercer 1993). Effective remediation of subsurface NAPL contamination requires that NAPL be accurately located and saturations quantified. This is particularly important for dense ...

The behavior of single-asperity microand nanoscale contacts in which adhesion is present is important for the performance of many small-scale mechanical systems and processes, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM). When analyzing such problems, the bodies in contact are often assumed to have paraboloidal shapes, thus allowing the application of the familiar Johnson–Kendall–Roberts (JKR), Derjag...
