The objective of this study was to develop and validate a subject-specific framework for modelling the human foot. This was achieved by integrating medical image-based finite element modelling, individualised multi-body musculoskeletal modelling and 3D gait measurements. A 3D ankle-foot finite element model comprising all major foot structures was constructed based on MRI of one individual. A m...

In the current study the effect of nanoclay content and carbon fiber orientation on the buckling properties of epoxy/nanoclay/ carbon fiber orientation is investigated. Buckling samples were prepared with 1, 3 and 5 wt% of nanoclay and 0, 30 and 45 degrees of fiber orientations based on VARTM technique. The results obtained from the buckling tests showed that adding 1wt% of nanoclay into the pu...

Several techniques have been described in the literature in recent years for the reconstruction of a regular volume out of a series of ultrasound (US) slices with arbitrary orientations, typically scanned by means of US freehand systems. However, a systematic approach to such a problem is still missing. This paper focuses on proposing a theoretical framework for the 3-D US volume reconstruction...

Determining orientation with respect to a known reference plays an important role in almost all modes of navigation. As the sensors required for measuring magnetic field have found their way into portable navigation devices, researchers have started investigating their application to orientation estimation in different environments. Nevertheless, the success of these sensors for orientation est...

Some new 3-(alkylsulfanyl)- 7-chloro-1-phenyl-1H-pyridazino [4,3-e][1,3,4]thiadiazine were synthesized  by treatment of the alkyl-2-phenylhydrazinecarbodithioates with 4-bromo-3,6-dichloropyridazine in alkaline acetonitril. Orientation of the reaction has been determined by X-Ray crystallography technique. The chlorine atom on the number 7 position of these products was replaced by secondary am...

precise registering and transferring of the selected path of insertion and withdrawal of removable, partial dentures is a critical step in designing and fabricating their framework and determining the retention, stability, and support of the completed prosthesis. many authors have addressed this issue in their studies. in this study we present a new technique for registering and reproducing par...

this study extends prior researches by exploring the effect of organizational orientations on export performance. building on the already extensive literature, we developed a model of relationship. a total of 120 usable questionnaires were received from the iranian food industry smes. the results indicated that entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation and learning orientation positively ...

Charge transport in organic semiconductors is strongly dependent on the molecular orientation and packing, such that manipulation of this molecular packing is a proven technique for enhancing the charge mobility in organic transistors. However, quantitative measurements of molecular orientation in micrometre-scale structures are experimentally challenging. Several research groups have suggested...
