IntroductionThe objective of this study was to determine if a synthetic bone substitute would provide results similar to bone from osteoporotic femoral heads during in vitro testing with orthopaedic implants. If the synthetic ...

This paper aims at examining how firms create and capture value with open source software (OSS). OSS is seen as an excellent exemplar of both peer production and open innovation. Nevertheless, the use of OSS as a form of ...

This thesis describes characterizations of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) in electrochemical and spectroscopic aspects. The cycling performance of a cell was characterized. To study coulombic efficiency of the ...

In this paper, we report on techniques for variability and evolution in Model-based Engineering of Embedded Systems. The techniques are based on an integration of domain-specific languages for embedded systems with ...

Variability management is critical for achieving the large scale reuse promised by the software product line paradigm. It has been studied for almost 20 years. We assert that it is important to explore how well the body ...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an affliction that affects numerous people in an occupational and recreational environment. One area commonly linked to the development of this condition is computer use. This is due to ...

Effective verification and validation are central to medical device software de-velopment and are essential for regulatory approval. Although guidance is available in mul-tiple standards in the medical device software ...

The problem to be studied in this thesis is how to verify a set of mathematical design documents in the sense that if each component is implemented correctly, the whole system should work together harmoniously to satisfy ...

Activist computer scientists, including some of the authors of this paper, have been working against the adoption by governments of commercial, proprietary, insecure, poorly designed and implemented voting systems the ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is believed to occur when the local mechanical stress exceeds the local mechanical strength of the wall tissue. On the basis of this hypothesis, the knowledge of the stress acting ...
