A recent asymptotics-based thermomechanical model is adapted and applied to the mould region in the continuous casting of round steel billets, with a view to describing the complex interplay between airgap formation, mould ...

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 describes research-in-progress that explores the applicability and implications of cloud computing in the creation and subsequent capture of value. The quest for the silver bullet of the attainment of sustained ...

Despite the rapid emergence of cloud technology, its prevalence and accessibility to all types of organizations and its potential to predominantly shift competitive landscapes by providing a new platform for creating and ...

The lack of significant breakthroughs in terms of alternative energy sources has caused both fuel consumption and gas emissions to constantly increase. In this context, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions in ...

In its basic form, a variability model describes the variations among similar artifacts from a structural point of view. It does not capture any information about when these variations occur or how they are related to each ...

Variability Management (VM) in Software Product Line (SPL) is a key activity that usually affects the degree to which a SPL is successful. SPL community has spent huge amount of resources on developing various approaches ...

Morphing composite structures are of significant interest due to the fact that they exhibit superior mass‐to‐ stiffness ratios and a large degree of tailorability in comparison to traditional materials and structures. One ...

Over the past decade, deep learning has achieved unprecedented successes in a diversity of application domains, given large-scale datasets. However, particular domains, such as healthcare, inherently suffer from data paucity ...

This study is focused on the effect of droplet length on droplet velocity in liquid-liquid Taylor flows for microfluidic applications. An experimental set up was designed to measure droplet velocity over a wide range of ...
