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 ...

Abstract—Police investigations involving digital evidence tend to focus on forensic examination of storage units on personal electronic devices (laptops, smartphones, etc). However, a number of factors are making digital ...

Adaptive systems are critical for future space and other unmanned and intelligent systems. Verification of these systems is also critical for their use in systems with potential harm to human life or with large financial ...

This paper presents an overview of simulated and custom models for a wireless data acquisition system. The output signalfrom the transmitter was encoded to digital signal based on one of the Pulse Coding Modulation (PCM) ...

Teaching and learning in any subject can sometimes become mundane but in order that our students are motivated it is sometimes necessary to use an approach which makes the process a very big adventure. Over the past three ...
