Technology evolution and wide research attention on 3D printing efficiency processes have given the prompt need to reach an understanding about each technique’s prowess deliver superior quality levels whilst showing economical process viability become mainstream. Studies in field struggled predict singularities that arise during most Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) practices; therefore, diverse individual description of parameters been performed, but a relationship study between them has not...
Sustainable design aims at the creation of physical objects, environment and services that complies to optimize social, economic, ecological impact. QFD is able assess product by choice definition parameters can be qualitatively discussed. The purpose meet a need in new ways innovative ways. In this context, evaluating quality process. TRIZ method aim defining overcome some critical issue affect development product, means potential solutions. paper QDF analysis have been adopted order...
Objective. The study was part of a randomized open‐label clinical trial designed to evaluate the effects intra‐articular injections hyaluronan (Hyalgan®) (HY) in osteoarthritis (OA) human knee. Data were compared with those obtained after treatment methylprednisolone acetate (Depomedrol®) (MP).
ABSTRACT Virtual reality (VR) technologies have shown significant potential in enhancing the automotive design process by providing immersive, interactive, and collaborative environments for reviewing complex vehicle architectures. Traditional CAD models physical prototypes often struggle to offer flexibility needed rapid iteration spatial understanding, especially systems such as hydrogen‐powered commercial vehicles. This study aims develop a VR platform improve review of internal...
To evaluate the presence of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and expression IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) in joint tissues from subjects with different arthritides.Immunohistochemistry was used on frozen synovial cartilage biopsies to identify cells expressing IL-17R.IL-17 staining present only rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (seven out nine cases). IL-17R expressed by all evaluated except for three cases post-traumatic (PTA). Vascular endothelial mainly IL-17R. The percentage IL-17R(+) vessels highest RA...
The planning activity relative to physical items, environment, and services that adapts optimize social, economic, ecological impact is the target of sustainable design. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) achieves product design by choosing defining factors can be qualitatively argued. aim match needs in new innovative ways. In this perspective, QFD aims evaluate quality a process. TRIZ methodology at overcoming some critical issues affect development product, means potential solutions....
This paper presents the application of a low-cost 3D printing technology in pre-operative planning and intra-operative decision-making. Starting from Computed Tomography (CT) scans, we were able to reconstruct model area interest with very simple rapid workflow, using open-source software an entry level printer. The use High Temperature Poly-Lactic Acid (HTPLA) by ProtoPasta allowed fabricating sterilizable models, which could be used within surgical field. We believe that our method is...
A significant issue in aircraft engines is quantifying residual life to overhaul. The algorithm described this paper calculates with a good level of reliability the petrol piston engine. method was tested on small, latest-generation, naturally-aspirated and racing engines, has been effective several experiments. This implemented directly electronic control system engine very few lines C-code. can also be used many industrial engines. innovative assumes that only two main factors (power wear)...
The concept of a novel sanitization device specifically designed for helmets used in bike share services is presented this scientific work. system uses ozone, powerful oxidizing agent, to completely remove dust and bacteria from the helmet surface. Throughout development process, special attention has been paid dual initial goals efficacy removing dirt batteries, as well ease use related device's safety. In fact, today's sharing are rarely capable providing adequate disinfection tools, which...
