Abstract: The tricuspid valve (TV) regulates the blood flow within the right side of the heart. Despite recent improvements in understanding TV mechanical and microstructural properties, limited attention has been devoted to the ...

Abstract: Highefficiency optical receivers before and after the coating of Ag film are composed of a parabolic reflector, a solid parabolic second optical element (SOE), and a Fresnel/aspheric concentrating lens. The optical receivers ...

Abstract: Simulation of the mechanical behavior of soft tissues is critical for many physiological and medical device applications. Accurate mechanical test data is crucial for both obtaining the form and robust parameter determination ...

Abstract: In this research, a series of centrifuge modelings, including those with two different superstructures supported by a nonconnected piled raft foundation system (NPRS) in a dry sand bed, was conducted. The superstructures ...

Abstract: We present a datadriven workflow to biological tissue modeling, which aims to predict the displacement field based on digital image correlation (DIC) measurements under unseen loading scenarios, without postulating a ...

Abstract: Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been emerging as an effective, minimally invasive approach to treat cancers. However, a method to quantitatively evaluate the treatment effect after laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) is ...

Abstract: The mitral valve (MV) is the left atrioventricular heart valve that regulates blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle (LV) during the cardiac cycle. Contrary to the aortic valve (AV), the MV is an intimately ...
