Abstract: A numerical model is developed to predict zones of thermochemical tooth damage induced by laser radiation. Particular attention is devoted to pulp denaturation, enamel fracture and caries ...

Abstract: Microdimples generated by laser surface texturing (LST) can be used to enhance performance in hydrostatic gas-lubricated tribological components with parallel surfaces. The pressure distribution and ...

Abstract: In an effort to understand the fate of inhaled submicron particles in the small sacs, or alveoli, comprising the gas-exchange region of the lung, we calculated the flow in three-dimensional ...
