RISSelf-Efficacy Versus Gender: Project-Based Active Learning Techniques in Biomedical Engineering Introductory Computer Programming Courses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineering education has increasingly embraced active learning techniques within a variety of curricula. In particular, project-based active learning techniques have a significant potential to enhance students' learning ...
Mechanical Characterization of Porcine Tricuspid Valve Anterior Leaflets Over Time: Applications to Ex Vivo Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical characterization of the ex vivo tricuspid valve (TV) continues to provide key insights into native valve function and the development of valvular diseases. However, experimental methods to characterize TV ...
Study of Elevation Role in Representing Sociodemographic Status and Susceptibility to Flooding in Birmingham, Alabama
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flood events continue to disproportionately impact low-income and minority groups in Jefferson County, especially in the highly urbanized regions and other areas undergoing major land-use modifications. This paper analyzes ...
Reverse Pupillary Block Slows Iris Contour Recovery From Corneoscleral Indentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Corneoscleral indentation changes the iris contour and alters the angle between the iris and cornea. Although this effect has long been observed, the mechanism by which it occurs remains poorly ...
On the Biaxial Mechanical Response of Porcine Tricuspid Valve Leaflets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Located on the right side of the heart, the tricuspid valve (TV) prevents blood backflow from the right ventricle to the right atrium. Similar to other cardiac valves, quantification of TV biaxial mechanical properties is ...
Controlled Permeation Grouting Method for Mitigation of Liquefaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Evaluation of Drainage Pipes as a Mitigation against Liquefaction-Induced Settlement of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 in New Zealand and Japan caused significant liquefaction-induced damage in both countries. Unlike previous experiences in which damage to infrastructures was the main concern of people and ...
Dynamic Increase Factor for Investigation of Progressive Collapse Potential in Tall Tube-Type Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent decades, vulnerability of tall buildings to unforeseen loads induced by progressive collapse has drawn researchers’ attentions. There is a growing tendency among engineers to design tall buildings using complicated ...
Integrated Investigation of Dynamic Drainage Volume and Inflow Performance Relationship (Transient IPR) to Optimize Multistage Fractured Horizontal Wells in Tight/Shale Formations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents an integrated approach to evaluate the efficiency of fracturing stimulation and predict well production performance. As the pressure disturbance propagates throughout the reservoir during longtime ...
Dominant Role of Cement Paste Content on Bridge Deck Cracking
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The cracking of concrete bridge decks is a nationwide problem. The results of over 100 crack surveys on 40 monolithic composite concrete bridge deck placements supported by steel girders were used to evaluate the factors ...
