Maintenance and Sustainability: Decision Support Tools and Role of Maintenance Digital Transformation
(2023-03)
Maintenance is a crucial activity conducted throughout the use phase of the engineered object life cycle, which has tremendous impact on all three pillars of sustainability. While economic and technical impacts of maintenance ...
Efficiency of parallel anisotropic mesh adaptation for the solution of the bidomain model in cardiac tissue
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Electrocardiology models are nonlinear reaction–diffusion type systems, where the numerical simulation requires extremely fine meshes to accurately compute the heart’s electrical activity. Anisotropic mesh adaptation methods ...
Numerical modelling of hyperbolic phase change problems: Application to continuous casting
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Heat diffusion processes are generally modeled based on Fourier’s law to estimate how the temperature propagates inside a body. This type of modeling leads to a parabolic partial differential equation, which predicts an ...
A mixed finite element method for nonlinear radiation–conduction equations in optically thick anisotropic media
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
We propose a new mixed finite element formulation for solving radiation–conduction heat transfer in optically thick anisotropic media. At this optical regime, the integro-differential equations for radiative transfer can ...
A Simulation Study of the Role of Mechanical Stretch in Arrhythmogenesis during Cardiac Alternans
(Biophysical Society, 2021-01)
The deformation of the heart tissue due to the contraction can modulate the excitation, a phenomenon referred to as mechanoelectrical feedback (MEF), via stretch-activated channels. The effects of MEF on the electrophysiology ...
A Low Power Frequency Synthesizer Design for Wireless Power Transfer Applications
(2023-04)
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an essential technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) as it enables the deployment of untethered and self-sustaining devices, which eliminates the need for wired power connections. With ...
Recent Breakthroughs in Using Quantum Dots for Cancer Imaging and Drug Delivery Purposes
(MDPI, 2023)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Because each person’s cancer may be unique, diagnosing and treating cancer is challenging. Advances in nanomedicine have made it possible to detect tumors and quickly ...
Brain Connectivity Analysis Under Semantic Vigilance and Enhanced Mental States
(MDPI, 2019)
In this paper, we present a method to quantify the coupling between brain regions under vigilance and enhanced mental states by utilizing partial directed coherence (PDC) and graph theory analysis (GTA). The vigilance state ...
Ultrasound-responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Treatment: a review
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
The safe and effective delivery of anticancer agents to diseased tissues is one of the significant challenges in cancer therapy. Conventional anticancer agents are generally cytotoxins with poor pharmacokinetics and ...
