Robustness optimization for rapid prototyping of functional artifacts based on visualized computing digital twins
Abstract This study presents a robustness optimization method for rapid prototyping (RP) of functional artifacts based on visualized computing digital twins (VCDT).A generalized Raw Seaweeds multiobjective robustness optimization model for RP of scheme design prototype was first built, where thermal, structural, and multidisciplinary knowledge coul
The evaluation of sperm DNA damage in patients with different varicocele grades
Aim: Varicocele, abnormal dilatation of pampiniform venous plexus, is classified into three groups: 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade.The aim of our Classes-Events research is to show the differences among the three different varicocele grades based on the results of their sperm DNA damage and blood biochemical parameters.Methods: We examined 30 patients whic
The late Miocene Phractocephalus catfish (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) from Urumaco, Venezuela: additional specimens and reinterpretation as a distinct species
Based on additional specimens the fossil pimelodid catfish from the upper Miocene Urumaco Formation, Falcón State, Venezuela originally assigned to the extant species Phractocephalus hemioliopterus is described as a new, extinct species.†Phractocephalus nassi n.sp.is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: 1) posterior half of fron
Potential early predictors for outcomes of experimental hemorrhagic shock induced by uncontrolled internal bleeding in rats.
Uncontrolled hemorrhage, resulting from traumatic injuries, continues to be the leading cause of death in civilian and military environments.Hemorrhagic deaths usually occur within the first 6 hours of admission to hospital; therefore, early prehospital identification of patients who are at risk for developing shock may improve survival.The aims of
