This Drinks paper presents a review of electrothermal micro-actuators and applications.Electrothermal micro-actuators have been a significant research interest over the last two decades, and many different designs and applications have been investigated.The electrothermal actuation method offers several advantages when compared with the other types
Community coalitions can address local SWEETS issues with deep, historic, and contextual understanding that enables customized implementation of evidence-based strategies.The individuals within the coalition, their partnerships, and the social context is likely an important component of unraveling the challenges of implementation so interventions r
This paper deals with fast simulations of the hemodynamics in large arteries by considering a Grains reduced model of the associated fluid-structure interaction problem, which in turn allows an additional reduction in terms of the numerical discretisation.The resulting method is both accurate and computationally cheap.This goal is achieved by means
Abstract Background Laparoscopic large hiatal hernia (LHH) repair remains a challenge despite three decades of ongoing attempts at improving surgical outcome.Its rarity and complexity, coupled with suboptimal initial approach that is usually best suited for small symptomatic herniae have contributed to unacceptable higher failure rates.Results We h
