Continuous Optimization of Adaptive Quadtree Structures

, 2018
We present a novel continuous optimization method to the discrete problem of quadtree optimization. The optimization aims at achieving a quadtree structure with the highest mechanical stiffness, where the edges in the quadtree are interpreted as ...

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Why and When Are Evidence‐Based Interventions Adopted in Paediatric Supportive Care? A Qualitative Exploration of the Determinants of Photobiomodulation Implementation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral mucositis is a common and debilitating side effect of childhood cancer and stem cell transplant treatments. It affects the quality of life of children and young people (CYP) and places a strain on services. Photobiomodulation is recommended for oral mucositis prevention in international guidance but is poorly implemented in UK ...

Design and Experimental Validation of a Quarter-Car Pseudo-Active Suspension for Body-on-Frame Vehicles

Actuators
Suspension architecture has long been a central topic in vehicle chassis research and development. Passive, active, and semi-active suspensions provide different trade-offs in performance, complexity, and energy use. The pseudo-active actuator (PAA) is a

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

Specific Modeling Issues on an Adaptive Winglet Skeleton

Applied Sciences, 2021
Morphing aeronautical systems may be used for a number of aims, ranging from improving performance in specific flight conditions, to keeping the optimal efficiency over a certain parameters domain instead of confining it to a single point, extending the ...

Design of a Novel Antenna Array Beamformer Using Neural Networks Trained by Modified Adaptive Dispersion Invasive Weed Optimization Based Data [PDF]

, 2013
A new antenna array beamformer based on neural networks (NNs) is presented. The NN training is performed by using optimized data sets extracted by a novel Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) variant called Modified Adaptive Dispersion IWO (MADIWO).

Experimental study on how free-edge effects impede CTE measurements

Composites Part C: Open Access, 2021
The present paper is focussed on the experimental quantification of free-edge effects and their relevance when laminates’ coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) are determined by means of thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA).
