Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

We develop a data‐driven method to derive the mathematical expressions of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ for the swelling behavior of temperature–responsive hydrogels. Starting from initial assumptions of χ, our workflow combines Bayesian optimization, Flory–Rehner theory, and symbolic regression to generate candidate χ expressions.

KINETIC STUDIES USING SEMI-EMPIRICAL SELF- CONSISTENT FIELD (SCF) MOLECULAR ORBITAL (MO) METHOD: PARTI. A MODIFIED NEGLECT OF DIATOMIC OVERLAP (MNDO) STUDY OF THE PYROLYSIS OF ETHYL VINYL ETHER [PDF]
Using a computer code called MOPAC, an acronym for a general Molecular Orbital Package (Quantum Chemistry Programme Exchange (QCPE) Programme No. 455), the geometries and heats of formation of the reactant, the products and the trdnsition state were ...

Spectrum sensing using empirical mode decomposition and relative entropy
Recently, as many new wireless services emerge, number of the users needing to access the limited frequency spectrum is increased. This brings the need for improvements on efficient spectrum utilization. Cognitive Radio (CR) is proposed as a solution to this problem. Spectrum sensing is an essential component of CR to increase spectrum usage efficiency.
