Donor-Site Morbidity Analysis of Thenar and Hypothenar Flap

open access: yesArchives of Plastic Surgery
Background For the small glabrous skin defect, Thenar and Hypothenar skin are useful donors and they have been used as a free flap. Because of similar skin characteristics, both flaps have same indications.

The Pedicled LICAP Flap Combined with a Free Abdominal Flap In Autologous Breast Reconstructions

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2018
Background:. Previous surgery or slim body configuration can limit the size of the available abdominal flap in autologous breast reconstruction. However, redundant skin and subcutaneous tissue lateral to the mastectomy site can be utilized as the ...

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...

The treatment of soft-tissue defects of the lower leg after a traumatic open tibial fracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The treatment of large soft-tissue defects of the lower leg remains a challenge. The timing of the operation, the most suitable type of tissue, and the decision between local or free flap coverage still remains under discussion.

Wind-tunnel free-flight investigation of a 0.15-scale model of the F-106B airplane with vortex flaps [PDF]

open access: yes
An investigation to determine the effects of vortex flaps on the flight dynamic characteristics of the F-106B in the area of low-speed, high-angle-of-attack flight was undertaken on a 0.15-scale model of the airplane in the Langley 30- by 60-Foot Tunnel.

Irradiated superficial femoral artery rupture after free flap: a case report and review of the literature. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Radical oncologic resection can result in large soft tissue defects with exposure of underlying vessels. Unless immediately covered with viable soft tissue, these vessels are vulnerable to desiccation from air exposure and mechanical trauma.

Flight of the Future: An Experimental Analysis of Event‐Based Vision for Online Perception Onboard Flapping‐Wing Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A thorough analysis of event‐based vision for flapping‐wing robots is presented, with emphasis on hardware integration, suitability under challenging flight conditions, and real‐time performance. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate how these sensors enable robust and efficient onboard perception for ornithopters, thereby advancing autonomy

Tunable Mechanism Enables Robust Surface Perching Under Different Landing Impacts and Orientation Misalignment

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A passive, tunable perching mechanism enables aerial robots to reliably perch onto smooth surfaces. The design integrates a bistable mechanism with a soft suction cup and SMA actuators for active tuning. Experiments demonstrate robust performance by adapting to varying contact speeds and surface orientation misalignments, enabling diverse perching ...
