Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...

A predictive model of energy savings from top of rail friction control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper the authors present a predictive model of train energy requirements due to the application of a top of rail friction modifier (TOR-FM) versus dry wheel / rail conditions. Using the VAMPIRE® Pro simulation package, train energy requirements

Side Wear Prediction of a Subway Outer Rail on Small Radius Curves Based on System Dynamics of Discrete Supported Track

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2022
When a subway train runs on a small radius curve, it causes serious side wear of the outer rail, and a large number of the outer rails of the curve are replaced frequently due to excessive side wear.

Resilience‐as‐doing: A relational model for living practice

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Dominant frameworks treat resilience as a capacity to withstand disturbance and recover, something systems, communities or individuals either have or lack. This paper proposes a different understanding, grounded in relational onto‐epistemology and first‐person, practice‐based, autoethnographic inquiry situated within a household garden.

Combined Effects of Thermal Cycling Aging and Reinforcement Content on the Ball‐On‐Disk Wear of Additively Manufactured Polylactic Acid Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Thermal Aging and Tribological Tests of Additive Manufactured PLA Composites. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the additive manufacturing of pure polylactic acid (PLA) specimens and milled glass fiber (GF)‐filled PLA composites under thermal cycling aging and wear tests. Wear tracks have been analyzed via 3D optical profiling and SEM imaging.
