Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Analysis of best corrected visual acuity following corneal refractive surgery comparing low and standard predicted postoperative keratometry [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: It is a commonly held view in the ophthalmologic community that eyes with sufficiently low calculated postoperative corneal keratometry, less than 35 diopters, should not undergo corrective refractive laser surgery (CRLS) due to the increased

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Canaloplasty: current value in the management of glaucoma [PDF]
, 2016 Canaloplasty is a nonpenetrating blebless surgical technique for open-angle glaucoma, in which a flexible microcatheter is inserted within Schlemm's canal for the entire 360 degrees. When the microcatheter exits the opposite end, a 10-0 prolene suture is

Unexpectedly high corneal flap thickness and ectasia after mechanical LASIK
Revista Brasileira de Oftalmologia, 2023 LASIK is a refractive surgical procedure in which a corneal flap is created to expose the corneal stromal bed. Preoperative estimation of corneal flap thickness is necessary to calculate the percentage tissue altered in LASIK, an important quantitative ...
