Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Integrating reverse logistics and eco-design: a proposal for a new framework
GEPROS: Gestão da Produção, Operações e Sistemas, 2014 The concepts of Reverse Logistics and Eco-design are discussed in this paper, suggesting that these applications are often treated differently, thus not being able to achieve a higher performance in relation to environmental sustainability. The reason is

A Cryopreservation‐Based Supply Chain Strategy for Extrusion Bioprinting in Space
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Extrusion bioprinting on crewed space platforms requires a bioink that stays functional along the logistic chain. Here, cells and biomaterial ink travel separately, the cells cryopreserved and the ink cold stored, and are combined only minutes before printing.

An Analysis of Stochastic Inventory Control Models in Reverse Logistics Systems Based on a Periodic Review [PDF]
, 2010 In reverse logistics systems demand can be partially satisfied with new items manufacture or procurement and re-turned products value recovery. The products are brought back to the places where they are stored in most models presented in literature on

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A closed U‐shaped microfluidic platform symmetrically embeds a single, size‐controlled HT29 colorectal cancer spheroid within a GFP‐HUVEC‐laden fibrin matrix. HT29 spheroids are associated with hyper‐branched endothelial network remodeling, while vascularized co‐culture is accompanied by anisotropic protrusive growth and EMT‐like marker changes in the ...
