[Experiments on new synthetic and non-absorbable surgical threads].
Polimery w medycynie, 1998 The aim of this work was a complex evaluation of synthetic non-absorbable surgical threads of the latest, so called 3rd generation: Novafil, Monolene and Fore-Tex. Biological tests in vivo were carried on 90 white rats of the Wistar tribe. The animals were divided into three experimental groups depending on the kind of the implanted surgical thread ...

Synthetic Speech Discrimination using Pitch Pattern Statistics Derived from Image Analysis [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, we extend the work by Ogihara, et al. to discriminate between human and synthetic speech using features based on pitch patterns. As previously demonstrated, significant differences in pitch patterns between human and synthetic speech can ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...
