Meta-materials are structures when their small-scale properties are considered, but behave
as materials when their homogenized macroscopic properties are studied. There is an …

In this paper we review empirical studies concerning the effectiveness of stereoscopic
displays in medicine. The domains covered in this review are: diagnosis, pre-operative …

With particular interest on total hip arthroplasty (THA), optimization of orthopedic prostheses
is employed in this work to minimize the probability of implant failure or maximize prosthesis …

The ShapeWorks software is an open-source implementation of a methodology for
constructing compact statistical point-based models of shape called Particle-Based …

One of the crucial factors for short-and long-term clinical success of total hip arthroplasty
cementless implants is primary stability. Indeed, motion at the bone–implant interface above …

One of the most important problems of total hip replacement is aseptic loosening of the
femoral component, which is related to the changes of the stress distribution pattern after …
