Stiffness Prediction of Beech Wood Flour Polypropylene Composite by using Proper Fiber Orientation Distribution Function

One of the most famous methods to predict the stiffness of short fiber composites is micromechanical modeling. In this study, a Representative Volume Element (RVE) of a beech wood flour natural composite has been designed and the orientation averaging approach has been utilized to predict its stiffness tensor. The novelty of this work is in finding the proper fiber orientation distribution func...

Sparse Solution of Fiber Orientation Distribution Function by Diffusion Decomposition

Fiber orientation is the key information in diffusion tractography. Several deconvolution methods have been proposed to obtain fiber orientations by estimating a fiber orientation distribution function (ODF). However, the L 2 regularization used in deconvolution often leads to false fibers that compromise the specificity of the results. To address this problem, we propose a method called diffus...

Effects of Cells Density and Positioning on Optimized FTIR Biospectroscopy

Researchers have found a big interest in biological application of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Evaluating many diseases, staging them and studying the chemical structures of different formed compounds in diseases are some of the research applications of FTIR. Cancer is also one of these diseases. Researchers are trying to set up FTIR methods to detect and diagnose cancer cel...

Identification of Pathway Fiber Orientation

The ability to record accessory atrioventricular (AV) pathway activation consistently may be uniquely beneficial in improving pathway localization, identifying anatomic relations, and providing insight into unusual conduction properties. For the purpose of recording left AV accessory pathway activation, an electrode catheter was specially designed for use in the coronary sinus. The orthogonal c...
