Variations associated with stenting systems, artery properties, and doctor skills necessitate a better understanding of coronary artery stents so as to facilitate the design of stents that are customized to individual patients. This paper presents the development of an integrated computer simulation-based design approach using engineering finite element analysis (FEA) models for capturing stent...

background: using the method “surrogacy” in which a woman accepts to bear and deliver a child for a married couple is considered as a subsidiary method in infertility therapy. this method is relatively new in iran. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the experiences of the women involved in surrogacy and to reveal some issues related to this method. materials and methods: the m...

This article presents a methodology for building computationally-fast “surrogate model” to simulate land subsidence due fluid extraction from normally consolidated sedimentary basins. The model relies on the extension of classic nucleus strain solution (NoS) in homogeneous semi-infinite continuum heterogeneous basins, which uniaxial vertical compressibility cM varies along depth z following eit...
