There are two different techniques that can be applied for fabricating a nerve cuff electrode: 1. traditionally used silicon rubber tubes or spirals and 2. micromechanical methods. Each technique has its own advantages and restrictions. A hybrid cuff combines desired properties of both: high flexibility, high possible numbers of integrated electrodes, high reproducibility and the ability to emb...

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are of materials for decreasing vehicle weight and consequently reducing fuel consumption. However, forming limitations regarding their low formability at room temperature are found when being manufactured by conventional forming processes. For this reason, development of new forming techniques, such as warm tube hydroforming, is needed to overcome such limitations...

Circular genomes, being the largest proportion of sequenced genomes, play an important role in genome analysis. However, traditional 2D circular map only provides an overview and annotations of genome but does not offer feature-based comparison. For remedying these shortcomings, we developed 3D Genome Tuner, a hybrid of circular map and comparative map tools. Its capability of viewing compariso...

Elaborating on a Maxwellian representation of longitudinal wave propagation in a viscothermal fluid, a general nonlocal macroscopic theory of sound propagation in homogeneous porous media saturated with a viscothermal fluid has been recently proposed. The present paper validates this new nonlocal Maxwellian theory by showing that, in the case of the propagation in straight circular tubes, it is...
