A selective smoothed finite element method (Selective S-FEM) is developed for dynamic 3D analysis of extremely large deformation of incompressible bio-tissues, using the simplest 4-node tetrahedron elements. In the present selective S-FEM, face-based Smoothed FEM (FS-FEM) and node-based Smoothed FEM (NS-FEM) are, respectively, used for the deviatoric and volumetric parts of the deformation of i...

In this paper, we introduce a novel method for establishing an efficiency map of interior permanent-magnet synchronous motors that are used electric vehicle propulsion, by employing the finite-element (FEM) and neural network (NN) to reduce analysis time. The electro-magnetic using FEM, particularly iron loss analysis, is significantly time-consuming owing nonlinearity post-processing. Moreover...

Post-transcriptional control regulates many aspects of germline development in the Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite. This nematode switches from spermatogenesis to oogenesis and is, therefore, capable of self-fertilization. This sperm-oocyte switch requires 3' UTR-mediated repression of the fem-3 mRNA. Loss of fem-3 repression results in continuous spermatogenesis in hermaphrodites. Althoug...

Male sexual development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans requires the genes fem-1, fem-2, and fem-3. The current model of sex determination portrays the FEM proteins as components of a novel signal transduction pathway, but the mechanisms involved in signaling through the pathway are not understood. We report the isolation of fem-2 cDNAs in a yeast two-hybrid screen for clones encoding pr...

Even when we look at stationary objects, involuntarily our eyes perform miniature movements and do not stand perfectly still. Such fixational eye movements (FEM) can be decomposed into at least two components: rapid microsaccades and slow (physiological) drift. Despite the general agreement that microsaccades have a central generating mechanism, the origin of drift is less clear. A direct appro...

The pressure grouted helical anchor is an innovative soil-cement using the simultaneous drilling and grouting technique. This paper presents a field study numerical simulation to analyze load-displacement behavior of single anchored in marine soft soil deposit. Three full-scale anchors were tested under monotonic tension loading analysis effect Influence helix plates configuration on lifting ca...

We propose a computational method for time-varying spectra based on 3-D vocal tract shape using Finite Element Method (FEM). In order to obtain the time-varying spectra, we introduce auto-mesh algorithm and interpolation. We show the vocal tract transfer function (VTTF) with variable shape continuously.

The finite element methods (FEM) are important techniques in engineering for solving partial differential equations, but they depend heavily on element shape quality for stability and good performance. In this paper, we introduce the Adaptive Extended Stencil Finite Element Method (AES-FEM) as a means for overcoming this dependence on element shape quality. Our method replaces the traditional b...
