This paper provides a current research trend for “Materials Integration”, which is concept to accelerate and development of structural materials by computationally linking among process, structure, property, performance. The survey carried out based on the special issue published in February, 2019 Materials Transactions (Vol. 60, No. 2) overviews November, 2020 61, 11). has been embodied comput...

In this paper we present an analysis of the development process of technology-supported didactic material. Such analysis considers didactic materials as the conjunction of contents and instructional design used to guide learning and teaching processes. And we examine why several features such as reusability, semantic interoperability and collaboration support must be ensured from the earlier st...

Optical fibers, the enablers of the Internet, are being used in an ever more diverse array of applications. Many of the rapidly growing deployments of fibers are in high-power and, particularly, high power-per-unit-bandwidth systems where well-known optical nonlinearities have historically not been especially consequential in limiting overall performance. Today, however, nominally weak effects,...

This paper reports the development of teaching materials for mechatronics in tertiary education. Current industrial societies strongly require many mechatronic engineers, and most technical universities actually provide mechatronic exercises in their courses. On the other hand, it is a little difficult for teachers and students to freely modify and improve the mechatronic materials provided by ...

Engineered tissue constructs are inherently limited by their lack of microvascularization. Evidence suggests that combining a scaffold material with cells and their cell-secreted signals instigates tubule formation, and various strategies can be employed to tailor the vascular response. This review focuses on rationally designed materials capable of supporting functional neovessel formation and...
