Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIterative Process to Improve Simple Adaptive Subdivision Surfaces Method for Triangular MeshesNoor Asma Husain, Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim, Abdullah BadeProblem statement: Subdivision surfaces were applied to the entire meshes in order to produce smooth surfaces refinement from coarse mesh. Several schemes had been introduced in this area to provide a set of rules to converge smooth surfaces. However, to compute and render all the vertices are really inconvenient in terms of memory consumption and runtime during the subdivision process. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Ultra-Precision Polishing of Large Aperture Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide MirrorYong Shu, Yifan Dai, Ziwen Zheng, Shengyi LiProblem statement: Silicon Carbide (SiC) optical materials have become the first choice for mirrors in space optical systems and large ground-based optical systems due to their outstanding mechanical, physical and optical properties. Compared with traditional optical glasses, SiC optical materials are provided with the characteristics of high hardness and multiphase, which embarrass the high efficient fabrication of SiC mirrors with … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2011 · 10,815 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractHistopathology of Microbially Induced Corrosion and Cluster Failure of Moderately Rough Surface Oral Implants in a Resident Bone MicrobiotaStephen Nelson, Helen Hu et al.This case report presents as a maxillary "cluster-failure", where six moderately rough-surface oral implants (1-2 microns) were installed to support a full-arch hybrid bridge. Understanding cluster failures requires the acknowledgment of biofilm science that recognizes the persistence of bacterial infection in bone following extraction and the need to bioremediate the bone-bed, by surgical debridement, before implant installation. The patient, a … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2024 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Living, Resident Bacterial Biofilm Populations in the Osseointegration of Oral ImplantsStephen Nelson, Honghua Hu et al.This study presents a human jawbone model which explains bone health, disease and quality and the osseointegration interphase, at the cell level. Curation of 454 pyrosequencing data obtained from 153 bone, serous-effusion and granulation samples taken from 40 patients during two-stage dental implant installation, revealed a 20 phyla jawbone microbiome with total genera of 387. Multivariate statistical ordination of curated … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2023 · 8,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of a Lunar Lander's Landing SystemAnurag Talekar, Ajinkya Dabholkar, Ajinkya Thombe et al.In the overall design and performance prediction of spacecraft intended to accomplish delicate landing on the moon, touchdown dynamics analysis during the landing phase is one of the most important task. Missions in the past have experienced toppling of the lander due to the surface on the lunar body being covered with dead volcanoes and impact craters that restrict the … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Jun 2021 · 9,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDefect Detection on 3D Print Products and in Concrete Structures Using Image Processing and Convolution Neural NetworkSelorm Garfo, M.A. Muktadir, Sun YiThis paper explores the automated detection of surface defects on 3-D printed products and concrete structures. They are the main factors to evaluate their quality in addition to dimension and roughness. Traditional detection by human inspectors is far from satisfactory. Manual inspection is time-consuming, error-prone and often leads to loss of resources. For this purpose, image processing and deep learning-based … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 May 2020 · 12,608 accessesView PDFCite
