1. Discrimination of pores and cracks in iron ore pellets using deep learning neural networks
Abstract The discrimination between pores and cracks is an important step in the microstructural analysis of iron ore pellets. While the porosity is fundamental during the reduction process in blast furnaces, cracks are strongly detrimental to the mechanical strength. The usual image processing tools cannot automatically discriminate between these two types

2. In vitro biological activities of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Scedosporium sp. isolated from soil
One of the important fields in nanotechnology is the development of an environment friendly method for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Many approaches show that microorganisms are the most reliable tools for biosynthesis of nanoparticles compared to physical and chemical methods. In our study, fungi have been exploited for extracellular production of metal n

3. Anatomical and histochemical studies of the somatic embryogenesis of Syagrus oleracea from immature inflorescences
Abstract Anatomical and histochemical studies were carried out during the somatic embryogenesis of Syagrus oleracea (Mart.) Becc. from immature inflorescences. Immature rachillas were inoculated on Murashige and Skoog medium with 4.52 μM 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (Picloram) and 2,4-diclorophenoxyacetic acid. Auxin concentrations were gradually r

4. Shape change analysis of tensegrity models
Abstract This paper presents a computational strategy for shape change of tensegrity models to achieve the prescribed target coordinates of a set of monitored nodes via forced elongation of cables. Mathematical formulation for incremental equilibrium equations of a tensegrity model during the shape change analysis is derived and presented. An optimization ap

5. Fabricación de espumas de cobre por pulvimetalurgia
ABSTRACT A method for the fabrication of copper foams by powder metallurgy, employing carbamide beads as space holders, is presented. These are removed by water dissolution before sintering the compact. The method allows for a precise control of the cell characteristics (size, shape and distribution) within an interconnected porosity. The use of metal powder

6. Solving the inverse scattering problem with differential evolution: an experimental validation
Abstract This work shows the experimental validation of a method developed for determining the strain profile applied to a fiber Bragg grating by solving the inverse scattering problem. The non-uniform strain profile is recovered by formulating an optimization problem, solved with an algorithm based on differential evolution. The method has proved to be able

7. Free vibration analysis and design optimization of SMA/Graphite/Epoxy composite shells in thermal environments
Abstract Composite shells, which are being widely used in engineering applications, are often under thermal loads. Thermal loads usually bring thermal stresses in the structure which can significantly affect its static and dynamic behaviors. One of the possible solutions for this matter is embedding Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires into the structure. In the

8. Controlled synthesis of noble metal nanomaterials: motivation, principles, and opportunities in nanocatalysis
ABSTRACT This review describes some principles of the controlled synthesis of metal nanoparticles, focusing on how the fundamental understanding of their synthesis in the solution-phase can be put to tailor size, shape, composition, and architecture. The maneuvering over these parameters not only enable the tuning of properties, but also the maximization and

9. A Quantitative Comparison Between Size, Shape, Topology and Simultaneous Optimization for Truss Structures
Abstract There are typically three broad categories of structural optimization namely size, shape and topology. Over the past few decades various researchers have focused on developing techniques for optimizing structures by considering either one or a combination of these aspects. In this paper the efficiency of these techniques are investigated in an effor

10. Implantation of a biodegradable rectum balloon implant: Tips, Tricks and Pitfalls
ABSTRACT Introduction: A rectum balloon implant (RBI) is a new device to spare rectal structures during prostate cancer radiotherapy. The theoretical advantages of a RBI are to reduce the high radiation dose to the anterior rectum wall, the possibility of a post-implant correction, and their predetermined shape with consequent predictable position. Objecti

11. Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of UAV Under Uncertainty
ABSTRACT: Uncertainty-based multidisciplinary design optimization considers probabilistic variables and parameters and provides an approach to account for sources of uncertainty in design optimization. The aim of this study was to apply a decoupling uncertainty-based multidisciplinary design optimization method without any dependence on probability mathemati

12. A Backtracking Search Algorithm for the Simultaneous Size, Shape and Topology Optimization of Trusses
Abstract This paper presents a Backtracking Search Optimization algorithm (BSA) to simultaneously optimize the size, shape and topology of truss structures. It focuses on the optimization of these three aspects since it is well known that the most effective scheme of truss optimization is achieved when they are simultaneously considered. The minimization of
