Aim
Depression is a prevalent disorder that is associated with adverse health outcomes, but an understanding of its effect in colorectal surgery remains limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of history of depression among patients undergoing colectomy.
Method
United States patients from Marketscan (2010–2017) who underwent colectomy were included and stratified by whether...
We show that unsymmetric BODIPY compounds with one, two, and three methyl groups can be synthesized easily and efficiently by the unsymmetric reaction method. Their steady state and time-resolved fluorescence properties are examined in solvents of different polarity. These compounds show high fluorescence quantum yields (0.87 to 1.0), long fluorescence lifetimes (5.89 to 7.40 ns), and small Stokes...
Additive manufacturing (AM) provides an opportunity to a new design concept in which the manufacturing constrain is released. The engineering design and optimization can include part building parameters to take the advantages of additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology. This paper presents a robotic additive manufacturing process simulation method which pushes one step further in the direction...
This paper presents a method and process to fabricate parts or structures by printing along curved surfaces with use of industrial robots. Software is developed to generate the fabrication path program that can take advantage of the 6-DOF articulated industrial robotics. Unlike the traditional vertically layer-by-layer 3D printing scheme, with the angled printing capability, a robotic fabrication...
This paper presents a robotic automated battery sorting system. Robotic battery sorting algorithm is developed, implemented and tested. A battery measurement device is integrated with an ABB IRB120 robot to conduct the battery sorting test; a pneumatic driven probe station is connected to a measurement device and controlled by the robot controller to coordinate the battery picking-measuring-placing...
