Demographic studies of many bird species are challenging because their nests are cryptic, resulting in few nests being found. To maximize statistical power, methods are needed that minimize disturbance while yielding as much information per nest as possible. One way to meet these objectives is to use miniature thermal data loggers to precisely date nest fates. Our objectives, therefore, were to (1)...
Microstructural simulations of bone remodeling are particularly relevant in the clinical management of osteoporosis. Before a model can be applied in the clinics, a validation against controlled in vivo data is crucial. Here we present a strain-adaptive feedback algorithm for the simulation of trabecular bone remodeling in response to loading and pharmaceutical treatment and report on the results...
Cyclic mechanical loading augments trabecular bone mass, mainly by increasing trabecular thickness. For this reason, we hypothesized that an in silico thickening algorithm using open-loop control would be sufficient to reliably predict the response of trabecular bone to cyclic mechanical loading. This would also mean that trabecular bone adaptation could be modeled as a system responding to an input...
A today's trend within the aircraft industry is towards a so-called More Electric Aircraft (MEA) architecture, using electric power as single type of energy to supply most of the systems on board of an air vehicle. Besides the various advantages, e.g. improved efficiency, reduced operating costs, etc., this will increase the complexity of the electrical system and therefore have an impact on the related...
