(2022-01-22)
Article
Open AccessThis study aimed to investigate the impact of a Mediterranean-style diet on weight loss effectiveness and sustainability in patients with obesity who underwent endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBT), relative to a protein ... -
Reduction of die wear and structural defects of railway screw spike head estimated by FEM
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-11-15)
Article
Open AccessRailway spike screws are manufactured by hot forging on a massive scale, due to each kilometer of railway track needing 8600 spike screws. These components have a low market value, so the head must be formed in a single ... -
Sliding abrasive wear when combining WEDM conditions and polishing treatment on H13 disks over 1045 carbon steel pins
(2021-09-03)
Article
Open AccessForging dies are crucial in forging to manufacture accurate workpieces. These dies are generally made of AISI H steel series and hardened and tempered medium carbon alloy steel. Dies are processed by using high-speed milling ... -

Article
Open AccessNanoindentation experiments in metal surfaces are characterized by the onset of plastic instabilities along with the development of permanent nanoimprints and dense defect networks. This investigation concerns massive ... -
A factorization-based algorithm to predict EMG data using only kinematics information
(2021-07-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEMG analyses have several applications, such as identifying muscle excitation patterns during rehabilitation or training plans, or controlling EMG-driven devices. However, experimental measurements can be time consuming ... -
Personalised high tibial osteotomy has mechanical safety equivalent to generic device in a case–control in silico clinical trial
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-06-30)
Article
Open AccessBackground Despite favourable outcomes relatively few surgeons offer high tibial osteotomy (HTO) as a treatment option for early knee osteoarthritis, mainly due to the difficulty of achieving planned correction and reported ... -
