Sentinel Node Biopsy Imaging in Breast Cancer Scatter Reduction Using 3-Dimensionally Printed Lead Shields
(Wolters Kluwer, 2022)
Background
Point of injection scatter (SPI) confounds breast cancer sentinel lymph node detection. Round flat lead shields (FLSs) incompletely reduce SPI, requiring repositioning. We designed lead shields that reduce SPI ...
Development and validation of a tool for the integration of the circular economy in industrial companies
(Elsevier, 2022)
Circular Economy (CE) implementation is considered an instrumental strategy to help reaching the world's resource, energy, and climate mitigation targets, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. However, ...
Numerical-probabilistic assessment of tempered glass failure based on the generalised local model characterised by annealed plates
(Elsevier, 2022)
Large-scale experimental programmes become unavoidable to characterise the fracture behaviour of glass. Additionally, if non-uniform residual stresses are to be considered, the total effort required increases significantly. ...
Hybrid Transformer Prognostics Framework for Enhanced Probabilistic Predictions in Renewable Energy Applications
(IEEE, 2022)
The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (RESs) hamper their integration to the grid. The stochastic and rapid-changing operation of RES technologies impact on power equipment reliability. Transformers are key ...
A post-processing technique for removing ‘irregular frequencies’ and other issues in the results from BEM solvers
(European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2022)
Within the wave energy community, hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from boundary element methods (BEMs) are commonly used to predict the behaviour of wave energy converters (WECs) in response to incident waves. A number ...
Circularity and life cycle environmental impact assessment of batteries for electric vehicles: Industrial challenges, best practices and research guidelines
(Elsevier, 2022)
Circular economy (CE) strategies, aimed at reducing resource consumption and waste generation, can help mitigate the environmental impacts of battery electric vehicles (BEV), thereby providing a more efficient alternative ...
In-situ analysis of the elastic-plastic characteristics of high strength dual-phase steel
(Elsevier, 2022)
Modeling the elastic behavior of dual-phase steels is complex due to the strain dependency of Young's modulus and high elastic nonlinearity. Since it is assumed that reasons for this are to be found in microstructural ...
Mechanical properties of friction induced nanocrystalline pearlitic steel
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Nanocrystalline structured variants of commercially available alloys have shown potential for boosting the mechanical properties of these materials, leading to a reduction in waste and thereby retaining feasible supply ...
Stability tool for electric power systems with a high penetration of electronic power converters
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
The increasing use of electronic converters is making possible the development of more sustainable, efficient, and reliable electric power systems, but it is also introducing new challenges that need to be addressed. Power ...
Comparative small-signal evaluation of advanced grid-forming control techniques
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
This paper presents the small-signal modelling and analysis of the most recent grid-forming control techniques, namely the matching control (MC) and the dispatchable virtual oscillator (dVOC). These are compared to more ...
