The concept of early osteoarthritis (OA) is based on the expectation that if found and treated in the early stage, the progression of the disease might be arrested before affected joints are irreversibly destroyed.This notion of early OA detection can also bear meaning for regenerative medicine (RM) which is purposed to cure a disease by regenerati
This paper examines experimentally and analytically the lateral vibrations of a Jeffcott rotor running at various unbalance states.Using a Bently Nevada RK-4 Chafer Fuel rotor kit, three states of eccentric mass unbalance were assumed in this study: 0.4g, 0.8g and 1.2g.Measurements of the startup data and the steady state data at rigid and flexible
Topography is a critical element in the hydrological response of a drainage basin and its availability in the form of digital elevation models (DEMs) has advanced the modeling of hydrological and hydraulic processes.However, progress experienced in these fields may stall, as intrinsic characteristics of free DEMs may limit new findings, while at th
Light-emitting Diode (LED) lamps have been widely used due to versatility and energy efficiency.However, LEDs are nonlinear loads, the massive usage will inject harmonics into the lighting system, which has influenced the power quality.Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is an important parameter to evaluate the power quality, but the prediction of THD
Background: The use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining has negative effects on human health and the environment.In Suriname, the current gold rush resulted in estimated mercury emissions up to 63t per year.To reduce the use of mercury and the subsequent health impact to gold miners and local inhabitants, knowledge and awareness in
