Optimization of skeletal configuration: Studies of scoliosis correction biomechanics
(Elsevier, 1991)
A scheme for optimizing configurations in models of skeletal structures is presented. Use of the scheme is illustrated through determination of biomechanically optimal correction of a right-thoracic scoliosis by passive ...
Nerve collagens from diabetic and nondiabetic Sprague–Dawley and biobreeding rats: an atomic force microscopy study
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-07)
Background Alterations in rat's nerve collagens due to diabetes may be related to the permanence of damage due to diabetic neuropathy. We (1) provide a methodology for determining the diameters of collagen fibers accounting ...
