Radiostereometric Analysis in Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty; An Analysis of Marker Placement

Background: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is a technique to assess early migration, which has a predictive value for early failure of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). To successfully analyze the RSA images it is important to have a sufficient amount of visiblemarkers with an acceptable three-dimensional distribution.<br/>Objective:...

Effects of Noise on Cooperation in Harsh Environments

Interactions in the real world are subject to mistakes and miscommunications. The presence of this noise in interactions challenges cooperation, as one party cannot determine whether the other party did not cooperate on purpose. The Prisoner's Dilemma has commonly been used to study mutual cooperation. Strategies like Tit for Tat that do well in...

A lightweight cart frame design that makes use of topology optimization

Topology optimization is a bio-inspired optimization method based on the growth of bones. With this method, the optimal material distribution with the minimal amount of material for a product can be defined. This could help engineers to create innovative lightweight designs and get rid of benchmark and pervious design on which current designs...
