Abstract Background Each part of the rear bone structure can become an anchor point for an attachment device.The objective of this study was to evaluate the stiffness and strength of different parts of the rear lumbar bone structure by axial compression damage experiments.Methods Five adult male lumbar bone structures from L2 to L5 were exposed.The
With high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into power systems, microgrid has showed great advantages of enabling efficient and reliable operation of distribution grids with high flexibilities and robustness.This paper discusses the recent advancements of microgrid development with particular focus on different dispatch, Booster Se
Abstract The gastrointestinal tract harbors diverse microorganisms in the lumen.Epithelial cells segregate the luminal microorganisms from immune cells in the lamina propria by constructing chemical and physical barriers through the production of various factors to prevent excessive immune responses against microbes.Therefore, perturbations of epit
This paper presents a novel adaptive parallel Expected Improvement (EI) infilling strategy for Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) by introducing a two-staged Lifestyle Non-parametric Population Monte Carlo Sampling (NPMS) scheme.The samples are uniformly generated from EI function in the first stage and converge to sub-domains of high EI values th
