BACKGROUND :
The placement of clavicle tunnels in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is well established, but the optimal position of the coracoid tunnel remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how the ...
Biomechanical and orthopaedic studies frequently encounter complex datasets that encompass both circular and linear variables. In most cases (i) the circular and linear variables are considered in isolation with dependency ...

Inverse problems in engineering form routinely part of larger engineering
simulations. Therefore, the quality of the solution to an inverse problem directly influences
the quality of the larger simulation and, ultimately, ...
Advancements in technology related to energy systems, such as heat exchangers, electronics,
and batteries, are associated with the generation of high heat fluxes which requires appropriate
thermal management. Presently, ...
The study focused on the impact of concentration and temperature on the electrical conductivity,
viscosity, and thermal conductivity of GNP/Fe2O3 hybrid nanofluids. The study found that
nanofluids have better electrical ...
In response to the issues of environment, climate, and human health coupled with the
growing demand for energy due to increasing population and technological advancement, the concept
of sustainable and renewable energy ...
