Weakly Coupled Piezoelectric MEMS Resonators for Aerosol Sensing.
This paper successfully demonstrates the potential of weakly coupled piezoelectric MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) gravimetric sensors for the detection of ultra-fine particulates. As a proof-of-principle, the detection...
A vibrating beam MEMS accelerometer for gravity and seismic measurements.
This paper introduces a differential vibrating beam MEMS accelerometer demonstrating excellent long-term stability for applications in gravimetry and seismology. The MEMS gravimeter module demonstrates an output Allan deviation...
Closed-loop Characterization of Noise and Stability in a Mode-localized Resonant MEMS Sensor.
This paper presents results from the closed-loop characterization of an electrically coupled mode-localized sensor topology including measurements of amplitude ratios over long duration, stability, noise floor and the bandwidth...
A vibrating beam MEMS accelerometer for gravity and seismic measurements
Abstract: This paper introduces a differential vibrating beam MEMS accelerometer demonstrating excellent long-term stability for applications in gravimetry and seismology. The MEMS gravimeter module demonstrates an output Allan...
Mode-localized accelerometer in the nonlinear Duffing regime with 75 ng bias instability and 95 ng/√Hz noise floor.
Mode-localized sensors have attracted attention because of their high parametric sensitivity and first-order common-mode rejection to temperature drift. The high-fidelity detection of resonator amplitude is critical to...

Abstract: This paper introduces a differential vibrating beam MEMS accelerometer demonstrating excellent long-term stability for applications in gravimetry and seismology. The MEMS gravimeter module demonstrates an output Allan...
“Online Learning” Technology Solutions During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has greatly forced the education systems around the world to undergo rapid change. Given today's uncertainty, it is essential to understand students' online learning experiences during the COVID-19...
Impact of Social Websites Testimonials on the Career Choices of Post-Millennials and Millennials in the IT Industry
This article seeks to understand how social website testimonials have been impacting the career choices of post-millennials and millennials and comparison between the two generations have been done to suggest improvements to...
Determinants of Mobile Cloud Computing Adoption by Financial Services Firms
Prior studies have found that mobile cloud computing could bring substantial cost savings to firms, ultimately resulting in reduced transaction cost to customers. Despite this, financial firms in Fiji are slow adopters of mobile...
The role of hydrogen peroxide in hip arthroplasty
Hydrogen peroxide has become more commonly used in hip arthroplasties due to high risk of periprosthetic infections. Its purported roles include irrigation, haemostasis, reduction of aseptic loosening and attachment of...
Influence of consciousness, muscle action and activity on medial condyle translation after Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement
Background
Quantification of the in vivo position of the medial condyle throughout flexion is important for knee replacement design, and understanding knee pathology. The influence of consciousness, muscle action, and...
Fracture of mobile unicompartmental knee bearings
Cases of fractured mobile unicompartmental knee bearings have recently been reported. The purpose of this study was to understand the mechanics behind these fractures and to examine the influence of different design...
Approximation of the functional kinematics of posterior stabilised total knee replacements using a two-dimensional sagittal plane patello-femoral model
Previous in vivo studies have observed that current designs of posterior stabilised (PS) total knee replacements (TKRs) may be ineffective in restoring normal kinematics in Late flexion. Computer-based models can prove a useful...
Analysis of Pediatric Respiratory Disease Trends Using the 2016 KIDs' Inpatient Database
Many infants and young children worldwide have been affected by chronic respiratory conditions. In this paper, the authors performed an exploratory and predictive analysis of the 2016 KID data set to examine respiratory disease...
Optimal acetabular component orientation estimated using edge-loading and impingement risk in patients with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty
Edge-loading in patients with metal-on-metal resurfaced hips can cause high serum metal ion levels, the development of soft-tissue reactions local to the joint called pseudotumours and ultimately, failure of the implant. Primary...
Preoperative pain location is a poor predictor of outcome after Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at 1 and 5 years
PURPOSE: Indications for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) vary between units. Some authors have suggested, and many surgeons believe, that medial UKA should only be performed in patients who localise their pain to the...
Asymmetrical hip loading correlates with metal ion levels in patients with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing during sit-to-stand
The occurrence of pseudotumours following metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA) has been associated with high serum metal ion levels and consequently higher than normal bearing wear. Measuring ground reaction...
Radiological evaluation of postoperative osteomyelitis in long bones
Currently, definitive diagnosis of osteomyelitis involves a combination of clinical signs, symptoms, laboratory tests, imaging modalities and cultures from blood, joint or body fluid. Imaging plays a critical role in the...

Knee replacement for osteoarthritis

Knee replacement is one of the commonest surgical procedures performed in older adults, and its incidence is increasing rapidly. It is the only curative procedure for knee osteoarthritis, and it has excellent outcomes overall...

A semi-automated measurement technique for the assessment of radiolucency
The assessment of radiolucency around an implant is qualitative, poorly defined and has low agreement between clinicians. Accurate and repeatable assessment of radiolucency is essential to prevent misdiagnosis, minimize cases of...
Individual motion patterns during gait and sit-to-stand contribute to edge-loading risk in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing
The occurrence of pseudotumours (soft tissue masses relating to the hip joint) following metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty has been associated with higher than normal bearing wear and high serum metal ion levels...
