OPTICAL AND PORTABLE EQUIPMENT FOR CHARACTERIZING SOIL ROUGHNESS

Optical and portable equipment for characterizing soil roughness

Knowledge of surface roughness with the consequent presence of crust in the soil is important information for the rational management of environmental resources.Soil surface roughness can be determined by contact and noncontact methods.Contact methods have lower values and precision than noncontact methods.Therefore, the objective of this study was

Development of a 3D-printed bioabsorbable composite scaffold with mechanical properties suitable for treating large, load-bearingarticular cartilage defects

Extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials have shown promise for treating small artucular-joint defetcs.However, ECM-based biomaterials generally lack appropriate mechanical properties to support physiological loads and are prone to delamination in larger cartilage defects.To overcome these common mechanical limitations, a collagen hyaluronic-acid (C
