The effect of midsole shape on Running Prosthetic Feet during experimental and numerical simulation of a mid-stance inspired test condition: a preliminary study

This preliminary study demonstrates that interchangeable midsole inserts can significantly alter the mechanical stiffness and ground reaction force progression of a running prosthetic foot during mid-stance testing, with simplified finite element models successfully reproducing the observed trends in global stiffness.

Simulation water movement through the GCL cover using a physical model and HYDRUS-1D software

This study evaluates the performance of HYDRUS-1D software in simulating water movement through various Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) configurations, finding that while the model accurately captures flow trends with high efficiency, it systematically underestimates absolute water volumes due to its failure to account for the hydrophobicity of geotextile layers.

A Physics-Informed Digital Twin Framework for Health Vigilance and Indoor Air Quality Decision Support in Healthcare-Oriented Environments

This study proposes a physics-informed digital twin framework that leverages routine sensor data and mass-balance modeling to enable short-horizon PM2.5 forecasting and uncertainty-aware decision support for indoor air quality in healthcare environments, even when detailed building or ventilation metadata is unavailable.
