Revolutionizing Bone Grafting: A Survey of 3D Printed Solutions
Abstract: Due to the limits of conventional grafts, large bone deficiencies resulting from illness or trauma continue to be a significant clinical challenge. Autografts, while osteoconductive and osteoinductive, are limited by donor availability and morbidity, and allografts/xenografts carry risks of immune rejection and disease transmission. In contrast, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) enables fabrication of patient-specific bone scaffolds with controlled architecture, composition, and bioactivity. Using techniques, like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography …

A Study on CNN-Based Image Mosaicing
Abstract: The intricate tapestry of image mosaicing, while a cornerstone of computer vision, has long been constrained by the rigidity of classical, geometry-driven pipelines. Hand-crafted feature detectors and homography estimators, while effective in controlled environments, prove brittle when confronted with the challenges of real-world scenes: significant parallax, dynamic moving objects, repetitive textures, and illumination variance. This work introduces a fundamental paradigm shift, proposing a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed …

Utility of Corrosion Inhibitors for the Corrosion Protection of Materials in Hostile Environments
Abstract: The term “inhibitor” refers to a material that reduces the rate of corrosion in an environment when added in trace amounts. As a result, the inhibitor functions as a catalyst for those delays. Inhibitors come in a wide variety of forms and formulations. The two most crucial considerations when choosing materials for industrial applications are cost and safety. Physical criteria are typically simple to achieve, but corrosion resistance presents significant …

A Critique of Modernism: A Case of Sagrada Família
Abstract: The Sagrada Família, Antoni Gaudí’s magnum opus, stands as one of the most recognizable and symbolically rich architectural projects of the modern era. In stark contrast to the industrial ethos of Modernism – which emphasized functionality, minimalism, standardization, and mechanized aesthetics – Gaudí’s design embraces organic forms, intricate craftsmanship, and profound spiritual meaning. This paper examines how the Sagrada Família operates not only as a monumental religious structure but also …
