Managing the energy produced to support industries and various human activities is highly relevant nowadays. Companies in the electricity markets of each country analyze the generation, transmission, and distribution of energy to meet the energy needs of various sectors and industries. Electrical markets emerge to economically analyze everything re...

Many factors influence the problems that currently exist in the learning-teaching process of programming. The use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) makes the experience a complicated process because these IDEs focus on professional programmers and not on novice learners. This also affects the classrooms of the university “Pontificia Un...

Contribution: This is one of the first studies that evaluated the combination of an Agile framework (i.e., Scrum) along with the Service-Learning methodologies applied to education settlement. Another tool that would help improve educational delivery quality is the Service-Learning methodology that enables students to experience hands-on learning b...

Feature models (FMs) appeared more than 30 years ago, and they are valuable tools for modeling the functional variability of systems. The automated analysis of feature models (AAFM) is currently a thriving, motivating, and active research area. The product configuration of FMs is a relevant and helpful operation, a crucial activity overall with lar...

Even though machine learning (ML) applications are not novel, they have gained popularity partly due to the advance in computing processing. This study explores the adoption of ML methods in marketing applications through a bibliographic review of the period 2008–2022. In this period, the adoption of ML in marketing has grown significantly. This gr...

Variability-intensive systems are software systems in which variability management is a core activity. Examples of variability-intensive systems are the web content management system Drupal, the Linux kernel, and the Linux Debian distributions. Feature models have been considered useful tools for modeling variability-intensive systems for more than...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term for children’s conditions due to their mother having consumed alcohol during pregnancy. These conditions can be mild to severe, affecting the subject’s quality of life. An earlier diagnosis of FASD is crucial for an improved quality of life of children by allowing a better inclusion in the...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a syndrome whose only difference compared to other children's conditions is the mother's alcohol consumption during pregnancy. An earlier diagnosis of FASD improving the quality of life of children and adolescents. For this reason, this study focus on evaluating the use of the artificial neural network (ANN...

This paper outlines a computational model for the analysis of the piezoelectric behaviour of the vertebral body remodelling process. Particular attention is paid to the algorithms for the simulation of the stress energy density for each point of the geometry and the distribution of the density in the bone. In addition, the model takes into account...

Piezoelectric materials exhibit a response to mechanical-electrical coupling, which represents an important contribution to the electrical-mechanical interaction in bone remodeling process. Therefore, the study of the piezoelectric effect on bone remodeling has high interest in applied biomechanics. The effects of mechano-regulation and electrical...

Este volumen recoge los aportes presentados en el XIII Congreso Internacional de Métodos Numéricos y Ciencias Aplicadas, realizado en la ciudad de Caracas (Venezuela), excepcionalmente durante el mes de julio de 2016. El evento cubrió un amplio espectro de trabajos de investigación y desarrollo en ingeniería y ciencias aplicadas, basados en simulac...

Este trabajo se orientó en cómo las propiedades piezoeléctricas del hueso influyen en el modelado y remodelado óseo y se explica cómo el proceso de mecanoregulación y la estimulación eléctrica contribuyeron con el crecimiento, curación y reparación del tejido óseo. En este estudio se usó el Método de Elementos de Contorno (MEC) para materiales piez...

In the present work we show the electric properties of bone and how those affect process of bone modeling, explain how the process of mechano-regulation and electric stimulation improve growing, healing and repairing of bone tissues. In this study, we employ the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for piezoelectric materials considering the bone density...

Palabras Clave: Remodelado óseo, Piezoeléctricidad, Elementos de contorno. Resumen. Este trabajo muestra el comportamiento piezoeléctrico del hueso y como las propiedades electromecánicas juegan un rol importante en el proceso de remodelado. El uso de la estimulación eléc-trica representa una alternativa terapeutica para tratar problemas óseos en l...

Usually the mechanical condition and the induced electric signal are devoted to be part of the stimuli controlling the biophysical activity associate with healing and remodelling phenomena. The tissue differentiation theory proposed by Claes and Heigele (1999) has been numerically implemented using an poroelastic boundary element framework to chara...
