... or screw loosening. There have been no studies that have addressed the multiobjective design optimization of the pedicle screws. The multiobjective optimization methodology was applied and it consisted of finite element method, Taguchi method, artificial neural networks, and genetic algorithms. Three...

... aimed at pointing out the major parameters influencing this secretion. The computational results treated with the Taguchi method clearly demonstrated that geometrical parameters (fiber length and islet density) should be precisely optimized for an enhanced insulin response. This requires the collection...
