Estimating Pre-term Birth Using a Hybrid Pattern Classification System
In this work, pre-term birth (PTB) was estimated with an accuracy as high as that of the invasive and expensive fibronectin test, yet produced these results only using data acquired before week 23 of gestation...

Micromechanical Modeling of Effective Electro-Thermo-Elastic Properties of two-Phase Piezoelectric Composites
A periodic microstructural model is developed to estimate the coupled electro-thermo-elastic response of piezoelectric composites. The model includes vital microstructural parameters, such as the constituent p...
