Three Dimensional Printing Technology Used to Create a High-Fidelity Ureteroscopy Simulator: Development and Validity Assessment (Rein-3D-Print-UroCCR-39).

Objective: To create and assess the validity of a high-fidelity, three dimensional (3D) printed, flexible ureteroscopy simulator resulting from a real case.

Methods: A patient's CT scan was segmented to obtain a 3D model in .stl format, including the urinary bladder, ureter and renal cavities.

Nonlinear dynamical modeling of adsorption and desorption processes with power-law kinetics: Application to CO_{2} capture.

Modeling of random sequential adsorption (RSA) process is studied in this paper as this kind of process is close to the surface adsorption phenomenon that is, for instance, exploited in gas sensors or for liquid or gas purification. Analysis and simulation of the RSA process is first performed to highlight a power-law kinetic behavior. Such behaviors are often modeled in the literature with fractional models.

Beyond the particular case of circuits with geometrically distributed components for approximation of fractional order models: Application to a new class of model for power law type long memory behaviour modelling.

In the literature, fractional models are commonly approximated by transfer functions with a geometric distribution of poles and zeros, or equivalently, using electrical Foster or Cauer type networks with components whose values also meet geometric distributions. This paper first shows that this geometric distribution is only a particular distribution case and that many other distributions (an infinity) are in fact possible. From the networks obtained, a class of partial differential equations (heat equation with a spatially variable coefficient) is then deduced.
