A Novel FEM-Based Numerical Solver for Interactive Catheter Simulation in Virtual Catheterization by Shun Li, Jing Qin, Jixiang Guo, Yim-Pan Chui, Pheng-Ann Heng

“…Our method is based on the principle of minimal total potential energy. We formulate the total potential energy in the vascular interventional circumstance by summing up the elastic energy deriving from the bending of the catheters or guidewires, the potential energy due to the deformation of vessel walls, and the work by the external forces. …”

Real-Time Integrated Limited-Stop and Short-Turning Bus Control with Stochastic Travel Time by Hu Zhang, Shuzhi Zhao, Yang Cao, Huasheng Liu, Shidong Liang

“…When implemented correctly, the optimal scheme indicates which stations should be skipped, where it is suitable for buses to turn back, and how long the holding time should be at turn-back stations, which in turn will minimize the total cost of a transit system. This paper formulates such an integrated strategy, presents the solution method of the formulation, and proves the validity of the real-time control method.…”
