In order to improve the wave energy capture rate of the buoy of a wave energy generation device, this paper proposes a multi-degree of freedom method to optimize the shape of the buoy with maximum wave energy capture.Firstly, a multi-degree of freedom wave energy converter was designed, and the buoy shape was defined using a B-spline curve to gener
Feeding gastrostomy is used worldwide for adults and children with feeding impairment to obtain long-term enteral nutrition.Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion is considered the gold standard, but after the first months requires gastrostomy tube replacement with a Computer low-profile button.The replacement is known as an easy procedure,
