Power to the PAPR: Reverse Engineering in the Pandemic

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was first identified in December 2019, tipped the first domino in the global scramble to secure healthcare equipment and prevent casualties. A few months later, effects of the pandemic had cascaded: outbreaks in Italy, Latin America, and the United States buckled down and spread outwards, and by April 2020, the entire world had visibly changed. The virus had spiraled out of control, and hospitals all around the world were running out of time—and equipment.

Going with the Flow: 
Directional Variability

You know what they say—at some point, you gotta just go with the flow. That applies to analyses, too. With directional variability, we can see how analysis values change along a specified direction. Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to explore directional variability in porosity/inclusion, foam/powder, and gray value analyses!
