Definitions

noun A solid with fourteen faces formed by cutting off the corners of a cube parallel to the coaxial octahedron far enough to leave the original faces squares, while adding eight triangular faces at the truncations.

noun geometry A polyhedron made up of 8 triangular and 6 square faces; it has twelve identical vertices.

• Through engineered architecture, it is Human Vertebral Bioreactor possible to increase the overall Trabecular Bone Culturing strength of the construct with a minimal μCT Assembly increase in the stiffness as seen in the rhombitruncated cuboctahedron. μComputed Scaffold • Using a combinatory approach to Tomography Generation scaffold design can result in optimized structural properties while maintaining physiologically important parameters.
