Damn the torpedoes--full speed ahead!

7th Waedenswil Day of Chemistry Personalized Medicine: Full Speed Ahead!

The aim of Personalized Medicine in disease treatment and prevention is to take account of the individual variability in genes, environment and lifestyle for each person. This approach is applied to certain tumours but is still not common for most diseases. On June 18, 2015 the TEDD network (Tissue Engineering for Drug Development and Substance Testing) invited a total of 130 academic and indus...

Full Stream Ahead

Data Stream Management I’ll begin by thanking Frank Olken and Le Gruenwald, as well as Oliver Spatscheck of IC’s editorial board, for their efforts in selecting the articles for this issue. I’ve read a draft of their introduction, which gives a clear and concise tutorial on what data stream management means and what issues surrounding it must be addressed. I recommend that readers unfamiliar wi...

look-ahead nurbs-ph interpolators for high speed cnc milling

various methods for parametric interpolation of nurbs curves have been proposed in the past. however, the errors caused by the approximate nature of the nurbs interpolator were rarely taken into account. this paper proposes an integrated look-ahead algorithm for parametric interpolation along nurbs curves. the algorithm interpolates the sharp corners on the curve with the pythagorean-hodograph ...

Crew Rostering for the High Speed Train

At the time of writing we entered the final stage of implementing the crew rostering system Harmony CDR to facilitate the planning of catering crews on board of the Thalys, the High Speed Train connecting Paris, Cologne, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Geneva. Harmony CDR optimally supports the creation of crew rosters in two ways. Firstly, Harmony CDR contains a powerful algorithm to automatically ge...
