Researchers in bioelectromagnetics often require realistic tissue, cellular and sub-cellular geometry models for their simulations. However, biological shapes are often extremely irregular, while conventional geometrical modeling tools on the market cannot meet the demand for fast and efficient construction of irregular geometries. We have designed a free, user-friendly tool in MATLAB that comb...

Abstract Manufacturing techniques that can produce surfaces with a defined microstructure are in the focus of current research efforts. The ability to manufacture such gives rise need for numerical models predict wetting properties given and help optimize these respect certain properties. present phase field (PF) model is linked molecular dynamics (MD) simulations by usage MD based perturbed Le...

The work presented in this paper is intended as an introduction to a study being carried out at the University of Bristol in conjunction with the SEAS DTC and forms the basis for a PhD in aerospace engineering. The focus of the research is the design of control systems for small unmanned rotary wing vehicles which receive feedback signals from visual sensory devices to augment controllability. ...

Australian Bureau of Statistics This paper represents work in progress and does not necessarily reflect the final approach which the ABS will adopt. Executive Summary This paper reports work in progress on a project called Quality Measures for Systems of Economic Accounts (QMSEA). The distinctive features of QMSEA are that it-Is designed to review whether present and future systems of economic ...

ERS-1/2 wind scatterometers (WSC) data sets may contain cells in which two, instead of three, measurements are available. These data sets are called incomplete. Operational inversion procedures discard such data sets and therefore no wind field is estimated. This is very limiting in semi-closed seas such as the Mediterranean Sea. In this paper we propose a new inversion procedure capable to ret...

Historically, spices have shaped many events throughout the world. Many voyagers, including the legendary Christopher Columbus, explored the seas in search of treasured spices. These valued commodities contribute not only flavors but also serve as colorants and preservatives in a wide variety of cultures. Today, spices are increasingly revered not only for their culinary properties but also for...

Methods Study design: retrospective controlled study. Population: Exercise Group (EG): 28 consecutive scoliosis patients (26 females), age 13±2, TRACE 4.5, Cobb angle 18±3°, ATR 7±3°, Risset 0-3. SpineCor Group (SG): 41 patients (33 females), age 13±1, TRACE score 6, Cobb angle 24±5°; ATR 8±3°, Risser 0-3. EG patients performed specific exercises twice per week according to the SEAS protocol. S...

The opening century of the four hundred years of Atlantic history explored in this volume can be understood historically only in terms of the cards that the entrants into it brought to the table. The hands they held were similar—in fact global—in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The historical dynamics that motivated and enabled the players in all three regions revolved around very longterm st...

Adhesive restorations are based on the use of materials, which have the capacity to bond tooth effectively. This is possible due to a polymerizing hybrid layer interface created by the use of the Etch&Rinse (ERAs) and self-etching adhesives (SEAs). Bonding using ERAs include the acid-etching removal of the mineral phase from the substrates of enamel and dentine. A hybrid layer results by fillin...
