This paper presents an algorithm to compute the minimal tessellation of 1-irregular elements such as cuboids, rectangular prisms and pyramids. The minimal tessellation is the one that contains the minimum number of terminal elements. Terminal elements are the elements that compose the nal mesh. The complete mesh fulllls the Delaunay condition and is adequate for the control volume discretizatio...

Active Fiber Composites (AFC) manufactured at EMPA with commercially available piezoelectric ceramic fibers have been investigated for their potential use as Acoustic Emission (AE) sensors. AFC elements have been evaluated with methods derived from AE sensor characterization as well as additional measurements. Some commercial AE sensor types have been evaluated with the same methods for compari...

The paper addresses aggregation issues for composite (modular) solutions. A systemic view point is suggested for various aggregation problems. Several solution structures are considered: sets, set morphologies, trees, etc. Mainly, the aggregation approach is targeted to set morphologies. The aggre-gation problems are based on basic structures as substructure, superstructure, median/consensus, a...

The transcription start site and DNA sequence elements required for the induction of Pax3 expression in differentiating P19 embryonal carcinoma cells have been localized. These elements consist of a promoter and additional elements located within 1.6 kbp 5' to the transcription start site. Sequence elements within this 1.6 kbp region are also sufficient to mediate the induction and dorsal restr...

The cover image is based on the Research Article A strategy to prevent a temperature-induced MRI artifact in warm liquid phantoms due convection currents by Ryan T. Oglesby, Wilfred W. Lam, and Greg J. Stanisz., https://doi.org/10.1002/nbm.4494.

to enhance the certainty of the grade block model, it is necessary to increase the number of exploratory drillholes and collect more data from the deposit. the inputs of the process of locating these additional drillholes include the variogram model parameters, locations of the samples taken from the initial drillholes, and the geological block model. the uncertainties of these inputs will lead...
