The utilization of computer-aided technologies in tissue engineering has evolved in the development of a new field of computer-aided tissue engineering (CATE). This article reviews recent development and application of enabling computer technology, imaging technology, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD and CAM), and rapid prototyping (RP) technology in tissue engineerin...

In this paper, the experiences of incorporating parametric modeling methodologies in a computer aided design course are introduced. This course aims at sophomore and junior mechanical engineering students. Students are expected to understand the fundamentals of solid modeling, incorporate design intents in modeling processes effectively, and master basic skills of using commercial software for ...

Computer-Aided Design and Applications is an international journal on the applications of CAD CAM. It publishes papers in general domain plus emerging fields like bio-CAD, nano-CAD, soft-CAD, garment-CAD, PLM, PDM, data mining, internet, education, genetic algorithms engines. The aimed at all developers users technology to ptovide solutions for various stages design manufacturing. about technol...

Input modeling that involves tting standard univari-ate parametric probability distributions is typically performed using an input modeling package. These packages typically t several distributions to a data set, then determine the distribution with the best t by comparing goodness-of-t statistics. But what if an appropriate input model is not included in one of these packages? The modeler must...

Since language is the most distinctive aspect of our species, the origin and evolution of language has intrigued the human mind since ancient times. Earlier speculations on these questions were seldom fruitful because there was virtually no empirical foundation to build upon. It is well known that the linguistic societies in Paris and London banned such discussions in the 19 century. By the mid...

“Modeling” in the context of computer security has the same comotation as in the fields of science and engineering, that of an abstraction used for the consideration of a problem of interest. One recent criticism of the Bell-La Padnla model confused this notion of “modeling” with a foundational notion of “model” or “interpretation” and, in addhion, included intrinsic errors of reasoning.

This master thesis focuses on the study of the state of the art on crack and fracture modeling. This process is one of the aging phenomena with an important amount of work done, due to its complexity and its extended application area. The variety of parameters and the complex simulation (usually implying collision detection, deformations, breakage, etc), make difficult to think on a generic sol...
