Firstly, decomposition of multifunctional embedded systems into subsystems implies a long list of relevant criteria to be taken into consideration. Secondly, reuse of such subsystems is already done in practice but is often just performed for code or lacks a systematic approach. In this paper, we describe a method for defining and outlining subsystems from the overall system requirements and sp...

This study examines the extent to which the major dimensions of the cranial base (maximum length, maximum breadth, and flexion) interact with brain volume to influence major proportions of the neurocranium and face. A model is presented for developmental interactions that occur during ontogeny between the brain and the cranial base and neurocranium, and between the neurobasicranial complex (NBC...
