Acknowledgements The work presented in this booklet is the culmination of a two-year team effort in 1985-87. A group of independent practitioners and academicians, working in close cooperation with the staff of the Missouri Division of Aging*, has devoted their time and expertise in the preparation of this booklet. The efforts of the following people are greatly appreciated. It is hoped this pu...

Topology optimization of a continuum with bimodulus material under multiple load cases (MLC) is investigated by using material replacement method. Using traditional methods to solve such a problem will encounter two difficulties for the sake of the stress-dependent behavior of bimodulus material. One is the nonlinear behavior of bimodulus material. The other is the definition of local material ...

These notes extensively use material from course notes of Lars Arge, David Mount, COMP 2805/3803 Notes of myself and Michiel Smid [10], CLRS book [3], Knuth’s Art of Computer Programming [8], Kleinberg and Tardos Algorithms book [7], Ullman et al’s book on Algorithms for Massive Data Sets [13]. They are updated occasionally. I have used part of this material for graduate course COMP 5703 on Alg...

Selectively retrieving a subset of previously studied material can cause forgetting of the unpracticed material. Such retrieval-induced forgetting is attributed to an inhibitory mechanism recruited to resolve interference among competing items. According to the inhibition-deficit hypothesis, older people experience a specific decline in inhibitory function and thus should show reduced retrieval...

We present a Galilean invariant, momentum conserving first order Brownian dynamics scheme for coarse-grained simulations of highly frictional soft matter systems. Friction forces are taken to be with respect to moving background material. The motion of the background material is described by locally averaged velocities in the neighborhood of the dissolved coarse coordinates. The velocity variab...

In this paper, we present an interactive method for physics-based simulation and rendering of deformable bodies exhibiting heterogeneous material properties. To fully exploit the capabilities of consumer class computer systems, a CPU simulation engine is run in parallel with a GPU render engine. On the simulation side, we have developed a numerical multigrid solver for the governing equations o...

Biosludge is a by-product of secondary wastewater treatment processes. Due to its high contents of organic carbon and plant nutrients, this bioresource can be practically reused as raw feedstock for making organic fertilizers and building materials. The objective of this paper was to provide a preliminary analysis of biosludge utilization in Taiwan, including food processing sludge, wine brewer...

Based on the material available in both the scientific literature and on the web, the present paper provides an updated pharmacological, chemical, toxicological and behavioural overview of Bromo-Dragonfly (1-(8-bromobenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']difuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane; 'B-fly'). B-Fly is a powerful, long lasting, LSD-like, hallucinogenic drug, which has been associated with a number of acute intoxic...
