The analysis of the three-dimensional arrangement of cells and tissues is fundamental for the understanding of their individual contribution to the whole organism. High-resolution microscopy outputs seriated two-dimensional images in which, due to the experimental limitations in the labeling, the objects of interest are hardly segmentable by automated means. On the other hand, the outcome of ma...

Emergency evacuation from new, higher than normal, aircraft is believed to be affected by a new variable: passenger’s hesitation at the exit door. This paper discusses how a previous simulation studying this effect was replicated in Cell-DEVS using the CD++ toolkit and how the results were visualized using the Blender Python interface. We will show how one can relatively easily apply advanced v...

Why outsource and what makes it work? Alternative arrangements for work in the health sector Suzanne Young Deakin University This paper addresses the question: In the health sector why have managers outsourced some functions in preference to others? The research specifi cally uncovers a reason for outsourcing which has not been highlighted in the literature; that being a desire to improve depar...

This paper examines the usability of Blender and 3D Studio Max for a first-time user. Blender and 3D Studio Max are 3-dimensional (3-D) object modeling programs that are frequently used for modeling game objects. Both tools provide a graphical interface for model creation. Most game developers prefer a visual approach to design, because building graphics using a programming language and a graph...

A diffeomorphism f has a C-robust homoclinic tangency if there is a C-neighbourhood U of f such that every diffeomorphism in g ∈ U has a hyperbolic set Λg, depending continuously on g, such that the stable and unstable manifolds of Λg have some non-transverse intersection. For every manifold of dimension greater than or equal to three, we exhibit a local mechanism (blender-horseshoes) generatin...

The process and energy intensifications for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate (GC) from dimethyl (DMC) using an eggshell-derived CaO heterogeneous catalyst were investigated. transesterification reaction between DMC was typically limited by mass transfer because immiscible nature reactants. By varying stirring speed, it observed that limitation could be neglected at 800 rpm. presence solid ma...
