Sensorimotor control is thought to rely on predictive internal models in order to cope efficiently with uncertain environments. Recently, it has been shown that humans not only learn different internal models for different tasks, but that they also extract common structure between tasks. This raises the question of how the motor system selects between different structures or models, when each m...

Many forms of knee arthroplasty have been described but all are based on one of two principles. The first requires the interposition of material between the bony surfaces after removal of synovial membrane and articular cartilage ; in the second the knee joint is resected and replaced by a metal hinge (Walldius 1957, Shiers 1960). Material interposed between the bony surfaces has included chrom...

Programming models bridge the gap between the underlying hardware architecture and the supporting layers of software available to applications. Specifically, a programming model is an abstraction of the underlying computer system that allows for the expression of both algorithms and data structures and exists independently of the choice of both the programming language and the supporting APIs. ...

Model-Driven Engineering paradigm is being used by the research community in the last years, obtaining suitable results. However, there are few practical experiences in the enterprise field. This paper presents the use of this paradigm in an aeronautical PLM project named CALIPSOneo currently under development in Airbus. In this context, NDT methodology was adapted as methodology in order to be...

Our principal object is to present this case from the radiological aspect because of the progressive retrogression and total disappearance of the organic articular lesions. This observation we believe to be unique. We have not come across any mention of the return to normal of the radiological features, either alone or concomitantly with the clinical cure of arthritis. We know that pathological...

This paper examines multimedia from a perspective of both data modeling and application development. It outlines a layered paradigm aa a preferred approach to modeling, proposes a neu, Layered Multimedia Data Model (LMDM), and then demonstrates how the LMDM can be used together with a database of MM data to describe and support a large number of present and future multimedia applications. In ad...
