Since McCabe's cyclometric measure, structural complexity have been playing an important role measuring the complexity of programs. Complexity metrics are used to achieve more maintainable code with the least bugs possible. C++ Standard Template Library (STL) is the most popular library based on the generic programming paradigm. This paradigm allows implementation of algorithms and containers i...

Based on STL (stereo lithography) format file and with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 programming language, a 3D printing slicing software appropriate for the surface strengthening of parts has been developed, which includes three functions: model import, data export. Through grouping triangle facets before slicing, judgment times relationship between cutting planes are reduced, efficiency is improve...

Analysis of intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has revealed characteristic dynamical features that distinguish the interictal, ictal, and postictal states and inter-state transitions. Experimental investigations into the mechanisms underlying these observations require the use of an animal model. A rat TLE model was used to test ...

Existing methods to create contour files generate a polygonal approximation of the contours instead of an exact representation. This paper presents a method to generate exact contours from Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) representations. The method preserves the accuracy of the contour files provided the primitives used to generate the CSG tree are polygonal or quadric objects. Due to the inc...

Security-typed languages (STLs) are powerful tools for provably implementing policy in applications. The programmer maps policy onto programs by annotating types with information flow labels, and the STL compiler guarantees that data always obeys its label as it flows within an application. As data flows into or out of an application, however, a runtime system is needed to mediate between the i...

This paper introduces ECM a new coordination model and one of his language binding STL STL is aimed at making par allel and distributed programs construction easier by providing a set of powerful tools that clearly describe the coordination part of an applica tion These tools embedded in an object oriented computation language enable distributed components to be dynamically recon gured STL acts...

STUDY QUESTION What are the relationships between telomere lengths in leukocytes and sperm, sperm count and parents' age at conception in a group of apparently healthy subjects of the same age? SUMMARY ANSWER Sperm telomere length (STL) is related to sperm count, it is lower in oligozoospermic than in normozoospermic men and it is directly related to parents' age at conception. WHAT IS KNOW...

While tremendous progress has been made in developing parallel algorithms, there has not been as much success in developing language support for programming these parallel algorithms. The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) provides an opportunity for extending the concept of generic programming to the parallel realm. This paper discusses the basic requirements for extending STL to provide supp...

Desktop manufacturing refers to various rapid prototyping (RP) techniques where threedimensional components are directly built, layer-by-layer, from a computer data description or computer aided design (CAD) file. Due to their ability and relative ease in transforming a conceptual design into a physical model, desktop manufacturing technologies have met escalating demand in the industry for sho...
