Absent In Three Parts

A treatise of midwifry, in three parts.

Fluctuating Distance Fields, Parts, Three-Partite Skeletons

Shapes are continuous objects, even when they are drawn on digital media or composed using finite number of elements. As such, they defy analytic approach; explicitization of their parts, hierarchies, skeletons, or even centroids is ill-posed. I describe a novel approach to perceptually organize shapes and explicate their features without being negligent of their continuous nature. The basic co...

Rapid Prototyping of Solid Three-Dimensional Parts

Several new technologies collectively referred to as solid freeform fabrication have been developed in the last decade for use in the rapid prototyping of solid three dimensional parts. These include stereolithography, photosolidi cation, solid ground curing, 3D printing, fused deposition modeling, ballistic particle manufacturing, selective laser sintering, laminated object manufacturing, and ...

Trend analysis in L-fuzzy contexts with absent values

Sometimes we have to work with  $L$-fuzzy context sequences where one or more values are missing. These sequences can represent, among other things, the evolution in time of an $L$-fuzzy context. The studies of tendencies that we have done so far used tools that are not valid when the $L$-fuzzy context has unknown values. In this work we address such situations and we propose new methods to tac...

Assembly of BioBrick standard biological parts using three antibiotic assembly.

An underlying goal of synthetic biology is to make the process of engineering biological systems easier and more reliable. In support of this goal, we developed BioBrick assembly standard 10 to enable the construction of systems from standardized genetic parts. The BioBrick standard underpins the distributed efforts by the synthetic biology research community to develop a collection of more tha...
