Family practice a tough sell

Solar system exploration. Technology is essential, but it's a tough sell.

ogy is no match for Mercury’s broiling temperatures or Jupiter’s deadly magnetic field. But planetary scientists face the daunting prospect of planning 21st century explorations of more hostile regions of the solar system for longer periods with technology largely unchanged since the 1970s heyday of Voyager and Viking. When it comes to speed, power, and communications systems, says NASA space s...

General practice to family practice: a necessary change.

much needed curricular and infrastructural changes in our medical education system. He states that the overall objective of MBBS is to produce a general type physician. We, however, opine that this notion merits reconsideration. It is time to challenge the traditional concept of health care delivery based on general physicians without postgraduate training. The poor community orientation and ne...

MeshVoro: A three-dimensional Voronoi mesh building tool for the TOUGH family of codes

Few tools exist for creating and visualizing complex three-dimensional simulation meshes, and these have limitations that restrict their application to particular geometries and circumstances. Mesh generation needs to trend toward ever more general applications. To that end, we have developed MeshVoro, a tool that is based on the Voro++ (Rycroft 2009) library and is capable of generating comple...
