Preface SPECIAL ISSUE ON BRAIN NEURO-MECHANICS
In July 2010, the Centre for Mathematical Medicine organized the first interdisciplinary workshop on Brain Neuro-Mechanics, under the patronage of the Fields Institute. The focus of the workshop was on recent discoveries in fundamental brain science that could play an important role in improved medical diagnoses, treatment strategies and clinical protocols. The workshop brought together experts...
متن کاملProbabilistic design: The future of rock engineering
A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

متن کاملSpecial issue on “Qualitative Spatial Reasoning” Preface
In contemporary parlance, qualitative reasoning can be regarded as reasoning about physical systems by exploring their structural properties. Qualitative spatial reasoning, in particular, aims to express non– numerical relationships among spatial objects based on relations such as “in contact with” and “part of”. Its roots include the region-based theories of space of de Laguna [1] and Whitehea...
متن کاملPreface: Introduction to Special Issue
Demands for flexibility, greater variety of products, and advanced production processes complicate the logistics and planning of manufacturing systems; this also increases the number of alternatives that should be formalized in a model. The evaluation of all the possible alternatives of the planning problem is often considered an NP-hard combinatorial problem. Practical problems often contain n...
