The design and implementation of an interactive spot noise algorithm is presented. Spot noise is a technique which utilizes texture for the visualization of ow elds. Various design tradeoos are discussed that allow an optimal implementation on a range of high end graphical workstations. Two applications are given: the steering of a smog prediction simulation and browsing a very large data set r...

We deene a speciication language called`timed CRL'. This language is designed to describe communicating processes employing data and time. Timed CRL is the successor of CRL 17]. It diiers in two main aspects. It is possible to make explicit reference to time using a newàt' operator; p,t is the process p where the rst action must take place at time t. Furthermore, a distinction has been made bet...

The good parallel computing properties of sparse-grid solution techniques are investigated. For this, an existing sequential CFD code for a standard 3D problem from computational aerodynamics is restructured into a parallel application. The restructuring is organized according to a master/slave protocol. The coordinator modules developed thereby are implemented in the coordination language MANI...

The purpose of this study was to assess the self-determination of Spanish high school students with Intellectual Disability and other Special Educational Needs (SEN). A total of 371 students between 11 and 17 years of age participated in the study. Of these, 46.4% (n=171) presented SEN, specifically learning disabilities (n=97; 26.2%), borderline and intellectual disability with higher IQ score...
