We propose an algorithm that creates optimized cut-out sheets for paper models from textured polygon meshes. Crafting time and usage of paper and glue are reduced by first computing an initial folding tree to unfold the mesh into a plane. Overlaps in the plane are then eliminated by adding new cuts. Finally, glue tabs are generated along all cuts before fitting all unfolded parts onto paper she...

In mobile computing and other contexts, latency is a more critical resource than bandwidth. Interactive performance relies on low latency response to the user. The question of how much performance is necessary (and when) is still open. These sources of latency manifest themselves in different ways and with differing severities. When designing systems for a Web 2.0 framework, it is important to ...

April 2006 | Volume 4 | Issue 4 | e97 The proportion of leading women in science is so small that it can be diffi cult to know who they are. To increase the visibility of European women from post-docs to senior group leaders, a Database of Expert Women in the Molecular Life Sciences (http:⁄⁄www.elso-cdc. org) has been created by the European Life Sciences Organization (ELSO). The database is un...

Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large-vessel vasculitis characterized by granulomatous T cell- and macrophage infiltration. Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) present in GCA-affected vessels where it may be involved skewing of tissue destructive macrophages (1). Furthermore, recent phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated that GM-CSF receptor blockade was superior ...

This article is the third in a series of review articles discussing the applications of color science to the clinical practice of dentistry. This installment discusses contemporary techniques for shade selection of teeth, as well as, challenges to successful clinical matching of the tooth shade to dental restorative materials. match. This article will discuss the visual and automatic device tec...

To prospectively study the kinetics of immune responses after immunization with BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and their association epidemiological parameters breakthrough infection (BI), we measured total (TAbs-WT) neutralizing antibodies against wild-type (NAbs-WT) Omicron (NAbs-O) SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in healthcare workers (HCWs) second (4 8 months) third dose (1 months). Vaccinated HC...
