This paper presents a general 8th-order PDE method to generate Bézier surfaces from the boundary with position and tangent vector information. We extend the work on generating biharmonic Bézier surfaces by Monterde to generating Bézier surfaces based on a general 4th-order PDE. And further the results are extended to generate tetraharmonic Bézier surfaces by a general 8th-order PDE. The solutio...

The eighth annual Bio-Ontologies meeting was held on 24th June at ISMB 2005 in Detroit. Its principle aim over the years has been to build a community forum that brings together biologists and computer scientists to discuss the development and use of ontologies within the domain of biology. During this time, it has aimed to stimulate discussion about the role of Ontologies and their associated ...

Though the introduction of insulin in 1922 immediately transformed the management of diabetes, allowing diabetics to survive with their disease, the microvascular complications of the disease became increasingly evident with time. Thus insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes is the fifth major cause of renal failure, the major cause of blindness, and coronary heart disease is a major cause of deat...

The 4th Computers and Games conference was held in Ramat-Gan, Israel on July 5 to 7, 2004. After two conferences in Japan and one in Canada, it was the first time that Israel hosts this major event which was organised by the ICGA and the Institute for Knowledge and Agent Technology (IKAT). The conference was organised in conjunction with two other events: the 12th World Computer Chess Champions...
