In many FEM applications, hexahedral meshes are necessary to get the best results. However the automatic generation of an hexahedral mesh from an arbitrary 3D geometry still remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose an extension of the reliable Whisker Weaving algorithm [6]. The Whisker Weaving algorithm starts from a pre-meshed quadrilateral surface, it generates hexahedral meshes for a l...

Mapping between heterogeneous data is a central problem in many dataintensive applications. In particular, using one mapping language causes serious limitations and makes mapping management difficult. In this paper, we propose a solution that can better control the trade-off between genericity, expressiveness and efficiency of mappings. Our solution considers mappings as models and exploits spe...

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been shown to be a useful model for software development. Special care must be taken when we try to adapt AOP to strongly typed functional languages which come with features like type inference mechanism, polymorphic types, higher-order functions and type-scoped pointcuts. Specifically, it is highly desirable that weaving of aspect-oriented functional progr...

A cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the health status of children engaged in carpet weaving factories of Jaipur City. Two hundred and ninety school going boys of similar socio-economic status served as controls. A higher prevalence of signs of nutritional deficiencies was observed in carpet weaving children. Analysis of the presenting complaints and the illness suffered in the p...

A 32-month-old female 225-kg nonpregnant cross-bred Newsham sow presented a 6-week history of stereotypic behaviors when housed in a laboratory research facility. A behavioral examination over 12 daylight hours revealed 3 main stereotypic motor patterns, namely (1) oral-nasal gate manipulation defined as placement of the snout between the bars of the pen gate with repetitive, forceful up and do...
