We propose a layout algorithm for micro/macro graphs, i.e. relational structures with two levels of detail. While the micro-level graph is given, the macro-level graph is induced by a given partition of the micro-level vertices. A typical example is a social network of employees organized into different departments. We do not impose restrictions on the macro-level layout other than sufficient t...

relatively unchanged over the last 10 years. Exophytic lesions are typically shaven, while deeper processes are sampled with a punch biopsy. However, we have found that these two techniques are often impractical and cumbersome in their application to some cutaneous morphologies.We introduce a technique which employs a punch biopsy-pen to perform a shave or “scoop” excision. This method is ideal...

In this study, we quantify the severity of drug-induced dyskinesias in the arms of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using digitised spiral-drawing tasks. Two spiral drawings, namely a circular and a square spiral, are designed to, respectively, represent the continuous and discrete arm motions, and the size of the spiral is decided so that both the distal and proximal arm joints are involved. ...

In the current work, cup drawing experiments with laser assistance are presented where only selected areas of the work piece have been heated up. Since the strongest deformations occur at the outer circumference of the blank, only that area has been heated up by a defocused laser beam. Selective laser heating of the work pieces was performed by diode as well as Nd:YAG laser radiation. The formi...

Springback is defined as undesirable shape change that occurs after forming process upon unloading due to the occurrence of elastic recovery part. Aluminum alloy with high content magnesium such A6061 preferred for formability limit be used in automotive industry. However, generally springback turns out a drawback. Many researchers have examined by considering parameters bent angle, die shoulde...
