This paper presents the architecture of an open-source framework, created for the development of browserbased applications that use Ogre3D as rendering engine. Currently, many games and 3D interactive applications have been distributed on the Internet to run via a browser through plugins like Unity Web Player. This work allows Ogre3D-based applications to run in the browser without requiring th...

XML data warehouses form an interesting basis for decision-support applications that exploit complex data. However, native-XML database management systems (DBMSs) currently bear limited performances and it is necessary to research for ways to optimize them. In this paper, we propose a new join index that is specifically adapted to the multidimensional architecture of XML warehouses. It eliminat...

this article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. this dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. it also suggests...

Learning from the sustainability of traditional architecture, as a solution to current ecological crisis, seems more challenging in societies where cultural imposition has occurred. In Burkina Faso, vernacular architecture experienced process transformation, still course, relying heavily on foreign resources and losing its adaptation environmental conditions. As other contexts, dynamics transfo...

Evolutionary processes such as migration, genetic drift, and natural selection are thought to play a prominent role in species invasions into novel environments. However, few empirical studies have explored the mechanistic basis of invasion in an evolutionary framework. One promising tool for inferring evolutionarily important changes in introduced populations is the genetic variance-covariance...

Biomimetic scaffolds that replicate the native architecture and mechanical properties of target tissues have been recently shown to be a very promising strategy to guide cellular growth and facilitate tissue regeneration. In this study, porous, soft, and elastic crosslinked urethane-doped polyester (CUPE) tissue engineered nerve guides were fabricated with multiple longitudinally oriented chann...

The paper addresses the problem of integrating data based on a XML-like semistructured model with a data grid architecture based on an object-oriented model. This work is continuation of the previous works on object-to-relational wrappers and covers a generic integration procedure for utilizing a native Lore query mechanism for retrieving data from XML data sources. A corresponding wrapper is f...
