This paper presents the method of light propagation in human tissue. Subsurface scattering model together with photon mapping is applied to generate images. Surface and volumetric photon maps were used to fully describe the fluorescence phenomenon. The qualitative comparison between images will be presented to find the best camera angle of incidence. Moreover, multi-spectral images rendered dur...

Sleep disorders are frequent and disturbing, mostly chronic conditions. Despite the fact practice of sleep medicine is a young field. Sleep disorders were reduced to insomnia and even insomnia was not well studied until 1960ies. This article maps amazing development of sleep disorders treatment from the beginning till current date. The text covers both scientific and clinical perspectives on mo...

in this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence ofcommon fixed points for a compatible pair of self maps of gregustype in the framework of convex metric spaces have been obtained.also, established the existence of common fixed points for a pair ofcompatible mappings of type (b) and consequently for compatiblemappings of type (a). the proved results generalize and extend someof the well k...

The Perfect benchmarks are a collection of scientific and engineering application-level programs that have been widely used to compare the performance of many different computer systems. We describe our experiences porting the trfd program from this collection to the Connection Machine CM-200 and CM-5. We find that this program maps well to an SIMD architecture when the underlying structure of ...

The Genome-Linked Application for Metabolic Maps (GLAMM) is a unified web interface for visualizing metabolic networks, reconstructing metabolic networks from annotated genome data, visualizing experimental data in the context of metabolic networks and investigating the construction of novel, transgenic pathways. This simple, user-friendly interface is tightly integrated with the comparative ge...

This work-in-progress report describes the requirements for a "European Administrative Nomenclature" network. It addresses the research topic of interoperability between UN and EU reference classifications, Topic Maps, ebXML Registries and distributed databases. Governmental organisations in Europe will be supported in their administrative terminology with the help of a Seamless Core Model, Pub...

SensorMap is a portal web site for real-time real-world sensor data. SensorMap allows data owners to easily make their data available on the map. The platform also transparently provides mechanisms to archive and index data, to process queries, to aggregate and present results on a geocentric web interface based on Windows Live Local. In this position paper, we describe the architecture of Sens...

3D virtual environment provides a limited amount of information, mainly focusing on visual information. This is the main cause of users losing the sense of direction in the environment. Many researches for developing a navigation tools that address this problem have been carried out. In this study, a navigation tool is designed by applying topic map, one of the technologies for semantic web con...

With its rapid users growth, Twitter has become an essential source of information about what events are happening in the world. It is critical to have the ability to derive the topics from Twitter messages (tweets), that is, to determine and characterize the main topics of the Twitter messages (tweets). However, tweets are very short in nature and therefore the frequency of term co-occurrences...

This paper gives a short overview not only of the basic concepts of topic maps, but also of the advanced concepts. This document discusses a metadata structure, which allows making a topic map persistent within a relational database. To make integrity checks within topic maps possible, several constraint mechanisms are introduced. Additionally, for building world-wide internet directory service...
