In this paper we present our 3D simulation environment of the breast. The tool is based on Virtual Reality methods and can simulate in real time the dynamics and the deformations of a breast in 3D. Our breast models are defined using patient specific data reproducing the 3D geometry of the patient’s breast surface and approximating the physical properties of the internal breast tissue layers. 3...

Fine-grained elasticity control of cloud services has to deal with multiple elasticity perspectives (quality, cost, and resources). We propose a cloud services elasticity control mechanism that considers the service structure for controlling the cloud service elasticity at multiple levels, by firstly defining an abstract composition model for cloud services and enabling multi-level elasticity c...

A second-order accurate kernel-free boundary integral method is presented for Stokes and Navier value problems on three-dimensional irregular domains. It solves equations in the framework of equations, whose corresponding discrete forms are well-conditioned solved by GMRES method. notable feature this approach that or volume integrals encountered BIEs indirectly evaluated a Cartesian grid-based...

one of the main principles of resistance economy, is to support domestic production and limiting imports, especially in sectors where there is the possibility of import-substituting production .this requires adjustment of exact trade policies,and to achieve this, identifying the structure of imports demand function and also price and income elasticity of import demand is necessary.this necessit...

Deployable Structures In article number 2101144, Martin Bechthold, Katia Bertoldi, and co-workers present a system of curved beams that leverage material elasticity out-of-plane buckling to deploy from flat diverse 3D configurations with simple rotational input. The platform provides opportunities for the generation functional, deployable systems (such as this variable lamp shade) are low weigh...

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-based dermal formulations have rapidly gained a large consensus in aesthetic medicine and dermatology. HA, highly expressed in the Extracellular Matrix (ECM), acts as an activator of biological cascades, stimulating cell migration and proliferation, and operating as a regulator of the skin immune surveillance, through specific interactions with its receptors. HA may be used...
