This paper describes a method for controlling the multi-phase smoke animation that uses Lagrangian particles. Previous methods need several density fields to simulate different types of smoke. We use a single field, which is more like a natural phenomenon to obtain the interactive motions of fluid. Also, whereas existing methods which apply control forces to cells only, we define particle force...

Background Mechanical foot pain is a syndrome in which local pain is associated with musculoskeletal tissues, occurring as a result of mechanical stress. Recent research has indicated that bone marrow lesions (BML) in the knee are associated with mechanical knee pain and increased forces, and that changing the forces within the knee can alter the pattern of BML. As foot orthoses are thought to ...

In this paper a self-adjusting control strategy for two motion servoed robots handling a exible object is presented. The control strategy consists of a feed-forward and feedback level. The feedforward level contains motion coordination , force distribution of external forces, creation of internal forces, and an additional loop adding the elastic displacements due to the applied forces to the pl...

A new and general approach is proposed to analyze the dynamics of a colloidal particle interacting with a nearby wall. This analysis can be used to determine the acting forces even when the system is non-stationary. As an illustration, we use total internal reflection microscopy to investigate the forces acting on a polystyrene sulfate latex particle as it is receding from a charged glass surface.

2D Image segmentation has been a main issue in image analysis since the very early years. Traditional literature usually classifies segmentation approaches as area-based or contourbased. In the second class, among dozens of different approaches, Active Contours have recently gained more and more interest. Active contours (also known as deformable models) are open or closed curves that can accur...

The theory of elasticity is used to predict the response of a material body subject to applied forces. In the linear theory, where the displacement is small, the stress tensor which measures the internal forces is the variable of primal importance. However the symmetry of the stress tensor which expresses the conservation of angular momentum had been a challenge for finite element computations....

We observe counterintuitive spin segregation in an inhomogeneous sample of ultracold, noncondensed rubidium atoms in a magnetic trap. We use spatially selective microwave spectroscopy to verify a model that accounts for the differential forces on two internal spin states. In any simple understanding of the cloud dynamics, the forces are far too small to account for the dramatic transient spin p...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To compare the maximum voluntary bite force generated at different periods during mandibular fracture healing using miniplates and microplates as means of rigid internal fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Maximum voluntary bite force was recorded in healthy young individuals of different age group from either gender. Patients suffering from symphyseal and parasymphyseal and b...
