This study aimed to evaluate the repellent effect of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and andiroba (Carapa guianensis) essential oils on two species of flies (Haemotobia irritans and Chrysomya megacephala). For the in vitro studies, free-living adult flies were captured and reared in the laboratory. To verify the repellency effect, an apparatus was constructed where H. irritans and C. megaceph...

Hair Paint is a modeling and animating tool for hair and furry objects. In this paper some improvements are done to Hair Paint to add some new features like adding hair gel to modify the physical behavior of hair or fur, addition of pony tails and hair growth direction to make more complex hair styles. We also implemented mechanisms that avoid the hairstyle mess up due to wind forces.

Microscopic calculations of central collisions between heavy nuclei are used to study fragment production and the creation of collective flow. It is shown that the final phase space distributions are compatible with the expectations from a thermally equilibrated source, which in addition exhibits a collective transverse expansion. However, the microscopic analyses of the transient states in the...
