We propose the icon-based animation of the software requirement specifications by using the object and dynamic models of the OMT methodology. In order to produce the icon-based animation, we use “graphical classes” and “icon transformations.” In general, the graphical classes are defined for each class of the object diagram. The icon transformations which show the activities of the application ...

Many UK museums are developing their expertise in the creation of 3D models of objects in their collection. To-date, these authentic, high-quality models have not been made available to the digital creative industries, who instead have relied on manually created models that cannot be relied on to be accurate. This paper introduces ICON, a cross-sector collaborative R&D project that is developin...

Introduction The outcome of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has improved over the last decades. However, the disease course is still not easy to predict, especially based on traditional clinical factors. In the German prospective controlled observational multicentre study ICON-JIA (Inception Cohort Of Newly-diagnosed patients with JIA) patients with diagnosis of JIA <12 months...

1. Introduction The Icon programming language [1] contains a number of features that are unusual and that are not found in most other programming languages. As a result, Icon encourages programming techniques that are distinctly different from those that are possible in more conventional programming languages. Not all of these techniques are obvious. Indeed, experience with other programming la...

Electron tomography (ET) is an important method for studying three-dimensional cell ultrastructure. Combining with a subvolume averaging approach, ET provides new possibilities for investigating in situ macromolecular complexes in sub-nanometer resolution. Because of the limited sampling angles, ET reconstruction usually suffers from the ‘missing wedge’ problem. With a validation procedure, Ite...

The aim of this study was to compare standard plaster models with their digital counterparts for the applicability of the Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need (ICON). Generated study models of 30 randomly selected patients: 30 pre- (T(0)) and 30 post- (T(1)) treatment. Two examiners, calibrated in the ICON, scored the digital and plaster models. The overall ICON scores were evaluated for reli...
