Groupware applications used in distributed office environments are characterized by several users accessing and manipulating a shared document pool in a collaborative context. Supporting such application with relational database persistence and object technology requires two main features: (1) a sound and generic mapping from the object-oriented application schema to the relational data model, ...

We design efficient numerical schemes for approximating the MHD equations in multidimensions. Numerical approximations must be able to deal with the complex wave structure of the MHD equations and the divergence constraint. We propose schemes based on the genuinely multidimensional (GMD) framework of [31, 32]. The schemes are formulated in terms of vertex-centered potentials. A suitable choice ...

Task 6.1 is concerned with developing new interfaces and new metaphors for more physical interaction with virtual environments, involving the entire body and its physical properties. The deliverable is divided into three parts: • “A Characterization of Input Devices used in Interactive Installations” develops a taxonomy of how input devices and space have been used in interactive installations....

AIMS To define the prevalence and clinical characteristics of glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis (LC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were measured to 130 patients with clinically stable LC. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) and fasting plasma insulin determinations were performed to patients with normal FPG. Insulin res...
