The purpose of this work is to provide a biomechanical model to investigate the interplay between cellular structures and the mechanical force distribution during the elongation process of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. Epithelial morphogenesis drives the elongation process of an ovoid embryo to become a worm-shaped embryo about four times longer and three times thinner. The overall anatomy of...

In this paper, the author reports findings from research concerning the planning of learning scenarios in education. The purpose of the research is to explore the value of this scenario planning and reflection-on-action. In particular, the research objective is to explore how this innovative method can guide the adoption of ICT in education and cultivate competencies for lifelong and lifewide l...

This position paper examines a critical paradox in e-health: there is a striking gap between critical information services for health care that can be implemented today using existing in information and communication technologies and those services that are actually available. Facets of this paradox are examined in the context of Canadian analyses and policy, advanced research on health care re...

A generation method of scenarios using differential information between normal scenarios is presented. Behaviours of normal scenarios belonging to the same problem domain are quite similar. We derive the differential information between them and apply the information to generate new alternative/exceptional scenarios. Our method will be illustrated with examples. This paper describes (1) a langu...

controversy exists regarding cavity preparation for restoration of interproximal caries in posterior teeth in terms of preserving the tooth structure and suitable stress distribution. this study aimed to assess the effect of extension and type of class ii cavities and the remaining tooth structure in maxillary premolars restored with composite resin on the biomechanical properties of teeth usin...
