Computer Managed Instruction(CMI) is a Computer Software whose primary purpose is teaching or self learning.This paper was motivated by the fact that Imo State University is under pressure to deliver an efficient and effective teaching process but constraints on staffing with increasing number of students have brought about unfavourable situations in most departments such that problem solving l...

The real-time requirement means that the simulation should be able to follow the actions of the user that may be moving in the virtual environment. The computer system should also store in its memory a three-dimensional (3D) model of the virtual environment. In that case a real-time virtual reality system will update the 3D graphic visualization as the user moves, so that up-to-date visualizati...

Numerical relativists rarely talk about computer algebra (CA) in public, and outsiders to the field even might get the impression that CA and numerical relativity (NR) indeed represent two antipodal uses of computers to study relativity theory. Quite the opposite is true. In this article we will try to outline some of the possible applications of computer algebra for NR, and very briefly presen...

This paper gives a short overview of TRIZ, Function Modeling, Computer Aided Invention (CAI) software and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. It explains the link that is missing between CAI and CAD software. A summary of the research in this field is given. Furthermore, a proposal for the integration of CAI and CAD software is given along with the description of a SolidWorks add-in prototype...

O ne meaning of topology is configuration— the “relative arrangement of parts or elements” or “something (as a figure, contour, pattern, or apparatus) that results from a particular arrangement of parts or components” (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/ dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=configuration). As applied to computer storage systems, a topology incorporates specific storage protocols, transport me...

PURPOSE To propose a method of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning that generates achievable dose-volume histogram (DVH) objectives using a database containing geometric and dosimetric information of previous patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS The overlap volume histogram (OVH) is used to compare the spatial relationships between the organs at risk and targets of a new patient with ...

We present an intuitive technical framework for making Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) adaptable and more suitable for rapid application development. The framework is a client-server-based architecture that uses an approach similar to “message passing”, a technique widely used in computer science. We define a “translation object”, a structure holding all necessary data, that is passed to se...
