Introduction: High-fidelity simulation is not only about very expensive and sophisticated patient simulators, as the environment is also a very important factor (1). Most simulation centres have derived solutions to bridge ...

Fun in computer games depends on many factors. While some factors like uniqueness and humor can only be measured by human subjects, in a strategical game, the rule system is an important and measurable factor. Classics ...

Context. Young, massive stars have been found in the distant Galactic halo. Dynamical ejection from the Galactic disc has been suggested as the origin of these "run-away stars". The so-called hyper-velocity stars have been ...

Mechanosensitivity in living biological tissue is a study area of increasing importance, but investigative tools are often inadequate. We have developed a noncontact nanoscale method to apply quantified positive and negative ...

Healthcare professionals frequently evaluate spinal posture on visual assessment during the clinical examination. While this visual assessment of the spine has been shown to be unreliable, the use of a plumbline as to aid ...

The small sizes of the MEMS or NEMS electromechanical resonators and their single wafer, multi frequencies possibilities has focused tremendous interest in the development of demonstrators using standard CMOS process. But ...

Degradation in a homogeneous alluvial channel due to complete stoppage of sediment downstream of a high capacity reservoir has been studied empirically. Based on dimensional analysis, a method has been established for ...

Operating in an increasingly competitive market environment, financial services companies are engaged in international reengineering of business processes mirroring developments in manufacturing over the past four decades. ...

The paper describes the key concepts and formal grammatical structures underpinning the design of a domain specific language (DSL) developed for dynamically specifying the logical choice-relationships between events and ...
