  1. 11. Three-dimensional constitutive finite element modeling of the Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Giacomo Longo; [2015]
    Keywords : Constitutive modeling; FEM; Achilles tendon; Soft tissue; Fluid behaviour; 3D geometry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Tendons connect muscles to bones enabling efficient locomotion. This study focuses on the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest tendon in the body and fundamental for activities like walking, running and jumping. The Achilles tendon is the most frequently subjected tendon when it comes to injuries and ruptures. READ MORE

  3. 12. Pathfinding with Hard Constraints : Mobile Systems and Real Time Strategy Games Combined

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Avdelningen för för interaktion och systemdesign

    Author : Samuel Erdtman; Johan Fylling; [2008]
    Keywords : Pathfinding; Nintendo DS; RTS-game.;

    Abstract : There is an abundance of pathfinding solutions, but are any of those solutions suitable for usage in a real time strategy (RTS) game designed for mobile systems with limited processing and storage capabilities (such as the Nintendo DS, PSP, cellular phones, etc.)? The RTS domain puts great requirements on the pathfinding mechanics used in the game; in the form of de- mands on responsiveness and path optimality. READ MORE

    Abstract : An evaluation of the ecological status of 23 small water reservoirs in Burkina Faso was made in 2004 by IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), Large dominance of cyanobacteria in some of the reservoirs was one of the signs of an imbalance in the ecology of the water (Cecchi et al. 2005).
