Modeling Bloons Tower Defense as a temporal two‐dimensional knapsack problem with irregular shapes and side constraints: integer programming–based approaches

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In Tower Defense (TD) games, the objective is to defend a specific point on the game map from mobile units by constructing towers with offensive capabilities. In this work, we focus on Bloons Tower Defense (Bloons TD), one of the earliest and most prominent TD games.

Compression of triangulated solids’ surfaces by Decimating Reconstructable Triangles

open access: yesSoftwareX
This paper introduces a new programming solution for reducing the size of files needed to store 3D geometric solids, whose surfaces are interpolated by watertight irregular triangle meshes.

A genetic algorithm for scheduling an automated machine cell with tool and pallet–fixture setups

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper solves the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines with tooling and pallet–fixture constraints in a high‐mix, low‐volume, high‐complexity manufacturing environment. The machines are connected through an automated material handling device and in‐between buffer places that allow for autonomous production.

Digital range of motion analysis is sensitive to subjective steps in joint model construction

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A systematic sensitivity analysis of a six degree‐of‐freedom range of motion (ROM) analysis workflow was conducted to evaluate how variation in the subjective steps of the reference pose assembly affects the determined viable poses in the ankle and tarsometatarsophalangeal III joints of Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris).

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

3d virtual prototyping of home service robots using asadal/obj

open access: yes, 2005
– Typical development of a robot requires that the hardware be mostly functional before significant software development begins. Utilizing virtual prototype of hardware and its environment by simulation can reduce the time to market and manufacturing ...

Virtual articulation using sequential mandibular intraoral scans and computational functional rotation reference determination—Proof‐of‐concept

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Virtual articulators require accurate spatial orientation of digital casts for meaningful occlusal analysis during prosthesis design. Current methods for establishing this orientation rely on facial scanning, cone‐beam computed tomography, electronic jaw tracking, or arbitrary population–based values. This proof‐of‐concept technique presents a
