This paper addresses some performance limits of the kneed and non-kneed passive-dynamic walking machines discovered by McGeer [10, 11]. Energetic inefficiency is measured by the s...
Several algorithms for computing the Minkowski sum of two polygons in the plane begin by decomposing each polygon into convex subpolygons. We examine different methods for decompo...
Mass causality incidents generate a sequence of response events from the emergency services, requiring the allocation and use of resources in a timely fashion. In this paper we de...

In this paper, we present a novel deformable model for soft tissue simulation in a real-time manner. The innovative model consists of two submodels: the surface one and the interna...
This paper focuses on the use of nuclear DNA Short Tandem Repeat traits for the identification of the victims of a Mass Fatality Incident. The goal of the analysis is the assessme...
