Description: The thoracic diaphragm is a thin, flat, and modified half-dome of musculofibrous tissue that separates the abdominal and thoracic cavities. Directly linked to respiration, the diaphragm is a skeletal muscle that contracts during inspiration, whereas expiration is generally a passive process. A number of different structures cross the diaphragm, but three distinct apertures allow the passage of the aorta, esophagus, and vena cava. Using image data obtained from the Visible Human Project of the 59 year old female cadaver, the 3-D geometry of the diaphragm is reconstructed and, from the corresponding solid model, a shell finite element mesh is generated which is used to perform structural analyses.

98% of Claremont Graduate University's core faculty have a PhD with approximately 82% of them publishing work each year.
Claremont Graduate University has approximately 111 full-time professors on staff; 18% are of diverse ethnic background, 35% are female; and 22% are foreign born.
About Claremont Graduate University:
Founded in 1925, Claremont Graduate University (CGU) is one of the top graduate schools in the United States. Our academic schools conduct leading-edge research and award masters and doctoral degrees in 24 disciplines. Because the world’s problems are not simple nor easily defined, diverse faculty and students research and study across the traditional discipline boundaries to create new and practical solutions for the major problems plaguing our world. A Southern California based graduate school devoted entirely to graduate research and study, CGU boasts a low student-to-faculty ratio.
The flames in our logo stand for our motto: Multa lumina, una lux (Latin, "many flames, one light"). CGU was founded in 1925 under the leadership of James A. Blaisdell, an academic visionary and theologian.

Description: Humerus and scapula are the principal bones that constitute the human shoulder joint, one of the most complex joints of the entire body. 3-D anatomical models like these are used in a wide spectrum of applications, but one of the most exciting domains of its application is the biomechanical area, principally in finite element analysis. The study of the mechanical behaviour of human tissues (hard and soft tissues like bone, muscle, cartilage and ligaments) in normal, pathologic and implant conditions are just some of the applications of this vast biomedical field

Description: Attempt to compute the closest pair of points between a sphere and an ellipsoid. The code had, at the time, a bug that corrupted the predicted solution and, therefore, the numerical computations did not converge leading the algorithm to enter an infinite loop. Visualizing how the algorithm iterated in real-time gave an overall understanding of what was going wrong allowing, in this manner, to detect where the bug was located within the code. Each pair of green dots connected by a yellow line corresponds to a candidate solution of the formulated system of non-linear equations for minimum distance calculation.
Technique: Computer generated image.

Description: These images show the interior of a finite element mesh, being the discrete unit a tetrahedron. As it is possible to see, the meshes are well structured and regular, which is an important factor for finite element analysis since a very low element distortion implicates more accurate results and higher convergence rates

Description: These three-dimensional models of the human mandible and adjoining teeth were primarily built to perform biomechanical studies, more specifically, to predict bone remodeling at the alveolar part of the mandible. Such digital anatomical models contain a resourceful amount of information for medical device design and can also be used for 3-D visualization and rapid prototyping purposes, in particular, within orthodontics

Description: The cervical spine has four different basic movements: flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation. The flexion-extension movement correspond to the "yes" movement and the axial rotation to the "no" movement. These movements were simulated by applying equivalent moments. The image shows that the developed finite element model recreates the basic movements of the correspondent anatomical structure

Description: A probable etiology of the hip osteoarthritis is the femoro-acetabular impingement, i.e., an abnormal morphological relation between the femoral head and the acetabular cavity that leads to the chronic injury of the most peripheral regions of the joint. The “Cam” type impingement is due to the presence of a non-spherical portion of the femoral head. This asphericity exerts an excessive pressure on the acetabular cartilage during flexural movements and/or internal rotations. Top image: Radial magnetic resonance arthography (rMRA) image with the articular structures segmented and the indication of the centre of rotation of the femoral head and the axes of the anatomical neck. Bottom image: 2-D quadrilateral mesh of the geometric model extracted from the rMRA image, suitable to evaluate the order of magnitude of the pressures at the contact zone of the femoral head as well as the stresses at the cartilages as a result of the abnormal contact between the different tissues.

Four academic programs united in July 2002 to establish the College of Communication and Information at Kent State University. The Schools of Communication Studies, Journalism and Mass Communication, Library and Information Science and Visual Communication Design joined in one college to create a unique learning community and to begin a pioneering effort in integrative research and professional practice. The College of Communication and Information continues to build its reputation for collaborative, applied and theoretical research while providing a first-class education for the next generations of communicators and leaders.

Description: Exploring the three-dimensionality of the geometric models allows an acute and multi-perspective interiorization of the structure’s anatomy. The assembled view of the C5-C6 vertebra provides a global appreciation of the structure and underlying complexity. On the other hand, the exploded view reveals each anatomical piece individually and a sense of how they relate to each other.

Description: The active contour method is a semi-automatic image segmentation process based on deformable models, i.e., closed parametric curves or surfaces with physical properties that, under the influence of external and internal mechanical forces, deform and coalesce adapting to image features. This figure exhibits the active contour evolution of a cervical spine, showing a transversal section of the segmented image data (left) and the corresponding 3-D evolution (right).

A time capsule to celebrate the legacy of MIT's legendary Building 20: "history packed a lot into Building 20's rambling, peeling, barracks-like confines -- from lofty hopes to gritty heroics to the seeds of scientific revolution," says an MIT site. A "temporary" building put up during WW II for the development of radar, among other things, Building 20 was torn down nearly sixty years later to be replaced by the Stata Center for Computer, Information and Intelligence Sciences.
