Rapid and stable osseointegration signifies a major concern in design of implantable
prostheses, which stimulates continuous development of new implant materials and …

Discrete mereotopology is a logical theory for the specification of qualitative spatial functions
and relations defined over a discrete space, intended as a set of basic elements, the pixels …

We present a bio-inspired calculus for describing 3D shapes moving in a space. A shape
forms a 3D process when combined with a behaviour. Behaviours are specified with a timed …

In this chapter, it is presented an extensive bibliographic survey about meshless methods,
bone remodelling and bone regeneration modelling. Here, the regeneration and …

The Shape Calculus is a bio-inspired calculus for describing 3D shapes moving in a space.
A shape forms a 3D process when combined with a behaviour. Behaviours are specified …

Bone has different functional requirements at different scales, from the macroscale to the
microscale. Bone remodeling has as a consequence the change of the bone morphology at …

Solid titanium and its alloys have been the most prevalent materials for dental and
orthopaedic implants attributable to their advantageous mechanical and biocompatible …

Many biological phenomena are inherently multiscale (MS)-ie they are characterised by
interactions involving simultaneously different spatial and temporal scales. The needs of …

Existing approaches in multiscale (MS) science and engineering have evolved from a range
of ideas and solutions that are reflective of their original problem domains. As a result …

The Shape Calculus is a bio-inspired timed and spatial calculus for describing 3D
geometrical shapes moving in a space. Its purpose is twofold: i) modelling and formally …
