Abstract: Roger Sabbadini, Ph.D., was the motivation behind this animation. The actin-myosin crossbridge system is complex, and we are really only speculating on the details in many ways. However, if a picture is worth a thousand words, this one second, 15 frame, animation is worth at least 15 thousand.

Abstract: This set of pages has scientifically oriented freeware available for download, and discusses Palm OS program development for the beginner. The freeware is six released application and one tool kit. Included: GreatCircle works in conjunction with GeoDB to display distance and bearing between two Earth locations. GeoDB is a database application that holds earth location data. It makes the locations available to be imported into applications. Earth and Sun is a program for the Palm OS to show the Sun Illuminated area of the Earth. The RiseSet Application is a program for the Palm OS to compute the rise, transit and set times for the Sun and the Moon. Any date and user location may be specified. GeoMagnetic Info is an application for the Palm OS to compute the magnetic declination, inclination, and magnitude for any location on Earth. FormulaCalc is a general purpose calculator which accepts algebraic formulas and computes their values.
Abstract: Earth&Sun is an application for Ewe enabled computers to show the Sun Illuminated area of the Earth, and time and distance information. These application are written in Ewe*, a variant of Java. One of the features of Ewe is that the very same application can run on both your desktop OS and your mobile OS.

Abstract: Textbook for a Summer School Course about Virtual Worlds at UOC Barcelona.
The textbook offers a glimpse into virtual worlds in general and Second Life in particular. Titled “Mundos virtuales. Un paseo por Second Life” (“Virtual worlds. A stroll in Second Life”), the course (and book) covers a range of topics ranging from basic movement and building techniques to some theories on virtual identities.
Abstract: Downloadable game designed by Ben Duskin (with help from folks at Lucas Arts) as his wish from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The object of the game is to destroy all mutated cells and to collect the seven shields that provide protection from common side effects of chemotherapy. Throughout Ben Duskin's battle with Leukemia, he played computer games, which helped him get through the treatment process. He also began to think about the need to have something positive that helped other kids battle their illnesses. So when Make-A-Wish approached him to grant his wish, he decided to design a video game that would be helpful for kids like him who have cancer -- a way to fight back and relieve some of the pain and stress involved with treatment.
