Description

Skeletal animation is a technique in computer animation in which a character is represented in two parts: a surface representation used to draw the character (called skin or mesh) and a hierarchical set of interconnected bones (called the skeleton or rig) used to animate (pose and keyframe) the mesh. While this technique is often used to animate humans or more generally for organic modeling, it only serves to make the animation process more intuitive and the same technique can be used to control the deformation of any object — a door, a spoon, a building, or a galaxy. This technique is used in virtually all animation systems where simplified user interfaces allows animators to control often complex algorithms and a huge amount of geometry; most notably through inverse kinematics and other "goaloriented" techniques. In principle, however, the intention of the technique is never to imitate real anatomy or physical processes, but only to control the deformation of the mesh data.

ASC 103: SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF AFRICAN SOCIETIES
The discipline of sociology is founded on a trinity of three main pillars: social structure, social research methods and social theory. You may like to think of the discipline of sociology as a traditional African stool that stands on three legs: social structure, social research methods and social theory. Having been introduced to the discipline of sociology last semester, this course exposes you to the first pillar: social structure. As you go on with your courses in sociology you will encounter the other two pillars: social research methods and social theory. To put them in perspective: Social theory attempts to explain why things happen and how they happen. It also attempts to predict social phenomena. Social research methods deal with how sociologists come to know what they know about society and the tools that they use to test the validity of some of the predictions made by theory. Social structure attempts to explain and describe the reality of how society is constructed.

OBSTRUCTED LABOUR Trending!
Normal labour: defined as regular painful uterine contractions which becomes progressively stronger and more frequent accompanied by the effacement and progressive dilatation of the cervix and the descent of the presenting part of the fetus. The labor is divided into 3 stages. The mechanism of labour is explained by the change in the position and the attitude of the fetus, as the fetus initiates its way through the pelvis (birth canal). Mechanism includes: 1) Engagement 2) Descent 3) Flexion 4) Internal rotation 5) Extension 6) Restitution 7) External rotation
