Q: How can I compute the mass and moment of inertia of a polyhedron? For use in a rigid body simulation, I want to compute the mass and inertia tensor (moment of inertia), given a triangle mesh representing the boundary of the (not necessarily convex) object, and assuming constant density in the interior.

A: Decompose your object into a set of tetrahedrons around the selected interior point. (That is solids using each triangular face element and the chosen center.)
You should be able to look up the volume of each element. The moment of inertia should also be available.
It gets to be rather more trouble if the surface is non-convex.

I seem to have miss-remembered by nomenclature and skew is not the adjective I wanted. I mean non-regular.

A: This is covered in the book "Game Physics, Second Edition" by D. Eberly. The chapter 2.5.5 and sample code is available online. (Just found it, haven't tried it out yet.)
Also note that the polyhedron doesn't have to be convex for the formulas to work, it just has to be simple.

A: Assuming your trimesh is closed (whether convex or not) there is a way!
As dmckee points out, the general approach is building tetrahedrons from each surface triangle, then applying the obvious math to total up the mass and moment contributions from each tet.  The trick comes in when the surface of the body has concavities that make internal pockets when viewed from whatever your reference point is.
So, to get started, pick some reference point (the origin in model coordinates will work fine), it doesn't even need to be inside of the body.  For every triangle, connect the three points of that triangle to the reference point to form a tetrahedron.  Here's the trick: use the triangle's surface normal to figure out if the triangle is facing towards or away from the reference point (which you can find by looking at the sign of the dot product of the normal and a vector pointing at the centroid of the triangle).  If the triangle is facing away from the reference point, treat its mass and moment normally, but if it is facing towards the reference point (suggesting that there is open space between the reference point and the solid body), negate your results for that tet.
Effectively what this does is over-count chunks of volume and then correct once those areas are shown to be not part of the solid body.  If a body has lots of blubbery flanges and grotesque folds (got that image?), a particular piece of volume may be over-counted by a hefty factor, but it will be subtracted off just enough times to cancel it out if your mesh is closed.  Working this way you can even handle internal bubbles of space in your objects (assuming the normals are set correctly).  On top of that, each triangle can be handled independently so you can parallelize at will.  Enjoy!
Afterthought: You might wonder what happens when that dot product gives you a value at or near zero.  This only happens when the triangle face is parallel (its normal is perpendicular) do the direction to the reference point -- which only happens for degenerate tets with small or zero area anyway.  That is to say, the decision to add or subtract a tet's contribution is only questionable when the tet wasn't going to contribute anything anyway.

A: I'd take a look at vtkMassProperties.  This is a fairly robust algorithm for computing this, given a surface enclosing a volume.

A: If your polydedron is complicated, consider using Monte Carlo integration, which is often used for multidimensional integrals.  You will need an enclosing hypercube, and you will need to be able to test whether a given point is inside or outside the polyhedron.  And you will need to be patient, as Monte Carlo integration is slow.
Start as usual at Wikipedia, and then follow the external links pages for further reading.
(For those unfamiliar with Monte Carlo integration, here's how to compute a mass. Pick a point in the containing hypercube.  Add to the point_total counter.  Is it in the polyhedron?  If yes, add to the point_internal counter.   Do this lots (see the convergence and error bound estimates.)  Then
mass_polyhedron/mass_hypercube \approx points_internal/points_total.
For a moment of inertia, you weight each count by the square of the distance of the point to the reference axis.
The tricky part is testing whether a point is inside or outside your polyhedron.  I'm sure that there are computational geometry algorithms for that.

Hi to all, I'm Brazilian and i'm new in this Forum. I mainly use Firefox, and from some years ago, i'm a tester of the Firefox nightly, for windows and for linux.

SeaMonkey is currently mostly broken. Our Mozilla "friends" removed a lot of stuff on short or no notice. This is probably caused by bookmarks api changes. These were announced early some time ago and a fix is already in review.
We are concentrating on fixing up 2.57 in comm-beta because this will become the next ESR version.
Mail news/sidebar and help are broken among other things.

CBA President Statement on SCC's Decision in Groia
Today the Supreme Court handed down a split decision in Groia, with the majority ruling that the standard of review of a Law Society's Appeal Panel decision is reasonableness, not correctness, and then deciding that the Appeal Panel's finding of professional misconduct against Joseph Groia on the basis of incivility was unreasonable.
The CBA intervened in the appeal to argue that a test for incivility amounting to professional misconduct should properly balance three values of fundamental importance to our court system: the value of courtroom civility, the independence of the judiciary, and the right of litigants to fearless and zealous representation.
The CBA is pleased with the SCC's decision as it underlines the importance of both civility and resolute advocacy in the administration of justice. The Court also gave weight to the presiding judge's reaction to the lawyer's impugned conduct as a factor to consider when a law society panel assesses a lawyer's conduct in a courtroom setting, a consideration on which the CBA had insisted in its intervention.

Online cultural programming
Barbara Mastrobuono / Giovana Christ
At this unprecedented moment in human history, we are witnessing a mass closure of cultural institutions and galleries in an attempt to stop the advance of COVID-19. In parallel, efforts are being made to fill the void created by these closed doors, with virtual programs designed for quarantine. In order to help you better navigate through these programs, we have gathered some of them here, in the hope that they will help keep the culture a little closer to us in this moment of social isolation. This article will be updated as more schedules are made public.

Q: How can I using jquery to get a data from a function in aspx.cs in .net c# web application? Does anyone know how can I using jquery to retrieve the data from the function in aspx.cs in .net c# web application?
Example:
if I have a function call  public void getData(string serachValue). When the user type in the word in the textbox, it will use jquery to call getData() to return the result and show on the screen

A: First make this function static and add webmethod attribute:
[WebMethod]
 public static string Confirm(int id)
    {
        // confirm entry

        return "Test Data";
    }

Then use ajax() jquery method: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
 $('.confirmBtn').click(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "MyPageName.aspx/Confirm",
            data: '{"id":"' + 1 + '"}',
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {
                var returnData = data.d;

            },
            error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
                alert(thrownError.toString());
            },
            timeout: function (data) {

            }
        });
    });

And the best article talking about this is there: http://encosia.com/2008/05/29/using-jquery-to-directly-call-aspnet-ajax-page-methods/

A: In Asp.Net MVC you'd create a controller action which calls getData() and returns Json data, or a partial view.  In JQuery you'd then call that action using it's URL in .load(), or something similar.

A: If the method is in the code behind you can tag decorate it with [WebMethod]
[WebMethod]
public static void getData(string serachValue) { ... }

Check out this blog for the jquery call and JS you will need.

Game Development with Unreal Engine
Learn about game development with one of the most popular game engines, Unreal Engine!
Picture the most immersive, otherworldly gaming environment you have experienced. The characters and their surroundings have a sense of realism or detail that makes it easy to forget you are on your couch and not in some imaginary world of infinite possibilities. The magic of these digital realms is possible due to software development environments designed specifically for game building, known as game engines. One of the most popular game engines of recent, fueling megahits like Fortnite and Rocket League, is Unreal Engine.
Unreal Engine is a complete set of tools that allows developers and video game designers to create realistic, interactive environments across desktop, mobile, and console platforms as well as in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Development on the first Unreal Engine began back in 1995 by Tim Sweeney of Epic Games, with the first video game built on the engine, first-person shooter Unreal, released in 1998. The game was a critical success, and Epic Games began licensing the use of Unreal Engine to other developers, allowing them to design creations of their own using what quickly became known as one of the best tools for building life-like video games.
The first three versions of Unreal Engine were written in UnrealScript, an object-oriented scripting language developed by Sweeney specifically for the Unreal Engine. Unreal Engine 4, released in 2014, brought about major change by switching its code to be written in C%20%20, allowing for easier upgrading, debugging, customization and growth. Another major change with the release of Unreal Engine 4 was making the engine free to the public, with fees limited to shipped games earning revenue. By allowing open access to the Unreal Engine source code, everyone from novice developers with beginner C%20%20 skills to experienced video game developers can utilize the engine for game development and bring their imaginations to life!
Why are so many of the world's most popular games developed with Unreal Engine? The answer lies in the numerous features that allow developers to make the most realistic games with compelling action. The engine performs physically-based rendering, creating settings with photorealistic lighting and shadows. Feel free to create extensive environments with life-like terrain and foliage for players to explore. And add depth and complexity to non-player characters with the engine's advanced artificial intelligence system. On top of the features that define the visual grandeur and gameplay complexity of Unreal Engine developed games, a scalable multiplayer framework allows game developers to create an interactive environment amongst players across the world.
Some of the latest developments with Unreal Engine have focused on the increasingly popular arenas of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Unreal Engine 4 was designed for the complex rendering at high framerates which is required for realistic virtual reality, and Epic Games releases frequent updates for the latest VR/AR hardware and software including Facebook's Oculus Rift, Samsung's Gear VR, and Apple's ARKit.
Are you ready to bring your creations to life and develop new worlds with Unreal Engine? Get started with the Unreal Engine documentation that explains system requirements, how to install the engine, and how to utilize its different functionality. This 10 part series on Unreal Engine 4 for beginners is an excellent resource as well.
Want to check out some amazing video games created with Unreal Engine? See this list of Unreal Engine games in development in 2018 including Nintendo's Yoshi, Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts 3, and Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball FighterZ.
