This project focuses on modeling central nervous system generation and repair through micro-environmental interactions. Data structures include tables for axons, oligodendrocytes, myelin, and astrocytes with detailed aspects and processes. Design of tables in SQL format and future tasks are outlined.

Design and Development of a Discrete Simulation for Optic Nerve Development By: Brent Hefty Greg Tevis Project Advisor: Samuel F. Hunter, M.D., Ph.D.
Overall Purpose • To design and implement a simulation for central nervous system generation and repair as a function of micro-environmental interactions.
Data Structure Development • Main Tables • Axon Table • Oligodendrocyte Table • Myelin Table • Astrocyte Table • Astrocyte Process Table
Axon Table • Important aspects • position • time
Oligodendrocyte Table • Important aspects: • sheath number • time
Myelin Table • Important aspects • time • references back to other table
Myelination Process Representation • Myelination Process Components • Myelinating Oligodendrocyte • Process attached to axon • Maximum of 10 - 20 turns at .07 um per turn. • Hypertophication after mylination
Astrocyte Table • Important aspects • time • position (due to size)
Astrocyte Process Table • Important aspects • branching • branching ID
Design of Table in SQL • Use SQL Server Enterprise Manager • Select New Table option • Fill in fields according to model: • Column Name • Datatype • Length • Precision • Scale • Allow Nulls • Default Value • Identity • Identity Seed • Identity Increment
Change of Table Values • Initial Table • Record Table • Updated Table
SQL Can publish to web Cannot import HTML tables Cannot hyperlink datatype Automatic backups Transaction log backup Automatic recovery Max. database size: 1,048,516 terabytes Very Large Database (VLD) support No built-in reporting Access Can publish to web Can import HTML tables Can hyperlink datatype No auotmatic backups No transaction log backup No automatic recovery Max. database size: 1.2 GB No Very Large Database (VLD) support Built-in reporting SQL vs. Access
Past Work: SQL is installed Tables are constructed Initial growth parameters and algorithms Future Work: Fill table field values Begin work on algorithm implementation Project Status
