Vortex Maze Construction

چکیده
The creation of engaging mazes requires both mathematical and aesthetic considerations. We present an algorithm for producing mazes that we feel are difficult to solve. This algorithm is based on constructing and connecting obfuscating maze devices called vortices. A vortex is a collection of passages that wind around each other in a spiral and converge on a central junction. We explore variations on vortex construction that enable a range of aesthetic opportunities in the design of mazes, and demonstrate our technique with several of our own examples.

The effect of the vortex barker and stepped chamber hydraulic flow through morning glory spillway
In recent decades, many dams have been built or are under construction. Due to the high demand for water and soil erosion, increasing the need for dam construction in different regions are quite tangible. In 1900 the number of large dams, did not exceed 50. But in the 1950s to 1986 the number of large dams (over 15 meters), more than 39,000 were counted. The 70s dams has been increasing develop...
متن کاملNanoscale switch for vortex polarization mediated by Bloch core formation in magnetic hybrid systems
Vortices are fundamental magnetic topological structures characterized by a curling magnetization around a highly stable nanometric core. The control of the polarization of this core and its gyration is key to the utilization of vortices in technological applications. So far polarization control has been achieved in single-material structures using magnetic fields, spin-polarized currents or sp...
متن کاملTransmogrifying Fuzzy Vortices
We show that the construction of vortex solitons of the noncommutative Abelian-Higgs model can be extended to a critically coupled gauged linear sigma model with Fayet-Illiopolous D-terms. Like its commutative counterpart, this fuzzy linear sigma model has a rich spectrum of BPS solutions. We offer an explicit construction of the degree−k static semilocal vortex and study in some detail the inf...
متن کاملSpherical Maze Generation
In this paper, we proposed an automatic spherical maze generation framework. Traditional mazes are generated on two or three dimensional spaces, with regular grids as walls and paths. Instead of pure two or three dimensional mazes, we automatically generate maze on the surface of a sphere, which provides a unique and fresh maze solving experience. Because regular grids on spherical surface will...
متن کاملThe Effect of Taurine on the Learning Ability of the Drosophila melanogaster APPL mutant
The effect of taurine on the behavior of Drosophila beta-amyloid precursor protein like (APPL) mutant was studied. Trials were conducted by training fruit flies to avoid white vinegar using negative olfactory conditioning. It was hypothesized that if a solution of 1,000 ppm of taurine is administered to groups of the organism, then the average amount of negative reinforcement required for the o...
