چکیده
For a Veech surface (X, ω), we characterize Aff + (X, ω) invariant subspaces of X n and prove that non-arithmetic Veech surfaces have only finitely many invariant subspaces of very particular shape (in any dimension). Among other consequences we find copies of (X, ω) embedded in the moduli-space of translation surfaces. We study illumination problems in (pre-)lattice surfaces. For (X, ω) prelattice we prove the at most countableness of points non-illuminable from any x ∈ X. Applying our results on invariant subspaces we prove the finiteness of these sets when (X, ω) is Veech.

متن کاملThe ultrastructural organization of actin and myosin II filaments in the contractile ring: new support for an old model of cytokinesis
Despite recent advances in our understanding of the components and spatial regulation of the contractile ring (CR), the precise ultrastructure of actin and myosin II within the animal cell CR remains an unanswered question. We used superresolution light microscopy and platinum replica transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine the structural organization of actin and myosin II in isola...
متن کاملPhotorealistic Rendering of Human Hair Fibers
Photorealistic rendering of human hair has been a challenge task in computer graphics for many years. These challenges include coming up with a practical yet accurate light scattering model for individual hair fibers, handling the complex geometry of large number of hair fibers, properly simulating the global illumination and complex interaction of light and shadows between the hair strands, an...
متن کاملA system for characterizing small fibers
A System for three-dimensional gauging of small fibers has been developed for process monitoring. The basic hardware consists of a pair of 2048 linear cameras orthogonally positioned, an IBM PC-compatible Pentium computer with frame grabber, a stepper motor and associated hardware for translating the fiber, a bright-field light source and special optics. The fiber is moved vertically past the t...
متن کاملColor-changing and color-tunable photonic bandgap fiber textiles.
We present the fabrication and use of plastic Photonic Band Gap Bragg fibers in photonic textiles for applications in interactive cloths, sensing fabrics, signage and art. In their cross section Bragg fibers feature periodic sequence of layers of two distinct plastics. Under ambient illumination the fibers appear colored due to optical interference in their microstructure. Importantly, no dyes ...
