Topographic patterns are known to affect cellular processes such as adhesion, migration and differentiation. However, the optimal way to deliver topographic signals to provide cells with precise instructions has not been defined yet. In this work, we hypothesize that topographic patterns may be able to control the sensing and adhesion machinery of cells when their interval features are tuned on...

The internal limiting membrane (ILM) and cortical vitreous of the rabbit and primate were studied with transmission electron microscopy following staining with the cationic dye, Alcian blue GX. An unusual feature of the cortical vitreal collagen fibril was its displacement from the ILM: it did not insert into the lamina densa. The separation between vitreal collagen and the ILM was especially n...

Abstract Following observations made in a survey campaign along the Lost River Fault (Idaho, USA) 2019, we integrate both original and previously published data to obtain detailed segmentation of fault sections that failed 1983 Borah Peak earthquake (Mw 6.9). The ruptured topographic surface with an oblique-normal faulting mechanism, activating two SW-dipping segments (Thousand Springs Warm Spr...

A hypsometric map is a type of map used to represent topographic characteristics by filling different map areas with diverging colors. The setting of appropriate diverging colors is essential for the map to reveal topographic details. When lunar real environmental exploration programs are performed, large-scale hypsometric maps with a high resolution and greater topographic detail are helpful. ...

the effect of soil and topographic features on distribution of amygdalus scoparia in nehbandan (iran) was investigated. slope, aspect and altitudinal maps were overlaid to prepare a working map unit. quantitative and qualitative traits, including height, number, collar diameter of sprout with the highest diameter, crown diameter and trunk health were recorded in 1000 m2 plots (27 plots). in eac...

Buoyancy inhomogeneities on sloping surfaces arise in numerous situations, for example, from variations in snow/ice cover, cloud cover, topographic shading, soil moisture, vegetation type, and land use. In this paper, the classical Prandtl model for one-dimensional flow of a viscous stably stratified fluid along a uniformly cooled sloping planar surface is extended to include the simplest type ...

Current trends in clinical dental implant therapy include use of endosseous dental implant surfaces embellished with nanoscale topographies. The goal of this review is to consider the role of nanoscale topographic modification of titanium substrates for the purpose of improving osseointegration. Nanotechnology offers engineers and biologists new ways of interacting with relevant biological proc...
