Incorporating designs into the tiles that form tessellations presents an interesting challenge for artists. Creating a viable M.C. Escher-like image that works esthetically as well as functionally requires resolving incongruencies at a tile’s edge while constrained by its shape. Escher was the most well known practitioner in this style of mathematical visualization, but there are significant ma...

The ability to assemble molecules into supramolecular architectures of controllable size and symmetry is a long sought after goal of nanotechnology and material engineering. Proteins are particularly attractive for molecular assembly due to their inherent molecular recognition and self-assembly capabilities. Advances in the computational prediction of protein folding and quaternary assembly hav...

The principles and techniques outlined in this article will help the surgeon create hairlines that have the high degree of naturalness and substance expected by today's discerning patients. Surgeons can now establish a natural hairline during the first surgery that can stand on its own, independent of further sessions. It is not enough to "just use micrografts."Proper selection and use of FUs c...
