In this paper, new techniques are introduced for matching the motion cycle boundaries by using simple animation processing algorithms based on some observed characteristics from different families of cyclic motions. Matching the cycle boundaries is one of the essential stages in generating a stream of animation of cyclic human movements. If the cycle boundaries are not matched, noticeable artif...

If speciation is typically a process of allopatric divergence following vicariance or dispersal, then a priori, we might expect that individuals of separate lineages typically will retain the ability to “recognize mates” across species boundaries, especially if some components of mate recognition experience strong stabilizing selection. Confusion results from an over-reliance on the importance ...

Phase diagrams of lipid mixtures can show several different regions of phase coexistence, which include liquid-disordered, liquid-ordered, and gel phases. Some phase regions are small, and some have sharp boundaries. The identity of the phases, their location in composition space, and the nature of the transitions between the phases are important for understanding the behavior of lipid mixtures...
