This paper describes a method of building and maintaining a good set of triangle strips for both static and continuous level–of–detail (CLOD) meshes. For static meshes, the strips are better than those computed by the classic SGI and STRIPE algorithms. For CLOD meshes, the strips are maintained incrementally as the mesh topology changes. The incremental changes are fast and the number of strips...

The morphological diversity associated with the strip substructure of the euglenid pellicle was examined, and after identifying characters and states, we outlined hypotheses about their evolution. We have attempted to standardize terms necessary for analytical comparisons of strips by providing a glossary and comparing published synonyms. Most of the substructural diversity found in euglenids i...

We compared responses to calcium ionophore A23187, vasopressin, and substance P in helical strips of dog middle cerebral, basilar, and posterior communicating arteries to obtain a better understanding of humoral control of cerebrovascular tone in different brain regions and its potential impact on mechanisms of cerebral vasospasm. A23187 relaxed these different arterial strips partially precont...

Two types of kill strips, Hercon Vaportape II and Plato Insecticide Strip, are used by boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis (Boheman), eradication programs in the United States (U.S.). Both types utilize dichlorvos as the killing agent and are typically replaced in traps on a four-week interval. However, published information on the duration of effectiveness of kill strips is not available and some ...

A curve negotiation task at a prescribed and constant velocity was performed in the presence of external disturbances. The driver’s goal was to simultaneously minimize the heading error and lateral position error. The present paper investigates the separate contributions of the road tracking and the disturbance to the heading and position errors, and more important, the effect of motion on thes...

We performed an experiment similar to that of Figure 2 but using saturated sugar solution as the wicking fluid. This system suppresses dissolution of the dried sugar, thus the pore structure of the strips should remain constant during wet-out, and the framework of the conventional Lucas-Washburn relationship should apply (as it does for untreated strips, so long as the meaning of r is not over-...
