Powdery calcium carbonates, predominantly calcite and aragonite, with planar defects and cation-anion mixed surfaces as deposited on low-carbon steel by magnetic water treatment (MWT) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and vibration spectroscopy. Calcite were found to form faceted nanoparticles having 3x (01̄14) commensurate superstructure and with well-developed {112̄0...

A major impediment to the implementation of visualization algorithms on very-large unstructured scientific data sets is the suitable internal representation of the data. Not only must we represent the data elements themselves, but we must also represent the connectivity or topological relationships between the data. We present three data structures for unstructured meshes that are designed to f...

That a normally invariant character may have underlying genetic variability has been demonstrated for a number of characters ( WADDINGTON 1953; RENDEL 1...

Cinema is a multidimensional art capable of affecting our neurophysiologic structure in different ways. Studies show that different parts of the brain are activated while watching a structured film and consequently, the movie imitates consciousness structure.
