Abstract We describe the lamination limits of sequences compact disks $$M_n$$ M n embedded in $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ R 3 with constant mean curvature $$H_n$$ H , when boundarie...

We show that there are algorithms to determine if a 3-manifold contains an essential lamination or a Reebless foliation. AMS Classification numbers Primary: 57M50

Stromatolites are commonly interpreted as evidence of ancient microbial life, yet stromatolite morphogenesis is poorly understood. We apply radiometric tracer and dating techniques, molecular analyses and growth experiments to investigate siliceous stromatolite morphogenesis in Obsidian Pool Prime (OPP), a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. We examine rates of stromatolite growth and the ...

As the age characters of the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus L.), the following have been reported hitherto. They are body length, stage of growth, number of ovulation, white scars (Mackintosh & Wheeler, 1929), baleen plate (Ruud, 1940), christalline lens (Nishiwaki, 1950), and ear plug (Purves, 1955). Among them, laminations presented in core of the ear plug is considered as the best age char...

In [Mi4,BrocCM1], Minsky, Brock and Canary gave a proof of Thurston’s Ending Lamination Conjecture for indecomposable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, we offer another approach to this which was inspired by the original. Many of the key results are similar, though the overall logic is somewhat different. A possible advantage is that much of the relevant theory of “hierarchies” and other, ...

Abstract Lamination technique is one of the most promising and effective approaches to produce flexible organic solar cells (OSCs), with combination high throughput simultaneous encapsulation. In this study, ITO‐free OSCs were successfully fabricated by lamination under optimized temperature pressure. It found that introduction hole interface layer PEDOT:MoO 3 helps improve both film hydrophobi...

The presence of lamination on sedimentary rocks is a distinct characteristic, particularly in shales. They are due to the contrast between successive layers with regard grain size, composition, color, and structures, such as graded beds. Typically, degree controlled by sedimentation rate flow regime. Herein, we developed mudstone classification scheme terms because lamination-based shale facies...
