We explore the macroscopic consequences of lattice anisotropy for diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) in three dimensions. Simple cubic and bcc lattice growths are shown to approach universal asymptotic states in a coherent fashion, and the approach is accelerated by the use of noise reduction. These states are strikingly anisotropic dendrites with a rich hierarchy of structure. For growth on a...

The etiology of melanotic tumors in several strains of Drosophila melanogaster is associated with inherited tumor-inducing factors (3). The tumor-inducing factor (TIF) extracted from larvae of the tu-e (spontaneous) tumor strain when injected into mid 51-52 (genetically tumorfree strain) induces the formation of growths that are histologically similar to those present in the tu-e donors (4, 8)....

Background: Gingival biotype is a prognostic factor in different therapeutic and regenerative approaches in dentistry. Patients with thin biotype are more prone to recession, inflammation, compromised tissue response, therapeutic and regenerative procedures. Identification of gingival biotypes is therefore important for the treatment planning process in restorative and implant dentistry. The pu...

Gingival recession is the displacement of the gingival margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction resulting in the exposure of root surface which puts the patient at risk for dentine hypersensitivity, root caries, abrasion/erosion of roots etc. The etiology can be inflammatory periodontal disease, developmental anatomic abnormalities (aberrant frenal attachment, thin bony plate), toothbrush i...

For entire functions, the notions of their growth indicators such as Ritt order are classical in complex analysis. But the concepts of relative Ritt order of entire functions and as well as their technical advantages of not comparing with the growths of $exp exp z$ are not at all known to the researchers of this area. Therefore the studies of the growths of entire functions in the light of thei...

The Problem: Optical tomography (OT), as a potential diagnostic tool for detecting growths in translucent soft tissue, has been proposed and studied by several groups in recent years. Its principle is to use multiple movable light sources and detectors attached to the tissue surface to collect information on light attenuation, and to reconstruct the internal 3-D absorption and scattering distri...
