The flame forming process is widely used to manufacture ship hull plates. The saddle-shaped surfaces have different curvatures in perpendicular angles of planes and the manufacturers face an anti-clastic curvature. In this article, the manufacturing of saddle-shaped surfaces utilizing the flame forming process is investigated. The spiral irradiating scheme is used for forming. In order to study...

A new type of exact solutions for photogravitational restricted three-body problem (a case of spiral motion) is presented here. A key point is that we obtain the appropriate specific case of spiral motions from the Jacobian-type integral of motion for photogravitational restricted three-body problem (when orbit of small 3-rd body is assumed to be like a spiral). Besides, we should especially no...

We propose the ecosystem of self-replicating loops on CA by designing new rules for interactions between replicators. Here, the replicators interact with each other by forming a competition relationship (a hypercycle-like network). The spiral structure emerges in this model with in 5 species. This spiral pattern produces larger loops in the bounaries of species. Comparing with a single species ...

In the cochlea, a high K+ environment in the endolymph is essential for the maintenance of normal hearing function, and the transport of K+ ions through gap junctions of the cochlear epithelium is thought to play an important role in endolymphatic homeostasis. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the three-dimensional (3D) ultrastructure of spiral ligament root cells and interdental ...

Propagating wave segments are stabilized to a constant size and shape by applying negative feedback from the measured wave area to the excitability of the medium. The locus of steady-state wave size as a function of excitability defines the perturbation threshold for the initiation of spiral waves. This locus also defines the excitability boundary for spiral wave behavior in active media.

The internal depolarization of linearly polarized radio synchrotron emission of spiral galaxies by differential Faraday rotation in regularmagnetic fields andbyFaradaydispersion in random magnetic fields is formulated in one dimension as a function of radio wavelength λ. The random fields are modeled as a number of cells along the line of sight which obey a Kolmogorov spectrum in size and in fi...

Hair cells, the inner ear's sensory cells, are characterized by tens to hundreds of actin-rich stereocilia that form the hair bundle apparatus necessary for mechanoelectrical transduction. Both the number and length of actin filaments are precisely regulated in stereocilia. Proper cochlear and vestibular function also depends on actin filaments in nonsensory supporting cells. The formation of a...

To quantify cerebral perfusion with dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI), one needs to measure the arterial input function (AIF). Conventionally, one derives the contrast concentration from the DSC sequence by monitoring changes in either the amplitude or the phase signal on the assumption that the signal arises completely from blood. In practice, partial volume artifacts are inevitabl...

In this study, Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite was ablated in various polar and nonpolar solvents by Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (wavelength=1064 nm, frequency=2 kHz, pulse duration=240 ns). Then, the products were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The images showed that different carbon structures such as cauliflower-like structures...
