Birds land reliably on complex surfaces by adapting their foot-surface interactions upon contact [PDF]
eLife, 2019 Birds land on a wide range of complex surfaces, yet it is unclear how they grasp a perch reliably. Here, we show how Pacific parrotlets exhibit stereotyped leg and wing dynamics regardless of perch diameter and texture, but foot, toe, and claw kinematics

Complex reflection groups and K3 surfaces I [PDF]
Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique, 2021 We construct here many families of K3 surfaces that one can obtain as quotients of algebraic surfaces by some subgroups of the rank four complex reflection groups. We find in total 15 families with at worst $ADE$--singularities. In particular we classify

Frontiers in Materials, 2022 The interplay of abrasive grains and materials complicates the grinding of titanium alloys by abrasive belts. Notably, the influence relationship of surface generation for complex curved workpieces such as hollow blades needs to be clarified, making ...

Method of complex glass relief surfaces mechanical grinding [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Presented research is devoted to solving the problem of treatment complex glass relief surfaces by mechanical vibration grinding. The dependences of the obtained grinding results on the type of relief surface, grain size and vibration parameters are ...

Complex fluids at complex surfaces: simply complicated? [PDF]
Molecular Physics, 2011 We study wetting and filling of patterned surfaces by a nematic liquid crystal. We focus on three important classes of periodic surfaces: triangular, sinusoidal and rectangular. The results highlight the similarities and differences of nematic wetting of these surfaces and wetting by simple fluids.

Verlinde formulae on complex surfaces: K-theoretic invariants
Forum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2021 We conjecture a Verlinde type formula for the moduli space of Higgs sheaves on a surface with a holomorphic 2-form. The conjecture specializes to a Verlinde formula for the moduli space of sheaves.

, 2023 Abstract A surface in the Teichmüller space, where the systole function attains its maximum, is called a maximal surface. For genus two there exists a unique maximal surface which is called the Bolza surface. In this article, we study the complexity of the set of systolic geodesics on the Bolza surface.

Representing geometry shape and matter of a complex façade: the church of San Placido in Catania
Disegnare con, 2012 This study investigates the potentialities, the limits and the advantages of the 3D model obtained by means of 3D laser scanner for the documentation and the geometric, formal, materic stdudy of an historical complex façade such as the one of the eight ...
