DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Disk Galaxies at High Redshift? [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractThe successful implementation of integral field near-infrared spectrographs fed by adaptive optics is providing unprecedented views of gas motions within galaxies at redshifts z = 2 − 3, when the universe was forming stars at its peak rate. A complex picture of galaxy kinematics is emerging, with inflows, rotation within sometimes extended and ...

INTERLOCKING RESONANCE PATTERNS IN GALAXY DISKS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2013 We have developed a method for finding dynamical resonances in disk galaxies using the change in sense of the radial component of the in-plane velocity at a resonance radius. Using simulations we show that we would expect to find these changes at corotation radii, with a weaker effect at the ILR and a small effect at the OLR. The method works well with

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2003 AbstractGlobal star formation is the key to understanding galaxy disk formation. This in turn depends on gravitational instability of disks and continuing gas accretion as well as minor merging. A key component is feedback from supernovae. Primary observational constraints on disk galaxy formation and evolution include the Schmidt-Kennicutt law, the ...

On the evolution of disk galaxies [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1991 galaxies is presented. A numerical code that simulates the gravitatIonal contraction of a galaxy since the protogalactic phase has been developed. The models are based on a balance between the turbulent energy dissipation of the gas and the energy input from supernovae, the star formation being regulated by the gas conditions through Schmidt's law. The

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...
