Tending to the Facial Surfaces of a Mathematical Biology Head-Scratcher: Why Does the Head of the Sea Turtle Natator depressus Resemble a Convex Zygomorphic Dodecahedron? [PDF]
AnimalsTwo convex polyhedra that markedly resemble the head of the flatback sea turtle hatchling are identified. The first example is a zygomorphic tetragonal dodecahedron, while the other, an even better matching structure, is a related tetradecahedron, herein

The forward problem of magnetometry for the oblate spheroid
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2011 We present analytical solution of the forward magnetometric problem for the oblate spheroid (rotational ellipsoid) as a causative body. The shorter semiaxis of the ellipsoid is supposed to be vertical to the surface of the earth.

Bibechana, 2014 The Sitnikov's problem is a special case of restricted three body problem if the primaries are of equal masses (m1 = m2 = 1/2) moving in circular orbits under Newtonian force of attraction and the third body of mass m3 moves along the line perpendicular

Electro-optic response of bipolar nematic liquid crystal confined in oblate spheroid
Frontiers in Soft Matter, 2022 Electro-optic response of liquid crystals (LCs) relies on the molecular reorientation of LCs under external electric field and is important for a wide spectrum of applications.

Pollen micromorphology of some species of Gagea in Iran and its taxonomic implication [PDF]
رستنیها, 2023 Pollen grains of eight species of Gagea were examined using Light Microscope (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Results showed that selected quantitative characters of pollen grains (polar axis, equatorial axis, P/E ratio, width of muri, lumina

Ultimate Image Singularities in Oblate Spheroidal Coordinates with Applications in Hydrodynamics
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 This study exploits the Touvia Miloh oblate spheroid theorem with a special focus on hydrodynamical applications. The theorem provides explicit relations that express the oblate spheroidal harmonics, given in terms of the fundamental solutions of the ...

Effects of shape on the optical properties of CdSe@Au core-shell nanocomposites
AIP Advances, 2023 We studied the local field enhancement factor (LFEF), absorption, and extinction cross sections of spherical, cylindrical, oblate, and prolate core–shell nanocomposites (NCs) theoretically and numerically using the quasi-static approach.
