A point-line refers to a rigid combination of a directed line and an endpoint along the line. To trace a point-line trajectory, one must control not only the trajectory of the endpoint (the directrix) but also the direction of the point-line (the indicatrix). This paper addresses three issues on point-line trajectories. First of all, by considering the relationship between the point trajectory and the corresponding point-line direction, it offers the complete characterization of point-line trajectories. It presents the coordination of the point-line axis with a free point trajectory and also with a point trajectory constrained on a free form surface. The issue of maintaining an invariant orientation relationship between the point-line axis and the point trajectory is also addressed.

Line Direction

A point-line refers to the combination of a directed line with an endpoint along the line. To trace a point-line trajectory, one must control not only the trajectory of the endpoint but also the direction of the point-line. This paper examines point-line trajectories by regarding a point-line trajectory as the combination of the endpoint trajectory referred to as the directrix and the trajectory of a unit vector in the point-line direction referred to as the indicatrix. A point-line trajectory is therefore characterized by the characteristics of the directrix, indicatrix, and the relationship between them. The paper presents (1) the characteristic numbers to characterize a point-line trajectory, especially the relationship between the directrix and indicatrix; (2) concepts of velocity at the striction point, the shifting velocity along the striction curve, and the shifting speed along the point-line; (3) The visualization of a point-line motion up to the second order; (4) the coordination of the indicatrix and directrix. An example is given to demonstrate the orientation control of the point-line with respect to the point trajectory.

The Brain

The mammalian brain and skull develop concurrently in a coordinated manner, consistently producing a brain and skull that fit tightly together. It is common that abnormalities in one are associated with related abnormalities in the other. However, this is not always the case. A complete characterization of the relationship between brain and skull phenotypes is necessary to understand the mechanisms that cause them to be coordinated or divergent and to provide perspective on the potential diagnostic or prognostic significance of brain and skull phenotypes. We demonstrate the combined use of magnetic resonance imaging and microcomputed tomography for analysis of brain and skull phenotypes in the mouse. Co-registration of brain and skull images allows comparison of the relationship between phenotypes in the brain and those in the skull. We observe a close fit between the brain and skull of two genetic mouse models that both show abnormal brain and skull phenotypes. Application of these three-dimensional image analyses in a broader range of mouse mutants will provide a map of the relationships between brain and skull phenotypes generally and allow characterization of patterns of similarities and differences.

Abstract We calculate the splitting type of holomorphic vector bundles on the Riemann sphere induced by a Fuchsian system of differential equations. Using this technique, we indicate the relationship between Hölder continuous matrix functions and a moduli space of vector bundles on the Riemann sphere. For second order systems with three singular points we give a complete characterization of the corresponding vector bundles by the invariants of Fuchsian system.

In this paper, anodic oxidation of sulphite ions on skeletal nickel based platinum nanoparticles electrode (6 layers) in aqueous alkaline solution was investigated in order to find the relationship between kinetic parameters and sulphite concentration. The purpose of this research is both to understand the oxidation mechanism and determine optimal parameters for oxidation process. Electrochemical behavior of sulphite ions has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear polarization. Tafel method was used in order to determine kinetic parameters and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies were performed to confirm the oxidation mechanism. For a complete characterization of sulphite electrooxidation process chrono-electrochemical methods (chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, chronocoulometry) were used.

The optical character of an optical system is changed if the system is reversed.  This is as true of eyes as it is of telescopes.  In vision light traverses the eye from cornea to retina; in ophthalmoscopy the practitioner views the retina via light traversing the eye in the reverse direction.  The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship of the optical character of the reversed system to that of the system itself. The result is in terms of the ray transference of the system.  Since the ray transference gives a complete characterization of the first-order optics of a system the analysis is complete in this sense as well.  Explicit expressions are also presented for the effect of reversal on the six fundamental first-order optical properties of the system.

Insight Into

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Lower Contact

Considerable amount of work has been done in studying the relationship between the contact resistance and the microstructure of the Au-Ge-Ni based ohmic contacts to n-GaAs. It has been found that the lower contact resistivity is due to the presence of Ge rich and Au free regions (good contact area) in contact with GaAs. Thus in order to obtain an ohmic contact with lower contact resistance one should obtain a uniformly alloyed region of good contact areas almost everywhere. This can possibly be accomplished by utilizing various alloying schemes. In this work microstructural characterization, employing TEM techniques, of the sequentially deposited Au-Ge-Ni based ohmic contact to the MODFET device is presented.The substrate used in the present work consists of 1 μm thick buffer layer of GaAs grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate followed by a 25 Å spacer layer of undoped AlGaAs.

Abstract Unidirectional cord-rubber specimens in the form of tensile coupons and sandwich beams were used. Using specimens with the cords oriented at 0°, 45°, and 90° to the loading direction and appropriate data reduction, we were able to obtain complete characterization for the in-plane stress-strain response of single-ply, unidirectional cord-rubber composites. All strains were measured by means of liquid mercury strain gages, for which the nonlinear strain response characteristic was obtained by calibration. Stress-strain data were obtained for the cases of both cord tension and cord compression. Materials investigated were aramid-rubber, polyester-rubber, and steel-rubber.
