Leaf Deformation Taking Into Account Fluid Flow

This paper proposes a method for animating leaf structural deformation considering the leaf water content and its change due to evaporation. To achieve this we embed a massspring system into a mesh representing the leaf, and couple the mass-spring parameters with a simulation representing the fluid flow and evaporation occurring in the leaf. This chain of events aims to simulate the natural pro...

Determination of surface composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy taking into account elastic photoelectron collisions.

It is now well known that elastic photoelectron scattering in the surface region of solids cannot be ignored in the mathematical formalism of quantitative XPS. Elastic collisions may increase or decrease the photoelectron signal intensity, depending on the experimental configuration. Consequently, it is advisable to take into account these effects in calculations of the surface composition. In ...
