Clock Draw

Cell Timer/Cell Clock

Like the biological clock in the body, replication of each cell type (even different cells of the same organism) follows a timing program. Abnormal function of this timer could be an alarm for a disease like cancer. DNA replication starts from a specific point on the chromosome that is called the origin of replication. In contrast to prokaryotes in which DNA replication starts from a single ...

Fiber draw synthesis

The synthesis of a high-melting temperature semiconductor in a low-temperature fiber drawing process is demonstrated, substantially expanding the set of materials that can be incorporated into fibers. Reagents in the solid state are arranged in proximate domains within a fiber preform. The preform is fluidized at elevated temperatures and drawn into fiber, reducing the lateral dimensions and br...

How to Draw Tropical Planes

The tropical Grassmannian parameterizes tropicalizations of ordinary linear spaces, while the Dressian parameterizes all tropical linear spaces in TP. We study these parameter spaces and we compute them explicitly for n ≤ 7. Planes are identified with matroid subdivisions and with arrangements of trees. These representations are then used to draw pictures.

How to Draw a Planarization

In this thesis we study the problem of computing a straight-line representation of a planarization with a fixed combinatorial structure. By the results of Mnëv [Mnë88] and Shor [Sho91] this problem is as hard as the Existential Theory of the Reals (∃R-Complete). We present a heuristic called Geometric Planarization Drawing to compute a straight-line representation of a planarization. We take an...
