Circumscribed sphere of a convex polyhedron
Suppose that K is a convex polyhedron in the n-dimensional Euclidean space R. Suppose that the extreme points of K are P1, P2, . . . , Pm ( m ≥ n + 1). If P is an arbitrary interior point of K, then there exist vertices Pi1 , Pi2 , . . . , Pin+1 of K and a point Q of R n and a positive number r > 0 for which ||Pik − Q|| = r for 1 ≤ k ≤ n + 1 , ||Pj − Q|| ≤ r for 1 ≤ j ≤ m and P is an interior p...
متن کاملCutting a Convex Polyhedron Out of a Sphere
Given a convex polyhedron P of n vertices inside a sphere Q, we give an O(n)-time algorithm that cuts P out of Q by using guillotine cuts and has cutting cost O(log n) times the optimal.
متن کاملFormation of Well-Defined, Functional Nanotubes via Osmotically Induced Shape Transformation of Biodegradable Polymersomes
Polymersomes are robust, versatile nanostructures that can be tailored by varying the chemical structure of copolymeric building blocks, giving control over their size, shape, surface chemistry, and membrane permeability. In particular, the generation of nonspherical nanostructures has attracted much attention recently, as it has been demonstrated that shape affects function in a biomedical con...
متن کاملFrom sphere to polyhedron: A hypothesis on the formation of high-index surfaces in nanocrystals
The morphology of tetrahexahedral nanocrystals could be understood on the basis of a hypothesis that the atoms or molecules on or near spherical surfaces can migrate till reaching their equilibrium positions. Such migration of atoms/molecules is shown to be closely related to the formation of high-index surfaces in nanopolyhedrons. On account of this hypothesis, a theoretical calculation about ...
متن کاملPolymersomes.
Polymersomes are self-assembled polymer shells composed of block copolymer amphiphiles. These synthetic amphiphiles have amphiphilicity similar to lipids, but they have much larger molecular weights, so for this reason--along with others reviewed here--comparisons of polymersomes with viral capsids composed of large polypeptide chains are highly appropriate. We summarize the wide range of polym...
