Mesh Saliency Analysis via Local Curvature Entropy
We present a novel approach for estimating mesh saliency. Our method is fast, flexible, and easy to implement. By applying the well-known concept of Shannon entropy to 3D mesh data, we obtain an efficient method to determine mesh saliency. Comparing our method to the most recent, state-of-the-art approach, we show that results of at least similar quality can be achieved within a fraction of the...
متن کاملSelective ion-permeable membranes by insertion of biopores into polymersomes.
In nature there are various specific reactions for which highly selective detection or support is required to preserve their bio-specificity or/and functionality. In this respect, mimics of cell membranes and bio-compartments are essential for developing tailored applications in therapeutic diagnostics. Being inspired by nature, we present here biomimetic nanocompartments with ion-selective mem...
متن کاملNovel biomimetic polymersomes as polymer therapeutics for drug delivery.
Novel amphiphilic diblock copolymers, cholesterol-end-capped poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (CMPC), which have poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (poly(MPC)) as hydrophilic segment and cholesterol as hydrophobic segment, was specially designed as drug delivery systems. Fluorescence probe technique and transmission electron microscope (TEM) characterizations indicated...
متن کاملStable and robust polymer nanotubes stretched from polymersomes.
We create long polymer nanotubes by directly pulling on the membrane of polymersomes using either optical tweezers or a micropipette. The polymersomes are composed of amphiphilic diblock copolymers, and the nanotubes formed have an aqueous core connected to the aqueous interior of the polymersome. We stabilize the pulled nanotubes by subsequent chemical cross-linking. The cross-linked nanotubes...
متن کاملTutte polynomials of wheels via generating functions
We find an explicit expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. We also find a formula of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the Tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. Finally, we give an alternative expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.
