A Folding Index of 2D Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new index is proposed for describing the degree of folding of a planar curve segment. Based on a basic concept from integral geometry, the Curve Folding Index (CFI) of a curve segment is defined to be the expected number of intersections that a random line has with the curve. The CFI provides a simple measure to characterize planar curves in terms of the degree of folding, and is shown to be invariant under the similitude transformations. We show by experiments that the CFI conforms to the intuitive perception of folding complexity.

Gas-liquid Relative Permeability Estimation in 2D Porous Media by Lattice Boltzmann Method: Low Viscosity Ratio 2D LBM Relative Permeability
This work is a primary achievement in studying the CO2 and N2–oil systems. To predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a Shan-Chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2D porous media is developed. Periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the Guo scheme for the external body force (i.e.,...

For each integer n, an n-folding curve is obtained by folding n times a strip of paper in two, possibly up or down, and unfolding it with right angles. Generalizing the usual notion of infinite folding curve, we define complete folding curves as the curves without endpoint which are unions of increasing sequences of n-folding curves for n integer. We prove that there exists a standard way to ex...
متن کاملSoft Folding
We introduce soft folding, a new interactive method for designing and exploring thin-plate forms. A user specifies sharp and soft folds as two-dimensional(2D) curves on a flat sheet, along with the fold magnitude and sharpness of each. Then, based on the soft folds, the system computes the three-dimensional(3D) folded shape. Internally, the system first computes a fold field, which defines loca...

Background: Male infertility has many causes, including genetic infertility. The NOP2/Sun domain family, member7 (Nsun7) gene, which encodes putative methyltransferase Nsun7, has a role in sperm motility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the T26248G polymorphism on Nsun7 protein function and its role in male infertility. Materials and Methods: Semen samples were col...
متن کاملStructure and stability of the N-terminal domain of the ribosomal protein L9: evidence for rapid two-state folding.
The N-terminal domain, residues 1-56, of the ribosomal protein L9 has been chemically synthesized. The isolated domain is monomeric as judged by analytical ultracentrifugation and concentration-dependent CD. Complete 1H chemical shift assignments were obtained using standard methods. 2D-NMR experiments show that the isolated domain adopts the same structure as seen in the full-length protein. I...
