We present a geometric surface parameterization algorithm and several visualization techniques adapted to the problem of understanding the 4D peristaltic-like motion of the outflow tract (OFT) in an embryonic chick heart. We illustrated the techniques using data from hearts under normal conditions (four embryos), and hearts in which blood flow conditions are altered through OFT banding (four em...

plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory (oft) periodic slab calculations were performed usingthe giteralized gradient approximation (gha) to investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide(no) on the (i ii)surface of cu. copper rface was stimulated using th p 'odic slab method consisting of five atomic layers.four different adsorption saes (atop. bridge, rcp hollow, and fcc hollow) were...
