A Hopf texture is a vacuum field configuration of isovector fields which is an onto map from the space as a large three sphere to the vacuum manifold S. We construct a Hopf texture with spherically symmetric energy density and discuss the topological charge. A Hopf texture collapses, and we study the collapse process numerically. In our simulations, it is clear that a Hopf texture does not deca...

Research on temporal textures has concerned mainly modeling, synthesis and detection, but not finding changes between different temporal textures. Shot change detection, based on appearance, has received much research attention, but detection of changes between temporal textures has not been addressed sufficiently. Successive temporal textures in a video often have a similar appearance but diff...

DNA undergoes condensation, conformational transitions, aggregation and resolubilization in the presence of polyamines, positively charged organic molecules present in all cells. Under carefully controlled environmental conditions, DNA can also transform to a liquid crystalline state in vitro. We undertook the present work to examine the ability of spermidine, N4-methylspermidine, spermine, N1-...
