The arguments of Cannon, Floyd, Grayson and Thurston [CFGT] showing that solvegeometry groups are not almost convex apply to solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups.

Figure 1: Distributions of the numbers of connections at varying distances are schematized in log-log coordinates. The straight line indicates power-law 1/f. Scale­free dynamics of neocortex are characterized by hierarchical self-similarities of patterns of synaptic connectivity and spatiotemporal neural activity, seen in power-law distributions of structural and functional parameters and in ra...

This paper proposes a deterministic importance sampling algorithm for complex integrands. The idea is based on the recognition that halftoning algorithms are equivalent to importance sampling if the gray-scale image and a resulting white pixel are considered as the target importance function and the sampling position, respectively. We adopt the Floyd-Steinberg halftoning algorithm, extend it to...

In many computer graphics applications we wish to augment virtual objects with images representing a real environment (sky, city, etc.). In order to provide the illusion that the virtual objects are parts of the real scene, the illumination of the environment should be taken into account when rendering the virtual objects [Debevec 98,Kollig and Keller 03]. Since the images representing the envi...

Networks can be represented as evolutionary graphs in a variety of spatio-temporal applications. Changes in the nodes and edges over time may also result in corresponding changes in structural garph properties such as shortest path distances. In this paper, we study the problem of detecting the top-k most significant shortest-path distance changes between two snapshots of an evolving graph. Whi...

Although the contribution of red muscle to sustained swimming in fish has been studied in detail in recent years, the role of pink myotomal muscle has not received attention. Pink myotomal muscle in the scup (Stenotomus chrysops) lies just medial to red muscle, has the same longitudinal fibre orientation and is recruited along with the red muscle during steady sustainable swimming. However, pin...

Flight muscles of the cricket Gryllus firmus are polymorphic, existing as pink or white phenotypes. White muscles are smaller in size, have reduced number and size of muscle fibers, and have reduced in vitro enzyme activities and respiration rates relative to pink muscles of newly molted, fully winged adults. G. firmus is also polymorphic for wing length. All newly molted long-winged adults exh...

Some observations are made about energy-time uncertainty and spin in the context of trajectories as in Faraggi-Matone or Floyd.
