We present an approach for elastic secondary deformations of shapes described as triangular meshes. The deformations are steered by the simulation of a low number of simple mass-spring sets. The result of this simulation is used to define time-dependent divergence-free vector fields whose numerical path line integration gives the new location of each vertex. This way the deformation is guarante...

We describe methods and results of simulations done for predicting behavior of particles in an aqueous solution under an applied AC electric field on electrodes of rectangular and triangular shapes. Here the two major effects which come into play are Dielectrophoresis and AC electroosmosis. Two simulations have been presented, one for rectangular and one for triangular shaped electrodes. Both t...

We present an overview and first results from a $M$-band spectroscopic survey of planet-forming disks performed with iSHELL on IRTF, using two slits that provide resolving power R $\approx$ 60,000-92,000 (5-3.3 km/s). provides nearly complete coverage at 4.52-5.24 $\mu$m in one shot, covering $>50$ lines the P branches $^{12}$CO $^{13}$CO for each multiple vibrational levels, providing unpreced...

In this paper, a modified algorithm for object segmentation of binary images is presented, and denoted as 2D modified chain code algorithm. The 2D modified chain code algorithm can be applied to color images after being binarized. The segmented object is used to derive the chain code in the image. The definition of the 2Dmodified chain code algorithm is valid for shapes composed of triangular, ...

We consider pressure-driven, steady-state Poiseuille flow in straight channels with various cross-sectional shapes: elliptic, rectangular, triangular, and harmonic-perturbed circles. A given shape is characterized by its perimeter P and area A which are combined into the dimensionless compactness number C= P2/A, while the hydraulic resistance is characterized by the well-known dimensionless geo...

The percolation aspect of random sequential adsorption of extended objects on a triangular lattice is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The depositing objects are formed by self-avoiding lattice steps on the lattice. Jamming coverage θ{jam}, percolation threshold θ{p}, and their ratio θ{p}/θ{jam} are determined for objects of various shapes and sizes. We find that the percolation thr...

A time-domain solver using an immersed boundary method is investigated for simulating sound propagation over porous and rigid barriers of arbitrary shapes. In this study, acoustic propagation in the air from an impulse source over the ground is considered as a model problem. The linearized Euler equations are solved for sound propagation in the air and the Zwikker-Kosten equations for propagati...

The failure of shape constancy from stereoscopic information is widely reported in the literature. In this study we investigate how shape constancy is influenced by the size of the object and by the shape of the object's surface. Participants performed a shape-judgment task on objects of five sizes with three different surface shapes. The shapes used were: a frontoparallel rectangle, a triangul...

Wulff constructions are a powerful tool to predict the shape of nanoparticles, which strongly influences their performance in catalysis, sensing, and surface-enhanced spectroscopies. Previous Wulff models focused on energy minimization and included contributions from the surface energy, interface energy, twin boundaries, and segregation-induced bulk energy changes. However, a large number of sh...
