In this report we extend the discrete 3D Laplacian framework to mesh animations, represented as temporally coherent sequences of meshes. In order to let the user control the motion in uence with respect to the geometry, we introduce a parameter for the time dimension. Our discrete 3D+t Laplace operator holds the same properties as the discrete 3D Laplacian, as soon as this parameter is non nega...

background & aim: effects of ultra violet spectrum on plants due to their obligatory requirement for sunlight for survival are unavoidable. direct effects of uv on plant growth and development are generally negative and usually they use many different defense mechanisms to acclimate and protect themselves. material & methods: the present research for the first time was conducted to inv...

Glycosaminoglycan synthesis and secretion by primate arterial smooth muscle have been examined in cell culture. Mass cultures of diploid primate arterial smooth muscle cells were either double labeled with [35S]sulfate and [3H]acetate or single labeled with [3H]glucosamine for 24 h and glycosaminoglycans were extracted and isolated from the culture medium. Incorporation of labeled precursors in...
