Spiral Architecture, a hexagonal image structure is a novel and powerful approach to machine vision system. The pixels on Spiral architecture are geometrically arranged using a 1D (Spiral) addressing scheme in an ascending order along a spiral-like curve. Spiral addition and Spiral multiplication are defined based on the Spiral addresses on Spiral Architecture. These two fundamental operations ...

OBJECTIVES The great arteries are in a non-spiral relationship in their transposition, even after arterial switch operation (ASO) with the Lecompte manoeuvre. We aim to restore the natural spiral great arteries and compare such ASO with conventional ASO with the Lecompte manoeuvre to clarify the functional implications of the spiral great arteries. METHODS The early survivors of ASO (n=130) w...

Abstract Understanding the magnetic connections from Sun to interplanetary space is crucial for linking in situ particle observations with solar source regions of particles. A simple connection along large-scale Parker spiral field made complex by turbulent random walk lines. In this paper, we present first analytical model heliospheric fields where dominant 2D component turbulence transverse s...

We present a study of the X-ray properties of the nearby face-on Scd spiral galaxy M101 based on recent XMM-Newton observations. In this third and final paper in the present series, we focus on the spatial and spectral properties of the residual emission, after excluding bright X-ray sources with L X > 10 37 erg s −1. Within a central region of radius 10 ′ (21 kpc), the X-ray emission broadly t...

The successful conjunction of the ultimate spatial resolution capability of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with the sensitivity to the spin of the tunneling electrons has opened the door to investigations of magnetism at the nanoscale where the fundamental interactions responsible for magnetic order can be studied. Spin-polarized (SP) STM allows insight into a fascinating world with su...

The electrodes of a cochlear implant are located far from the surviving neurons of the spiral ganglion, which results in decreased precision of neural activation compared to the normal ear. If the neurons could be induced to extend neurites toward the implant, it might be possible to stimulate more discrete subpopulations of neurons, and to increase the resolution of the device. However, a majo...

We describe the use of partially overlapping galaxies to provide direct measurements of the eeective absorption in galaxy disks, independent of assumptions about internal disk structure. The non-overlapping parts of the galaxies and symmetry considerations are used to reconstruct, via diierential photometry, how much background galaxy light is lost in passing through the foreground disks. Exten...

We provide an overview of the helical magnetic structures in microwires. Having analyzed experimental data describing behavior microwires since 1990s, we found indirect evidence existence various types structures. Purposeful research has allowed us to discover spiral structure as one most unusual A comparison with another type structure—elliptical—was carried out. In analysis, emphasis was plac...

Type II cochlear afferents receive glutamatergic synaptic excitation from outer hair cells (OHCs) in the rat cochlea. However, it remains uncertain whether this connection is capable of providing auditory information to the brain. The functional efficacy of this connection depends in part on the number of presynaptic OHCs, their probability of transmitter release, and the effective electrical d...
