A temperature-sensitive mutant homozygous for the recessive gene molb in Tetrahymena thermophila offers opportunity for studying the direction of microtubule assembly in vivo. At 39 degrees C the mutant fails to divide properly; the 2 daughter animals remain attached and bend over each other. As revealed by protargol staining, the bending results in acute turning and breaking of some of the lon...

This paper presents a general refinement procedure that enhances any given depth map obtained by passive or active sensing. Given a depth map, either estimated by triangulation methods or directly provided by the sensing system, and its corresponding 2-D image, we correct the depth values by separately treating regions with undesired effects such as empty holes, texture copying or edge blurring...

Data depth functions are a generalization of one-dimensional order statistics and medians to real spaces of dimension greater than one; in particular, a data depth function quantifies the centrality of a point with respect to a data set or a probability distribution. One of the most commonly studied data depth functions is halfspace depth. It is of interest to computational geometers because it...

light is never being distributed homogeneously and it forms a gradient over biomass. the unidirectional nature of light gives rise to a vertical gradient of light intensity as a function of depth. the maximum depth of the light zone suitable for phytoplankton photosynthesis is designated as the euphotic depth. this study was designed to test the hypothesis of mixing depth of phytoplankton and i...
