Techniques to simulate hair in virtual humans focus on hair modeling, hair animation and hair rendering. We propose a system for modeling and animating in real time using standard OpenGL on commodity graphic cards. For styling, we propose a paint tool to determine a set of gray scale images that allow us to establish hair density and hair length values, as well as other useful parameters, and f...

From these results it seems that the presence of triangular hairs is on,! characteristic that contributes to a palpable coarseness of normal human hair. Triangular hairs are frequently seen in patients over the age of 2 years who have Hurler's syndrome or Sanfilippo syndrome. This finding is not claimed to have any diagnostic value. Should further studies reveal that triangular hairs are a univ...

[1] At river bifurcations, water and sediment are divided over two branches. The dynamics of the bifurcation determine the long-term evolution (centuries) of the downstream branches, potentially leading to avulsion, but the dynamics are poorly understood. The long-term evolution can only be studied by one-dimensional models because of computational costs. For such models, a relation describing ...

In this paper we consider both the dynamical and parameter planes for the complex exponential family Eλ(z) = λez where the parameter λ is complex. We show that there are infinitely many curves or “hairs” in the dynamical plane that contain points whose orbits underEλ tend to infinity and hence are in the Julia set. We also show that there are similar hairs in the λ-plane. In this case, the hair...

The little known genus Mimonemophas was erected by Breuning (1961) with M. quadrifasciatus Breuning as the type species, which was described based on a single male specimen from Vietnam. The genus Mimonemophas is similar to Anoplophora Hope in appearance but different from it by elytra densely clothed with thick bristle-like hairs on non-pubescent region, while in Anoplophora, the elytra glabro...

We show that our Universe lives in a topological and non-perturbative vacuum state full of large amount hidden quantum hairs, the hairons. will discuss elaborate on theoretical evidences hairs are related to gravitational winding number vacuo. Thus, hairons originated from degrees freedom, holographically stored de Sitter area. The hierarchy Planck scale over Cosmological Constant (CC) is under...

In this paper, we provide direct evidence of the importance of root hairs on pore structure development at the root-soil interface during the early stage of crop establishment. This was achieved by use of high-resolution (c. 5 μm) synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) to visualise both the structure of root hairs and the soil pore structure in plant-soil microcosms. Two contrasting g...

This report analyses the role of neuronal activity in shaping the axonal arborizations of sensory neurons from individually identified filiform hairs on the prosternum of locusts (Locusta migratoria), and their connections with a pair of identified interneurons (A4I1). Afferents from lateral filiform hairs terminate in the ipsilateral neuropil and connect only with the ipsilateral interneuron i...

IMPORTANCE Recent studies have reported "comma hairs" as a typical dermoscopic feature of tinea capitis observed at low magnification (×10). The aim of this study was to evaluate the dermoscopic aspects of tinea capitis at high magnification (×150) and its diagnostic role. OBSERVATIONS Five children (2 boys and 3 girls; aged 4-10 years) with multiple scaly patches of alopecia underwent scalp ...

Rhizobia preferentially enter legume root hairs via infection threads, after which root hairs undergo tip swelling, branching, and curling. However, the mechanisms underlying such root hair deformation are poorly understood. Here, we showed that a type II small GTPase, ROP10, of Medicago truncatula is localized at the plasma membrane (PM) of root hair tips to regulate root hair tip growth. Over...
