Many meshes in computer animation practice are meant to approximate solid objects, but the provided triangular geometry is often unoriented, non-manifold or contains self-intersections, causing inside/outside of objects to be mathematically ill-defined. We describe a robust and efficient automatic approach to define and compute a signed distance field for arbitrary triangular geometry. Starting...

Three copper(I) dithiocarbamate–phosphine complexes of the general formula Cu(PPh3)2L were synthesized by metathesis reactions potassium salt dithiocarbamate ligand L and precursor complex Cu(PPh3)2NO3 in an equimolar ratio. represents N,N?-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)formamidine L1 1, N,N?-bis(2,6-disopropylphenyl) formamidine L2 2, N,N?-dimesitylformamidine L3 3. The single-crystal X-ray structure...

tip leakage loss introduces major part of losses of the rotor in axial gas turbines. therefore, the rotor blade tip has a considerable effect on rotor efficiency. to understand the flow physics of the rotor tip leakage, we solve the flow field for different tip platforms (passive flow control) and by considering coolant tip injection (active flow control). various blade tip configurations such ...

High-nuclearity Mn complexes have attracted significant scientific attention due to their fascinating magnetic properties and relevance bioinorganic systems catalysis. In this work, we demonstrate how the strong binding characteristics of phosphonate ligands can be coupled with sterically hindered carboxylate groups influence symmetry coordination clusters. We describe structure two high-nuclea...
