AIM To describe unique linear deposits on the surface of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) occurring after implantation through a hexagonal cartridge. METHODS Five ACR6D SE IOLs (Corneal Laboratories, Pringy, France) were injected/implanted through hexagonal cartridges. Two of these were injected into a petri dish and the remaining three were inserted into the evacuated capsular bag...

An important optimization problem in the design of cellular networks is to assign sets of frequencies to transmitters to avoid unacceptable interference. A cellular network is generally modeled as a subgraph of the infinite triangular lattice. The distributed frequency assignment problem can be abstracted as a multicoloring problem on a weighted hexagonal graph, where the weight vector represen...

The hexagonal zinc oxide coated nickel (Ni/ZnO) nanostructure photocatalyst has successfully been prepared by the reduction of nickel chloride hexahydrate using hydrazine hydrate through the solvothermal process at 140 °C followed by surface modification of the product by the reflux method at 110 °C for 1 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that the 'as prepared' sample consists of fa...

Memory is attributed to strengthened synaptic connections among particular brain neurons, yet synaptic membrane components are transient, whereas memories can endure. This suggests synaptic information is encoded and 'hard-wired' elsewhere, e.g. at molecular levels within the post-synaptic neuron. In long-term potentiation (LTP), a cellular and molecular model for memory, post-synaptic calcium ...

The growth evolution of hexagonal GaN pyramids are investigated under various growth conditions. The hexagonal GaN pyramids were grown by hot-wall metal organic chemical vapor deposition – process (hot-wall MOCVD) on a (0001) oriented GaN template. We concluded the growth of the hexagonal GaN pyramids can be divided into two different regimes defined by the adsorption kinetics of the {1101} sur...

We propose a graphics processor unit (GPU)-accelerated method for real-time computing and rendering cellular automata (CA) that is applied to hexagonal grids. Based on our previous work [9] –which introduced first and second dimensional cases– this paper presents a model for hexagonal grid algorithms. Proposed method is novel and it encodes and transmits large CA key-codes to the graphics card ...

The (0001) surface of a-Mo2C prepared by Ar ion bombardment and annealing was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). An ion-bombarded surface annealed to 1000 K exhibits an Mo/C ratio of 2.2, characteristic of an Mo-terminated surface. The Mo-terminated surface exhibits a complex, but predominantly ‘(1×1)’ hexagonal LEED pattern on a dif...
