Direct and inverse scattering problem for an operator with non-local potential is solved in the paper. The method based on Riemann boundary value a bundle of three straight lines. Description data given.

Pose estimation, which determines the position and the attitude of the camera, is a prerequisite for a variety of photogrammetric tasks such as image matching, surface reconstruction, ortho-photo generation, and object recognition. As digital imagery is becoming more popular in photogrammetric applications, features other than points are increasingly employed in pose estimation. For frame image...

Consider a bundle of circles passing through 0 in 4-dimensional space. It is said to be rectifiable if there is a germ of diffeomorphism at 0 that takes all circles from our bundle to straight lines. We will give a classification of all rectifiable bundles of circles containing sufficiently many circles in general position. This result is surprisingly different from those in dimensions 2 and 3 ...

One of the most spectacular motions is the generation of the acrosomal process in the limulus sperm. On contact with the egg, the sperm generates a 60-mum-long process that literally drills its way through the jelly surrounding the egg. This irresversible reaction takes only a few seconds. We suggested earlier that this motion is driven by a change in twist of the actin filaments comprising the...

E. coli bacteria swim following a run and tumble pattern. In the run state all flagella join in a single helical bundle that propels the cell body along approximately straight paths. When one or more flagellar motors reverse direction the bundle unwinds and the cell randomizes its orientation. This basic picture represents an idealization of a much more complex dynamical problem. Although it ha...

Linear array CCD based panoramic cameras are being used for measurement applications. The elegant image acquisition mode and the high information content of those images make them suitable candidates for quantitative image analysis. For accurate measurements a sophisticated camera calibration is an important prerequisite. In our previous investigations we designed a sensor model for linear arra...

Lewis (1925) stated that delay in the passage of the impulse down a bundle branch could alter materially the form of the electrocardiogram. Wilson (1940) defined incomplete bundle branch block as due to a conduction defect that merely retards the passage of the impulse through one of the main bundle branches, and stated that it gives rise to electrocardiograms which are " transitional, both as ...

In this work are considered some questions of Monte-Carlo modeling on nontrivial bundles. As a basic example is used problem of generation of straight lines in 3D space, related with modeling of interaction of a solid body with a flux of particles and with some other tasks. Space of lines used in given model is example of nontrivial fiber bundle, that is equivalent with tangent sheaf of a sphere.
