Translation of polarity cues into asymmetric spindle positioning in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos

Asymmetric divisions are crucial for generating cell diversity; they rely on coupling between polarity cues and spindle positioning, but how this coupling is achieved is poorly understood. In one-cell stage Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, polarity cues set ...

Polarity controls forces governing asymmetric spindle positioning in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo

Pierre Gönczy

Cell divisions that create daughter cells of different sizes are crucial for the generation of cell diversity during animal development. In such asymmetric divisions, the mitotic spindle must be asymmetrically positioned at the end of anaphase. The mechani ...

Centrifuge modelling of contaminant transport processes

David Andrew Barry

Over the past decade, research workers have started to investigate problems of subsurface contaminant transport through physical modelling on a geotechnical centrifuge. A major advantage of this apparatus is its ability to model complex natural systems in ...

Finite elements in task-level animation

Daniel Thalmann

This paper addresses the problem of grasping rigid and deformable objects in a task-level animation system. After an introduction on task planning and grasping, it emphasizes the use of FEM for modelling both elastically and plastically deformations of obj ...

Centrifugal modelling of nonsorbing, nonequilibrium solute transport in a locally inhomogeneous soil

David Andrew Barry

This paper presents results of centrifugal modelling of physical nonequilibrium transport of nonsorbing solute in a locally inhomogeneous soil. Mathematical modelling of this class of transport process is restricted by the difficulties in determining the m ...

Simulation of object and human skin deformations in a grasping task

Daniel Thalmann

The problem of simulating deformations between objects and the hand of a synthetic character during a grasping process is addressed. A numerical method based on finite element theory allows one to take into account the active forces of the fingers on the o ...
