There was a time when a mum-to-be might conceal her figure in baggy clothes to try and disguise her ever expanding shape.
A passive, slow return of the bell to its expanded shape is effected largely by the elasticity of the mesoglea layer, which crumples during the propulsive contraction.
A polyhedral model that precisely approximates the part shape is given as input, and the offset shape of the model is obtained as the Boolean union of the expanded shapes of all surface triangles.
This paper describes a new design and fabrication concept that each gore forms three-dimensional expanded shape with a small circumferential radius without elongation of the film by pressure.
The expanded shape of a flexible polymer in solution is a key reason for the high viscosity of "unfolded" polymer solutions.
The former distinguishes between the smooth, unimodal distribution of a recently expanded population shaped by the accumulation of mutations with minimal lineage loss and the "ragged", multimodal distributions shaped by mutations in equilibrium with stochastic lineage loss [ 36- 38].
The speechwriter listens, carefully and often, and then expands and shapes all the pieces that are, for the most part, already there.
As the world's strongest economic and military power, the United States has a compelling interest in helping to expand and shape international law on matters from arms control to the environment to criminal accountability.
The fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) have been around for generations, and will continue to grow, expand, and shape our world and future in the years to come.
Disk Flower: 3--many, generally bisexual, sometimes staminate (ovary vestigial, style branches remaining erect or style unbranched, tip expanded, tack-shaped); corolla <= 2.5 mm, +- pale yellow, tube < throat, lobes short-triangular; anther tip acute-ovate to awl-shaped; style tips flat, truncate, hair-fringed.
