Animation feature

Ub Iwerks adapted xerography to eliminate the hand-inking stage in the animation process by transferring the animator s drawings directly to the cells. The first animated feature film to use this process was One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961). At first, only black lines were possible, but in the 1980s, colored lines were introduced and used in animated features such as The Secret of NIMH. 

Fig. 3 shows a robot navigation application. This was inspired by an installation of G2 at the Robotics Technology Group at the Savannah River Laboratory. The robots in the example seek the shortest path toward one of the "goals." The user can connect and disconnect the nodes of the example, and G2 will understand if the path exists between the nodes. The animation feature of G2 is used to move the robots during the scenario. The use of robots in a nuclear plant is primarily intended to avoid sending humans into hazardous environments. There are many examples in conventional chemical plants where a similar use of robots would be well justified. 

Model verification features consisting of expert diagnosis programs for debugging models. Output and system animation features to evaluate the logical consistency of a model. 

As the twenty-first century begins, new Bond projects loom on the horizon. This past year Pixar released its completely CGI version, 007, featuring the voice talents of Hugh Grant, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mike Myers, and Dennis Franz. The computer animation was superb, but the production is remarkable also for being the first R-rated animated feature film since Ralph Bakshi s Cool World. 

Additional features determine properties such as interatomic distances, bond angles, and dihedral angles from atomic coordinates. Animations of computed vibrational modes from quantum chemistry packages arc also included. http //fiourceforge.nei/projecl /j mol/... 

First, we consider the experimental aspects of osmometry. The semiperme-able membrane is the basis for an osmotic pressure experiment and is probably its most troublesome feature in practice. The membrane material must display the required selectivity in permeability-passing solvent and retaining solute-but a membrane that works for one system may not work for another. A wide variety of materials have been used as membranes, with cellophane, poly (vinyl alcohol), polyurethanes, and various animal membranes as typical examples. The membrane must be thin enough for the solvent to pass at a reasonable rate, yet sturdy enough to withstand the pressure difference which can be... 

Organisms evolving under aimual temperature cycles and in environments with varying temperatures spatially have incorporated thermal cues in reproductive behavior, habitat selection, and certain other features which act at the population level. Thus, the balance of births and mortaUties, which determines whether a species survives, is akin to the metaboHc balance at the physiological level in being dependent upon the match, within certain limits, to prescribed temperatures at different times of year. At the ecosystem level, relationships among species, eg, predators, competitors, prey animals, and plant foods, are related to environmental temperatures in complex ways. Many of these interactions are poorly understood. 

Sufficient numbers of control animals should be employed. The use of such controls allows a determination of normal values for features monitored ki the study and background kicidence of pathology ki the population studied detection of the onset of adverse conditions, eg, infection, which are unrelated to, and detrimental to, the conduct of the study and deviation of monitored features between controls and exposed animals, which may kidicate a treatmentrelated effect. 

All K channels are tetrameric molecules. There are two closely related varieties of subunits for K channels, those containing two membrane-spanning helices and those containing six. However, residues that build up the ion channel. Including the pore helix and the inner helix, show a strong sequence similarity among all K+ channels. Consequently, the structural features and the mechanism for ion selectivity and conductance described for the bacterial K+ channel in all probability also apply for K+ channels in plant and animal cells. 

Chromosomal organization, DNA replication, transcription, ribosome synthesis, and mitosis in plant cells are grossly similar to the analogous features in animals. 

In biology, extracellular matrix (ECM) is the extracellular part of animal tissue that usually provides structural support to the cells in addition to performing various other important functions. ECM is the defining feature of connective tissue in animals. ECM includes the interstitial matrix and the basement membrane.
