Indicator function space curve

The stress, a, on a solid as a function of the interatomic spacing, r, can be estimated from the interactions given in Section S4.1.7. A typical form for such a curve is sketched in Figure S4.7a. This can be understood as follows. The stress is zero at the equilibrium spacing, r . When the atoms are stretched, the stress will increase rapidly. In the case when the atoms are very far apart, there will be no interatomic force and thus the stress will become zero. This reasoning indicates that the curve must pass though a maximum, at some value This... 

Fig. 13a and b. Intensity contour maps around the 5.9-nm and 5.1-nm actin layer lines (indicated by arrows) a resting state b contracting state. Z is the reciprocal-space axial coordinate from the equator. M5 to M9 are myosin meridional reflections indexed to the fifth to ninth orders of a 42.9-nm repeat, (c) intensity profiles (in arbitrary units) of the 5.9- and 5.1-nm actin reflections. Dashed curves, resting state solid curves, contracting state. Intensity distributions were measured by scanning the intensity data perpendicular to the layer lines at intervals of 0.4 mm. The area of the peak above the background was adopted as an integrated intensity and plotted as a function of the reciprocal coordinate (R) from the meridian... 

The observation that bonds of all orders relate to the bonding diagram in equivalent fashion indicates that covalent bonds are conditioned by the geometry of space, rather than the geometry of electron fields, dictated by atomic orbitals or other density functions. The only special point related to electron density occurs at the junction of the attractive curves, where e = indicating that one pair of electrons mediate the covalent interaction. It is interpreted as the limiting length (dj) for first-order bonds. It is of interest to note that all known first-order bonds have d > d[. The covalence curve for the minimum ratio of x = 0.18 (for CsH) terminates at dl = d[. 

The refined curve has a refined basis, and needs a corresponding sequence of control points. In fact it is the process of finding these new control points which is actually called knot insertion or subdivision. If we ignore end-conditions, which is a sensible way to start, there are twice as many of them. We can determine them by looking at the way in which a coarse basis function can be expressed in terms of the refined ones. Let the coarse basis be and the finer one 5"(t) where the subscripts r indicate the position in abscissa space of the central maximum4 of the particular basis function, and the superscript n the degree of the functions. Consider first B-splines of degree zero.

The calculated second moment M2 for the model structures of trans-Vk (Table 6,1) as a function of the setting angle [22], The long broken curve, 4 Akaishi et al [41] the dashed-dot, 5-1 and the dotted curves, 5-2 Lieser et al [45,46] the broken curve, 3 Baughman et al [39,40] the solid curve, 1 Shimamura et al [42] and Fincher et al [43] and the dashed-three dots, 2 Kahlert et al [48], Data is not shown, but note that M2 is insensitive to the change of the angle /i. All the calculations were made for the Pl ja space group, except for the curve 1, where the / 2,/6 space group is also calculated. The hatched area indicates the expected range of the experimental value of M2 for Irans-PA.
