Targets and spirals have been observed in the CIMA/CDIMA system [13] and also in dilute flames (i.e. flames close to their lean flammability limits) in situations of enlianced heat loss [33]. In such systems, substantial fiiel is left unbumt. Spiral waves have also been implicated in the onset of cardiac arrhytlnnia [32] the nomial contractive events occurring across the atria in the mannnalian heart are, in some sense, equivalent to a wave pulse initiated from the sino-atrial node, which acts as a pacemaker. If this pulse becomes fragmented, perhaps by passing over a region of heart muscle tissue of lower excitability, then spiral structures (in 3D, these are scroll waves) or re-entrant waves may develop. These have the incorrect... 

Plate 4. A snapshot of the Hodgepodge CA. The Hodgepodge rule, introduced by Ger-hardt and Schuster [gerh89], is chareicterized by its self-org tnized spiral structures and is a crude model of a famous oscillating chemical reeiction-diffusion system called the Belousov-Zh botinskii reaction. See Chapter 8. 

Cylindrical batteries can be classified into two basic types one with a spiral structure, and one with an inside-out structure. The former consists of a thin, wound cathode and the lithium anode with a separator between them. The latter is constructed by pressing the cathode mixture into a high-density cylindrical form. Batteries with the spiral construction are suitable for high-rate drain, and those with the inside-out construction are suitable for high energy density. 

Poly(VPGVG) (Fig. 6) has been smdied most thoroughly and it was shown that it exhibits an inverse phase transition. The biopolymer undergoes phase separation from solution upon increasing temperature, resulting in a p-spiral structure and simultaneous release of water molecules associated with the polymer chain (Fig. 7).

The Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction is a typical oscillating chemical reaction. Spiral structures form periodically, disappear and reappear as the result of an autocatalytic reaction, the oxidation of Ce3+ and Mn2+ by bromate (lessen, 1978). 

In the CNS, myelin is formed by oligodendrocytes. This has many similarities but also points of difference with respect to myelination in the PNS. CNS nerve fibers are not separated by connective tissue nor are they surrounded by cell cytoplasm, and specific glial nuclei are not obviously associated with particular myelinated fibers. CNS myelin is a spiral structure similar to PNS myelin it has an inner mesaxon and an outer mesaxon that ends in a loop, or tongue, of glial cytoplasm (Fig. 4-3). Unlike peripheral nerve, where the sheath is surrounded by Schwann cell cytoplasm on the inside and outside (Fig. 4-10), the cytoplasmic tongue in the CNS is restricted to a small... 

Structure in solution Bombyx mori (Iizuka and Yang, 1966 Yao et al, 2004), MA, MI, FLAG, and CYL (Dicko et al., 2004b), Acinous and Pyriform (Fig. 8), Antheraea pemyi (Tsukada et al, 1994). The helix-like structure is loosely defined as a structure with a CD spectrum similar to myoglobin. /(-Spiral structure is defined as a super helical structure formed of straight sections and /(-turns.

These structures were recorded by a vectorial focal spot scanning in a spiral-by-spiral method rather in a raster layer-by-layer mode using a PZT stage. Such spiral structures fabricated in SU-8 have optical spot bands in near-lR [24], telecommunication [25], and 2-5 pm-IR region [26] or can be used as templates for Si infiltration [11]. It is obvious, that direct laser scanning is well suited for defect introduction into 3D PhC, as demonstrated in resin where a missing rod of a logpUe structure resulted in the appearance of a cavity mode in an optical transmission spectriun [27].

Helix. A spiral structure with a repeating pattern. 

Torsional braid analysis indicates that the —Si—O—Si— flexible chain is present and persists, although its flexibility is somewhat impaired, even when the material is fully cured. This indicates that there is a substantial proportion of the R—Si—O— units which are neither crosslinked nor involved in ring formation. However, a spiral structure with the hydroxyl groups enclosed along the core meets the requirements. Such a structure has been suggested by Birchall et al. [12] for silanol-terminated poly(oxymethylenes). 

Even when great care was taken to ensure that the liquid feed was introduced to the disc in an axisymmetric manner with the minimum disturbance, the smooth inner him always broke down into an array of spiral ripples, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. These spiral structures then broke down further until the wave pattern became utterly chaotic, provided that the disc was big enough. It is known that liquid him how over a surface is intrinsically unstable, and the phenomenon has been studied by several workers (3-7). It appears to be qualitatively equivalent to the breakdown of a smoke plume rising from a lighted cigarette, where a chaotic zone is generated about 20 cm above the source. The behavior can also be observed when a liquid him hows over a stationary surface such as a windowpane or a dam spillway. 

Helix-electrodes contact peripheral nerves on a small area due to their open structure. They consist of a silicone rubber substrate with one or two embedded platinum wire electrodes (Fig. 1). They were developed at the Huntington Medical Research Institute (HMRI) in a monopolar and a bipolar version [17]. The latest versions have been applied in paralyzed people at the sacral spinal roots for micturition control and incontinence. Their advantage can be seen in the self-sizing properties due to the spiral structures when the nerve is affected by edematous swelling after the implantation trauma.

Figure 1 Molecular model of a 12-base pair duplex of canonical B-form DNA. The two 12-mer strands that intertwine to form the duplex are colored separately (black and gray). Nucleic acid base pairs are stacked perpendicular to the helical axis at 3.4-A intervals (center-to-center distance), and the duplex helix repeats its spiral structure every 10 base pairs.
