Cross-sectional models of the blue barbs are created based on SEM and TEM observations and are characterized on the basis of the radial sizes and the arrangements of air-pores. Large-scale finite element method is employed in order to investigate reflective properties of a blue feather barb. Measured and computed results show good agreement in the visible wavelength range, when we take into account optical absorption of keratin.","PeriodicalId":43563,"journal":{"name":"Forma-Revista d Estudis Comparatius Art Literatura Pensament","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70592908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study were to understand the hyperspace through the physics in the space and to bring the analytical solution of fluid flow in hyperspace for numerical simulation. The equations were obtained from the n-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation assuming the low Reynolds number flow. These were generalized formulae from a 3-dimensional system to an n-dimensional one. Our results show that the effect of the hyperspherical obstacle on the uniform flow is localized in higher dimensional spaces. We visualized the flow using the collections of hypersections.","PeriodicalId":43563,"journal":{"name":"Forma-Revista d Estudis Comparatius Art Literatura Pensament","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70593266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonlinearity was observed in the biological signal when the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filtering was 0.2 Hz or less, and while the body sway was 0.5 Hz or less, and was considered as a stochastic differential equations.","PeriodicalId":43563,"journal":{"name":"Forma-Revista d Estudis Comparatius Art Literatura Pensament","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70593282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
