Taylor & Francis Ltd Six Simple Twists
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Six Simple Twists: The Pleat Pattern Approach to Origami Tessellation Design introduces an innovative pleat pattern technique for origami designs that is easily accessible to anyone who enjoys the geometry of paper. The book begins with six basic forms meant to ease the reader into the style, and then systematically scaffolds the instructions to build a strong understanding of the techniques, leading to instructions on a limitless number of patterns. It then describes a process of designing additional building blocks. At the end, what emerges is a fascinating artform that will enrich folders for many years. Unlike standard, project-based origami books, Six Simple Twists focuses on how to design, rather than construct. In this thoroughly updated second edition, the book explores new techniques and example tessellations, with full-page images, and mathematical analysis of the patterns. A reader will, through practice, gain the abiTrade Review"The second edition of Six Simple Twists is a marvelous expansion of the original; like the first edition it provides an introduction to the vast, wide world of origami twist tessellations, with a focus on those based on a hexagonal grid. Through copious and detailed photographs, he shows not just the structure, but how individual folds are actuated, and then how they may be combined in beautiful ways. An expanded selection of photographs of works by worldwide artists provides both inspiration and challenge for the budding tessellator and experienced artist alike."– Robert Lang, author of Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art"In this wonderfully expanded new edition, Ben Parker not only describes the basic elements composing his intricate pleated paper artworks, he also unlocks their secrets and logic and teaches their molecules and several examples in a clear format, allowing the reader to create new folded patterns, through both practical and technical approaches!"– Alessandro Beber, author of Origami New Worlds"This new edition of Six Simple Twists is a tremendous expansion of the first edition. Through the thorough investigation of the foundational elements of origami tessellation, Ben has laid the groundwork for understanding design and application of geometry in paper. The second edition expands and refines the insights of the first with copious illustrations and examples, clear definitions and thought provoking exercises. For anyone fascinated by the geometry of origami, or even curious about place of origami in the field of geometry, this edition is absolutely necessary."– Joel Cooper, Origami artist"Ben's second edition is full to the brim with new and exciting insights into the craft and mechanisms of origami tessellations, extending the first edition by a couple hundred pages. He provides extensive explanations and deep insights into the maths behind the scenes and accompanies it with a plethora of projects for you to fold at home."– Peter Keller, Origami artist"As soon as we open the pages of this book, Benjamin DiLeonardo-Parker’s enthusiasm for the design and creation of origami tessellations is clear. The author reveals the patterns that can be formed by paper pleats and their combinations and demonstrates how by folding paper in different configurations the beautiful structures known as origami tessellations can be constructed. The author explains to his readers how to fold tessellations and encourages them to apply their learning to explore the subject to generate their own folding techniques and create their own designs, offering case studies to experiment with. The book is generously supplied with photographs and diagrams illustrating each step of the techniques, and a comprehensive glossary is provided. The author’s creativity and attention to detail are a delight. This second edition is a greatly expanded version of its predecessor [1], benefiting from more instruction in basic skills and pleat manipulation methods, enhanced illustration of the processes, a greater range of demonstrated patterns, an improved notation system, and further mathematical analysis of the behaviour of twists.[. . .] The thorough, detailed, methodical treatment of this subject will surely inspire readers of this book to try out the techniques for themselves, and to embark upon creating many of the tessellations described here, and, with experience gained, even attempting their own tessellation designs. I certainly feel encouraged to reach for some paper and get folding."– Dorothy Leddy, London Mathematical SocietyTable of ContentsPart I1.00 - Why Study Pleat Patterns?1.01 - Basics and Preparation1.02 - How Pleat Patterns Differ from Traditional Origami1.03 - How to Read the Diagrams and Fold Parity1.04 - Folding Uniform Parallel Creases1.05 - Grid Axes and How to Fold a Hexagon1.06 - How to Fold a Triangle Grid1.07 - Simple Pleat1.08 - The Six Simple Twists1.09 - Triangle Twist1.10 - Triangle Spread1.11 - Hex Twist1.12 - Hex Spread1.13 - Rhombic Twist1.14 - Arrow Twist1.15 - Anatomy of a Molecule1.16 - Pleat Intersection NotationPart II2.00 - How to Use the Six Simple Twists2.01 - 32nd’s Grid2.02 - Locking and Unlocking Pleats2.03 - Triangle Twist Tessellation2.04 - 3.6.3.6 Tessellation2.05 - Tessellation Basics2.06 - Applying Tessellation Knowledge Folding2.07 - Triangle Weave Tessellation2.08 - 3.6.3.6 Weave Tessellation2.09 - 6.6.6 Hexagonal Failing Cluster2.10 - Modifications2.11 - Backtwisting2.12 - Twist Handedness and Pleat Symmetry2.13 - Pleat Flattening2.14 - Triangle Twist Tessellation with Flattened Pleats2.15 - Hidden Circles Pattern2.16 - Rhombic Twist Tessellation2.17 - Rhombic Twist Variants2.18 - Twist Sinking2.19 - Twist Expansion2.20 - Nub Offset Tessellation2.21 - Shift Rosette Tessellation2.22 - Ridge Creation2.23 - Button Molecule 2.24 - Button Molecule Tessellation2.25 - Triangle Flagstone Tessellation and Offsetting Pleats2.26 - 3.6.3.6 Flagstone Tessellation2.27 - Crooked Split2.28 - Snowflake Tessellation2.29 - Tulip Split2.30 - Tulip Split Tessellation2.31 - Molecule Size and Different Grid Densities2.32 - “Front” and “Back” Sides2.33 - Tendril Tessellation2.34 - Inverting a Pleat2.35 - Iso-Area Triangle Twist Tessellation2.36. - Pleat Pushing2.37 - Platform Tess2.38 - Triple Twist TessPart III3.00 - Pleat Patterns as Artwork3.01 - Gallery3.02 - Pleat-to-Molecule Analysis3.03 - Twist Archetype Sets3.04 - Molecule Database3.05 - Archetype Composition3.06 - Actions and Notation3.07 - Splitting Equation3.08 - Normal Polygon Models3.09 - Circle Cutout Model3.10 - Molecule-to-Pleat Analysis3.11 - Sectioning Model of Perfect Twist Design3.12 - Brocard PointsFinal thoughtsPleat Notation Thoughts By Matthew BenetGlossary

Cambridge University Press Mathematical Aspects of HodgkinHuxley Neural Theory 7 Cambridge Studies in Mathematical Biology Series Number 7
Book SynopsisThis book is an introduction to the study of mathematical models of electrically active cells, which play an essential role in, for example, nerve conduction and cardiac functions. This is an important and vigorously researched field. In the book, Dr Cronin synthesizes and reviews this material and provides a detailed discussion of the Hodgkin-Huxley model for nerve conduction, which forms the cornerstone of this body of work. Her treatment includes a derivation of the Hodgkin-Huxley model, which is a system of four nonlinear differential equations; a discussion of the validity of this model; and a summary of some of the mathematical analysis carried out on this model. Special emphasis is placed on singular perturbation theory, and arguments, both mathematical and physiological, for using the perturbation viewpoint are presented.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Cambridge University Press The Atmospheric Boundary Layer Cambridge Atmospheric and Space Science Series
Book SynopsisThe book gives a comprehensive and lucid account of the science of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). There is an emphasis on the application of the ABL to numerical modelling of the climate. The book comprises nine chapters, several appendices (data tables, information sources, physical constants) and an extensive reference list. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction, with chapters 2 and 3 dealing with the development of mean and turbulence equations, and the many scaling laws and theories that are the cornerstone of any serious ABL treatment. Modelling of the ABL is crucially dependent for its realism on the surface boundary conditions, and chapters 4 and 5 deal with aerodynamic and energy considerations, with attention to both dry and wet land surfaces and sea. The structure of the clear-sky, thermally stratified ABL is treated in chapter 6, including the convective and stable cases over homogeneous land, the marine ABL and the internal boundary layer at the coastline. Chapter 7 thTrade Review'An excellent review of the current state of affairs on boundary-layer meteorology research.'

Cambridge University Press Mathematical Models in Biology An Introduction
Book SynopsisThis introductory textbook on mathematical biology focuses on discrete models across a variety of biological subdisciplines. Biological topics treated include linear and non-linear models of populations, Markov models of molecular evolution, phylogenetic tree construction, genetics, and infectious disease models. The coverage of models of molecular evolution and phylogenetic tree construction from DNA sequence data is unique among books at this level. Computer investigations with MATLAB are incorporated throughout, in both exercises and more extensive projects, to give readers hands-on experience with the mathematical models developed. MATLAB programs accompany the text. Mathematical tools, such as matrix algebra, eigenvector analysis, and basic probability, are motivated by biological models and given self-contained developments, so that mathematical prerequisites are minimal.Trade Review'… many institutions, like mine, are looking into ways of adding a mathematical modeling component into the undergraduate curriculum for general biology students. This book will be a great asset to these institutions … a very interesting and challenging book for undergraduate students with a strong interest in biology …'.
