Purpose: To describe a new type of stent consisting of a 3-dimensional (3D) braided tube made of 2 interconnected layers without any covering to treat a renal artery aneurysm. ...
Via compression ([18,8]) we write the n-dimensional Chaplygin sphere system as an almost Hamiltonian system on T*SO (n) with internal symmetry group SO (n-1). We show how this symmetry group can be factored out, and pass to the fully reduced system on (a f ...
The growth of rubrene (C42H28, 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene) multilayer islands up to a thickness of six layers on a Au(111) surface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The molecules self-organize in parallel twin rows, forming mirr ...
In this paper, we focus on the use of random projections as a dimensionality reduction tool for sampled manifolds in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. We show that geodesic paths approximations from nearest neighbors Euclidean distances are well-preserved ...
We explore the use of PDE constrained nonlinear optimization techniques to optimize and design electromagnetic crystals which exhibit frozen mode behavior. This is characterized by Van Hove singularities in the dispersion relation, e.g., stationary reflect ...
Interfaces are important for many processes in chemistry, physics, and biology. Crucial to their properties are the details of the three-dimensional structure of the participating (macro)molecules. Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation (VSFG) is a tool spec ...
We present a multi-cue fusion method for tracking with particle filters which relies on a novel hierarchical sampling strategy. Similarly to previous works, it tackles the problem of tracking in a relatively high-dimensional state space by dividing such a ...
A generalized expectation maximization (GEM) algorithm is used to retrieve the pose of a person from a monocular video sequence shot with a moving camera. After embedding the set of possible poses in a low dimensional space using principal component analys ...
X-ray microtomography and three-dimensional (3D) image analysis are used to quantify the structural evolution during cold isostatic compaction of two irregularly shaped NaCl powders having different mean particle sizes (75 and 400 mu m) and somewhat differ ...
