Abstract Background In the active shape model framework, principal component analysis (PCA) based statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely employed to incorporate high-level a priori shape knowledge of the structure to be segmented to achieve robustness.A crucial component of building SSMs is to establish shape correspondence between all training
Frictional resistance comprises more than 60% of the total resistance for most merchant ships.Active and passive devices have been used to reduce frictional resistance, but the most effective and practical device is rubbermaid 8 gallon trash can an air lubrication system.Such systems have been applied in several ships, and their effects have been v
The article taylor te400 deals with the stages of choosing organisational and technological solutions for the construction of buildings.Three approaches to choosing an optimum organisational and technological solution are presented, compared, and analysed.A chart is given for choosing the organisational and technological solution to erect a buildin
Landslides triggered by rainfall are one of the most frequent causes of disasters in tropical countries and mountainous terrains.Recent studies show an upsurge in landslide occurrence as an expected impact of human-induced climate change.This paper presents the analysis and implementation of two different physically-based models, SHALSTAB and TRIGR
How can inter-individual variability be quantified? Measuring many features per experiment raises the question of choosing them to recapitulate high-dimensional data.Tackling this challenge on spindle elongation phenotypes, we showed that only three typical elongation patterns describe spindle elongation in C.elegans one-cell embryo.These archetype
