An empirical study on optic disc segmentation using an active contour model

The accurate segmentation of the optic disc (OD) offers an important cue to extract other retinal features in an automated diagnostic system, which in turn will assist ophthalmologists to track many retinopathy conditions such as glaucoma. Research contributions regarding the OD segmentation is on…

Signalling pathway database usability: lessons learned

BACKGROUND: issues and limitations related to accessibility, understandability and ease of use of signalling pathway databases may hamper or divert research workflow, leading, in the worst case, to the generation of confusing reference frameworks and misinterpretation of experimental results. In an…

A Fractional-in-Time Prey-Predator Model with Hunting Cooperation: Qualitative Analysis, Stability and Numerical Approximations

A prey-predator system with logistic growth of prey and hunting cooperation of predators is studied. The introduction of fractional time derivatives and the related persistent memory strongly characterize the model behavior, as many dynamical systems in the applied sciences are well described by…

Generalized Lattice Boltzmann Method with multi-range pseudo-potential

The physical behavior of a class of mesoscopic models for multiphase flows is analyzed in details near interfaces. In particular, an extended pseudopotential method is developed, which permits to tune the equation of state and surface tension independently of each other. The spurious velocity…

Detweiler's gauge-invariant redshift variable: Analytic determination of the nine and nine-and-a-half post-Newtonian self-force contributions

Continuing our analytic computation of the first-order self-force contribution to Detweiler's redshift variable we provide the exact expressions of the ninth and ninth-and-a-half post-Newtonian terms.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Nanoparticle Interactions with a Planar Wall: Does Shape Matter?

Tracking droplets in soft granular flows with deep learning techniques

The state-of-the-art deep learning-based object recognition YOLO algorithm and object tracking DeepSORT algorithm are combined to analyze digital images from fluid dynamic simulations of multi-core emulsions and soft flowing crystals and to track moving droplets within these complex flows. The YOLO…

The pair correlation function of spatial Hawkes processes

We derive the pair correlation function of spatial Hawkes processes and discuss its connections with the Bartlett spectrum and other summary statistics.

Stability of eigenvalues for variable exponent problems

In the framework of variable exponent Sobolev spaces, we prove that the variational eigenvalues defined by inf sup procedures of Rayleigh ratios for the Luxemburg norms are all stable under uniform convergence of the exponents. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

On the choice of retrieval variables in the inversion of remotely sensed atmospheric measurements

In this paper we introduce new variables that can be used to retrieve the atmospheric continuum emission in the inversion of remote sensing measurements. This modification tackles the so-called sloppy model problem. We test this approach on an extensive set of real measurements from the Michelson…
