An image processing approach to feature-preserving B-spline surface fairing by Kawasaki, Taro, Jayaraman, Pradeep Kumar, Shida, Kentaro, Zheng, Jianmin, Maekawa, Takashi

“…In particular, our approach adaptively partitions the B-spline surface into a set of segments such that each segment has approximately uniform parameterization, generates an image from each segment in the parameter space whose pixel values are the normal vectors of the surface, and then applies a bilateral filter in the parameter domain to fair the normal field. …”

On assigning place names to geography related web pages by Zong, Wenbo, Wu, Dan, Sun, Aixin, Lim, Ee Peng, Goh, Dion Hoe-Lian

“…A rule-based place name disambiguation method and a place name assignment method capable of assigning place names to web page segments have also been proposed. We have evaluated our proposed disambiguation and assignment methods on a web page collection referenced by the DLESE metadata collection. …”

A New Invention Method to Determine the Reduction Factor for Low Fabric Tension Properties for Head Garment Fabrication by Aiman, A.F., Salleh, Mohamed Najib, Ismail, Khairul Azwan

“…Pressure garment fabric mostly supplied to the local hospitals with no information of the material properties and the fabrication method generally used a single reduction factor at various body segments. Reduction factor defined as the percentage of reducing the garment size from the original circumference of the body part which contributes to the compression. …”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…The proposed deep learning model, integrating ResNet, LSTM, and MLP, seamlessly synthesizes spatial features from coarse fishing effort distributions, sea surface factor fields, and current fields, while accounting for the temporal relationships within trajectory segments. Evaluated on 1855 East China Sea trawler VMS records and Copernicus Climate Data Store hydrological factor data, HiTrip achieves a 0.20 km interpolation error, meeting a finery 0.005° × 0.005°spatial resolution demand for fishing effort distribution analysis. …”

Dumbbell-shaped block copolymers for the fabrication of anisotropic soft actuators by Pan, Houwen Matthew, Chan, Jonathan Kai Bin, Sarkar, Jit, Goto, Atsushi

“…Characterization of anisotropic actuator strips pointed to a lamellar-like arrangement of PBA segments sandwiched between PDMS layers. Anisotropic swelling was programmed in single-layer actuators through shear-induced alignment (x-y axis) and phase separation (z-axis) of dumbbell-shaped BCPs without any additional patterning steps. …”

Flood risk analysis under consideration of river system dynamics and spatial temporal scales by Oliver, Julien

“…The risk-based approach, which quantifies both flooding frequencies and impacts, offers opportunities to design cost-efficient strategies to address all segments of the risk management cycle. While theoretically well established, current methods to quantify flood risks usually fail to capture adequately spatial and temporal dynamics of flood risks. …”
