Finite element analysis of shoulder rotator cuff by Lee, Kenneth Jun Rui.

“…The author has also inputted different possible parameters such as element type, element size in order to carry out mesh refinements to find out the optimal end results. At the end, the best method, which will be decided after considering its implicated cost factors, will be handed over for further improvisations such as change in direction of forces and utilized for future use. …”

An inexact non-interior continuation method for variational inequalities and differential properties of euclidean projection onto power cone by Khanh Hien, Le Thi

“…The second part of this thesis studies differential properties of Euclidean projection onto the high dimensional power cones $K^{\alpha}_{m,n}=\{(x,z)\in \mathbb{R}^m_+ \times\mathbb{R}^n, \norm{z} \leq \prod\limits_{i=1}^m x_i^{\alpha_i}\}$, where $0<\alpha_i$ and $\sum\limits_{i=1}^m \alpha_i=1$. We find projector's formulas, its directional derivative formulas, its first order Fr\'echet derivative formulas for $K^{\alpha}_{m,n}$. …”

Egocentric hand pose estimation and distance recovery in a single RGB image by Liang, Hui, Yuan, Junsong, Thalman, Daniel

“…We address this problem by modeling the distance as a hidden variable and use the Conditional Regression Forest to infer the pose and distance jointly. Especially, we find that the pose estimation accuracy can be further enhanced by incorporating the hand part semantics. …”

Multiscale approach to nematic liquid crystals via statistical field theory by Lu, Bing-Sui

“…In particular, for the case of a fully occupied lattice, we compute the values of the isotropic-nematic transition temperature and the order parameter discontinuity predicted by (i) a continuum approximation of the nearest-neighbor Lebwohl-Lasher model and (ii) a Lebwohl-Lasher-type model with a nematogenic interaction of finite range. We find that the predictions of (i) are in reasonably good agreement with known results of Monte Carlo simulation.…”
