Elastic Registration of Edges Using Diffuse Surfaces
In this work, edge sets are mapped one to the other by representing these zero area sets as diffuse images which have positive measure supports that can be registered elastically. The driving application for this work is to map a Purkinje fiber network in the endocardium of one heart to the endocardium of another heart. The approach is to register sufficiently accurate diffuse surface represent...
متن کاملEnergetically optimal running requires torques about the centre of mass
Bipedal animals experience ground reaction forces (GRFs) that pass close to the centre of mass (CoM) throughout stance, first decelerating the body, then re-accelerating it during the second half of stance. This results in fluctuations in kinetic energy, requiring mechanical work from the muscles. However, here we show analytically that, in extreme cases (with a very large body pitch moment of ...
متن کاملMeasurements of surface elastic torques in liquid crystals : a method to measure elastic constants and anchoring energies
2014 Surface torques exerted by a nematic liquid crystal on a solid plate are investigated. Three different geometries are considered. The torques are generated by applying a uniform magnetic field to the nematic sample and are measured by a torsion pendulum. The elastic constants of the nematic Liquid Crystal and the anchoring energy at the interface can be obtained by this kind of measurement...
متن کاملMembrane Elastic Properties and Cell Function
Recent studies indicate that the cell membrane, interacting with its attached cytoskeleton, is an important regulator of cell function, exerting and responding to forces. We investigate this relationship by looking for connections between cell membrane elastic properties, especially surface tension and bending modulus, and cell function. Those properties are measured by pulling tethers from the...
متن کاملElastic Membrane Based Model of Human Perception
In this work a new approach to multidimensional geometry and multidimensional physics based on smooth infinitesimal analysis (SIA) is proposed. Reality may be considered as the process of time evolution of holistic energetically very weak macro objects elastic membranes with the geometry based on smooth infinitesimal analysis. An embedded membrane in this multidimensional world will look differ...
