However, this presents a paradox for an animal such as the honeybee, which is highly social, yet has a high metabolic rate. We test between these two com...
متن کاملT-snakes: Topology adaptive snakes
We present a new class of deformable contours (snakes) and apply them to the segmentation of medical images. Our snakes are defined in terms of an affine cell image decomposition (ACID). The 'snakes in ACID' framework significantly extends conventional snakes, enabling topological flexibility among other features. The resulting topology adaptive snakes, or 'T-snakes', can be used to segment som...

Autophagy helps cancer cells survive the stressful environment inside a tumor. However, blocking the process doesn’t kill cancer cells, so researchers have been looking for a way to make cells vulnerable to autophagy shutdown. Xia et al. used an ovarian ca...
