Widely used for morphing between objects with arbitrary topology, distance field interpolation (DFI) handles topological transition naturally without the need for correspondence or remeshing, unlike surface-based interpolation approaches. However, lack of correspondence in DFI also leads to ineffective control over the morphing process. In particular, unless the user specifies a dense set of la...

We present a non-rigid surface registration technique that can align surfaces with sizes and shapes that are different from each other, while avoiding mesh distortions during deformation. The registration is constrained locally as-conformal-as-possible such that the angles of triangle meshes are preserved, yet local scales are allowed to change. Based on our conformal registration technique, we...

In this commentary I examine Richard Swinburne’s account of God’s moral goodness. According to Swinburne, goodness consists in His immunity irrational motivation and the maximal perfection motivation. Such a God Swinburne calls ‘best-acting’ argues that He is simplest kind personal who could explain existence our universe. my commentary, first consider some implications God's goodness, which se...

There is an epidemic of pediatric obesity in the United States. In most cases, there is an excess in the amount of calories consumed, compared with the amount of calories expended. Numerous body systems are affected by pediatric obesity, with complications varying between boys and girls. Behavioral, genetic, and environmental factors affect the ability of children to avoid becoming obese. Prima...
