[1] Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) measurements of the surface deformation at Fernandina Volcano, Galápagos (Ecuador), acquired between January 2003 and September 2010, we study the structure and the dynamics of the shallow magmatic system of the volcano. Through the analysis of spatial and temporal variations of the measured line-of-sight displacement we identify multip...

We present a coarse-to-fine surface reconstruction method based on mesh deformation to build watertight surface models of complex objects from their silhouettes and range data. The deformable mesh, which initia...

Efficient assembly of carbon nanotube (CNT) based cellular solids with appropriate structure is the key to fully realize the potential of individual nanotubes in macroscopic architecture. In this work, the macroscopic CNT sponge consisting of randomly interconnected individual carbon nanotubes was grown by CVD, exhibiting a combination of super-elasticity, high strength to weight ratio, fatigue...

Response analysis of the buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement is very important for design, detection and protection of buried pipelines. This paper looks at the buckling behavior of a buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement in the rock stratum. Effects of internal pressure, wall thickness, fault displacement and burial depth on the buckling mode and the axial...

During evolution, plants evolved various reactions to wounding. Fast wound sealing and subsequent healing represent a selective advantage of particular importance for plants growing in arid habitats. An effective self-sealing function by internal deformation has been found in the succulent leaves of Delosperma cooperi. After a transversal incision, the entire leaf bends until the wound is close...

Although several studies have investigated the effect of degradation on the behavior of structures, investigations on collapse margin ratios are rare in the literature. In this study, the effect of strength and stiffness degradation on collapse capacity of steel moment frames is investigated. The aim is to determine margin of safety against collapse using a probabilistic approach. For this reas...

The answer may be yes. A discrete model of energy-conserved wavefunction collapse is proposed. It is shown that the model is consistent with existing experiments and our macroscopic experience.

This work describes the development of a model of cerebral atrophic changes associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Linear registration, region-of-interest analysis, and voxel-based morphometry methods have all been employed to elucidate the changes observed at discrete intervals during a disease process. In addition to describing the nature of the changes, modeling disease...

This paper presents a method for effectively modeling the outer surfaces of inlay/onlay prostheses restoring teeth that are partially destroyed. We exploit 3D mesh deformation techniques: direct manipulation free-form deformation (DMFFD) [9] and multiple wires deformation (MWD) [10] with three kinds of information: standard teeth models, scanned mesh data from the plaster cast of a patient's to...
