Exponential Splines of Complex Order

open access: yes, 2013
We extend the concept of exponential B-spline to complex orders. This extension contains as special cases the class of exponential splines and also the class of polynomial B-splines of complex order.

Scalable low-complexity B-spline discretewavelet transform architecture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A scalable discrete wavelet transform architecture based on the B-spline factorisation is presented. In particular, it is shown that several wavelet filters of practical interest have a common structure in the distributed part of their B-spline ...

Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

B-spline snakes in two stages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In using Snake algorithms, the slow convergence speed is due to the large number of control points to be selected, as well as difficulties in setting the weighting factors that comprise the internal energies of the curve.

Serum Uric Acid Levels in Older Adults: Associations With Clinical Outcomes and Implications for Reference Intervals in Those Aged 70 Years and Over

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Reports have linked both high and low serum uric acid (SUA) levels to adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for SUA in older adults and assessed its association with clinically relevant outcomes in relatively healthy, community‐dwelling individuals aged ≥70 years old.

On the limits of non-uniform rational B-spline surfaces with varying weights

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
The non-uniform rational B-spline is a mathematical model commonly used in computer-aided design and manufacturing. For a non-uniform rational B-spline surface, when a single weight approaches infinity, the surface tends to the corresponding control ...

Automatic, computer aided geometric design of free-knot, regression splines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A new algorithm for Computer Aided Geometric Design of least squares (LS) splines with variable knots, named GeDS, is presented. It is based on interpreting functional spline regression as a parametric B-spline curve, and on using the shape preserving ...

An advanced variant of an interpolatory graphical display algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper an advanced interpolatory graphical display algorithm based on cardinal B-spline functions is provided. It is well-known that B-spline functions are a flexible tool to design various scale rapresentations of a signal.

Hip Morphology–Based Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction Models: Development and External Validation Using Individual Participant Data From the World COACH Consortium

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to develop hip morphology‐based radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) risk prediction models and investigates the added predictive value of hip morphology measurements and the generalizability to different populations. Methods We combined data from nine prospective cohort studies participating in the Worldwide Collaboration ...

Neutrosophic B-spline Surface Approximation Model for 3-Dimensional Data Collection [PDF]

open access: yesNeutrosophic Sets and Systems
Since there are threei membershipi functions: truth, false, and indeterminacyi, geometrical modelingi for B-spline surface approximation including neutrosophic data is particularly difficult to construct.
