Discrete Bisector Function and Euclidean Skeleton [PDF]

, 2005
We propose a new definition and an exact algorithm for the discrete bisector function, which is an important tool for analyzing and filtering Euclidean skeletons. We also introduce a new thinning method which produces homotopic discrete Euclidean skeletons. Unlike previously proposed approaches, this method is still valid in 3D.

Bisector Energy and Few Distinct Distances [PDF]

Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2016
We introduce the bisector energy of an $n$-point set $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, defined as the number of quadruples $(a,b,c,d)$ from $P$ such that $a$ and $b$ determine the same perpendicular bisector as $c$ and $d$. If no line or circle contains $M(n)$ points of $P$, then we prove that the bisector energy is $O(M(n)^{\frac{2}{5}}n^{\frac{12}{5}+ε} + M(n)n^

Low‐Pressure Plasma‐Based Wrinkling of PDMS and Machine Learning‐Driven Property Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wrinkled surfaces are well‐suited for controlled surface deformations in the µm range. The key challenge is the relation between the resulting wrinkle features and the necessary process conditions. Machine learning techniques have solved the prediction and inverse design problems for various preparation conditions, opening a precisely controlled ...

In‐Process Magnetization for 3D Printing of Magnetorheological Elastomer with Heterogeneous Magnetic Profile for Anisotropic Actuation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fully programmable, in‐process 3D magnetization integrated with multi‐material printing enables soft magnetic systems with precise actuation and sensing. Discrete and continuous magnetization profiles drive bending, morphing, and locomotion, demonstrated through strain‐sensing elements, dragonfly‐inspired wings, octopus‐like tentacles, and a serpentine

Longitudinal Single‐Axon‐Resolution Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Injury Response in Mice Using an Optical Window Implant

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive optical window enables stable, long‐term imaging of peripheral nerves in vivo at single‐axon resolution. Dynamic processes of degeneration, regeneration, and cellular remodeling are visualized across multiple time scales within the same nerve region, providing a unique platform to study a variety of anatomical and molecular events ...

Kaempferol Attenuates Spaceflight‐Associated Knee Cartilage Degradation by Targeting NOX4‐Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We have shown that both simulated and actual spaceflight contribute to cartilage degradation in the knees of mice. Using RNA sequencing and bioenergetic profiling, we identified NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) as a key factor driving these changes. Additionally, we found that kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid that binds directly to NOX4, reduces ...

Geometric Properties of Bisector Surfaces

Graphical Models, 2000
This paper studies algebraic and geometric properties of curve?curve, curve?surface, and surface?surface bisectors. The computation is in general difficult since the bisector is determined by solving a system of nonlinear equations. Geometric considerations will help us to determine several distinguished curve and surface pairs which possess elementary

NbOx Mott Memristor‐Based Oscillatory P‐trit for Ternary Potts Machine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A ternary Potts machine utilizing NbOx‐based probabilistic trits (p‐trits) is demonstrated for efficient combinatorial optimization. By leveraging the electro‐thermal switching dynamics of NbOx memristors, this architecture generates three‐state stochastic fluctuations.

A High-resolution, Inversion-based Synoptic Study of Solar Granulation

The Astrophysical Journal
The convectively driven, weakly magnetized regions of the solar photosphere dominate the Sun’s surface at any given time, but the temporal variations of these quiet regions of the photosphere throughout the solar cycle are still not well known.
