PLoS ONE, 2013 When people have different opinions in a group, they often adjust their own attitudes and behaviors to match the group opinion, known as social conformity. The affiliation account of normative conformity states that people conform to norms in order to 'fit in', whereas the accuracy account of informative conformity posits that the motive to learn from ...

Conformal Mapping with as Uniform as Possible Conformal Factor [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, 2013 According to the uniformization theorem, any surface can be conformally mapped into a domain of a constant Gaussian curvature. The conformal factor indicates the local scaling introduced by such a mapping. This process could be used to compute geometric quantities in a simplified flat domain with zero Gaussian curvature. For example, the computation of
