On the Smoothed Complexity of Convex Hulls.

open access: yes, 2015
We establish an upper bound on the smoothed complexity of convex hulls in $\mathbb{R}^d$ under uniform Euclidean ($\ell^2$) noise. Specifically, let $\{p_1^*, p_2^*, \ldots, p_n^*\}$ be an arbitrary set of $n$ points in the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $p_i=p_i^*+x_i$, where $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ are chosen independently from the unit ball of ...

Improvement of volume estimation of stockpile of earthworks using a concave hull- footprint [PDF]

open access: yesMicro, Macro & Mezzo Geoinformation, 2015
In the estimation of volume of stockpiles of earthworks, the question is no longer whether the data collected is dense and accurate (equipment and techniques capable of accurate data measurement are available), but how to manipulate the data to yield ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Structure stability of (U, Pu) C and (U, Pu) N compositions

open access: yesScientific Reports
Atomic scale computer simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) are used to calculate the formation energies and structures associated with phases in the U–N, Pu–N, U–C and Pu–C systems.

Winding number criterion for the origin to belong to the numerical range of a matrix on a loop of matrices

open access: yesMathematics Open
The numerical range of a matrix is a compact convex set in the complex plane that contains the convex hull of the spectrum of the matrix. A key question is whether the origin belongs to the convex hull of the spectrum or the numerical range.

On Disjunction Convex Hulls by Lifting

open access: yes
We study the natural extended-variable formulation for the disjunction of $n+1$ polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We demonstrate that the convex hull $D$ in the natural extended-variable space $\mathbb{R}^{d+n}$ is given by full optimal big-M lifting (i) when $d\leq 2$ (and that it is not generally true for $d\geq 3$), and also (ii) under some technical ...

Redescription of †Eobrasilia coutoi (Metatheria: Polydolopimorphia), a unique sclerocarpophagous metatherian from the Palaeogene of South America: Systematic affinities, and paleoecological and evolutionary implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ‘Palaeogene strata’ of the Itaboraí Basin (upper Paleocene‐lower Eocene), Southeastern Brazil, has preserved 29 genera and almost 50 species of metatherians (about 65% of its mammalian diversity). Among them, Eobrasilia coutoi Simpson, 1947 is the most enigmatic due to its quite fragmentary nature.
