Image-Based Dynamic Quantification of Aboveground Structure of Sugar Beet in Field

Remote Sensing, 2020
Sugar beet is one of the main crops for sugar production in the world. With the increasing demand for sugar, more desirable sugar beet genotypes need to be cultivated through plant breeding programs.

Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.

Fast, Nondestructive and Precise Biomass Measurements Are Possible Using Lidar-Based Convex Hull and Voxelization Algorithms

Remote Sensing
Light detection and ranging (lidar) scanning tools are available that can make rapid digital estimations of biomass. Voxelization and convex hull are two algorithms used to calculate the volume of the scanned plant canopy, which is correlated with ...

Convex hulls in hamming space enable efficient search for similarity and clustering of genomic sequences

BMC Bioinformatics, 2020
Background In molecular epidemiology, comparison of intra-host viral variants among infected persons is frequently used for tracing transmissions in human population and detecting viral infection outbreaks.

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Linear Matrix Inequality‐based design of distributed proportional‐integral‐derivative for the output consensus tracking in heterogeneous high‐order multi‐agent systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This article addresses the cooperative output consensus tracking problem for high‐order heterogeneous multi‐agent systems via a distributed proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID)‐like control strategy and proposes two novel control methodologies for the tuning of the control gains, which do not require any assumption and/or limitation on agent

Adaptive event‐based asynchronous approach for containment control of Markov jump multi‐agent systems with hidden Markov models

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper focuses on the issue of adaptive event‐triggered containment control for Markov jump multi‐agent systems characterized by hidden Markov jump parameters. The central objective is to design an output‐feedback controller for the Markov jump multi‐agent system by using an adaptive event‐triggered technique that not only ensures the ...

Fuzzy Clustering Using the Convex Hull as Geometrical Model

Advances in Fuzzy Systems, 2015
A new approach to fuzzy clustering is proposed in this paper. It aims to relax some constraints imposed by known algorithms using a generalized geometrical model for clusters that is based on the convex hull computation.

An Efficient Method Using Small‐Sized Datasets Based upon Generative Adversarial Networks: Investigation of Cluster Configuration Space

Chemistry–Methods, EarlyView.
An efficient method based on generative adversarial networks is proposed using small‐sized datasets. The atomic and molecular cluster configuration spaces are investigated to show the generation ability of the proposed method. Benchmark results demonstrate superior performance over the widely used genetic algorithms.

Xylose Acetals ‐ a New Class of Sustainable Solvents and Their Application in Enzymatic Polycondensation

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...
