EBTM: An Enumeration-Based Thresholding Method for Degraded Circular Dot Segmentation [PDF]
SensorsCircular dots are widely used in various measurement applications due to their inherent symmetry, ease of detection, and scalability. However, when degraded by factors such as specular highlights, low contrast, strong noise, or friction damage ...

Counting the Undercounted: Enumerating Rural Homelessness in Canada
International Journal on Homelessness, 2022 Until recently, homelessness in Canada was largely considered to be an urban phenomenon. This assumption has been reinforced by homelessness interventions that primarily focus on urban areas.

A generalization of the quadrangulation relation to constellations and hypermaps [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2013 Constellations and hypermaps generalize combinatorial maps, $\textit{i.e.}$ embedding of graphs in a surface, in terms of factorization of permutations.

A bijection between planar constellations and some colored Lagrangian trees [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2003 Constellations are colored planar maps that generalize different families of maps (planar maps, bipartite planar maps, bi-Eulerian planar maps, planar cacti, ...) and are strongly related to factorizations of permutations.

Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2021 The Nagumo lattice differential equation admits stationary solutions with arbitrary spatial period for sufficiently small diffusion rate. The continuation from the stationary solutions of the decoupled system (a system of isolated nodes) is used to ...
