Geometric morphometry as a modern tool in medfly morphological variability assessment [PDF]
, 2021 Compared to other fruit fly species the Mediterranean fruit fly or medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is the most important fruit fly due to its ability to survive adverse and often unfavorable conditions. It is highly polyphagous since it inhabits over 200 plants species. Medfly is quarantine pest in Croatia (A2 list).

Geometric Convolutional Neural Network for Analyzing Surface-Based Neuroimaging Data
, 2017 The conventional CNN, widely used for two-dimensional images, however, is not directly applicable to non-regular geometric surface, such as a cortical thickness. We propose Geometric CNN (gCNN) that deals with data representation over a spherical surface

Micro Elastofluidics for Tuneable Droplet Merging
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This technical paper provides a proof of concept of fully flexible and stretchable microfluidic technology for tuneable droplet mixing and merging. The phenomenon is justified through theoretical, numerical and experimental studies. ABSTRACT Droplet microfluidics enables precise handling of discrete fluid volumes at the microscale, with broad ...
