LamelODF: a MATLAB‐based toolbox for orientation distribution analysis and mapping of lamellar minerals for laboratory and synchrotron X‐ray diffractometers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
LamelODF is a MATLAB‐based toolbox aimed at simplifying the automated extraction of orientation distribution functions from 2D X‐ray diffraction data of lamellar minerals in transmission mode. It accommodates both laboratory and synchrotron data formats, providing an integrated pipeline from raw data to spatially resolved textural maps, enabling robust

Fuel Prices and Ambient Air Pollution: A Study of Sydney*

open access: yesEconomic Record, EarlyView.
This paper explores the short‐run influence of road transport fuel prices on ambient air pollution over the period 2004–2023 for the case of Sydney, Australia. Using daily data from nine air quality monitoring stations, we find negative effects of fuel prices on ambient concentrations of several key pollutants including ozone, nitrogen dioxide and ...

Combined Shepard operators with Chebyshev nodes

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2004
In this paper we study combined Shepard-Lagrange univariate interpolation operator\[S_{n,\mu}^{L,m}(Y;f,x):=S_{n,\mu}^{L,m}(f,x)=\frac{\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n+1}\left\vert x-y_{n,k}\right\vert ^{-\mu}(L_{m}f)(x,y_{n,k})}{\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n+1}\left\vert x ...

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

A hierarchical access control scheme based on Lagrange interpolation for mobile agents

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2018
The mobile agent is functioning as an information exchanger with hosts. In order to reduce the communication time that the host sent to the members of a large system.

Comparative Analysis of Three Vertebral Screw Placement Directions in Anterior Thoracolumbar Fracture Surgery: A Finite Element Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.
This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

Transfinite Elements Using Bernstein Polynomials

open access: yesAxioms
Transfinite interpolation, originally proposed in the early 1970s as a global interpolation method, was first implemented using Lagrange polynomials and cubic Hermite splines.

4D ultrasound reveals regional left atrial strain remodelling in a murine model of reversible pressure overload

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Traditional planar imaging approaches of the left atrium do not capture complex geometry. Four‐dimensional imaging allows the acquisition of 3D data + time to visualize left atrial geometry and kinematics. We designed an advanced analysis technique to investigate left atrial biomechanics in a model of pressure overload and ...

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 926-946, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...
