Markov blankets, information geometry and stochastic thermodynamics
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2019 This paper considers the relationship between thermodynamics, information and inference. In particular, it explores the thermodynamic concomitants of belief updating, under a variational (free energy) principle for self-organization.

Measuring crops in 3D: using geometry for plant phenotyping
Plant Methods, 2019 Using 3D sensing for plant phenotyping has risen within the last years. This review provides an overview on 3D traits for the demands of plant phenotyping considering different measuring techniques, derived traits and use-cases of biological applications.

Homotopy K3's with several symplectic structures
, 2001 In this note we prove that, for any integer n, there exist a smooth 4-manifold, homotopic to a K3 surface, defined by applying the link surgery method of Fintushel-Stern to a certain 2-component graph link, which admits n inequivalent symplectic ...

Reeb orbits and the minimal discrepancy of an isolated singularity [PDF]
, 2015 Let A be an affine variety inside a complex N dimensional vector space which has an isolated singularity at the origin. The intersection of A with a very small sphere turns out to be a contact manifold called the link of A.

Wind Direction Retrieval Using Spaceborne GNSS-R in Nonspecular Geometry
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020 A wind direction retrieval algorithm using spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) in nonspecular geometry is presented. This article first focuses on investigating the influence of wind direction on the scattering strength ...

Contact handles, duality, and sutured Floer homology
, 2019 We give an explicit construction of the Honda--Kazez--Mati\'c gluing maps in terms of contact handles. We use this to prove a duality result for turning a sutured manifold cobordism around, and to compute the trace in the sutured Floer TQFT. We also show

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Weakening the tight coupling between geometry and simulation in isogeometric analysis: From sub‐ and super‐geometric analysis to Geometry‐Independent Field approximaTion (GIFT) [PDF]
, 2016 This paper presents an approach to generalize the concept of isogeometric analysis by allowing different spaces for the parameterization of the computational domain and for the approximation of the solution field.
