Sensors, 2019 The non-rigid multi-modal three-dimensional (3D) medical image registration is highly challenging due to the difficulty in the construction of similarity measure and the solution of non-rigid transformation parameters.

Nonlocal minimal surfaces: Interior regularity, quantitative estimates and boundary stickiness [PDF]
, 2016 We consider surfaces which minimize a nonlocal perimeter functional and we discuss their interior regularity and rigidity properties, in a quantitative and qualitative way, and their (perhaps rather surprising) boundary behavior.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data. If this discrepancy derives from systematic biases in survey data responses on rental market participation, then the existing body

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines student admissions to higher education based on past performance, focusing on two measures: high school GPA and national exam scores. GPA is teacher‐assigned and based on repeated assessments, while these exams are externally graded, one‐off standardized tests. Using a nationwide dataset, we investigate how the relevance of

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Nonlocal Sar Image Despeckling by Convolutional Neural Networks
, 2019 Nonlocal methods are state-of-the-art in SAR despeckling, thanks to their ability to exploit image self-similarity. Given sufficient training data, however, methods based on deep learning have proven highly competitive.

Contesting Nationalism: Global Citizenship and Chinese Identity in Hong Kong
Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global citizenship highlights that one's identity transcends national borders, whereas nationalism prioritises individuals' identification with a specific nation‐state. In the context of nation‐building, tension could arise between global citizenship and national identity.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Proper selection of genetic material is critical for restoring populations, with local seed often selected to maximize local adaptation. But if local populations are small, inbred, or maladapted, then including genotypes from various populations may enhance population growth and long‐term adaptation.

Effects of absorption and inhibition during grating formation in photopolymer materials
, 2006 Photopolymer materials are practical materials for use as holographic recording media, as they are inexpensive and self-processing (dry processed). Understanding the photochemical mechanisms present during recording in these materials is crucial to ...

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 8, Page 1973-2102, August 2026.ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...
