A Minimalist Approach to Type-Agnostic Detection of Quadrics in Point Clouds [PDF]
, 2018 This paper proposes a segmentation-free, automatic and efficient procedure to detect general geometric quadric forms in point clouds, where clutter and occlusions are inevitable.

How round is a protein? Exploring protein structures for globularity using conformal mapping. [PDF]
, 2014 We present a new algorithm that automatically computes a measure of the geometric difference between the surface of a protein and a round sphere. The algorithm takes as input two triangulated genus zero surfaces representing the protein and the round ...

Spectral Generalized Multi-Dimensional Scaling [PDF]
, 2013 Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a family of methods that embed a given set of points into a simple, usually flat, domain. The points are assumed to be sampled from some metric space, and the mapping attempts to preserve the distances between each pair ...

Partitions of Minimal Length on Manifolds [PDF]
, 2016 We study partitions on three dimensional manifolds which minimize the total geodesic perimeter. We propose a relaxed framework based on a $\Gamma$-convergence result and we show some numerical results.

On the two-dimensional rotational body of maximal Newtonian resistance [PDF]
, 2009 We investigate, by means of computer simulations, shapes of nonconvex bodies that maximize resistance to their motion through a rarefied medium, considering that bodies are moving forward and at the same time slowly rotating.

Stored energies in electric and magnetic current densities for small antennas [PDF]
, 2013 Electric and magnetic currents are essential to describe electromagnetic stored energy, as well as the associated quantities of antenna Q and the partial directivity to antenna Q-ratio, D/Q, for general structures. The upper bound of previous D/Q-results

Design for Additive Manufacturing: A Method to Explore Unexplored Regions of the Design Space [PDF]
, 2007 Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies enable the fabrication of parts and devices that are geometrically complex, have graded material compositions, and can be customized.

Simultaneous elastic shape optimization for a domain splitting in bone tissue engineering
, 2018 This paper deals with the simulateneous optimization of a subset $\mathcal{O}_0$ of some domain $\Omega$ and its complement $\mathcal{O}_1 = \Omega \setminus \overline{\mathcal{O}}_0$ both considered as separate elastic objects subject to a set of ...
