Scale invariance without scale selection [PDF]

open access: yes2008 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2008
In this work we construct scale invariant descriptors (SIDs) without requiring the estimation of image scale; we thereby avoid scale selection which is often unreliable. Our starting point is a combination of log-polar sampling and spatially-varying smoothing that converts image scalings and rotations into translations.

Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repair With Soft Tissue Scaffolds

open access: yesOrthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015
Background Tears of the rotator cuff are one of the most common tendon disorders. Treatment often includes surgical repair, but the rate of failure to gain or maintain healing has been reported to be as high as 94%. This has been substantially attributed

Scaling and scale breaking in polyelectrolytes

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 1996
We consider the thermodynamics of a uniformly charged polyelectrolyte with harmonic bonds. For such a system there is at high temperatures an approximate scaling of global properties like the end-to-end distance and the interaction energy with the chain length divided by the temperature.
