Relationships between glide efficiency and swimmers' size and shape characteristics. [PDF]
, 2012 Glide efficiency, the ability of a body to minimize deceleration over the glide, can change with variations in the body's size and shape. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between glide efficiency and the size and shape ...

Shape-Dependent Motion of Structured Photoactive Microswimmers
, 2018 We investigate the dynamics of structured photoactive microswimmers and show that morphology sensitively determines the swimming behavior. Particular to this study, a major portion of the light-activated particles’ underlying structure is built from a ...

On The Estimation Of The Shape Parameter Of A Symmetric Distribution [PDF]
Journal of Data Science, 2018 The shape parameter of a symmetric probability distribution is often more difficult to estimate accurately than the location and scale parameters. In this paper, we suggest an intuitive but innovative matching quantile estimation method for this parameter.

On the Three-Parameter Weibull Distribution Shape Parameter Estimation [PDF]
Journal of Data Science, 2021 The Weibull distribution has received much interest in reliability theory. The well-known maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of this fam- ily are not available in closed form expression. In this work, we propose a consistent and closed form estimator for shape parameter of three-parameter Weibull distribution.

Unsupervised learning of shape manifolds [PDF]
, 2007 Classical shape analysis methods use principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality of shape spaces. The basic assumption behind these methods is that the subspace corresponding to the major modes of variation for a particular class of shapes ...

A Class of Refinement Schemes With Two Shape Control Parameters
IEEE Access, 2020 A subdivision scheme defines a smooth curve or surface as the limit of a sequence of successive refinements of given polygon or mesh. These schemes take polygons or meshes as inputs and produce smooth curves or surfaces as outputs. In this paper, a class
