Riemannian Geometry and Molecular Similarity II: Kähler Quantization [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2023
Shape similarity between molecules is a concept used by chemists for virtual screening, with the goal of reducing the cost and duration of drug discovery campaigns. This paper reports an entirely novel shape descriptor as an alternative to the previously described descriptors (Hall et al.

Unsupervised eye pupil localization through differential geometry and local self-similarity matching.

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2014
The automatic detection and tracking of human eyes and, in particular, the precise localization of their centers (pupils), is a widely debated topic in the international scientific community.

Quantifying similarity of pore-geometry in nanoporous materials [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Pore structure plays an important role in dictating gas storage performance for nanoporous materials. Here, Smit and colleagues develop a topological approach to quantify pore structure similarity, and exploit the resulting descriptor to screen for ...

Similarity-Projection Structures: The Logical Geometry of Quantum Physics [PDF]

open access: greenInternational Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2008
Similarity-Projection structures abstract the numerical properties of real scalar product of rays and projections in Hilbert spaces to provide a more general framework for Quantum Physics. They are characterized by properties that possess direct physical meaning.

Log-Aesthetic Curves: Similarity Geometry, Integrable Discretization and Variational Principles [PDF]

open access: greenComputer Aided Geometric Design, 2018
In this paper, we consider a class of plane curves called log-aesthetic curves and their generalization which are used in computer aided geometric design. We consider these curves in the framework of the similarity geometry and characterize them as invariant curves under the integrable flow on plane curves which is governed by the Burgers equation.

Cortical gradient of a human functional similarity network captured by the geometry of cytoarchitectonic organization

open access: goldCommunications Biology, 2022
Analysis of functional MRI data from the Human Connectome Project reveals the presence of a cortical gradient, which reflects functional topology and links the macroscale functional landscape with mesoscale laminar differentiation principles.

Analysing Textbook Treatment of Similarity in Plane Geometry

open access: yesAnnales de Didactique et de Sciences Cognitives, 2019
This study presents a specific analysis of the treatment of the topic “similarity” by several college textbooks, in this case six Indonesian textbooks. The choice of this mathematical topic is justified by the fact that it requires in the activity of the

Log-Aesthetic Curves and Similarity Geometry

open access: diamondInternational Journal of Automation Technology
This paper delves into the recent advancements of log-aesthetic curves (LAC), a family of curves for industrial design. Recently it has been redefined in the context of similarity geometry, a branch of Klein geometry. Building upon the work of Miura and Gobithaasan [1], the paper explores LAC properties, delves into the connection with similarity ...

The Learning Trajectories of Similarity in Mathematics Curriculum: An Epistemological Analysis of Hong Kong Secondary Mathematics Textbooks in the Past Half Century

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
The topic of similarity plays an essential role in developing students’ deductive reasoning. However, knowing how to teach similarity and understanding how to incorporate deductive reasoning and proof along with plane geometry remain a challenge to both ...
