Systolic algorithms for B-spline patch generation

open access: yes, 1991
A systolic array for constructing the blending functions of B-spline curves and surfaces is described and shown to be 7k times faster than the equivalent sequential computation.

Economy of Touch : Task‐Driven Information Selection in Electrical Impedance Tomography‐based Tactile Robotic Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) tactile skins enable multiplexed measurements that trade sensing speed against information richness. This work introduces an economy‐of‐touch framework that treats tactile sensing as an information‐budgeting problem.

Splines and vector splines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The thrust of this report concerns spline theory and some of the background to spline theory and follows the development in (Wahba, 1991). We also review methods for determining hyper-parameters, such as the smoothing parameter, by Generalised Cross Validation.

A Generalised Linear and Nonlinear Spline filter

open access: yes
In this paper, a generalised spline filter, that has a unified description for both the linear spline filter and the nonlinear robust spline filter, is proposed.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

18. Smoothing spline (p. 21)

open access: yes, 2008
This chapter promotes, details and exploits the fact that (univariate) splines, i.e., smooth piecewise polynomial functions, are weighted sums of B-splines. 1.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Fuzzy clustering of time series gene expression data with cubic-spline

open access: yes, 2013
Data clustering techniques have been applied to ex- tract information from gene expression data for two decades. A large volume of novel clustering algorithms have been developed and achieved great success.
