Generalized $C^1$ quadratic B-splines generated by Merrien subdivision algorithm and some applications

open access: yes, 2004
A new global basis of B-splines is defined in the space of generalized quadratic splines (GQS) generated by Merrien subdivision algorithm. Then, refinement equations for these B-splines and the associated corner-cutting algorithm are given.

Dosing Interval Extension of Dupilumab in CRSwNP: Five‐Year Real World Outcomes

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a persistent, often Type 2‐mediated inflammatory disease that markedly impairs quality of life. While dupilumab provides rapid improvement, there is limited evidence on long‐term outcomes beyond 2 years, and the clinical impact of dosing‐interval extension remains unclear.

Distinct Prescription Patterns Emerge Years Before ALS Diagnosis: A Nationwide Registry‐Based Study

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The prodromal phase of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is poorly defined. We aimed to characterize prescription drug use patterns in the pre‐diagnostic period by analyzing nationwide prescription data to identify the earliest divergence between individuals who developed ALS and matched healthy controls.

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.

Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Boyanov-Naydenov problem and Kolmogorov type inequalities for positive (negative) parts of functions

open access: yesResearches in Mathematics
We prove that Boyanov-Naidenov problem $\|x^{(k)}_{\pm}\|_{q,\, \mu} \to \sup$ on classes of functions $\Omega^r_p(A_0, A_r):=\{x\in L^r_{\infty}: \|x^{(r)}\|_{\infty}\le A_r, L(x)_p\le A_0 \}$, where $k= 0,1,...,r-1$, $q \ge 1$ for $k\ge 1$, $q \ge p ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Controlled bending of a charged elastic cantilever in electric field

open access: yesВестник Самарского университета: Естественнонаучная серия
The bending of ultrathin single-layer metal plates in a controlled electric field is modeled. The plate (cantilever) form factor corresponds to elements of high-speed optical shutters in dynamic X-ray lithography.
