Beyond Directions: Symmetry‐Aware Rotation Sets for Triaxial Diffusion Encoding by Geometric Filter Optimization

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To improve the accuracy of diffusion‐weighted powder average signals for diffusion encoding with arbitrary b‐tensors. Methods We identify an intrinsic dihedral (D2$$ {D}_2 $$) symmetry of diffusion signals for arbitrary diffusion encoding, which defines their natural signal space (a quotient of 3D rotations).

On minimal hypersurfaces of nonnegatively Ricci curved manifolds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1993
We consider a complete open riemannian manifold M of nonnegative Ricci curvature and a rectifiable hypersurface ∑ in M which satisfies some local minimizing property. We prove a structure theorem for M and a regularity theorem for ∑.

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

Ricci Solitons on Riemannian Hypersurfaces Generated by Torse-Forming Vector Fields in Riemannian and Lorentzian Manifolds

open access: yesAxioms
In this paper, we examine torse-forming vector fields to characterize extrinsic spheres (that is, totally umbilical hypersurfaces with nonzero constant mean curvatures) in Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds.

Compressing totally geodesic surfaces

open access: yesTopology and its Applications, 2002
In this paper we prove that one can find surgeries arbitrarily close to infinity in the Dehn surgery space of the figure eight knot complement for which some immersed totally geodesic surface compresses.

Main‐chain polyfullerenes: Taking fullerene to the next dimension

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
This short review appraises main‐chain polyfullerenes. Their slow development over 30 years has suddenly boomed with a rapid growth due to exciting developments in solar energy. Abstract This mini‐review gives an overview of the development, chemistry, properties and applications of main‐chain polyfullerenes.

Quantifying the Surface Deformation of Pingos on the Alaskan North Slope Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pingos are large mounds with cores formed of intrusive ice that form in periglacial landscapes. These ice structures can form in regions of discontinuous permafrost, commonly as hydraulic or open‐system pingos, or in locations of continuous permafrost, commonly as hydrostatic or closed‐system pingos.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Evaluating the Role of Social Capital for the Design of Sustainable River Governance Strategies: The Case of Tagus River

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...
