A benchmark of simulated range images for partial shape retrieval
(Springer, 2014)
In this paper, we address the evaluation of algorithms
for partial shape retrieval using a large-scale simulated
benchmark of partial views which are used as queries. Since
the scanning of real objects is a time-consuming ...
Parametric study and shape optimization of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters by isogeometric analysis and kriging metamodeling
(Elsevier, 2020)
Piezo-electric energy harvesters (PEHs) are widely used to recycle waste vibrations for pow-ering small electronic devices. In this work, the performance of PEHs of non-conventional shapes is studied with the aim to optimize ...
Assessment of Shape Variation Patterns in Triatoma infestans (Klug 1834) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae): A First Report in Populations from Bolivia
(MDPI, 2020)
The morphological variations of four populations of geographically isolated Triatoma infestans located in the area of inter-Andean valleys and Chaco of Chuquisaca, Bolivia, were evaluated. Fifty-three females and sixty-one ...
Assessment of bullet holes through the analysis of mushroom-shaped morphology in synthetic fibres: analysis of six cases
(Springer, 2020)
Textiles damage analysis is a very valuable tool in forensic investigations. However, to date, very little research has been carried out to understand the impact of bullet causing damages to clothing. According to the ...
A comparison of methods for non-rigid 3D shape retrieval
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
Non-rigid 3D shape retrieval has become an active and important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of this paper is to measure and compare the performance of state-of-the-art methods for non-rigid ...
Experimental investigation into techniques to predict leak shapes in water distribution systems using vibration measurements
(IWA PublishingAlliance House, 2018-07)
Water loss from leaking pipes represents a substantial loss of revenue as well as environmental and public health concerns. Leak location is normally identified by placing sensors either side of the leak and recording and ...
Sex estimation of the humerus: a geometric morphometric analysis in an adult sample
(Elsevier, 2020)
Sex estimation is the keystone for positive identification when an unidentified human body is recovered in forensic contexts. However, in complex death scenes such as mass disasters, the remains are often fleshed, mutilated, ...
Improving the Chilean internet robustness: Increase the interdependencies or change the shape of the country?
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
This work addresses the study of Chilean Internet robustness in how an outage at the physical layer (Internet backbone) affects the upper layer (BGP network) that routes from/to Internet Service Providers. We propose a ...
Data-aware 3D partitioning for generic shape retrieval
(2013)
In this paper, we present a new approach for generic 3D shape retrieval based on a mesh partitioning scheme. Our method combines a mesh global description and mesh partition descriptions to represent a 3D shape. The ...
On the loss of stability of von Mises truss with the effect of pseudo-elasticity.
(2011-10-13)
The stability of von Mises truss is investigated when the stress–strain diagram of the material
constituting the rods displays hysteresis. This behavior, known as pseudo-elasticity,
is common in such materials as filled ...
