Cccd: Corner Detection And Curve Reconstruction For Improved 3d Surface Reconstruction From 2d Medical Images, Mriganka Sarmah, Arambam Neelima Oct 2023

Cccd: Corner Detection And Curve Reconstruction For Improved 3d Surface Reconstruction From 2d Medical Images, Mriganka Sarmah, Arambam Neelima

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The conventional approach to creating 3D surfaces from 2D medical images is the marching cube algorithm, but it often results in rough surfaces. On the other hand, B-spline curves and nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBSs) offer a smoother alternative for 3D surface reconstruction. However, NURBSs use control points (CTPs) to define the object shape and corners play an important role in defining the boundary shape as well. Thus, in order to fill the research gap in applying corner detection (CD) methods to generate the most favorable CTPs, in this paper corner points are identified to predict organ shape. However, CTPs must …

There is significant evidence suggesting that today's changing climate threatens many species to face a rapid extinction period in the coming decades and centuries. Understanding the changing range patterns provides significant input on biodiversity and conservation biology studies. However, warming climatic conditions may also present an opportunity for some species to expand their habitats?particularly those adapted to warmer environments. In this study, we asked how near-future climate change will affect the distribution range of the oriental sweetgum …


Fractional Semilinear Neumann Problem With Critical Nonlinearity, Zhenfeng Jin, Hongrui Sun Sep 2023

Fractional Semilinear Neumann Problem With Critical Nonlinearity, Zhenfeng Jin, Hongrui Sun

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider the following critical fractional semilinear Neumann problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} (-\Delta)^{1/2}u+\lambda u=u^{\frac{n+1}{n-1}},~u>0\quad&\, \mathrm{in}\ \Omega,\\ \partial_\nu{u}=0 &\mathrm{on}\ \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n~(n\geq5)$ is a smooth bounded domain, $\lambda>0$ and $\nu$ is the outward unit normal to $\partial\Omega$. We prove that there exists a constant $\lambda_0>0$ such that the above problem admits a minimal energy solution for $\lambda<\lambda_0$. Moreover, if $\Omega$ is convex, we show that this solution is constant for sufficiently small $\lambda$.
