Plasma membrane tension and the pressure generated by actin polymerization are two antagonistic forces believed to define the protrusion rate at the leading edge of migrating cells [1-5]. Quantitatively, resistance to actin protrusion is a product of membr ...
This thesis is focused on the study of the morphology of micropores formed during solidification of metallic alloys. Micropores constrained to form in well-developed dendritic solid network adopt complex non-spherical shapes. Previous studies using X-ray t ...
In Control System Theory, the study of continuous-time, finite dimensional, underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations is an important topic. Classification of systems in different categories is a natural initial step to the analysis of a g ...
Curvature Gabor features have recently been shown to be powerful facial texture descriptors with applications on face recognition. In this paper we introduce their use in facial action unit (AU) detection within a novel framework that combines multiple Loc ...
