Abstract: In this paper, we present a generative sketch model for human hair analysis and synthesis. We treat hair images as 2D piecewise smooth vector (flow) fields and, thus, our representation is ...

This repository contains a 2D tile map engine which is built with data and cache friendly ways. My main goal here is to provide a simple, high performance library to handle large scale tile maps in ...

No vaccine is currently available for Lassa fever, a viral hemorrhagic disease that is estimated to cause thousands of deaths each year in western Africa. A replication-competent recombinant vesicular ...

Vello is a 2D graphics rendering engine written in Rust, with a focus on GPU compute. It can draw large 2D scenes with interactive or near-interactive performance, using wgpu for GPU access. Vello's ...

School of Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece. A Google Scholar search for the term “Timoshenko beam” currently yields approximately 127,000 results—an ...

Abstract: We propose a novel design of photonic crystal fiber to achieve the single-polarization single-mode transmission. The topology of this design only employs, with a view of simplicity and ...

Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) are becoming an alternative to Multiple-point Statistics (MPS) techniques to generate stochastic fields from training images. But a difficulty for all the ...

A recent challenge in the field of bioimaging is to image vital, thick, and complex tissues in real time and in non-invasive mode. Among the different tools available for diagnostics, nonlinear ...

Living systems differ from dead matter in one crucial aspect: They are driven by internal engines. In anisotropic fluids, the widely accepted framework of active matter theory predicts that this ...
