We would like to add a comment on another important contribution of Arthur Keith to the Weld of herniology, that is, the original and accurate description of the inguinal “shutter” mechanism, a remarkable anatomic action ...

We address the problem of robust and efficient treatment of element collapse and inversion in corotational FEM simulations of deformable objects in two and three dimensions, and show that existing degeneration treatment ...

Skeleton-driven animation is popular by its simplicity and intuitive control of the limbs of a character. Linear blend skinning (LBS) is up to date the most efficient and simple deformation method; however, painting influence ...

We are interested in studying the genesis of a very common pathology: the human inguinal hernia. How the human inguinal hernia appears is not definitively clear, but it is accepted that it is caused by a combination of ...

We consider bimodal linear dynamical systems consisting of two linear dynamics acting on each side of a given hyperplane, assuming continuity along the separating hyperplane. Focusing in the planar case, we describe which ...

We introduce a facial deformation system that helps the character setup process and gives artists the possibility to manipulate models as if they were using a puppet. The method uses a set of labels that define specific ...

Though variable selection is one of the most relevant tasks in microbiome analysis, e.g. for the identification of microbial signatures, many studies still rely on methods that ignore the compositional nature of microbiome ...
