A feature-based approach for atlas selection in automatic pelvic segmentation. by Guoping Shan, Xue Bai, Yun Ge, Binbing Wang

“…However, atlas-based segmentation still faces challenges due to the lack of representative atlas dataset and the computational limitations of deformation algorithms. In this work, we have proposed an atlas selection procedure (subset atlas grouping approach, MAS-SAGA) which utilized both image similarity and volume features for selecting the best-fitting atlases for contour propagation. …”

Criterion for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Behavior at the Interface of a Coal Measure Composite Reservoir by Yifeng Guo, Runxu Zhang, Xinghua Zhang, Kangkang Han, Fazhi Yan, Cunbao Deng, Zhixin Jin

“…Regarding the three expansion modes of hydraulic fractures at the interface of a coal measure composite reservoir (arrested, deflection, and penetration), based on the coupling theory of fluid flow and solid elastic deformation, a criterion that considers the influences of the injection parameters (fracturing fluid injection rate and viscosity) is established to predict the propagation path of hydraulic fractures at the interface of a composite reservoir. …”

Sociétés chorales et Renaissance de la musique anglaise, 1840-1910 by Gilles Couderc

“…Their favourite repertoire was the English oratorios of Handel and Mendelssohn, a genre which flourished all century long in the wake of the great religious awakening of the late eighteenth century and provided English and foreign composers with work in an opera-shy kingdom. Various social reformers, like John Curwen of Tonic Sol-Fa fame, developed methods to teach the untrained choristers how to read music, thus permitting their exposure to high-brow culture, to which the policy of the music publisher Novello greatly contributed. …”
