3D Brain Segmentation Using Dual-Front Active Contours with Optional User Interaction by Hua Li, Anthony Yezzi, Laurent D. Cohen

“…The resulting scheme is not only more robust but much faster and allows the user to guide the final segmentation through simple mouse clicks which add extra seed points. Due to the flexibly global nature of the dual-front evolution model, single mouse clicks yield corrections to the segmentation that extend far beyond their initial locations, thus minimizing the user effort. …”

Terrestrialisation and the cranial architecture of tetrapods by Ingmar Werneburg

“…I trace the changes in feeding mode and body posture at the transition from semi-aquatic to fully terrestrial tetrapods and discuss changes in the position of bite points. Through evolution, an increasing bite force is argued to have a crucial influence on the formation of new skull openings, such as the supratemporal and the antorbital fenestrae in archosaurs, by changing the direction of stress flows in the skull. …”

Correlations and Fractality in Sentence-Level Sentiment Analysis Based on VADER for Literary Texts by Ricardo Hernández-Pérez, Pablo Lara-Martínez, Bibiana Obregón-Quintana, Larry S. Liebovitch, Lev Guzmán-Vargas

“…By applying the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) and the Higuchi Fractal Dimension (HFD) methods to these sentiment series, we find that they are monofractal with long-term correlations, which can be explained by the fact that the writing process has memory by construction, with a sentiment evolution that is self-similar. Furthermore, we discretize these series by applying a classification approach which transforms the series into a one on which each data point has only three possible values, corresponding to positive, neutral or negative sentiments. …”

Mesoscopic Mechanism of Permeability of Coal Rock Mass with Increasing Temperature in the Range of Room Temperature to 350°C by Jianlin Xie, Tao Meng, Tingxu Jin, Xiaoyuan Sun

“…In this paper, the following conclusions were obtained from an experimental study of the fine-scale structural evolution of coking coal and fine sandstone specimens, using an experimental research method of simultaneous image observation of the pore structure evolution of coal rock samples by online heating. (1) With the increase of temperature, the inner areas of coal and rock mass with both solid particles and pure pores are affected by temperature. …”
