Automatic tractography and segmentation using finsler geometry based on higher-order tensor fields.

Background And Objective: We focus on three-dimensional higher-order tensorial (HOT) images using Finsler geometry. In biomedical image analysis, these images are widely used, and they are based on the diffusion profiles inside the voxels. The diffusion information is stored in the so-called diffusion tensor D.

Geodesic fiber tracking in white matter using activation function.

Background And Objective: The geodesic ray-tracing method has shown its effectiveness for the reconstruction of fibers in white matter structure. Based on reasonable metrics on the spaces of the diffusion tensors, it can provide multiple solutions and get robust to noise and curvatures of fibers. The choice of the metric on the spaces of diffusion tensors has a significant impact on the outcome of this method.

Computer simulation study of metastable ice VII and amorphous phases obtained by its melting.

Molecular dynamics simulations of metastable ice VII and cubic ice Ic are carried out in order to examine (1) the ability of commonly used water interaction potentials to reproduce the properties of ices, and (2) the possibility of generating low-density amorphous (LDA) structures by heating ice VII, which is known to transform to LDA at approximately 135 K at normal pressure [S.
