Some Properties of Solitons (2009)
Conference Proceeding
from molecules and clusters to nanotubes and proteins (103-121). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-2590-6_6

We present a general review of some aspects of the dynamics of topological solitons in 1 and 2 dimensions. We discuss some recent work on the scattering of solitons on potential obstructions and in the presence of some external fields.

Davydov's solitons in zigzag carbon nanotubes (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Brizhik, L., Eremko, A., Piette, B., & Zakrzewski, W. (2009). Davydov's solitons in zigzag carbon nanotubes. In Proceedings of the NATO ARW “Molecular Self-Organization in Micro-, Nano-, and Macro-Dimensions: From Molecules to Water, to Nanoparticles, DNA and Proteins”, Dedicated to Alexander S. Davydov's 95th Birthday (11-24). https://doi.org/10.1002/qua.22291

Nonlinear mechanism of charge transport in low-dimensional nanosystems is considered, based on the account of the electron–phonon interaction that arises from the deformation dependencies of the on-site and the hopping interaction energies at interme...

A marked point process model with strong prior shape information for extraction of multiple, arbitrarily-shaped objects (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Kulikova, M., Jermyn, I., Descombes, X., Zhizhina, E., & Zerubia, J. (2009). A marked point process model with strong prior shape information for extraction of multiple, arbitrarily-shaped objects. In K. Yetongnon, R. Chbeir, & A. Dipanda (Eds.), The Fifth International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet Based Systems SITIS 2009 ; proceedings (180-186). https://doi.org/10.1109/sitis.2009.38

We define a method for incorporating strong prior shape information into a recently extended Markov point process model for the extraction of arbitrarily-shaped objects from images. To estimate the optimal configuration of objects, the process is sam...

A Markov random field model for extracting near-circular shapes (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Blaskovics, T., Kato, Z., & Jermyn, I. (2009). A Markov random field model for extracting near-circular shapes. In 2009 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing ICIP 2009 ; proceedings (1073-1076). https://doi.org/10.1109/icip.2009.5413472

We propose a binary Markov random field (MRF) model that assigns high probability to regions in the image domain consisting of an unknown number of circles of a given radius. We construct the model by discretizing the `gas of circles' phase field mod... Read More about A Markov random field model for extracting near-circular shapes.

A phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks (2009)
Conference Proceeding
El Ghoul, A., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2009). A phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks. In 2009 IEEE 12th International Conference on Computer Vision Workshops ; proceedings (398-404). https://doi.org/10.1109/iccvw.2009.5457672

The segmentation of directed networks is an important problem in many domains, e.g. medical imaging (vascular networks) and remote sensing (river networks). Directed networks carry a unidirectional flow in each branch, which leads to characteristic g... Read More about A phase field higher-order active contour model of directed networks.

Inflection point model under phase field higher-order active contours for network extraction from VHR satellite images (2009)
Conference Proceeding
El Ghoul, A., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2009). Inflection point model under phase field higher-order active contours for network extraction from VHR satellite images. In 17th European Signal Processing Conference 2009 ; proceedings (607-611)

The segmentation of networks is important in several imaging domains, and models incorporating prior shape knowledge are often essential for the automatic performance of this task. We incorporate such knowledge via phase fields and higher-order activ...

Bayes Linear Analysis of Imprecision in Computer Models, with Application to Understanding Galaxy Formation (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Vernon, I. R., & Goldstein, M. (2009). Bayes Linear Analysis of Imprecision in Computer Models, with Application to Understanding Galaxy Formation. In T. Augustin, F. P. A. Coolen, S. Moral, & M. C. M. Troffaes (Eds.), Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (441-450)

Imprecision arises naturally in the context of computer models and their relation to reality. An imprecise treatment of general computer models is presented, illustrated with an analysis of a complex galaxy formation simulation known as Galform. The...
