The characteristic parameters of Citrus grandis var. Longanyou canopies are important when measuring yield and spraying pesticides. However, the feasibility canopy reconstruction method based on point clouds has not been confirmed with these canopies. Therefore, LiDAR cloud data for C. were obtained to facilitate management groves this species. Then, a cloth simulation filter European clusterin...

Protein representation and potential function are two important ingredients for studying protein folding, equilibrium thermodynamics, and sequence design. We introduce a novel geometric representation of protein contact interactions using the edge simplices from the alpha shape of the protein structure. This representation can eliminate implausible neighbors that are not in physical contact, an...

Native alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) is found to spontaneously form films at aqueous solution/air interfaces. Shape-response measurements to volume perturbations on drops hanging from a capillary indicate that temperature and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration strongly modify the viscoelastic properties of such films. By using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), Brewster angle micro...

We study the distribution of residence time or equivalently that of "mean magnetization" for a family of Gaussian Markov processes indexed by a positive parameter alpha. The persistence exponent for these processes is simply given by theta=alpha but the residence time distribution is nontrivial. The shape of this distribution undergoes a qualitative change as theta increases, indicating a sharp...
