In recent decades, there has been an explosion in the number and variety of embedded triply-periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) identified by mathematicians and materials scientists. Only the rare examples of low genus, however, are commonly invoked as shape templates in scientific applications. Exact analytic solutions are now known for many of the low genus examples. The more complex surfaces ar...

In this paper, we investigate whether textual analysis can yield evidence of shared vocabulary or formal textual characteristics in the works of 19th century poets Lord Byron and Thomas Moore in the genre of Romantic Orientalism. In particular, we identify and trace Byron’s influence on Moore’s writings to query whether Moore imitated Byron, as many reviewers of the time suggested. We use a Dis...

This commentary on the article by Shulman et al. examines what we understand by 'medication errors', what we mean by 'computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems', how we measure errors, and what types of errors we are 'reducing' with CPOE systems. As the research of Shulman and colleagues highlights, much of the existing research on CPOE systems does not differentiate among: types of med...

A very interesting approach to the integration of several features into the process of analyzing shape may be based on [1, Theorem 2, Section 3.5] by Aloimonos and Shulman . In this study, the implementation of this approach was tested by comparing the results of three different algorithms. For applying this approach, several specific model assump-tions and situations in scene space have to be ...
