in this paper, three dimensional (3d) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) is presented. using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. a weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...

CONCLUSION Quantitative gustatory alterations are rare after microlaryngoscopy (MLS), whereas transient qualitative taste distortions occur more often. Patients undergoing MLS should know that mild but transient qualitative taste disorders may occur. OBJECTIVE Suspension MLS requires neck extension and tongue compression. Little is known about taste disorders following MLS. To investigate qua...

− The Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) system can acquire point clouds of urban environments including roads, buildings, trees, lamp posts etc. and enables effective mapping of them. With the spread of the MLS system, the demands for the management of roads and facilities using MLS point clouds have increased. Especially, pole-like objects (PLOs) such as lamp posts, utility poles, street signs etc. ...

This work presents a method for deforming meshes in a shape-sensible way using Moving Least Squares (MLS) optimization. This work explains how an approach for deforming space [10] can be transformed into a skeleton-guided deformation scheme, where more sensitivity to the mesh geometry is achieved. Given a mesh and its skeleton, for each joint a minimization problem is solved subject to position...

Moving least squares (MLS) and radial basis function (RBF) methods play a central role in multivariate approximation theory. In this paper we provide a unified framework for both RBF and MLS approximation. This framework turns out to be a linearly constrained quadratic minimization problem. We show that RBF approximation can be considered as a special case of MLS approximation. This sheds new l...

We propose an effective approach for designing a multi-lattice structure (MLS) that simultaneously considers local densities and the fillet-joint shape of struts to express practical equivalent material properties. The density each cell is optimized by changing strut diameter radius according loading conditions. properties MLS, such as elastic modulus shear modulus, are calculated based on comp...

Point sets from range scanners are noisy and do not contain additional data such as normals, which makes it difficult to create a mesh for rendering. We use the moving least-squares (MLS) approximation to get normals and differential information, and approximate the surface near each point by an MLS surface. From this we obtain a splat of a new octagonal shape which approximates the local curva...

Mobile laser scanning (MLS) is a modern and powerful technology capable of obtaining massive point clouds of objects in a short period of time. Although this technology is nowadays being widely applied in urban cartography and 3D city modelling, it has some drawbacks that need to be avoided in order to strengthen it. One of the most important shortcomings of MLS data is concerned with the fact ...

a meshless method namely, discrete least square method (dlsm), is presented in the paper for the solution of free surface seepage problem. in this method computational domain is discredited by some nodes and then the set of simultaneous equations are built using moving least square (mls) shape functions and least square technique. the proposed method does not need any background mesh therefore ...

The proper formation of a complex multicellular organism requires the precise coordination of many cellular events, including cell proliferation, cell fate specification and differentiation. The C. elegans postembryonic mesodermal lineage, the M lineage, allows us to study mechanisms coordinating these events at single cell resolution. We have identified an HMX homeodomain protein MLS-2 in a sc...
