(Abridged, full abstract available in the text) The main goal of the study presented in this thesis was to perform in-situ investigations on deformation structures in plastically deformed polycrystalline copper at low degrees (<5%) of…
We have analysed structural motifs in the Deem database of hypothetical zeolites, to investigate whether the structural diversity found in this database can be well-represented by classical descriptors such as distances, angles, and ring…
Driven by physical questions pertaining to quantifying particle dynamics, microscopy can now resolve complex systems at the single particle level, from cellular organisms to individual ions. Yet, available analysis techniques face…
We utilize the extensive datasets available for the Perseus molecular cloud to analyze the relationship between the kinematics of small-scale dense cores and the larger structures in which they are embedded. The kinematic measures presented…
Cartograms are a technique for visually representing geographically distributed statistical data, where values of a numerical attribute are mapped to the size of geographic regions. Contiguous cartograms preserve the adjacencies of the…
The interest in matching non-rigidly deformed shapes represented as raw point clouds is rising due to the proliferation of low-cost 3D sensors. Yet, the task is challenging since point clouds are irregular and there is a lack of intrinsic…
We present an analysis of local molecular clouds (-6 <VLSR< 30 km/s, i.e., <1.5 kpc) in the first Galactic quadrant (25.8{\deg} <l<49.7{\deg} and |b|<5{\deg}), a pilot region of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) CO survey. Using…
Computing a Single-Linkage Dendrogram (SLD) is a key step in the classic single-linkage hierarchical clustering algorithm. Given an input edge-weighted tree $T$, the SLD of $T$ is a binary dendrogram that summarizes the $n-1$ clusterings…
We propose a statistical tool to compare the scaling behaviour of turbulence in pairs of molecular cloud maps. Using artificial maps with well defined spatial properties, we calibrate the method and test its limitations to ultimately apply…
X-ray as well as electron diffraction are powerful tools for structure determination of molecules. Studies on randomly oriented molecules in the gas-phase address cases in which molecular crystals cannot be generated or the interaction-free…
Dynamic surface reconstruction of objects from point cloud sequences is a challenging field in computer graphics. Existing approaches either require multiple regularization terms or extensive training data which, however, lead to…
The method of constrained randomisation is applied to three-dimensional simulated galaxy distributions. With this technique we generate for a given data set surrogate data sets which have the same linear properties as the original data…
We use new HCN(1-0) data from the ALMOND (ACA Large-sample Mapping Of Nearby galaxies in Dense gas) survey to trace the kpc-scale molecular gas density structure and CO(2-1) data from PHANGS-ALMA to trace the bulk molecular gas across 25…
We introduce the concept of a class of equivalence of molecular clouds represented by an abstract spherically symmetric, isotropic object. This object is described by use of abstract scales in respect to a given mass density distribution.…
Point clouds are an increasingly relevant data type but they are often corrupted by noise. We propose a deep neural network based on graph-convolutional layers that can elegantly deal with the permutation-invariance problem encountered by…
High-dimensional astronomical data cubes provide a wealth of spectral and structural information that can be used to study astrophysical and chemical processes. The complexity and sheer size of these datasets pose significant challenges in…
A self-similar formalism for the study of the gravitational collapse of molecular gas provides an important theoretical framework from which to explore the dynamics of star formation. Motivated by the presence of elongated and filamentary…
Substructure in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial for establishing the correlation between star formation and feedback and has the capacity to significantly perturb stellar orbits, thus playing a central role in galaxy dynamics and…
In this work the Vacuum Energy Density Problem or Dark Energy Problem is studied on the basis of the earlier results by the author within the scope of the Holographic Principle. It is demonstrated that the previously introduced deformed…
We study the kinematic properties of dense gas surrounding massive protostars recognized by Bontemps et a. (2010) in a sample of five Massive Dense Cores in Cygnus-X. We investigate whether turbulent support plays a major role in…
