This note gives a brief and `crash' introduction to the method of Homogenization with the use of wave equation and diffusion equation with periodic in space coefficients as instructive examples. We expose the method with the use of an…
We study the properties of different type of transforms by means of operational methods and discuss the relevant interplay with many families of special functions. We consider in particular the binomial transform and its generalizations. A…
Vitreoretinal surgery pertains to the treatment of delicate tissues on the fundus of the eye using thin instruments. Surgeons frequently rotate the eye during surgery, which is called orbital manipulation, to observe regions around the…
A simple method for breaking gauge groups by orbifolding is presented. We extend the method of Kac and Peterson to include Wilson lines. The complete classification of the gauge group breaking, e.g. from heterotic string, is now possible.…
Robotic-assisted procedures offer numerous advantages over traditional approaches, including improved dexterity, reduced fatigue, minimized trauma, and superior outcomes. However, the main challenge of these systems remains the poor…
The objective of this paper is to significantly reduce the manual workload required from medical professionals in complex 3D segmentation tasks that cannot be yet fully automated. For instance, in radiotherapy planning, organs at risk must…
In this paper, for the first time, a method is presented that can provide a fully automated surgery based on software and computer vision techniques. Then, the advantages and challenges of computerization of medical surgery are examined.…
Reconstructive surgeries often use topological manipulation of tissue to minimize post-operative scarring. The most common version of this, Z-plasty, involves modifying a straight line cut into a Z-shape, followed by a rotational…
In this short note we introduce and study a particular type of Schauder frames, namely, \Phi-Schauder frames.
We briefly review some of the recent developments in QCD spin physics.
We give a surgery formula for the torsions and Seiberg-Witten invariants associated with $Spin^c$-structures on 3-manifolds. We use the technique of Reidemeister-type torsions and their refinements.
We give a general procedure that provides, given any particular pretzel link, a braid whose closure is the pretzel link. Moreover, we manage to give a specific braid word in terms of the entries of the pretzel link.
A brief description of the magnetic resonance imaging and related advanced techniques like diffusion, perfusion and spectroscopy in the human brain examinations is given.
Topological surgery in dimension $3$ is intrinsically connected with the classification of $3$-manifolds and with patterns of natural phenomena. In this expository paper, we present two different approaches for understanding and visualizing…
Robotic surgery for minimally invasive surgery can reduce the surgeon's workload by autonomously guiding robotic forceps. Movement of the robot is restricted around a fixed insertion port. The robot often encounters angle limitations during…
The purpose of this article is to give another molecular decomposition for members of the weighted Hardy spaces.
The purpose of this paper is to study the transitive group-groupoids.
In this paper we present a methodology to address the problem of brain tissue deformation referred to as 'brain-shift'. This deformation occurs throughout a neurosurgery intervention and strongly alters the accuracy of the neuronavigation…
We describe a method to compute Hurwitz-Hodge integrals.
This paper gives a review of the experience provided by our group in terms of computer aided maxillo-facial surgery.
