A mechanical deformation of a continuum can be expressed as a generalized coordinate transformation of space. Consequently, the equations of electrostatics in deformable media must satisfy covariance ...

Abstract: An accurate near-field diffraction synthesis method for 2-D shaped reflectors in the E-polarized wave is presented. The implemented method is based on a singular integral equation (SIE), ...

Abstract: Studies the recovery of shape from texture under perspective projection. We regard shape from texture as a statistical estimation problem, the texture being the realization of a stochastic ...

Gradient is a measure of how steep a slope is. The greater the gradient the steeper a slope is. The smaller the gradient the shallower a slope is. Gradient is usually expressed as a simplified ...

In many normative theories of synaptic plasticity, weight updates implicitly depend on the chosen parametrization of the weights. This problem relates, for example, to neuronal morphology: synapses ...

We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into the ...
