In many cases X-ray images are the only basis for surgery planning. Nevertheless it is desirable to draw conclusions about the 3D-anatomy of the patient from such data. This work presents a method to reconstruct 3D shapes from few digital X-ray images on the basis of 3D-statistical shape models. At the core of this method lies an algorithm which optimizes a similarity measure assessing the difference between projections of the shape model and the X-ray images. Based on theoretical and experimental observations we propose to measure the distance between the silhouettes of the object in the projections. The method is tested on 23 synthetically generated X-rays from CT data sets of the geometrically as well as topologically complex shape of the pelvic bone
We study uncertainty in the dynamics of time-dependent flows by identifying barriers and enhancers to stochastic transport. This topological segmentation is closely related to the theory of Lagrangian coherent structu...

The visualization of networks with additional attributes attached to the network elements is one of the ongoing challenges in the information visualization domain. Such so-called multivariate networks regularly appear in various application fields, for instance, in data sets which describe friendship networks or co-authorship networks. Here, we focus on networks that are based on text documents, i.e., the network nodes represent documents and the edges show relationships between them. Those relationships can be derived from common topics or common co-authors. Attached attributes may be specific keywords (topics), keyword frequencies, etc. The analysis of such multivariate networks is challenging, because a deeper understanding of the data provided depends on effective visualization and interaction techniques that are able to bring all types of information together. In addition, automatic analysis methods should be used to support the analysis process of potentially large amounts of data. In this paper, we present a visualization approach that tackles those analysis problems. Our implementation provides a combination of new techniques that shows intra-cluster and inter-cluster relations while giving insight into the content of the cluster attributes. Hence, it facilitates the interactive exploration of the networks under consideration by showing the relationships between node clusters in context of network topology and multivariate attributes.
We present a software system that enables path-traced rendering of complex scenes. The system consists of two primary components: an application layer that implements the basic rendering algorithm, and an out-of-core ...

In this paper, a distributed model predictive control architecture based on graph theory for integrated large-scale nonlinear process systems is proposed. This architecture is first agglomerated using popular community detection techniques and then organized on account of the relative master–slave relationship according to the ample information of interactions among separate subsystems. Both sequential and iterative distributed nonlinear model predictive coordination forms are considered for the reduction of the communication and computational burden within an acceptable loss of performance. Furthermore, the control performance of the large-scale integrated system could be improved to some extent under the architecture and the communication strategy we propose, whereby a brave exploration is made on the relationship between the control structure and the control performance, ulteriorly obtaining some notable results towards the untapped territory. The effectiveness of the proposed coordination method is evaluated by a standard reactor-separator process system.

BackgroundThe focused question was: “In systemically healthy individuals with at least one two‐piece dental implant, what is the efficacy of long (≥2 mm; intervention) compared with short (<2 mm; comparison) shoulder height abutments in peri‐implant marginal bone level (MBL) changes at <1 year and ≥1 year reported by randomized controlled clinical trials?”Materials and MethodsAn electronic and hand search was conducted to identify RCTs published up to August 2022. The primary outcome variable was changed in MBL from implant surgery to subsequent follow‐ups. Mean values and standard deviations for each study were extracted. Weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Meta‐analysis for MBL changes was performed through a random‐effect restricted maximum‐likelihood model at early (<1 year) and late (≥1 year) stages of bone remodeling. Publication bias and sensitivity tests were also applied. Subgroup analysis was performed to further explore possible sources of heterogeneity in the estimated treatment effect. Trial sequential analysis was performed to assess the required information and false‐positive *** randomized clinical trials fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis with a follow‐up range from 6 to 36 months after implant surgery. Meta‐analysis revealed that long abutments significantly exhibited 0.27 mm (CI 95% −0.60, 0.06) and 0.33 mm (CI 05% −0.50, −0.16) lower MBL changes compared with short ones at <1 year and ≥1 year, respectively. Subgroup meta‐analysis revealed that studies with implants placed in a more subcrestal position significantly exhibited less differences in MBL changes between long and short abutments. No meta‐analysis was conducted for peri‐implant clinical parameters, and soft‐tissue changes provided that reported data were scarce. Trial sequential analysis revealed insufficient information size to provide a defi
