Pathological processes cause abnormal regional motions of the heart. Regional wall motion analyses are important to evaluate the success of therapy, especially of cell therapy, since the recovery of the heart in cell therapy proceeds slowly and results in only small changes of ventricular wall...

A method for the selection of centers for radial basis function (RBF) approximation is introduced, which reduces the computational cost of the evaluation of the approximating function. The method takes into consideration:1.the geometric information (arc length and curvature) of the approximating...

Greenhouse operation and inside climate strongly depend on the outside weather. This implies that at least a year of data collection is required to cover the whole operational domain. Greenhouse-climate models calibrated with data limited to only a small region of the operating domain (weather...

In this paper, the problem of the interpolation of explicit surfaces with vertical faults from scattered data is studied. A new interpolation scheme for compactly supported radial basis functions is proposed which is well adapted to our purpose. This method is based on the construction of an...
