deForm: An interactive malleable surface for capturing 2.5D arbitrary objects, tools and touch
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2011-10)We introduce a novel input device, deForm, that supports 2.5D touch gestures, tangible tools, and arbitrary objects through real-time structured light scanning of a malleable surface of interaction. DeForm captures ... -
Deformability of Tumor Cells versus Blood Cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-12)The potential for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to elucidate the process of cancer metastasis and inform clinical decision-making has made their isolation of great importance. However, CTCs are rare in the blood, and ... -
Deformability-based cell selection with downstream immunofluorescence analysis
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016-03)Mechanical properties of single cells have been shown to relate to cell phenotype and malignancy. However, until recently, it has been difficult to directly correlate each cell's biophysical characteristics to its molecular ... -
The deformable mirror demonstration mission (DeMi) CubeSat: optomechanical design validation and laboratory calibration
(SPIE, 2018-08-21)© COPYRIGHT SPIE. Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only. Coronagraphs on future space telescopes will require precise wavefront correction to detect Earth-like exoplanets near their host stars. ... -
Deformable MRI-Ultrasound registration using correlation-based attribute matching for brain shift correction: Accuracy and generality in multi-site data
(Elsevier BV, 2019-11)Intraoperative tissue deformation, known as brain shift, decreases the benefit of using preoperative images to guide neurosurgery. Non-rigid registration of preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) to intraoperative ultrasound ... -
Deformable object animation using reduced optimal control
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2009-07)Keyframe animation is a common technique to generate animations of deformable characters and other soft bodies. With spline interpolation, however, it can be difficult to achieve secondary motion effects such as plausible ... -
Deformation and failure mechanisms of Ti–6Al–4V as built by selective laser melting
(Elsevier BV, 2019)The ability to create complex geometries with tailored material properties has brought interest in using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques for many industrial applications. However, further understanding of the complex ... -
Deformation faulting in a metastable CoCrNiW complex concentrated alloy: A case of negative intrinsic stacking fault energy?
(Elsevier BV, 2020)© 2020 Microscopic crystalline defects are of fundamental importance in unraveling the plastic deformation response and thereby tailoring the macroscopic load-bearing performances of metallic alloys. Especially in the ... -
Deformation invariant image matching by spectrally controlled diffeomorphic alignment
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-05)We present a new approach to deformation invariant image matching. Our matcher (a) aligns templates to targets over a broad range of nonlinear deformations, (b) factors the total deformation into spectral categories, where ... -
Deformation mechanisms of thermoplastic elastomers: Stress-strain behavior and constitutive modeling
(Elsevier BV, 2017-10)This work addresses the large strain behaviors of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) spanning a range of fractions of hard and soft contents in both experiment and theoretical modeling. The key mechanical features involve ... -
A deformation of instanton homology for webs
(Mathematical Sciences Publishers, 2017-12)© 2019, Mathematical Sciences Publishers. All rights reserved. A deformation of the authors’ instanton homology for webs is constructed by introducing a local system of coefficients. In the case that the web is planar, the ... -

Deformation Response of Catenated DNA Networks in a Planar Elongational Field
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020)Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society. A kinetoplast is a complex catenated DNA network that bears resemblance to a two-dimensional polymeric system. In this work, we use single-molecule experiments to study the ... -
Deformation-based loop closure for large scale dense RGB-D SLAM
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-11)In this paper we present a system for capturing large scale dense maps in an online setting with a low cost RGB-D sensor. Central to this work is the use of an “as-rigid-as-possible” space deformation for efficient dense ... -
Deformation-driven diffusion and plastic flow in amorphous granular pillars
(American Physical Society, 2015-06)We report a combined experimental and simulation study of deformation-induced diffusion in compacted quasi-two-dimensional amorphous granular pillars, in which thermal fluctuations play a negligible role. The pillars, ... -
Deformation-induced cleaning of organically fouled membranes: Fundamentals and techno-economic assessment for spiral-wound membranes
(Elsevier BV, 2021-02)Membrane fouling is a ubiquitous challenge in water treatment and desalination systems. Current reverse osmosis (RO) membrane cleaning technology relies on chemical processes, incurring considerable costs and generating ... -
Deformation-induced transitional myofibroblasts contribute to compensatory lung growth
(American Physiological Society, 2017-01)In many mammals, including humans, removal of one lung (pneumonectomy) results in the compensatory growth of the remaining lung. Compensatory growth involves not only an increase in lung size, but also an increase in the ... -
Deformations with maximal supersymmetries part 2: off-shell formulation
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-04)Continuing our exploration of maximally supersymmetric gauge theories (MSYM) deformed by higher dimensional operators, in this paper we consider an off-shell approach based on pure spinor superspace and focus on constructing ...
