The Visualization of Second-Order Tensor Fields
The field of scientific visualization covers the study of visual representations of sci- entific data. These data often consist of continuous scalar, vector, or second-order tensor fields extending across a n-dimensional space, with n less than 1. While research efforts aimed at developing efficient representations of scalar and vector data have led to important achievements, this dissertation is the first extensive study of visualization techniques for second-order tensor fields. Tensor fields are multivariate; they can embed as much information as n squared scalar fields, or equivalently, n vector fields. Visualizing continuous tensor data is, therefore, difficult mainly because the underlying continuity must be rendered while visual clutter has to be avoided. We develop a theoretical ground work for the visualization of symmetric tensor fields by studying their geometry and their topological structure, and by designing at each step appropriate icons to represent the information. We also extend some of our concepts to asymmetric tensor data. First, we design icons that emphasize the continuity of the tensor data, overcoming some of the limitations of discrete point icons. A n-dimensional, symmetric tensor field is equivalent to n orthogonal families of smooth and continuous curves that are tangent to the eigenvector fields. For n = 2 we generate textures to render these trajectories, and for n = 3 we use numerical integration. To fully represent the tensor data, we surround the resulting trajectories by tubular surfaces that represent the transverse eigenvectors-we call these surfaces hyper-streamlines. We also define the concept of a solenoidal tensor field, and we show that its hyperstreamlines possess geometric properties similar to the streamlines of solenoidal vector fields. Then, we analyze the topology of symmetric tensor fields by using a formalism which is analogous to the phase-space analysis of dynamical systems.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Consistency Properties for Growth Model Parameters Under an Infill Asymptotics Domain
Growth curves are used to model various processes, and are often seen in biological and agricultural studies. Underlying assumptions of many studies are that the process may be sampled forever, and that samples are statistically independent. We instead consider the case where sampling occurs in a finite domain, so that increased sampling forces samples closer together, and also assume a distance-based covariance function. We first prove that, under certain conditions, the mean parameter of a fixed-mean model cannot be estimated within a finite domain. We then numerically consider more complex growth curves, examining sample sizes, sample spacing, and quality of parameter estimates, and close with recommendations to practitioners.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Providing a Theoretical Basis for Nanotoxicity Risk Analysis Departing From Traditional Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling
Novel properties of engineered nanoparticles that make them attractive may also present unique exposure risks. The traditional physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling assumption of instantaneous equilibration likely does not apply to nanoparticles. This simulation-based research begins with development of a model that includes di usion, active transport, and carrier mediated transport. Eigenvalue analysis was used to examine model behavior to focus future research. Results show that cellular transport processes greatly a ect biokinetics of nanoparticles. The new paradigm established by this research leverages traditional in vitro, in vivo, and PBPK modeling, but includes area under the curve to bridge animal testing results to humans. This allows assessment of risk and assists in setting appropriate exposure limits. The model provides critical understanding of nanoparticle biokinetics and allows estimation of total exposure. This e ort highlights future research needs and demonstrates how modeling can be used as a tool to advance nanoparticle risk assessment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

From Human Attention to Computational Attention
The new edition of this popular book introduces the study of attention, focusing on attention modeling, and addressing such themes as saliency models, signal detection, and different types of signals, including real-life applications. The first edition was written at a moment when the Deep Learning Neural Network (DNNs) techniques were just at their beginnings in terms of attention. Deep learning has recently become a key factor in attention prediction on images and video, and attention mechanisms have become key factors in deep learning models. The second edition tackles the arrival of DNNs for attention computing in images and video, and also discusses the attention mechanisms within DNNs (attention modules, transformers, grad-cam-based saliency maps, etc.). From Human Attention to Computational Attention 2nd Edition also explores the parallels between the brain structures and the DNN architectures to reveal how biomimetics can improve the model designs. The book is truly multi-disciplinary, collating work from psychology, neuroscience, engineering, and computer science.

The Secret Life of a Cemetery
From the head curator of the most famous cemetery in the world--a moving and "enchanting" (Guardian) story about a place where joy, grief, and wild nature converge in unexpected and inspiring ways. "Not only is this a book that answers, fact for fact, everything you ever wanted to know about P癡re-Lachaise but were afraid to ask, it is also a portrait of a person who truly loves his work."--The New York Times For Beno簾t Gallot, P癡re Lachaise is best explored without a guide: You're guaranteed to lose your way. You'll feel as though you've stepped out of time, out of Paris, and into another place entirely. In his debut memoir, Gallot, head curator of P癡re Lachaise and son of a grave stonemason, pulls back the curtains on his otherworldly workplace--a cemetery crammed with tourists in the high season and mourners year round, but also a natural paradise, where foxes roam, birds flit between trees, and wildflowers and moss encroach onto tombstones. In elegant, engrossing chapters, Gallot reveals the secret world of P癡re Lachaise--its Napoleonic origins, its unusual graves and monuments--alongside touching stories from his working life in the cemetery. Born into a family of undertakers, Gallot was named curator of P癡re-Lachaise in his early-thirties, inheriting the complex job of managing over 100 acres of green space, overseeing 70,000 graves, and arranging burials and cremations, all while contending with millions of tourists--plus film crews, birdwatchers, ghost hunters, and the occasional nude performance artist. Gallot, who also lives on the cemetery grounds with his wife and young children, demystifies his unusual and often misunderstood profession, which in reality requires much more contact with living people than dead ones. In doing so, he provides insight into the history of graveyards and our evolving relationship with death. Gallot also shares vivid descriptions of flora and fauna, which have reemerged in recent years thanks to a huge rewilding effort. Initially unsure about the idea, he embraced it as the cemetery alleys blossomed and birdsong proliferated. Then in April 2020, with the city in lockdown, Gallot took an early-morning stroll and crossed paths with a fox--in the middle of Paris! He snapped a picture and posted it, unwittingly setting off a media frenzy. Gallot's daily photographs of P癡re-Lachaise's flourishing animal and plant life have attracted followers from around the world, helping to change the public perception of cemeteries, which ultimately exist as places for the living. A bestseller in France, lauded as "a superb book ... full of humor, empathy, and great sweetness" by the French literary press, The Secret Life of a Cemetery is a life-affirming read that will stand the test of time.

A Tale of Seven Elements
In 1913, English physicist Henry Moseley transformed our understanding of the elements by organizing them by atomic number, from hydrogen to uranium. However, it soon became obvious that researchers had yet to discover seven completely unknown elements. In this updated and expanded edition of his acclaimed book, Eric Scerri presents the intriguing stories of these elements--protactinium, hafnium, rhenium, technetium, francium, astatine, and promethium. It follows their discoveries through the two world wars, starting with protactinium in 1917 and ending with promethium in 1945. Scerri details the research leading to each discovery, the pivotal experiments, the chemists involved, the properties of each element, and their applications. For example, hafnium alloys, named after Copenhagen (hafnia), have some of the highest boiling points and are used in rocket thrusters like those on the Apollo Lunar Modules. Scerri then examines the integration of twenty-five new elements into the periodic table over the past fifty years and concludes with a new chapter on rare earth elements and the histories of their discoveries. The Second Edition of A Tale of Seven Elements vividly portrays the journey of chemical research, from missteps and disputes to the thrill of discovery, illuminating the researchers behind the elements, as much as their breakthroughs.
