Costantin, L. "On the formation of bulges from their observed properties in nearby galaxies." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Padova, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11577/3422316.

Abstract:

The question whether the observed properties of galaxies are imprinted by the initial conditions of their formation or determined by different evolutionary processes is still open. In the local Universe, more than 60% of stars reside in elliptical galaxies and bulges of lenticular and spiral galaxies. Thus, unveiling the paths of bulge formation and evolution ensures a better understanding of galaxies themselves. The current paradigm separates galactic bulges into two broad categories, namely classical and disk-like bulges. In this scenario, we focus on the description of the bulge component i

Abstract:

In the ambitious plan of King Louis XIV, France should have become culturally dominant in Europe. The First Minister of State Jean Baptiste Colbert suggested him to finance not only military campaigns but also scientific expeditions aimed to determine, with the highest possible accuracy, the extension of the colonial possessions, to show that France was the largest European power. The astronomers of the Académie des Sciences (founded in 1666), being also geographers and cartographers, were the “leading actors” of those dangerous expeditions, as measuring the terrestrial coordinates (latitu

Abstract:

Statistical Shape Models (SSM) have wide applications in image segmentation, surface registration and morphometry. This thesis deals with an important issue in SSM, which is establishing correspondence between a set of shape surfaces on either 2D or 3D. Current methods involve either manual annotation of the data (current ‘gold standard’); or establishing correspondences by using segmentation or registration algorithms; or using an information technique, Minimum Description Length (MDL), as an objective function that measures the utility of a model (the state-of-the-art).

Abstract:

Skeletal shape representations, in spite of their structural instabilities, have proven themselves as effective representation schemes for recognition and classification of visual shapes. They capture part structure in a compact and natural way and provide insensitivity to visual transformations such as occlusion and articulation of parts. In this thesis, we explore the potential use of disconnected skeleton representation for shape recognition and shape classification. Specifically, we first investigate the importance of contextual information in recognition where we extend the previously p

Second, it formulates that manipulation task as a set of constraints on the geometry of contact between the effector and the world. Third, it develops tool

Geometric morphometrics, the science about the study of shape, has developed much in the last twenty years. In this thesis I first study the reliability of the phylogenies built using geometric morphometrics. The effect of different evolutionary models, branch-length combinations, dimensionality and degrees of integration is explored using computer simulations. Unfortunately in the most common situations (presence of stabilizing selection, short distance between internal nodes and presence of integration) the reliability of the phylogenies is very low.

We extend this to a definition for nonclosed curves, and prove a number of results, mostly concerning under which conditions on these curves the set of shapes become manifolds.

A Statistical Shape Model (SSM) is a statistical representation of a shape obtained from data to study variation in shapes. Work on shape modelling is constrained by many unsolved problems, for instance, difficulties in modelling local versus global variation.

Since brain structure is so complex and varies across subjects, methods to identify morphological variability can be useful for diagnosis and treatment.
