Expression of strain tensor in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates

Based on an analysis of connotation and extension of the concept of the orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, we have deduced a platform of strain tensor expression of Cartesian coordinates, which turns out to be a Microphone Accessories function of Lame coefficient and unit vector.By using transform matrix between Cartesian coordinates and orthogona

Domain Adaptation via Low Rank and Class Discriminative Representation for Autism Spectrum Disorder Identification: A Multi-Site fMRI Study

To construct a more effective model with good generalization performance for inter-site autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, domain adaptation based ASD diagnostic models are proposed to alleviate the inter-site heterogeneity.However, most existing methods only reduce the marginal distribution difference without considering class discriminativ
