### Amazing gymnast/actress babe writes PDE/CD papers

.. with a Harvard guy. Is this an FCP gut, or what: To illustrate our techniques, we computed parameterizations for several types of anatomical surfaces in 3-D magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampi, and lateral ventricles. For surfaces that are topologically homeomorphic to each other and have similar geometrical structures, we show that the parameterization results are consistent and the subdivided surfaces can be matched to each other. Finally, we present an automatic sulcal landmark location algorithm by solving PDEs on cortical surfaces.

Impressive, but no bikini pictures. wtf?

Mr roT said...

Where's the "Ewwww--says Tecs--she didn't even go to Princeton" label.
Duh.

Tecumseh said...

Harvard not good enough for you anymore, Mr Rot? Note that the babe doesn't just solve random PDEs like you do, but PDEs that have something to do with the brain, and the topology thereof. Pow!

Mr roT said...

The topology of the brain? Probably, it's contractible.

Tecumseh said...

That's so not interesting. You can do more interesting constructions, even on things that look like balls, and get some interesting topology on the auxiliary gadget. You gotta use more delicate tools for an object as complex as the human brain, Mr Rot. Have you ever pondered that object in any level of depth?

Pretty good Erdős Bacon number:

Former NCAA gymnastics champion Kiralee Hayashi may be the professional actress with the lowest Erdős number (3), having co-written a peer-reviewed mathematics paper on Riemannian manifolds with Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau, and having a Bacon number of 2, giving her an Erdős–Bacon number of 5.

So what's your Erdős number, Mr roT?

Arelcao Akleos said...

Mr. Rot swears by the Pontryagin-Bardot number.

Mr roT said...

Damn! I was going to point out that she co's with Yau, but got distracted.
VCP.

Tecumseh said...

Of course, I had mentioned that in the original post, just under the pic -- a reference to Harvard that evidently flew over Mr Rot's head. Who's jeroboam is this?

Mr roT said...

I got distracted for less than a minute and was freed of a word in a sentence of Tecs'. It's a good thing that there's no death penalty in Austria.

what's your Erdős number, Mr roT? I have no idea. I think that the heterosexual branches of the sciences, like physics and PDE, are disconnected from the complement and so my whatever number is $\infty$.
