Shell PCA: Statistical Shape Modelling in Shell Space
In this paper we describe how to perform Principal Components Analysis in "shell space". Thin shells are a physical model for surfaces with non-zero thickness whose deformation dissipates elastic energy. Thin shells, or their discrete counterparts, can be considered to reside in a shell space in which the notion of distance is given by the elastic energy required to deform one shape into another. It is in this setting that we show how to perform statistical analysis of a set of shapes (meshes in dense correspondence), providing a hybrid between physical and statistical shape modelling. The resulting models are better able to capture non-linear deformations, for example resulting from articulated motion, even when training data is very sparse compared to the dimensionality of the observation space.

Shape variability represents an important direct response of organisms to selective environments. Here, we use a combination of geometric morphometrics and generalised additive mixed models (GAMMs) to identify spatial pa…
The low-entropy hydration shell at the binding site of spike RBD determines the contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 variants
The infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 depends on the binding affinity of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein with the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. The calculated RBD-ACE2 binding energies i…
